** Please note this project is created in ASP (classic). For the PHP version see http://github.com/blonkm/quizbaker-PHP

These are instructions to install the server side parts

Installation Instructions

Introduction

For this project to work you will need

  • Windows (preferably 7)
  • Internet Information Server (included in any Win7 install)
  • MS SQL Server 2008 (free download)

Windows

We have installed all software on a Windows 7 virtual machine (Win7 Ultimate), but even at home with Windows 7 Home Premium all software can run fine.

Internet Information Server

  • Go to Control panel

  • Go to Software and features

  • Go to Turn Windows Features on or off

*Enable Internet Information Server. Make sure ASP is also selected

  • Restart PC

MS SQL Server 2008 (optional, if you use MS Access)

Setup the application

setup the website

  • This website uses plain old ASP, so you don't need any ASP.NET features. You can safely switch those off if you like.

  • Open IIS

  • Click Sites

  • Click 'add website...'

  • Give it a name and click 'OK'

  • add a line to \windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts as follows

  • 127.0.0.1 quizbaker

  • You can use the default application pool, as long as this is set to 'no managed code'

  • Authentication should be set to Windows Authentication. For this feature you will need to have at least Windows 7 Professional. For Home versions, you can use Anonymous Authentication. That last option does mean students need to enter their name, instead of having it automatically recorded. If you have a domain, you should have Windows 7 Pro or higher.

  • select an application pool

  • in the application pool, set 'no managed code', and 'enable 32 bit applications' (that is for the 32 bit database driver)

  • download all code from the google code project and copy it under the site.

  • go into the file /DB/config.asp and check the settings

  • set write permissions to the website folder for the anonymous IUSR account and/or the domain users

  • test the site: go to http://quizbaker

create the MSSQL database

  • Open SQL server management studio
  • Select the database server
  • download the sql script to create the database
  • run the script in a new query window

alternative: MS Access version

  • in /db/config.asp set dbtype to MS Access
  • open quizbaker.mdb
  • modify vwSummary and vwDetails and replace DOMAIN with your own domain name
  • install the MS Access driver
  • make sure the mdb file is not read-only

test a quiz

  • create a quiz using Articulate Quizmaker
  • publish in WEB format
  • copy all files of this quiz to a folder under your site (e.g. a folder named 'quiz')
  • overwrite the quiz.html with the one in the source. You can also download the networking quiz zip file to test.
  • test the quiz http://quizbaker/quiz/quiz.html
