NetBetty: Administration
Introduction
You may have multiple configurations saved, to allow for an easy switch over should the need arise. Each configuration record is given a unique ID number which is referenced within the header file of the web site. This ensures that the web site is using the correct configuration settings.
A summary of the information stored within each configuration file is as follows:
| Site Application: | Site name and Url, browser timeout, business stream. |
|---|---|
| File Locations: | Key file locations, e.g. event files, events.cfg etc. |
| Liability Defaults: | Default settings for liability calculations. |
| Email Setup: | Site administration email addresses. |
| Display Options: | Search options, disable new registrations etc. |
| Shop Details: | Opening Times, confirmation settings etc. |
| Database Constants: | ODBC DSN Configuration. |
| GoNetBetty Email Settings: | Email addresses, email text etc. |
| Web Services: | Server Settings. |
You must log in with your personal username and password in order to make any changes to these settings. There are two levels of user which allow the web site administrator to restrict users from accessing vital site settings that would cause the site to fail.

- Windows 9x
- Windows NT
- Windows 2000 or above

Betty Web Administration uses the Codebase ODBC Drivers to access the BettyWeb information. These drivers are IP based and therefore, if Betty Web Administration is being installed on a machine other than a local network. The target machine must be able to communicate by TCP/IP with the machine storing the BettyWeb information.

Betty Web Administration ships with two types of installation routine.
- BWWSetup.msi (For Machines equipped with the MSI Installer)

Note: Where possible the BWWSetup.msi installation routine should be used. If the msi installer is not available then use the setup.exe routine.
The .Net Framework can be obtained from the Microsoft Windows Update Web Site.
Once installation is complete run the application.
