There are three steps in setting up Windows XP Professional after you have unzipped YVS500 software into some directory.

Enable web sharing for YVS500

Make sure the database directory has the correct read/write permissions

Updating YVS500 Configuration file shop$config.asp

Enabling Web Sharing for the YVS500 folder

Right click on the folder that contains the YVS500 Shopping cart files and select properties then click on the “Web Sharing” tab on the top part of the dialog box.

If there is no “Web Sharing” tab then IIS is not installed on your machine, you can install IIS from your Windows XP Professional cd-rom.

Setting the Alias

Click on “Share this folder” then a dialog box will appear

Enter in the desired alias for the shopping cart by typing it in the “Alias” text box.

The alias will be the location of the shopping cart as people will see it from the web.

Eg. If the alias is “yvs500” then the URL of the Shopping Cart will be http://127.0.0.1/yvs500

or try

http://localhost/yvs500

For your local PC

Click ok on the Edit Alias dialog box.

Click ok on the folder properties box.

The install is completed.
