Install Program

1. Create a directory off of your main web site.  This directory will house the Ban Man Pro™ software so give it a familiar name such as "banmanpro".  For example, if your domain name is http://www.yourdomain.com, you might create a directory called http://www.yourdomain.com/banman
   
   This directory must be made an Application Starting Point so that Ban Man Pro can use it's own Global.asa file.  Click here for instructions on creating an application starting point.
   
   Make sure on the ASP.NET tab that you have selected .net 4.0.
   
   
   
2. Unzip Ban Man Pro™ into this directory.  Ban Man Pro™ includes several sub-directories.   You must maintain this directory structure and include the sub-directories.   DO NOT PLACE A COPY OF OUR ZIP FILE ANYWHERE ON YOUR WEB SITE.
   
3. Set the database connection in the web.config file.  The variable is called DBConnectionString.
   
   <add key="DBConnectionString" value="server=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX;UID=BanManPro;PWD=yourpassword;DATABASE=BanManPro" />
   
   Server=The IP Address or physical server name of the SQL server
   UID=The Username you assigned to the database.  The default username is BanManPro
   PWD=The password you assigned to the database
   DATABASE=The name of the database.  The default is BanManPro
   
4. In order to use the file upload utility, you must give the Users account WRITE permissions on the imgs folder.  Also, in order for Ban Man Pro to write charting images you must give the same permissions on the "ChartImages" folder.   Click here for directions on setting write permissions.
   
5. Open the application in your browser (http://www.yourdomain.com/banmanpro/admin/default.aspx) and set the preferences and change the administrative name and password.  The username and password are currently set to Admin1/Admin1.
