Installing WCAT on the Server Computer

The following procedures install the WCAT server application and files on the server computer. The WCAT server files include the prepared test content files the server sends in response to clients requests during standard WCAT tests.

There are two steps to installing the WCAT server application:

1.Determining where the Internet Information Server Home and Scripts directories are located on your server.

2.Installing the WCAT server files in the Home and Scripts directories.

Determining the Location of the Home and Scripts Directories

To install WCAT on the server computer, you need to install files to the directories designated as Home and Scripts in your installation of Internet Information Server. Therefore, the first step in installing the WCAT server application is to determine where the Home and Scripts directories for Internet Information Server are located on your server.

The following are the default Home and Scripts directories for Internet Information Server.

Default Home directory C:\InetPub\Wwwroot
Default Scripts directory C:\InetPub\Scripts

To determine the Home and Scripts directories for your server

1.On the server computer, start Internet Service Manager.

2.Open the WWW Service Properties dialog box.

  1. Click the Directories tab.

    The Home directory is identified by <Home> in the Alias column. The Scripts directory is identified by /Scripts in the Alias column. The following figure shows the Home and Scripts directories in the WWW Service Properties dialog box.

    Figure 2 Home and Scripts directories in the WWW Service Properties dialog box

Installing the WCAT Server Files

After you have determined where the Home and Scripts directories are located, you can install the WCAT server files to these directories.

To install WCAT on the server computer

1.Click Start, select Programs, and click Command Prompt.

2.At the command prompt for drive C, type cd websrvr to go to the C:\Websrvr directory.

3.At the command prompt, type server to extract the server program and prepared content files.

4.Type install HomeDirectory ScriptsDirectory where HomeDirectory is the full path to the Home directory for your server and ScriptsDirectory is the full path to the Scripts directory for your server.

This command extracts and installs approximately 211 MB of simulated content files into the specified directories.

5.Type net share websrvr=c:\websrvr.

This command shares the \Websrvr directory so the controller and client computers can connect to it.
