INSTALLATION ASP DIRECTORY:

*Some source docs contain programmers comments where editable!

1) Upload the "directory" folder into the root directory.

2) In the inc folder, open connx.inc and edit the actual path to the
database (Database and File DSN are in db folder).
Do the same with connx.inc located in admin/inc folder.
Example:
ConnectionString = "c:websites1yourdomain.comdirectorydbclass.mdb;Driver={Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb)}"

3) After the database connectivity is established, comment error
section of both connx.inc docs per example:

Option Display Error Desc.
response.write "Error #=" & conn.errors(counter).number & "

"
response.write "Error desc. -> " & conn.errors(counter).description & "

"
Response.End

Option Redirect
Redirect user to an error page if there is a connetion error.
Response.Redirect("connerror.htm")
Response.End

4) To enter, edit, or delete listings or categories link to:
http://www.yourdomain/directory/admin/dirxyz.html

Users should make entries through the directory site, but neither are
available until you edit and choose to "show"

5) The navigation include can be changed from java applet to text by
editing the include on pages search.asp, adInsert.asp, adInsert2.asp,
adsearch.asp, wordsearch.asp and thanks1.asp to:
, look for the HTML comment.
The email address for the directory is edited in side.inc or
side2.inc located in folder "inc", depending on the chosen
navigation.
6) Create a link to directory/search.asp. There is a return link
to the default page in the root directory.
