Computer Apps 1

this curriculum was purchased by the high school for use in

  • 9th grade academy - Sturdivant
  • 9th grade Computer Apps - Blackwell
the curriculum was purchased from [[here] Two Springdale teachers...
It is for MS Office 2003. the purchased software included web pages to link to "Thomson" Curriculum.
Skip created a DNS entry "http://bized.almasd.net --> 10.0.0.247 for simplicity.

Skip initially created a virtual machine on vmhost.

  • Windows 2003 server
  • ran the install from m&k. yielding a set of files at c:\CAStudentFiles & CATeacherFiles

and c:\mandk\castudent web on port 80 and c:\mandk\cateacher web on port 8281


this install (interestingly) used MIT's open source web server SHTTPD. these were not Winservices, 
so they had to be shortcuts in startup. this meant a user (us) had to login for the web content to be served. 
then, Cory sent changes to a page, the calendar, and Skip realized how crappy that situation was. so
  1. Installed IIS, FP Ext 2002, SharePoint
  2. copied webs to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\.....
  3. set up IIS to serve the student content on port 80
  4. and the teacher content on port 8281
Front Page Extensions 2002 (including Sharepoint)
NOTE: there is no inherant security, only obscurity!!!

these folders have sub folders for a front page constructed (yick) web site pointing to all the curriculum and a calendar.

ultimately, Front Page (Expressions - Web) complained that server extensions were not installed, 
so Skip modded the pages in question, saved to Desktop, then copied it back into the web folder.
