WebSpeed
Installation and
Configuration Guide


Installing the Messenger Executable

The WebSpeed Messenger must reside on the same machine as your Web server. The Messenger executables are tailored to run with a specific type of Web server. WebSpeed provides a Messenger executable that supports the Web server types described in Table 8–1.

Table 8–1: UNIX WebSpeed Messengers 
Web Server Type
Messenger Executable
NSAPI (Netscape)
wsnsa.dll 
CGI-compatible
cgiip 

When you installed WebSpeed, you provided information about your Web server. If you selected CGI, the installation utility installed the CGI Messenger script, wspd_cgi.sh, into the directory you specified as your Web server scripts directory. The NSAPI and CGI Messenger executables reside and run from the Progress install-path/bin directory.

NOTE: You must restart the Netscape NSAPI Web server after installing and configuring the Messenger.

Compatibility With the Web Server Type and Operating System

The Messenger executable comes with the WebSpeed Transaction Server product. You install the Transaction Server on the machine where you want to run the broker and agents.

If you purchased a WebSpeed Transaction Server for an operating system that is different from the operating system that runs your Web server, go to the Download area on Progress Technical Support’s Web site at http://www.progress.com/services/support/ and download a compatible Messenger. This is necessary because you must install a Messenger that is compatible with the Web server’s operating system. For example, if your Web server is CGI-compatible and runs on Windows NT 4.0, you must install a Messenger for a CGI-compatible Web server that can run on NT.
