Hi Gary, You would be surprised at how little it matters, except in the case of IIS... The main part as you said is the scripting, but even that becomes very straightforward, possibly the toughest part is getting used to writing the DP Reports... If I were a Windows IIS hotshot I am sure it would work under that and in which case the commercial hoster would be easy to find. But the concepts on a standard alone cut down server are basically the same as on the commercial hoster, the DP reports and the web clients are identical it is mainly the scripts that have to adjust to the various paths of the various operating systems, and the method for launching DOS applications...
I will have a pilot for you soon, it will be a zip file with the DP application, the script and the TinyWeb server. Other than that all you will need is to download and install PERL, and perhaps install a few modules for which I will give you instructions. That way you can have a fully functioning system on your local machine to play with.

I assume what requires the effort and know-how and the details that I'm interested in is programming the CGI scripts to interact with DP and to take the CGI scripts and upload them to the localhost. I read your website info which is informative and well written on the online connection, but I'm assuming that a local web host differs in important details. Anyway creating Synthetic Transactions Logs with the CGI scripts is a lot easier when assisted. I installed a local web host previously but was not satisfied with the service. Probably a lack of experience. I have time, I'm taking this one slow and easy. I am looking forward to your docs. Have a nice weekend. I appreciate your help.- Gary _______________________________________________ Dataperf mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dataperfect.nl/mailman/listinfo/dataperf _______________________________________________ Dataperf mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dataperfect.nl/mailman/listinfo/dataperf
