Introduction to the Windows Services Enabler To access the Windows Services Enabler, select "Site Builders" from the main menu, and select "Windows Services Enabler" from the Site Builders menu. The Windows Services Enabler allows you to use ASP, ASP.net, ColdFusion and ColdFusion MX files on your domain. Our system will process these files correctly only after you enable the appropriate service on your domain. If you have an SSL certificate installed on your domain, you can also enable secure services using the Windows Services Enabler. Top of Page Definition of ASP Microsoft Active Server Page (ASP) is a server-side scripting technology that can be used to create dynamic and interactive Web applications. An ASP page is an HTML page that contains server-side scripts that are processed by a web server before being sent to the user's browser. You can combine ASP with Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to create powerful interactive Web sites. ASP is a feature of the Microsoft Internet Information Server. Since the server-side script is building a regular HTML page, it can be served to almost any browser. An ASP file can be created by including a script written in VBScript or JScript in an HTML file. Top of Page Definition of ASP.net Microsoft's ASP.net is a server-side scripting technology that can be used to create dynamic and interactive Web applications. An ASP.net page is an HTML page that contains server-side scripts that are processed by a web server before being sent to the user's browser. You can combine ASP with Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to create powerful interactive Web sites. ASP.net coding is more "compact" than ASP code; the scripts required to perform a given function are shorter in ASP.net than they are in ASP. Since the server-side script is building a regular HTML page, it can be served to almost any browser. An ASP.net file can be created by using any text editing tool, such as notepad. Top of Page Definition of ColdFusion ColdFusion, developed by Allaire, is a complete Web application server for developing and delivering scalable e-business applications. The ColdFusion solution consists of two related packages: ColdFusion Studio - Tightly integrated with ColdFusion Server, ColdFusion Studio provides visual programming, database, and debugging tools for building sophisticated Web applications. ColdFusion Server - ColdFusion Server offers all the runtime services for delivering your e-business applications built on a highly scalable and open architecture. ColdFusion uses a tag-based, server scripting language that is ideal for programming Web applications. Processed entirely on the server, the ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) cleanly integrates with HTML for user interface and XML for data exchange. Both open and extensible, CFML supports more than 70 server-side tags, 200 functions, and 800 third-party components. In addition, ColdFusion supports Java and C++. Top of Page Definition of ColdFusion MX ColdFusion MX, developed by Macromedia, is a complete Web application server for developing and delivering scalable e-business applications. The ColdFusion MX solution consists of two related packages: ColdFusion MX Studio - Tightly integrated with ColdFusion MX Server, ColdFusion MX Studio provides visual programming, database, and debugging tools for building sophisticated Web applications. ColdFusion Server - ColdFusion MX Server offers all the runtime services for delivering your e-business applications built on a highly scalable and open architecture. ColdFusion uses a tag-based, server scripting language that is ideal for programming Web applications. Processed entirely on the server, the ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML) cleanly integrates with HTML for user interface and XML for data exchange. Both open and extensible, CFML supports more than 70 server-side tags, 200 functions, and 800 third-party components. In addition, ColfFusion MX is now available in versions which support J2EE application servers. Top of Page Enabling a standard service In order to enable a Windows service, place your ASP, ASP.net, ColdFusion, or ColdFusion MX files anywhere inside your website's public directory. Then open the Windows Services Enabler and select the appropriate tab. E.g.: if you have just uploaded ASP.net files to your public directory, then you need to look under the ASP.net tab to activate the service. Once you have selected the appropriate tab, you will find two checkboxes. If you have never used this service before, both checkboxes will have a red "X" in them. An "X" indicates the service is currently disabled, while a green checkmark indicates the service is active. To activate the service, click once on the checkbox the "Standard" service. To continue using the example above, in order to enable your ASP.net service, you would click once on the checkbox beside "Standard ASP.net". Once you have made a request to enable a service, it will be listed as "queued". A queued service will be listed as enabled as soon as the provisioning process has been completed. This process usually is completed after an hour, but may take as long as one business day. Please note: Because ColdFusion and ColdFusion MX files both use the ".cfm" extension, it is not possible to have both services enabled at the same time. You can run secure and standard services at the same time. For more information on running secure services, see Enabling a secure service. Top of Page Enabling a secure service To enable a secure service, you must first enable the standard version of this service. If you have not done this yet, please see Enabling a standard service. In order to enable a Windows secure service, place your ASP, ASP.net, ColdFusion, or ColdFusion MX files anywhere inside your website's "/secure" directory. Then open the Windows Services Enabler and select the appropriate tab. E.g.: if you have just uploaded ASP.net files to your secure directory, then you need to look under the ASP.net tab to activate the service. Once you have selected the appropriate tab, you will find two checkboxes. If you have never used this service before, both checkboxes will have a red "X" in them. An "X" indicates the service is currently disabled, while a green checkmark indicates the service is active. To activate the service, click once on the checkbox beside the "Secure" service. To continue using the example above, in order to enable your ASP.net secure service, you would click once on the checkbox beside "Secure (SSL) ASP.net". Once you have made a request to enable a service, it will be listed as "queued". A queued service will be listed as enabled as soon as the provisioning process has been completed. This process usually is completed after an hour, but may take as long as one business day. Please note: Because ColdFusion and ColdFusion MX files both use the ".cfm" extension, it is not possible to have both services enabled at the same time. You can run secure and standard services at the same time. For more information on running standard services, see Enabling a standard service. Top of Page Disabling a service To disable a service, simply go to that service's tab, click the "Disable this service" check box beside the standard and/or secure versions of the service, and click the "Apply" button. It may take up to one business day to deactivate the service. Please note: While a service is queued to be enabled, you will not be offered the option of disabling the service. Please note that although the service is immediately listed as disabled, it may take up to one business day to disable the service. During this period of time, the service will continue to run as usual. If you wish to immediately discontinue the service, you should remove the associated files from your website. For example, after disabling "Secure (SSL) ASP", remove all your ASP files from your "/secure" directory to immediately discontinue the service. Top of Page Windows Services file locations ASP, ASP.net, ColdFusion and ColdFusion MX files can be stored anywhere within a domain's "/public" directory for standard service, or "/secure" directory for secure (SSL) service. It does not matter if the files are in subdirectories. It is important that the files have the proper extensions. Top of Page Windows Services file extensions In order for the web server to correctly identify and parse ASP, ASP.net, ColdFusion and ColdFusion MX files, they should use the following extensions:
