Way to make web-accessable DHPOS
Posted: Thu May 19, 2005 8:48 am
Ok, I was just browsing the web when I suddenly got this great idea!
First, you either install PWS or ISS (from Microsoft, comes on OS disk) or Apache web server (somewhere on apache.org). Then you set DHPOS to run on a network and set the file directory to wherever your webserver is (for PWS and ISS, usually C:\Inetpub (not the online directory)) and then you put your files there and you could then do something like use ASP or possibly even javascript to build a way to check up on sales and stuff online! It's a pretty long process and I'm not sure what the purpose of viewing sales online is (though it could help while your on vaction
) but hey, It's there and it should work!
