Bullseye Pro Installation

 

Installing Bullseye Pro


 

A folder containing all the Bullseye Pro files you need was created when you installed Bullseye Pro onto your local computer. By default, it is "C:\Program Files\EVI Bullseye Pro".  This folder will contain all

the files and sub-directories you need to install Bullseye Pro on your web site.

 

1. Uploading Files to web server or web site.

 

Using an ftp file transfer program such as "WS_FTP"

1) Create BullseyePro sub-directory under the root directory of your web server or web site

 

2) Transfer all files and sub-directories under: <Local Bullseye Pro Directory>\Web

to "BullseyePro" directory in step 1).

 

2. Transferring databases to web server or web site Create a directory on your web server or web site and call it database.

 

Upload the following files to "database" directory: <Local Bullseye Pro Directory>\database\

zipsearch.mdb

zipcodes.mdb

 

Depending on your Bullseye Pro region type, your zipcodes.mdb may be named codes.mdb or cancodes.mdb.

 

If your Bullseye Pro region type is US only, it is zipcodes.mdb.

If your Bullseye Pro region type is US and Canada, it is codes.mdb.

If your Bullseye Pro region type is Canada only, it is cancodes.mdb.

 

3.  Setting up a Data Source

 

You will need to contact your service provider and ask them to set up two data sources.  Tell them that the names of the databases in you database directory are zipsearch.mdb and, depending on your

Bullseye Pro region type, zipcodes.mdb, codes.mdb, or cancodes.mdb. This should only take your service provider a few minutes.  The data source for zipsearch.mdb must be "zipsearch" and the data source for any one of the three zipcodes databases (zipcodes.mdb, codes.mdb, or cancodes.mdb) is "zipcodes".

 

NOTE: some service providers will have their own directory structure setup and they will want you to put your databases in a specific place.  Be sure to coordinate with them so that you are uploading the database into the proper directory.

 

4. Testing the database.

 

Now you are ready to test the database.  We have pre-installed several records which will allow you to test the system and see if it's functioning right away.

 

Here's how:

 

Enter the following URL into your web browser.

http://www.your site.com/zsearch.asp.  

(your site.com should be the actual name of your domain.  For example, if your domain

name is yahoo.com you would type in http://www.yahoo.com/zsearch.asp)

 

This will load the page.  Once the page is loaded, you will see a locator. There will be an entry box for a zip code and another where you can specify the search radius. Enter one of the following practice zips in the text box. (08873 or 08901)  Click on search and you'll see a results page with five records on it.   Congratulations you've just done your first search.
