| 3. What do u need in order to run fullxml? |
In order to get fullxml running you need the following things :
- Any windows version above V3.1 - a Web server, IIS (MS Internet Information server) or PWS (MS personal web server, also included on Windows 98 SE cd rom) ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library) , IIS (included in Win2000 & NT and for download go to http://www.microsoft.com/ )
- MSXML 4 (Microsoft XML core engine ) http://download.microsoft.com/download/xml/Install/4.0/W98NT42KMeXP/EN-US/msxml4.msi)
- Windows Installer v2.0 (OPTIONAL) This needs to be installed only if your windows installer isnt latest because MSXML need V2 of installer to install since distribution of MSXML is in .MSI format ( http://www.microsoft.com/download/ )
[ NOTE ] about PWS and Windows Millenium:
MS is not recomending installing PWS on Windows Millenium Edition because after installing it there can be some problems with system after that so be aware of this and rather use IIS on Windows ME. No need for PWS on Windows 2000 and NT since it comes with IIS. We founded few user responses on this issue and it seem like for some users there was no problems and for some there were excatly what MS stated.
1. Its very easy to setup fullxml if u have all the software needed so lets assume u have web server already set up either IIS or PWS.
2. Install MSXML . If u get an error saying windows installer cant install it than u must download INSTMSI (windows installer) and update your current installer version, you can download it from here : http://www.microsoft.com/download/ . Beware that there are two diffrent versions of it, one for WIN9X and one for WIN2K and NT. Choose the correct one for your system. Your system must be restarted and than u can install MSXML.
3. Unzip fullxml into your web root folder. Usually it is C:INETPUBWWWROOT
[ NOTE ] :
- For users with NTFS, you must give the "write" permission to the "db", "media", folders. Click right button on that folder click properties and choose permissions. To increase security you can also remove the "read" permission to the "database" folder, you can do this in same way as before or in the Internet Service Manager.
After that, open your browser and browse to http://localhost/, your website will appear...
What u now see is default site and its ready for heavy customization by you. On the left margin there is and Authorization form in wich you can login as administrator with folowing info:
login : full
password : xml
After logging in be sure to change admin pasword in SETTINGS MENU.

- [ The data being processed is over the allowed limit ]
Request object, ASP 0107 (0x80020005) The data being processed is over the allowed limit. /Engine/CFullXMLEngine.asp, line 265
If this message pops up it is because each form field is limited to 102,399 bytes. You can read more about it here : http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN;q273482
So it seems that's there is solution to bypass this limit, it will be tested soon...
- [Microsoft VBScript runtime error ActiveX component can't create object: 'JMail.Message' ]
Error Type: msxml4.dll (0x80020009) Microsoft VBScript runtime error ActiveX component can't create object: 'JMail.Message' line = 33, col = 3 (line is offset from the start of the script block). Error returned from property or method call. /fullxml/Engine/CFullXMLEngine.asp, line 785
If u get this error, u didnt install JMAIL component (view components section) but u turned on ALERT options on guestbook, newsgroups...etc.. In settings menu in admin console disable Alerts option or install JMAIL component to not get this error and use this nice option.
