Overview -> Setup
A Handy Address Book Server installs just like any Windows application.
Download the setup program from the download page,
and run it on your server to complete the installation.After installation,
start
A Handy Address Book Server by selecting "Start / All Programs / Handy
Address Book Server / Handy Address Book Server". If there are no port
conflicts you will see the GUI appear as shown in this
screen shot.
If you are running any web server (like IIS or Apache) on this same server,
you will want to change the port that Handy uses, so it will not conflict with
this other server. To do this, select "Administration... / Settings..."
from the GUI. Here you can select the port, as shown in this
screen shot. A good alternative
port number is 8080. After changing the port, select the "Start Server"
button.
A Handy Address Book Server comes with no pre-defined users, and
permissions are set wide open, so this will probably be one of the first things
you will want to set up. See the "Installation Administration" page to
define new users, and set their initial permission level for new address books.
Data Folder:
By default Handy Server stores the address book data on the server at:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AHABS
Use the "/data" command line argument when starting Handy Server to change
this. For example:
ahabs.exe /data "C:\Data\HServer" |
