Installing PhonePad on a Server

Top  Previous  Next

These instructions are for installing PhonePad directly onto your server (not a Host PC).

 

 

An Important Thing to Remember About Network Drives

 

A network drive is actually a server's local drive/local folder that has been mapped to a shared drive/folder.  

 

For example, say the server has a D: drive and you install all network applications in a folder called D:\Network.  Workstations can't directly access a local drive on the server, so they wouldn't be able to access D:\Network directly.  To get around this, we make D:\Network a shared folder and on the workstation map (in this case) the Z: drive letter to that folder.  Workstations would access D:\Network as Z:\, or they may access the folder as a UNC path (eg. \\MyServer\PhonePad).

 

So in this scenario PhonePad is installed in D:\Network\PhonePad, and users on their workstations access it as Z:\PhonePad.
