	Download & install Jellyfish tutorial environment for Windows NT® or 98

0 Before you start

You will need a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 98 computer which is connected to the internet using EtherNet or similar.

You will also need some basic software on your computer in order to acquire and unpack the files. If you do not have a Zip file extractor on your computer, click here.

1 Download and install O'Reilly WebSite 1.1e (about 5Mb)

Instructions for installing and testing WebSite 1.1e are provided in the Zip file.

These instructions will assume that you have installed WebSite on your C: drive. If you do not have room on your C: drive then you can use any other drive but there are some additional steps in this case (more later).

2 Download the Jelly98Core.zip file (About 12Mb)

You will need to pass a security check.

3 Unzip the Jelly98Core.zip file

When the file Jelly98Core.zip is extracted you should see a new directory on your hard disc called TEMP. Inside this directory you should see some more new directories:

• cgi-temp
• cgi-win
• htdocs
• Jellyfish
• JellyfishClient

4 Move Jellyfish files to the right places:

Please follow these instructions carefully. When the instructions say "move the contents" of a directory you really do need to open the directory and move only the contents, that is, all the things in the directory. If you move the whole directory you will inadvertently delete important files.

Let's assume that you installed WebSite on your C: drive and that you are also installing Jellyfish on your C: drive. It is possible to install either component on any other drive but there are additional steps (more later).

• put the contents of c:\TEMP\cgi-temp\ into c:\WebSite1.1\cgi-temp\
• put the contents of c:\TEMP\cgi-win\ into c:\WebSite1.1\cgi-win\
• put the contents of c:\TEMP\htdocs\ into c:\WebSite1.1\htdocs\
• move the directory c:\TEMP\Jellyfish\ to c:\Jellyfish
• put the directory c:\TEMP\JellyfishClient\ into c:\WebSite1.1\java\applets\

Once you have emptied the directories

• c:\TEMP\cgi-temp
• c:\TEMP\cgi-win
• c:\TEMP\htdocs

Feel free to delete them.

If you encounter any problems with your new Jellyfish environment, have a look at these pictures of correct directory structures:

• The task tree
• The WebSite directory

5 Read this section if you installed anything on any hard disc other than C:

If you installed everything on your C: drive then it should all simply work since all the internal references are set up for drive C:.

• open the file WebSite\cgi-temp\jellyfish.ini using NotePad (it may appear as simply "jellyfish" or it may be invisible depending on the setting of your NT Explorer. You need to set the View Preference to NOT "hide file extensions for known types" i.e. you want to be able to see all the files and file extensions.
• change the text in the file jellyfish.ini to match wherever you put the Jellyfish\task and Jellyfish\user directories.
• open the file Jellyfish\task\codebase.html using NotePad and edit it to match wherever you put the JellyfishClient\Questions2 directory.

Note: WebSite allows something called "file mappings" which can make you miserable if you don't understand them. You might want to read the WebSite documentation about this. In particular note that the word "java" tends to be mapped to a particular directory within the WebSite directory. If your copy of WebSite is doing this then it may affect what you should have in the codebase.html file. If the java applets in the Jellyfish environment do not appear because they cannot be found, this is almost certainly the problem.

6 Test your new Jellyfish server

• Make sure WebSite is running. Usually there is a "cog" icon visible in the Task bar when WebSite is running although it is possible to set it up to run only in the background. You can test WebSite by pointing a Web browser at http://[your server address]/ - you should see the WebSite welcome page.
• Now try to log in to your local Jellyfish system. Use your web browser to go to
  http://[your server address]/login.html
  You should see a large friendly picture of a Jellyfish and some fields to type your user name into. Don't get too excited - this in itself does not prove your Jellyfish is working.
• Enter user name "admin" and leave the password field blank. Press the Login button.
• If all is well you will be welcomed into your new system.

7 Download course material

The Jellyfish98Core.zip file contains only the core of the system files. You should probably download one or more courses. They are not included in the Core because they are quite large files which you may not actually want. Click here to read about and download the courses.
