New Installation

Create a WebKIDSS folder.
Download and unstuff the Macintosh WebKIDSS program into the WebKIDSS folder. Note that the program now consists of two files: KIDSSIEP.4DC and KIDSSIEP.RSR. These are the same names as the files for Windows.
Download and unstuff the Web folder. Put this Web folder inside the WebKIDSS folder.
Download and unstuff the Mac4DX folder. Put this Web folder inside the WebKIDSS folder.
Start 4D and open KIDSSIEP.4DC.
Specify 'New' when asked to open a data file. Specify 'KIDSSIEP.4DD' for the name of the data file.
Logon on as Administrator.
A dialog will appear asking what the Web Port Number should be. Enter the port number you will be using for the WebKIDSS program.
After the program has started, create a Super Admin user.
Quit, and restart as a webserver. Use a userid of 'Webserver' and a password of 'Kansas'.

Upgrading to 4D v2004.x from a previous version of 4D (e.g., v2003.x)

First of all, make a backup of your existing datafile if you are converting from a previous version of 4D.

Note that there is no 4D Customizer for 4D v2004.x. The port number is now set by the user directly. Also, Memory Cache size is preset and cannot be altered. It is set at 32MB.

Create a new WebKIDSS folder for this new version.
Download and unstuff the Macintosh WebKIDSS program. Note that the program now consists of two files: KIDSSIEP.4DC and KIDSSIEP.RSR. These are the same names as the files for Windows. Put these two files into the new WebKIDSS folder.
Download and unstuff the Web folder. Put this Web folder inside the new WebKIDSS folder.
Download and unstuff the Mac4DX folder. Put this Web folder inside the new WebKIDSS folder.
Your data file must be converted. After you have the two WebKIDSS program files, then you must run the 4D Tools. Make sure you have the 4D v2004.x of the Tools.

Open the 4D Tools.
Specify opening the KIDSSIEP.4DC file (compiled database).
Use 'Administrator' as the userid. Hold down the Option key while clicking the Open button to pull up the Open dialog for the data file.
Specify opening your existing KIDSSIEP.data data file.
Click on the 'Maintain' tab at the top of the window.
Click the 'Compact' button near the bottom of the window.
Specify a new datafile name of 'KIDSSIEP.4DD'.
After compacting is completed, you may Quit the Tools.
Your new converted data will consist of two files: KIDSSIEP.4DD and KIDSSIEP.4DR. Make sure these two files are in the new WebKIDSS folder.

Start 4D and open KIDSSIEP.4DC.
The first time this version is started, a dialog will appear asking what the Web Port Number should be. Enter the port number you will be using for the WebKIDSS program.
