Configuring IIS

After successfully installing IIS, go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Services and Applications > Internet Information Services (IIS) > Machine Name > Sites > Default Website:

Windows 2003 server

Client Server: first step is to create a virtual directory called neosys liked to D:\neosys\neosys.net:

NL1 Server: Create a website called "clientname" liked to D:\hosts\clientfolder\neosys.net

File:Figure 1

File:Figure 2

In that folder > neosys > dll – change the Execute Permission to Scripts & Executables

File:Figure 3 (not created as we need to do the installation)

A new window will pop up "IP Address and Port Setting" after completion of the above step.

Client Server: select *(All Unassigned)* from the drop down list of "Enter the IP address to use for the Web site" and keep the default port as 80.

NL1 Server: Select the static Ip from the drop down list of "Enter the IP address to use for the Web site" and enter then next port available and click on next.

File:Figure 4

Client Server: Within the above neosys web site folder create a virtual directory called data linked to D:\neosys\data:

Nl1 Server: Within the above clientwebsite folder create a virtual directory called data linked to D:\hosts\clientfolder\data:

File:Figure 5

(I haven’t got the screenshot because I can only get it once I create the above)

To allow file uploads

Client server: create a folder IMAGES under D:\neosys and within the neosys web site folder create a virtual directory called images linked to D:\neosys\images:

Nl1 Server: create a folder IMAGES under D:\hosts\clientfolder and within the client web site folder create a virtual directory called images linked to D:\hosts\clientfolder\images:

Windows 2008 server

The first step is to create a virtual directory called neosys linked to D:\neosys\neosys.net:

In the IIS Default Web Site create a another virtual directory called neosys.w3c linked to D:\neosys\neosys.w3c (only if timesheets for mac is required):

To allow file uploads – create a folder IMAGES under D:\neosys and within the neosys web site folder create a virtual directory called images linked to D:\neosys\images:

After you add all virtual directories the tree map of the Default Website should look as follows:

To configure file uploads besides adding the images directory, go under IIS > Default Website > neosys – click on Handler Mappings and delete the ISAPI you see there:

Thereafter click on Add Script Map and fill in the details as follows – Request path: *.dll , Executable: D:\neosys\neosys.net\NEOSYS\dll\upload.dll , Name: ISAPI (once you click on OK click on YES to the confirmation box)
