When you run the RMS install program, you are asked if you would like to create the default web shares. If you chose No, the web shares will need to be created manually.
To create the web shares manually, you will need to either:
Create a virtual directory that is assigned to a sub-directory of a web site (i.e., the Default Web Site)
Once you have created a virtual web directory or Web site you will need to:
These directories can then be shared to provide entry points to the RMS. For example, if your web site URL is example.com you might want to access the RMS as follows:
http://example.com/rms/ or http://example.com
For these web entry point to function you must tell the web server that the web share name (virtual directory name) or the web site maps onto the directory in which you have installed the RMS web service.
To create a Virtual Directory for RMS:
Open the Internet Information Service (IIS) console
Right click on the Default Web Site
Select Virtual Directory from the New sub menu and follow the wizard
Enter an alias for the Virtual Directory. This will be referenced in the URL used to access the RMS
Click Browse to locate the path for the Virtual Directory. This will be the folder where the RMS Web service is installed
Default location is C:\Program Files\Questionmark\RMS\Web
Place a check mark in the Read and Run scripts (such as ASP) check boxes
Continue the steps in the wizard until it is finished
Right click the Virtual directory you created and select Properties
Select the ASP.NET tab
Select 2.0.5xxxx from the ASP.NET drop-down list
Click OK to save the changes
A new Virtual Directory has been created, you will need to create the correct default content page. For further instructions refer to Applying the default content pages.
To create a Virtual Web site for RMS:
Open the Internet Information Service (IIS) console
Right click on the Default Web Site and select Stop
Right click on the Web Sites folder and select Web Site from the New sub menu and follow the wizard
Enter a description for the Web site
Enter the IP address or leave as All Unassigned (depending on your network setup) and set the Port if necessary
|
|
Port settings can be used if you are running more than one Web site on a single server and you want to keep the URLs similar. For example, using port 81 will create an RMS url with the following syntax: http://example.com:81/ This will point to a different web site than the http://example.com/ URL. If you are going to use ports you can start the Default Web Site once you have completed these steps |
Click Browse to locate the path for the Web site. This will be the folder where the RMS Web service is installed
Default location is C:\Program Files\Questionmark\RMS\Web
Place a check mark in the Read and Run scripts (such as ASP) check boxes
Continue the steps in the wizard until it is finished
A new Web site has been created, you will need to assign an application pool to it and create the correct default content page. For further instructions refer to Assigning application pools and setting the .NET Framework to version 2.0 and Applying the default content pages.
The RMS uses the .NET 2.0 Framework. If you are using other services on your web server that use the .NET 1.1 Framework (i.e., Perception) you will need to configure a separate application pool and assign it to the Web site or Virtual directory to use it.
To create an application pool:
Open the Internet Information Service (IIS) console
Right click on the Application Pools folder and select Application Pool from the New sub menu
Insert an ID for the application pool
Select the use default settings for new application pool option
Click OK to create the application pool
Right click the Web site or the Virtual directory created earlier and select Properties
Select the Home Directory Tab
Select the application pool you created from the Application Pool drop-down list
Select the ASP.NET tab
Select 2.0.5xxxx from the ASP.NET drop-down list
Click OK to save the changes
The default content pages are used to automatically load the correct web page when a URL is types in to a browser. To select the correct content page for RMS:
Open the Internet Information Service (IIS) console
Right click the Web site or the Virtual directory you created earlier and select Properties
Select the Documents tab
Ensure a check mark is placed in the Enable default content page check box
Click Add...
Insert LoginPage.aspx into the Default content page text box and click OK
Click OK to save the changes
