CHAPTER 6
Configuring the Server after Installation
Understanding the Available Server Configurations
Web TimeSheet supports the following configurations for the server:
•
Internal web server
•
IIS web server using ISAPI
•
IIS web server using CGI
See Appendix A, Glossary on page 49 for information on these terms.
When installing the full version, you can choose which web server you want to use. If you choose IIS, ISAPI
will be used by default. If you are upgrading a version installed prior to 8.2, CGI is used for IIS web server
installations. The trial version uses the internal web server.
You can change the configuration after installation, including:
•
If you are using the internal web server, you can switch to IIS (with ISAPI) following the details
given in Switching from the Internal Web Server to an IIS Server on page 34.
•
If you installed a previous version of Web TimeSheet using IIS, you can switch from CGI to ISAPI
following the steps outlined in Switching from CGI to ISAPI on page 41.
Determining which Configuration is in Use
To determine which of the above configurations is in use, you can check the format of the Web TimeSheet,
as explained in Understanding the Web TimeSheet Website URL on page 46. Alternately, you can check
the rtserver.ini file on the Web TimeSheet server as follows:
1. Open the rtserver.ini file, which is typically found in C:\Program Files\Replicon
Inc\Web TimeSheet\APP.
2. Locate the line starting with preload.
3. If the next line:
•
Starts with cgivirtualpath, an IIS web server is in use.
•
Is [Reception], the internal web server is in use.
4. If IIS is in use, check the last section of the cgivirtualpath line. If the line ends with:
•
rt.exe/, CGI is in use with IIS.
•
rt.dll/, ISAPI is in use with IIS.
Accessing the IIS Manager
To access the IIS Manager, which is used to configure settings for the Web TimeSheet IIS web server:
1. Open the Windows Control Panel.
2. Select Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services.
