Configuring the Server after Installation

Manually Configuring Internet Information Services (IIS)
If you choose to use an Internet Information Services (IIS) server, Web TimeSheet requires Internet Infor-
mation Services (IIS) to be installed and configured on your computer. When you select the IIS web server
option during installation, Web TimeSheet will automatically configure that server correctly. You can, how-
ever, choose to configure the IIS web server yourself once installation is complete. In this case, you would
have to elect to use the Web TimeSheet Web Server during the installation process.
To configure IIS, you must:
1. Set up a relay in IIS, if using Windows Server 2003.
2. Create the Web TimeSheet website.
3. Create virtual directories.
4. Restart the Web TimeSheet service.
5. Provide HTML access to Web TimeSheet.
6. Configure IIS application pools.
These procedures are described below.
Setting up IIS on Windows Server 2003
When IIS is first installed on Windows Server 2003, it is locked down (that is, only request handling for static
web pages is enabled). Before you create the virtual directories for Web TimeSheet, you must enable the
Web TimeSheet relay.
To enable the Web TimeSheet CGI relay in Windows Server 2003:
1. Run the IIS Manager.
2. In IIS Manager, select the Web Service Extensions folder.
3. In the details pane, click Add a new Web service extension.
4. In the Extension name box, enter a name for the new extension, for example Web TimeSheet ex-
tension.
5. Select Add.
In the Required files box, enter (or browse to) the path for rt.dll, as follows:
C:\Program Files\Replicon Inc\Web TimeSheet\cgi\rt.dll
Additional steps are required if you choose to change from using the internal web server to using an
IIS server, as detailed in Switching from the Internal Web Server to an IIS Server on page 34.
You must be a member of the administrator group to perform the following procedures.
