Configuring the Server after Installation

Switching to Domain User Credentials on the Web TimeSheet Server
If Web TimeSheet and your SQL Server database are installed on separate machines, and you use Win-
dows authentication (trusted connection), you must use domain user account credentials rather than local
system account credentials on your server.
Local system credentials grant permissions on the local machine only and therefore do not allow Web
TimeSheet to access a database on another machine. Switching to domain user credentials allows Web
TimeSheet to connect to your database.
To switch to domain user credentials:
1. On your server, in the Windows Control Panel, select Administrative Tools > Services.
2. In the Services window, right-click on Web TimeSheet.
3. Select Properties. The Web TimeSheet Properties window displays.
4. Select the Log On tab.
5. Select the This account option and:
In theThis account field, enter the domain\username.
In thePassword field, enter the Windows password.
Confirm the password, if required.
6. Ensure the user has been added to the SQL Server group on the database machine.
Changing the IIS CGI Timeout
The default timeout setting when using CGI is 120 seconds. If you need to increase this value:
In Windows 2000, install and use the IIS Manager Snap-In.
In Windows Server 2003 and XP, use a metabase editing tool, such as the IIS 6.0 Resource Kits
IIS Metabase Explorer. from the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit.
In Windows Server 2008 and Vista, edit the value in IIS Manager.
Starting and Stopping the Web TimeSheet Service
Web TimeSheet runs as a Windows service. You may need to stop and restart this service when backing up
your database, applying a patch, making changes to the servers.ini file, or whenever cache must be read
and restored.
To start or stop the Web TimeSheet service:
1. In the Windows Control Panel, select Administrative Tools.
2. Double-click Services.
3. Select the Web TimeSheet entry to highlight it, and select Action in the menu bar.
4. Select Stop to stop the service, or Start to start it.
The Stop/Start status is shown in the Status column.
