TrackStudio 3.0 Documentation
IIS Integration

In this section we describe how to integrate TrackStudio with Internet Information Server.

TrackStudio can be configured so that when you reference the virtual folder IIS (e.g. /TrackStudio), the query redirects you to TrackStudio. Such configuration can be useful in case you want to permit access to TrackStudio via the existing Internet Information Server. 

To redirect the queries: 

1. Start the ISS administration software (Start -> Programs -> Administrative Files -> Internet Information Services). 

 

2. Create the virtual TrackStudio folder for one of the web sites, e.g. for the Default Web Site (Action -> New -> Virtual Directory). Specify the <TRACKSTUDIO_HOME> path as a local path to the virtual folder. Allow the Execute permission. 

3.Add the filter with to the selected web site (Default Web Site -> Properties -> ISAPI Filter -> Add...). Select the <TRACKSTUDIO_HOME>\lib\isapi_redirector2.dll file as executable. 

 

4. Define the trackstudio.siteURL (in the trackstudio.properties file) as http://<IIS server>/TrackStudio 

5. Execute install4iis.js 

6. Restart Internet Information Server. 

7. Restart TrackStudio Enterprise. 

8. Now TrackStudio will be available as http://<IIS server>/TrackStudio

It is very important to start the IIS and TrackStudio in the proper order -- first start IIS and then start TrackStudio. When starting TrackStudio you can see the warning message informing you that the specified port is not available, ignore it.
