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.
