Setting up the Web Application

Top  Previous  Next

1.  Under the "Tools" menu, click on "Web Server Setup Console".  If "Web Server Setup Console" does not appear under the "Tools" menu, you need to give yourself permission to view it.

 

WebServerSetupConsole_Express_Start

 

2.  If you haven't already, run the Web Server Prereqs.

 

3.  Click on "Setup Web Application".

 

4.  Select the version you'd like to install (or upgrade to).

 

WebApplicationSetup

 

5.  Click "OK".

 

6.  Click on "Close" on the "Web Server Setup Console".

 

WebServerSetupConsole_Express_Close

 

 

Note:

The "Setup Web Application" screen is designed to allow being run repeatedly without disrupting the availability of the Web service.  You would want to run "Setup Web Application" again later if you upgrade TntMPD.DataServer to a newer version.

 

Note:

The URL that leads to your web application will be your base URL + "/dataserver/" + the name of your database.  However if your database name starts with "dataserver_", than this portion will be removed.  So a database name of "dataserver_abc" would result in a URL of https://www.yourdomain.com/dataserver/abc, but a database name of "my_abc_database" would result in a URL of https://www.yourdomain.com/dataserver/my_abc_database.

 

Note:

SQL Server 2005 Express was used when creating the screenshots in this section.
