- If you would like to run the Forms inMotion server in a separate web site or application pool. Those should be configured prior to running the Forms inMotion Web Server Setup.exe.
- Run the Forms inMotion Web Server Setup.exe
The default install location is c:\inetpub\wwwroot\FiMServer. This means that the deployed web service will reside at http://<YOUR SERVER>/FIMServer/FormsServiceJSON.asmx. Make sure that if you change this default location you note that difference in subsequent documents.
- The remainder of this section will be configured using Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. To access this utility in windows, you can:
- Go to Start --> Run --> inetmgr. Press return
- You can also find this under Server Manager in Windows server installations by clicking Tools --> Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
Expand all of the collapsed trees including the server name, "Sites", "Default Web Site"
Info title Default Web Site Just like the default folder mentioned above. The default IIS configuration will create a single "Default Web Site" listening at port 80. This setup may not be appropriate for all environments.
If you don't already see the folder created by the installer in Step 2 the right click the Default Web Site and select refresh
Select the folder FIMServer by left-clicking, THEN right-click to access the advanced menu.
Select Convert to Application from the site's advanced menu
Warning title Enable 32-bit Application Pool Be sure that your chosen Application Pool has Enable 32-bit Applications is set to True.
OPTIONAL: At this point you may choose to use a custom Application pool or the Default. To use a custom Application Pool, make sure you create it prior to executing this step
Info title A note about application pools An Application Pool is a separate worker process apart from the main or Default one. This allows IIS Applications to be run with separate permissions from other applications on the same server. It is fine to run the Forms inMotion IIS Application in the DefaultAppPoolunless you are going to write the output of a particular FormsPackage somewhere other than the IIS Server. If this is the case, the Application Pool will need to be configured with permission to write to your chosen location. IIS Configuration is outside the scope of this document.
Warning title Enable 32-bit Application Pool Be sure that your chosen Application Pool has Enable 32-bit Applications is set to True.
Click on OK to complete the conversion from Virtual Directory to IIS Application
- At this point, you can test that your application is working correctly by opening a browser and pointing to your new server location. http://<YOUR SERVER>/FIMServer/FormsServiceJSON.asmx. is the address from this example.
This is IIS' default display for a webservice. Now we need to connect up a few things to complete the install.
