Launch the Profit Site Deployment tool for a web server

You configure the IIS on the specified web server(s) using the Profit Site Deployment tool. You can use this tool to update the IIS configuration with the settings you entered in Profit for the Domain, Virtual Path and Web server.

After adding the site you can start the Profit Site Deployment tool as an Administrator (with at least local administration privileges).

You have just added a domain, configured the virtual path and added a site. Using the Profit Site Deployment tool, you link the IIS to the path of the domain and then of the virtual directory.

To start the Profit Site Deployment tool:

1. On the server on which Profit is installed, go to ..\Program files (x86)\Profit\AFAS Windows\Kernel\Profit Site Deployment.
2. Copy the Profit Site Deployment folder to the web server. This is necessary because the web server cannot retrieve information from the application server.

   

   You can also create a share of the Profit Site Deployment folder and access it from the web server.

3. Right-click on the Profit Site Deployment tool.
4. Click on:Run as administrator.
5. Click on: Configure Websites (InSite & OutSite).
6. Select the Communiceren via Profit Application Services check box.
7. In Profit application services URL, enter the address of the Profit Application Service (in our example that is https:\\servername.enyoi.nl/PAS).
8. Next, enter the Username and Password you have just entered during the installation of the Profit Application Service.

   If you are using a proxy server between the web server and the application server, set that up here by selecting the Proxy gebruiken om verbinding te maken field.

9. Click on: OK.
10. If necessary, select the web server by using the Kiezen... button.

    This tells IIS which domain is being used for the website and allows IIS to determine where and on which web server the site is/will be published.

11. Select (under Sites) the non-linked site.
12. Click on:Link site....
13. Click on: the correct site (usually Default Web Site).

    The Profit Site Deployment tool only adds the InSite website to the default website.

14. Select the Web Application(s).

    If there are multiple Web applications you want to install, select them by holding down the CTRL key.

15. Click on:(Re)install.

    This action installs the virtual paths that are present. If the installation was successful, you will see a check mark for these virtual paths.

16. Click on: Close.
17. Click on: Close.
