Using a Non-Default Web Site

You can run SmartSync Server on a non-default web site after installing it to the default web site. Use the following procedure to set up additional SmartSync Server instances that are accessed under a different URL and use different folders to store files.

Prerequisites

Complete the IIS server configuration and the SmartSync Server installation.

Procedure

1. Open Administrative Tools | IIS Manager.

2. In the Connections pane, click computer name | Sites.
3. On the Actions pane, click Add Web Site.

4. Complete the following fields:

   • Site name
   • Physical path (Location for the site folder. Click to browse for, and create, a folder.)
   • Type, IP address and Port.
   • Host name (Type in the name of the server.)

   

5. If applicable: Create a new folder (e.g. SmartSync1) and copy all of the files from inetpub\webroot\SmartSync except web.config into it.

6. On the Connections pane, right click on the new site and click Add Application. We recommend creating a new Application pool for the non-default site. If you are running the non-default site parallel to the default site, the new Application pool should be identical to CaseWareAppPool.

   

   Click OK to add the SmartSync application.

7. Select the new application and double click on the Handler Mapping icon in the center pane.

8. On the Actions pane, click Add Script Map.

9. Type the following (items in bold will vary):

   • Request path: *.sync
   • Executable: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\new web site folder\SmartSync.dll
   • Name: user defined

   

10. Click Request Restrictions and clear Invoke handler only if request is mapped to. Click OK.

11. Click OK to close Add Script Map. On the confirmation message, click Yes.
12. Select the new application and double click on the Request Filtering icon in the center pane.
13. On the Actions pane, click Deny File Name Extension.

14. Enter .dll in the Deny File Name Extension dialog.

15. Select the new application and double click on the Configuration Editor icon in the center pane.

16. Add a key named Files with the value set to the location of the SmartSync Files folder (e.g. C:\Sync Files Folder\). This is the SmartSync folder specified during the SSS installation.

Results

The non-default web site has been initialized. The following procedures in this section and under SmartSync Server Post-Installation Configuration also need to be applied to the non-default web site for the set up to be complete.
