Web Administration - How To

Configure the CommServe Computer for Web Administration

Before you Begin:

This procedure is not required if the CommServe computer was configured for web administration during the software installation.

To configure the CommServe Computer for web administration:

Logon to the CommServe computer as an Administrator or a member of the Administrator's group.
Install the stand-alone CommCell Console software on the CommServe computer.
- If IIS is already installed and running during the CommCell Console software installation, then the software installation will provide the necessary options to configure web administration. The web configuration process will be complete once the software installation completes.
- If IIS is not already installed and running during the CommCell Console software installation, run the InstallGalaxyWeb.exe utility (from the the Resource Pack) after the CommCell Console software installation is complete. (See Tools and Utilities for more information.)

The CommServe computer is now configured for web administration.

Before you Begin:

If you are configuring the CommCell Console to launch Books Online from an intranet site, the computer hosting the intranet site must have Internet Information Service (IIS) installed and enabled.
