Integrating Microsoft IIS with connectDaily

This section covers integrating connectDaily with Microsoft IIS. This is only necessary if the server is running other web sites that connectDaily needs to integrate into. If the server is a single purpose server that will only run connectDaily, these steps are not necessary. By default, connectDaily installs the Apache Tomcat application server which has a built-in web service.

If you don't need to integrate with other web sites on the same server, you can follow these instructions to get tomcat to run on port 80 for http.

1. In Control Panel | Services, ensure that the World Wide Web Service is stopped, and the startup is set to manual.
2. Stop the connectDaily service.
3. Using Notepad, edit TCBase\conf\server.xml. Edit the connector port, change the port # from 8080 to 80.
4. Start the connectDaily service. You should now be able to access the calendar via: http://localhost/calendar/.
5. Optional - If you want to have the calendar answer to "http://hostname/" without "/hostname/calendar/", then rename the file TCBase\Conf\catalina\localhost\calendar.xml to ROOT.xml.

If you do have other web sites on the same server you need to integrate connectDaily into, follow the instructions below for your version of IIS.
