Specifying a virtual directory and ACT! database
When you installed ACT! Premium for Web Server, the installer created a virtual directory called act on your Web server. Users access ACT! Premium for Web using this virtual directory name appended to the URL of your Web server. For example, http://salesweb/act would be the name if salesweb is the Web server URL, and act is the virtual directory name. Using the following procedure, you assign one or more ACT! databases to this virtual directory, so that users will have a database to log on to when they access ACT! Premium for Web.
To specify a virtual directory and ACT! Premium for Web database
From the Virtual Server list, select the name of your Web server.
A list of virtual directories available on your Web server appears in the Virtual directories box.

|
The box displays only virtual directories that are associated with an ACT! Premium for Web Server installation. In most cases, there is only one. However, in environments where you are hosting multiple installations of ACT! Premium for Web Server, the list may have more than one virtual directory. For more information on configuring this type of environment see the Securing ACT! Premium for Web Server Environments chapter in the ACT! Premium for Web Server Administrator's Guide. |
In the Virtual directories box, select the virtual directory you want to configure.
Click Add, browse to the ACT! database you want to associate with your selected virtual directory, and then click OK.
You must have administrator rights in the ACT! database you add. If you are not currently logged on to the ACT! database you are adding, the administration tool prompts you to log on. Also, the database must not already be assigned to any virtual directory on your Web server.
