11.1 Web Server Deployment
Do not use a template.
The settings required:
- Deploy LANSA communications
The options required:
- Require Elevation Yes
- Setup Database No
- Install Web Administrator
- Install IIS Plugin
- Install Web Images
- Server Name (PSLU) set to the same name used by the Build environment (in L4W3SERV.CFG).
- Communications route created of the same name as the PSLU value.
- These server names must match so that the development environment configuration options are used, otherwise a new entry is created with default settings.
Web Server objects are non-LANSA objects such as cascading stylesheets, images, and scripts used to render the browser interface. They are all shipped simply by choosing to Install Web Images.
Automatically Configured Items
- Sets up the L4w3serv.cfg file. Note that HostRouteLuName is assigned from PSLU. There is not a specific MSI Property for this. This means that it is not necessary to run the Web Administrator to setup this file.
Manual tasks after Installation
- If IIS Plugin is already installed, the configuration of IIS will not be done.
Manual steps will be required to configure the existing plugin to use the MSI-installed app/server or to replace the plugin with the MSI-shipped version.
Note that uninstalling the existing Plugin before installing the MSI may be a simpler option, and then configure the plugin to use the existing app server.
