Integrating Microsoft IIS with Connect Daily

This section covers integrating Connect Daily with Microsoft IIS. This is only necessary if the server is running other web sites that Connect Daily needs to integrate into. If the server is a single purpose server that will only run Connect Daily, these steps are not necessary. By default, Connect Daily 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 Connect Daily service.
3. Using Notepad, edit TCBase\conf\server.xml. Edit the connector port, change the port # from 8080 to 80.
4. Start the Connect Daily 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 Connect Daily into, follow the instructions below for your version of IIS.
