Installation

We are now ready to prepare IIS for EventSentry. The main things needed are the World Wide Web Service and Active Server Pages. Please note that "Active Server Pages" and "ASP.NET" are two different things. EventSentry does not currently use the .NET framework.

For Server 2003:

Go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs. Once in there, click on "Add/Remove Windows Components" over on the left. Double click on "Application Server" to open the details. Next, double click on "Internet Information Services (IIS)". Scroll down to the bottom of those details, and check the "World Wide Web Service" box to select it. You will now also have to double click it to go into its details as well. At the top you will need to check "Active Server Pages".

Click OK to all the open windows to get back to the "Windows Components Wizard". Click on the Next button to begin installing the new components. We are now ready to start the EventSentry install!

For Server 2008:

Go to Administrative Tools -> Server Manager. Go to the "Roles" section, and click "Add Roles". Choose the "Web Server (IIS)" role and click "Next >". When you get to the "Role services" section, check the box for "ASP". Please note, this is not the same as "ASP.NET".

Click "Next >" and it may tell you additional role services are required. Click "Add Required Role Services" to continue, then "Next >" , then "Install". Once it is done, click "Close" and you are ready to install EventSentry.
