Running EPWeb as a Service
|
|
||
| 1. | EPWeb is a web application that functions as its own web server, which accepts and responds to http requests via a specified port. Because of this, it can be deployed on a non-webserver computer (i.e. a computer not running IIS). This computer must be assigned a static IP and preferably have its own domain name (e.g. abc-events.com). |
| 2. | EPWeb can also be installed on an existing web server, i.e. a computer running IIS with an assigned static IP and domain name, but must be set to run on a port other than port 80, which would be in use by IIS. |
| 3. | Individuals wishing to use EPWeb would then access the EPWeb server as follows: |
| a. | www.abc-events.com (if the port is set to 80) |
| b. | www.abc-events.com:8080 (if the port is set to 8080) |
| c. | http://203.183.198.25:8080 (if there is no domain name assigned to the IP and the port is set to 8080) |
