To deploy Jef to your web server you will need either file or FTP access to the root folder of the ASP.NET web application on the web server.
If your web server is local, you will generally be able to copy the web application file to the web server via the network file system.
If your website is hosted by a third party, generally you will be given an FTP path and FTP logon details to use to copy files to the website. You need to enter these details into Jef Setup so it can copy the web application files to your web server.
|
The directory is the location where the website files are installed. Examples include /happen.biz/web or /httpdocs. |
Database Connection String
You need to enter the DB connection string for the web server database to be used by Jef. Clicking on the ellipsis [...] allows you to enter the parameters in a user friendly manner.
The details required for the connection string will either be supplied by your ISP if website is hosted, or you will know the details from setting up your SQL database in preparation for deploying Jef.
|
If you have been provided a server instance name, you will need to enter this when asked. If you have not been given this by your provider, please leave blank. |
Jes Connectivity
Jef needs connectivity with Jes for certain tasks, such as retrieving a user's list of jobs. Jef connects to Jes using TCP/IP, so you must specify the address (either DNS Name or IP address).
|
This is the IP or DNS of your internal network. You will also need to have a port forwarded from your firewall to the machine with Jes (the default port is 5740). |
Website URL
This is the URL to the root of the Jef web application, ie. the web address of the website your are about to deploy. This URL is used by Jef Setup to verify the deployment was successful at the end of the setup process.
For example:
▪If Jef is to be deployed to the root of your website as the main application, the URL would be like: http://yourcompany.com
▪If Jef is to be deployed to a subdirectory of you website as a secondary application the URL would be like: http://yourcompany.com/subdirectory
