Install and configure Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)

• Install Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) either manually using the Windows Server Manager “Add roles and features” or installingFotoWeb which will automatically install IIS and all required features. We advise installing manually to allow IIS to be prepared before installing FotoWeb. Note that all versions of FotoWeb since Feature Release 15 already use IIS for the internal configuration server, so when updating from one of these versions, IIS should already be installed and in use.
• In IIS Manager, create a distinct website for each individual FotoWeb site. The “Default Web Site” can be used for one site but if there are multiple FotoWeb sites it is necessary to create additional web sites for each of them in IIS.
• HTTPS bindings and SSL certificates must be configured manually in the IIS settings for each website.
• If there are any problems with setting up IIS, then the folder C:\ProgramData\Fotoware\FotoWeb\Operations\IIS should contain diagnostic information. Please attach the entire contents of this folder when submitting a support request related to IIS, as well as all the Fotoware log files.

Start the FotoWeb Update Wizard to change the web server from Apache to IIS for each FotoWeb site.

• When installing FotoWeb, the FotoWeb Update Wizard will automatically start when FotoWeb finishes installing. Otherwise, you can manually start the FotoWeb Update Wizard using the following commands.
