It is always recommend to read through all instructions first before proceeding.
1. First step:
Confirm again before anything that you can run the AyaNova program itself successfully on the WBI server and on local networked computers connecting to the networked AyaNova database first before proceeding.
If any issues at this point, they must be resolved before proceeding with WBI.
2. Second step - testing WBI at the IIS server:
a. Open up a web browser on the WBI server itself
b. Enter in the path http://localhost/AyaNovaWBI5/login.aspx if you have not specified a port or http://localhost:XXXX/AyaNovaWBI5/login.aspx where XXXX is the TCP Port number of your Default Web Site on this WBI server if you have specified a port other than the default of 80
(TCP Port determined from step 2 of WBI Server Configuration)
c. you can bring up the WBI login screen
d. Confirm you can log in using a valid AyaNova User username and password
e. If the WBI login screen does not display, enter in this local computer's IP address instead of localhost, in the event localhost is disabled on this computer.
(Local area connection IP address determined from step 3 of WBI Server Configuration)
For example, if the local area IP address is 192.168.1.100 and the TCP Port number of your Default Web Site of IIS is 9632, you would enter in the URL address line in the web browser on the WBI server itself http://192.168.1.100:9632/AyaNovaWBI/login.aspx
f. If the WBI login screen does not display, you need to double-check your previous Prior Requirements, Installation, and Configuration steps
3. Test third on a local network computer:
a. Open up a web browser on a computer on the same internal network as the WBI server
b. Enter in the path http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:XXXX/AyaNovaWBI5/login.aspx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the internal local area connection IP address of the WBI server and XXXX is the TCP Port number of the Default Web Site on the WBI server
(Local area connection IP address determined from step 3 of WBI Server Configuration)
c. If the WBI login screen does not display, but it did in the first two tests above, you may be entering an incorrect local IP address for the WBI server; or the WBI server's operating system may have a firewall enabled that is preventing access.
For example, if I installed WBI to a computer on my network that has an internal IP address of 192.168.1.100, and the TCP Port of the Default Web Site on this computer is 9632, I would enter in http://192.168.1.100:9632/AyaNovaWBI/login.aspx as the URL address.
4. Test fourth via a remote Internet connection:
a. On a remote computer that is connected to the Internet, open up a compatible web browser
b. Enter in the path http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:XXXX/AyaNovaWBI/login.aspx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your router and XXXX is the forward port you have configured on your router (which is also the same as the TCP Port number of the Default Web Site on the WBI server)
For example, if the router's static IP address is 222.333.777.12 and the forwarded port configured for the IP address 192.168.1.100 that I set up in the router's configuration is (and that is also the TCP Port for the Default Web Site) is 9632, I would enter http://222.333.777.12:9632/AyaNovaWBI/login.aspx into the web browser URL address.
c. If the WBI login screen does not display, but it did in the first three tests above, you may not have configured your router correctly. Review and edit your configuration - don't forget to reset after.
5. Additional config.txt settings
The following is additional rights settings you may want to set so that external users can not view the contents of the config.txt file
1. Open the IIS Manager
2. Right-click on config.txt that is within the bin folder of the AyaNovaWBI5 site
3. Select Properties
4. Un-check the Read right, and save.
