CP-Air Web Server (standalone)

   

To enable secure external access to CP-Air, you can install the CP-Air web server on a dedicated system. Please read the Installation Notes.

 

 

1. Start the installation

Run the Setup.exe program from the [DVD]:\Setups\CP-Suite\CP-Air web server folder on the installation DVD, and select the language.

 

 

2. System prerequisites check

At the beginning of the installation, the system prerequisites will be checked, and all the required components will install automatically. You may need to restart the system following the Microsoft .NET installation.

 

 

3. Installation

You can install the CP-Air web server either as a Windows service or as an IIS (Internet Information Server) website.

 

 

Installation as a Windows service:

When you have specified the installation directory and access port, the Windows service will be set up as "CP-Air web server" with the following properties:

 

service account: Local System
startup type: manual

 

The Windows service will not start up automatically after the installation.

 

 

Installation as an IIS (Internet Information Server) website:

Please note:

A functioning and configured IIS is prerequisite for installation as an IIS website.

 

Simply specify an open access port for the CP-Air web server. After the installation, the IIS will contain a website named "CP-Air".

 

 

4. Configuration

After the installation, configure the connection to the application server (CP-Server). In the installation directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\Corporate Planning\CP-Air Webserver", open the configuration file appsettings.json. For the TargetUrl parameter, enter the address of the CP-Server.

 

Example:

"Settings": {"TargetUrl": "http://cpserver:8733/"}
