Manual Integration Of Timesheet 5.0 and IIS

Please Note: This document contains information for use with Timesheet 5.x only. For instructions on manually integrating Timesheet 4.x with IIS, please see this page.

Usually, Journyx Timesheet integration with IIS is automatically configured. On occasion, this is not the case and the IIS virtual directory must be manually configured. In this case, use the following instructions.

These instructions are valid for IIS 4 on Windows NT 4.0 and IIS 5 on Windows 2000 (Workstation or Server) and Windows XP Workstation. Because of service packs and minor variations in the interfaces on these different versions of Windows you may have to interpret the instructions slightly to fit the IIS interface on your computer.

Special note if you install in a custom location: If you did not install in the default directory, then you will need to change the paths listed in steps III.B.ii., IV.B.ii., and V.B.ii. from "C:\Program Files\Journyx\" to the path that you installed in. Please note that capitalization is important in this path name.

Also, if you installed in an alternate location, then you will need to change the paths listed in steps III.C.v. and IV.C.v. However this is slightly more complex because these fields in IIS use the DOS pathname instead of the long filenames. So, in these fields in IIS, "C:\Program Files\Journyx\" is altered to "C:\PROGRA~1\JOURNYX\". The capitalization change is intentional and important. For your custom installation directory you will need to determine the correct DOS pathname and use it instead of "C:\PROGRA~1\JOURNYX\" in those two steps.
