Changing Timesheet's port in IIS
Changing Timesheet's port in IIS is a simple matter. Just open the IIS Management program and edit the website properties. Here you can change the port on the site that Journyx is currently using, or create a new site on the new port if so desired.
Once you have done this, rerun the rerun the Web Server database setup script for Timesheet again from the Start menu choice titled Setup Web Server or Database in the Journyx Timesheet folder and Timesheet should begin working on the new port. If you have more than one IIS site to choose from you will be asked which site you would liek to use.
Installing Timesheet On Windows 2003 Small Business Server
Some of our users have reported problems when installing Timesheet on a Windows 2003 Small Business Server (SBS) host. These users have encountered an error stating that Timesheet cannot be installed because ASP is not installed on their host machine even though Windows 2003 SBS is supposed to install ASP by default. This problem results from a bug within Windows 2003 SBS where the initial installation of the OS installs IIS and ASP and SharePoint in full but the registry key that tells the other software applications that ASP is installed does not get set.
The following workaround will allow you to address this issue and install Timesheet successfully.
- Backup your registry as you will be making a change to it.
- Once you get your Registry backed up you can then find the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\
CurrentVersion\\Setup\\OC Manager\\Subcomponents - On this key, locate the following this entry:
iis_asp - By default the
iis_asp keywill be set to0(zero). Change the zero value to1(one).
Once this is done you can rerun the Web Server database setup script for Timesheet again from the Start menu choice titled Setup Web Server or Database in the Journyx Timesheet folder.
If you uninstalled Timesheet, simply run the installer again after you reboot the host machine. When Timesheet performs its web server and DB setup this time you will not receive the previous error and installation should proceed smoothly.
