OfficeStatus Server requires a host website for two of its primary components: the web interface and the business logic web service. A single Internet Information Services (IIS) website (or virtual directory) will host both of these components.
During installation, OfficeStatus Server will display a drop-down box listing of all IIS websites available on the host server. On a fresh Windows Server installation, there will be only one IIS website available for selection - the "default" website. If you'd like to create a new IIS website specifically for OfficeStatus Server, do so within the IIS Management Console prior to OfficeStatus Server installation.
You will also have a choice of installing the OfficeStatus web components into the root of the selected website (e.g. http://your-website/) or in a new virtual directory (e.g. http://your-website/OfficeStatus). If you elect to install into the root of an existing website, make sure its not already used by another web application - OfficeStatus will re-configure the website root for its own use.
The website selection you make here will determine the URL that OfficeStatus Client installations will use to access the OfficeStatus Server.
