Hi folks,
I'm afraid I'll probably be hitting you up allot for a wee while. Take
comfort that I do bookmark things and I am also documenting the process
of installing this Helpdesk as I go.
I'm trying to prep the environment on my machine for nService. I've got
lost in SQL land, so I'll come back to that in a bit. By reading the
docs it looks like I basically install nSevice as a website and run it
from my machine. To do this I found out I need to enable IIS, done.
I've also copied the nService files into C:\Inetpub. I've been
exploring IIS's control panel and added the path to the Helpdesk files.
When I click on Test I'm getting the following,
"The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a
built-in account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS
Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access. Make sure
that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path.
If this server is joined to a domain, and the application pool identity
is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that <domain>\$
has Read access to the physical path. Then test these settings again."
Looking online it now seems I'm being told that I need to create a
Windows Account for IIS, and provide this Read Access to the path.

This then re-directs me to the following Microsoft article for IIS v6,
which I'm told should work for v7.

on Windows 7, is there something different about our user account
creation because we're on a domain? For example, when I hit up User
Accounts on my workstation, and click on, Add. I'm asked for the
username of the account I wish to create and the domain. I put in the
domain name that I'm connected to and click OK. I'm then presented
with, "The user CLANMIL.LOCAL.NET\nService could not be granted Standard
user access because CLANMIL.LOCAL.NET\nService does not exist.".
Further on from this once I've the user account created for IIS, how can
I edit what it has read access to? Is this just the permissions under
the Security tab for the C:\Inetpub folder? Ad it int here?
Cheers,
Barry.
