This section describes what to do if you decide to implement MainBossRemote as an application under an existing web site.

As noted in a previous section, you should have copied the MainBossRemote files to a subfolder under the folder used by the IIS web service. If you have not done so, do so now.

Start the IIS manager. In the left-hand panel of the IIS manager, expand the entry for the server computer, then click on Sites. Expand the entry for sites until you see the name of the web site under which you will put MainBossRemote.

In order to add MainBossRemote to this web site as an application, you must stop the web site (i.e. shut down the web site temporarily). To stop the web site, click on its entry in the left-hand panel of the IIS manager, then click Stop in the far right-hand panel.

Once you've stopped the web site, right-click on the web site's entry in the left-hand panel. In the resulting menu, click Add Application. This opens a window where you can specify information on MainBossRemote.

Once you have configured the web site, you can restart the web site. In the left-hand panel, click the entry for the web site that contains the MainBossRemote application. Then, in the far right-hand panel, click Start.
