HOWTO: Setting up Remote Storage for Electronic Delivery Documents
January 5, 2006
SUMMARY
By default, the Electronic Delivery documents are stored in the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\illiad\pdf folder (or if you change the web root, the pdf folder is located inside the folder designated by the WebPath customization key). If you want to store these files in a different location, you have to make several changes.
SETUP
To use this option:
- Set the RemotePDFStorage key in the Customization Manager to "Yes".
- Set the WebPDFPath key to the location where the PDF files are stored on the Server (i.e. D:\pdf\ ).
- The ElecDelPath key should be set to the \\servername\sharename that maps to the path defined in the WebPDFPath key above.
Since the PDF documents are stored in a folder outside of the path of the Default Web Site (\inetpub\wwwroot\) a virtual directory will need to be created to point the ILLiad web pages to the location where the PDF documents are stored when the patron is accessing them. Here are steps to create the virtual directory:
- Open Internet Information Services (IIS) and right click on the web site that contains the ILLiad web pages, select "Create Virtual Directory".
- Name the alias "PDF" and set the directory path to the same path that was set in WebPDFPath. Accept the default access permissions (should include Read Only).
