Publish to an IIS Web Site
HelpStudio can publish directly to any IIS Web Site that has the Web Deploy service installed and configured.
Installing Web Deploy on an IIS Server
Web Deploy can be installed on an IIS Server using the Microsoft Web Platform Installer.
You can find more information on installing and configuring Web Deploy here: http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/web-deploy
Creating a Web Deploy Publishing Target for an IIS Web Site
- In the HelpStudio Build Profile Editor, select the Publishing page.
- Click the New
toolbar button.
- On the displayed New Publishing Target dialog, choose the IIS Server (Web Deploy) option.
- A new Web Deploy Publishing Target is created and opened for edit.
- Complete the Connection and Login fields with the values for your IIS Server. If you do not manage your web site yourself, contact your web administrator for the required values.
The Target URL field is the URL at which the content is located once it has been deployed. This setting is not required for successful publishing, but it allows the publishing results to show a convenient link to open the published content once the publishing is complete.
Only specify the root URL and not the landing page - i.e. http://myhost.mydomain.com/ and not http://myhost.mydomain.com/webframe.html.
