CruiseControl.NET : Installing the Web Dashboard
This page last changed on Apr 04, 2005 by mroberts.
 | Previous versions (0.8 and earlier) of the Dashboard required you to setup a projectcache folder with certain privileges. This is no longer necessary. If you have earlier versions of the Dashboard installer you should delete that folder and revert all custom privileges. |
Simple Installation
The simplest way to install the Web Dashboard is to use the CruiseControl.NET installer, as described in the Basic Installation section. This should setup everything, resulting in a Dashboard instance being viewable at the Virtual Directory /ccnet.If something goes wrong, or you want more control, read the next section
Self-managed installation
First, unzip the distribution as described in Basic Installation
Then, in your system's IIS Admin tool:- Map a virtual directory to the 'webdashboard' subfolder of your CCNet folder (typically called ccnet)
- In the configuration for this virtual directory, click the Configuration button of the Virtual Directory tab
- Click Add to add a new Application Mapping
- In Executable, enter the location of the aspnet_isapi.dll file you use (look at the .aspx mapping as an example. A typical value would be c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_isapi.dll)
- In Extension, enter .xml
- Make sure Script engine is checked and Check that file exists is not checked
- Click OK as necessary to save your changes
- Under the Virtual Directory's Documents tab make sure that default.aspx is added as a default document
| If you don't apply all these steps some features of the Dashboard will not work. |
