Adaxes team,

Have a functioning WebUI with basic config for each Interface Type, on IIS 6 / Win2003R2. These Interfaces are all on non-default Site in IIS, this particular IIS Site is dedicated solely to Adaxes. (The server is using host headers to serve several small-load sites.)

Each Site's virtual directory is currently named "AdaxesXXX" i.e. "AdaxesAdmin," "AdaxesSelfService," "AdaxesHelpDesk."

I want to rename these VDirs to just "Admin," "SelfServ," "Helpdesk." Not sure how to go about this process. Tried to create a new Administrator Interface by copying from existing Administrator Interface, but when I named it "Admin" (on the same Adaxes IIS Site) I received the error: "A Web Interface with the specified name already exists." There are no other VDirs on this IIS Web Site (or any other Sites on this server) named "Admin". :?

Can I just F2 / Rename the VDir in IIS Manager? Or do I need to go through a special process to rename it so Adaxes "knows" about it?

Hello,

Yes, you can simply change the names of the IIS applications, however it cannot be done via the IIS Manager GUI. Actually, Microsoft does not provide an official way to rename an IIS application once it is created, however we've found the following method that proved to be working. To rename the web applications, perform the below actions on the computer where Adaxes Web Interface is installed:

  1. [Important!] Close the Web Interface Customization tool if it is launched.

  2. [Important!] Close the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manger if it is launched.

  3. Start Windows Command prompt. To do this:

    • Press Win+R.
    • Type cmd.
    • Press Enter.
  4. In the Command Prompt, type
    cd %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv

  5. Press Enter.

  6. Now, to rename the Web Interface for Administrators, for example, execute the following command:
    appcmd set app "Defaut Web Site/AdaxesAdmin" -path:/Admin
    where:

    • Defaut Web Site/AdaxesAdmin - is the path to the current Web Application that represents the Web interface for administrators (including the web site name);
    • Admin - is the new name of the Web Interface for administrators.
  7. Use the same approach to rename the rest of the web applications.

I have looked over the customization instructions for the web interface but I didn't see how to do this... Is is possible to replace the field names with something ... the field to display "Twitter Address" instead of Custom Attribute 1. Is this possible?
