Check status (web)
The quickest way to check that IIS is running correctly for EpiHandy is to:
- Open a web-browser (on the computer where the server is installed).
- Type the following URL: http:\\localhost\EPI\sscesa20.dll
- The resulting webpage should show:
SQL Server CE Server Agent
To do the same test from another computer you may use DNS name or IP number instead of local host in the example above.
- If your computer name is: EPIHANDYSERVER, then use:
http:\\EPIHANDYSERVER\EPI\sscesa20.dll - If your IP number is: 199.188.177.166, then use:
http:\\199.188.177.166\EPI\sscesa20.dll
To find your IP number do the following on the server
- Start -> Run
- Type cmd and hit Enter or OK
- Type ipconfig
- From the list look for the IP number listed under the network adapter used to connect to the server
To find DNS name of the server do the following on the server:
- Start -> Rigth click My Computer -> Select Properties
- Click on Computer Name tab
- Click on Change, which then gives the current DNS name of this computer.
- Click on Cancel to not change name.
Check Status (Control Panel)
You may check IIS status also through :
- Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Internet Information Services
- Expand the Computer node (listed with your computer name)
- Expand Web Sites node (click on + symbol)
- Expand Default Web Site node
- Click on Default Web Site node
- On the Menu bar on the top, there are 3 buttons (Start, Stop and Pause)
- If IIS is not running, the Start button will be black, and the two others, grey.
- To start IIS simply click on the start button.
Check Status (Services)
