Environment
Web Deployment Preparation
Cause
This process requires you to adjust two parameters in the Citect.ini file:
When the project is compiled and prepared for deployment, it is placed directly on the Web Server.
*Warning: Take backups of any files prior to modifying them. Ensure the backups are in a location that will not be overwritten (i.e. the Desktop).
Resolution
1. Adjust the [WebServer]DeployRoot parameter within the Citect.ini file. This parameter represents the directory where the deployment will be located on the WebServer.
The citect.ini can be accessed from the citect explorer > tools > computer setup editor.If you have set up an IIS-based Web Server, the default location will be the Deploy directory within the installed directories.
For example: [WebServer] DeployRoot=C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Citect\deploy
Note: When setting the [WebServer]DeployRoot ini parameter, the path needs to contain "deploy" as the last subfolder name, otherwise the deployment will be unsuccessful. Use a mapped drive instead of a UNC address if deploying to a network destination from a Windows 2000 system. Do not map a drive directly to the deployment location, as the path needs to finish with a "deploy" subfolder.
2. Adjust the [WebServer]WebClientCab parameter within the Citect.ini file. This parameter represents the directory path and client component to use when a deployment is run, in relation to the installed Client directory.
For example: [webserver]WebClientCab=720/PowerSCADA ExpertWebClient_7_0_176.cab
Note: When creating the web deployment preparation using a browser, the web client cab file can be selected to a different cab file.
3. Save the citect.ini and rerun the web deployment preparation.
