SUMMARY
This article describes how to create a new Web site for the SoftGrid Management Web Service.



MORE INFORMATION
When you install the SoftGrid Management Web Service, two virtual directories are created in the default Web site. These virtual directories are named SoftGridManagement and SoftGridReporting.

Other applications may modify the default Web site. Therefore, the SoftGrid Management Console may be unable to connect to the SoftGrid Management Web Service. You may have to move the virtual directories to a new Web site on the same server.

Create the SoftGrid Administration Web site
To create the SoftGrid Administration Web site, follow these steps from the SoftGrid Management Web Service server:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
 * 2) Expand , and then expand Web Sites.
 * 3) Right-click Web Sites, click New, and then click Web Site.
 * 4) In the Description box, type SoftGrid Administration, and then click Next.
 * 5) In the Enter the IP address to use for this Web site box, click the appropriate IP address.
 * 6) In the TCP port this Web site should use (Default: 80) box, type the appropriate port number.
