Bizagi Server Configuration: Windows 8.1 or Windows 8
Overview
Bizagi processes require a web server for execution. Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is supported as the web server for running Bizagi processes on a .NET platform, as detailed in the IIS configuration section.
When using Bizagi Studio, ensure that IIS is installed and configured before creating a new project.
Note:
- Windows 8.1 includes IIS version 8.5.
- Windows 8 includes IIS version 8.0.
- This installation may not be included by default in these operating systems.
Installing IIS and its Components
To install IIS and activate the required components, follow these steps:
- Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features and click on Turn Windows features on or off.
- Ensure that the checkboxes for the required IIS components are marked. Some checkboxes are pre-marked by default and must remain unchanged as part of the required configuration.
- Click OK to complete the configuration. The process may take a minute or two, and a reboot of the machine might be required.
Verifying IIS and the Default Web Site
After installing IIS, verify that the Default Web site is available to create Bizagi projects:
- Open IIS Manager by typing
inetmgr
or by accessing Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager from the Administrative Tools folder (Control Panel > System and Security). - In IIS Manager, ensure that the Default Web site is listed under Sites and is in a started status.
At this point, IIS is correctly configured, and you are ready to create new Bizagi projects.
