Setting Up the Website on App Server/Web Server for Unified Search

In order for the Google Mini search appliance to crawl through data made available for Unified Search, you need to set up a website accessible by Google Mini. This can be on the App Server, Web Server, or any other web server accessible from Google Mini appliance.

 

The URL for this website can be SubDomain.AssociationDomainName.Suffix/ [Top_Level_Folder_Name]

·            Suffix can be .com or .org or .net or any other top level domain name.

·            Top_Level_Folder_Name is user-defined.

·            The URL for the default document should be based on the following format: http:// SubDomain.AssociationDomainName.Suffix/[ Top_Level_Folder_Name]/ default.html

·            No external access to this website is required.

To set up the website for Unified Search:

1.    Using IIS Manager, make sure your Application Pool is under the .Net 4.0 Framework in Integrated Mode.

2.    Navigate to the UnifiedSearch folder on your server and open the “Personify.UnifiedSearch.Website” folder.
This folder contains a script that, when ran, creates a website named “PersonifyUnifiedSearch” on your Web Server that hosts the Personify ASPX Home Pages.

·            If you want to modify this website and folder name, open Personify.UnifiedSearch.SetParameters.xml in a text editor and modify the red text below in the code:

<setParameter name="IIS Web Application Name" value="Default Web

Site/PersonifyUnifiedSearch" />

·            Save and close the file.

If you decide to modify the website and folder name, make sure you do not modify it to a name that already exists in your . . . /innetpub/wwwroot folder.

If you have previously tried to apply the Personify Unified Search and therefore already have a Personify Unified Search folder that exists in your . . . /innetpub/wwwroot folder, make sure to delete this folder before proceeding.

3.    Using MSDeploy, run the Personify.UnifiedSearch.deploy script.
If you do not have MSDeploy installed on your computer, please see the following website for instructions on Web Deploy installation: http://go.microsoft.com/ ?linkid=9278654.

4.    When complete, the script should have created the PersonifyHomePage folder.
Navigate to the following file path on your Web Server and verify the website and folder creation:
.../innetpub/wwwroot/PersonifyUnifiedSearch

If you modified the website and folder name, it should appear with your changes.

5.    Make sure your IIS User has FULL privileges to this folder.

6.    Record the URL for this newly created website.
For example, http://[your web server name]/PersonifyUnifiedSearch/
