Set Up Store and Admin Site

Setting up your own webstore requires that you have access to the Microsoft Internet Information Services, Microsoft SQL Management Studio, and a complete installation of Connected Business with the stand-alone Connected App Config 13. Once you have these, your web store can be set up easily.

1. From the Windows Start Menu, key in IIS in the search bar to display the shortcut for the Microsoft Internet Information Services.

   Select the IIS Manager to open the Internet Information Services configuration window.

   
   
   
2. From the IIS Manager, Select the default webstore (in this case, IIS), then click on Advanced Settings.

3. The previous step brings out the Advanced Settings window. Select the approriate Application Pool, that has been previously set up for your webstore. In this case, it's CBE.
   

   Make sure the Physical Path field is set to the web files of your webstore in your server (for the example, our webstore is hosted locally so the path name is set to a local computer path name). Click OK to save your changes.

   
   
   
4. Next, go to Connected Business and from the eCommerce > Web Store.
   
   You will be prompted to select a webstore from the ensuing list of available webstores (initially you will only have one webstore in the list, which will also be the default webstore).
