The Distribution Package

You can contact our support team to get the Control Panel for your Windows server. This distribution package represents the Hosted_<version>.zip file and contains the compiled application.

Deploying the Control Panel

To deploy this application:

Unzip the archive to a new IIS folder.
In IIS Manager, create an application pool with the NetworkService identity.
Create an Application (if you want to put it to a folder of your main site) or Add a website to the Sites list associated with this folder (if you want to deploy this app on a separate domain).
Set up the AppPool that you have created for this application/site.

For detailed instructions, you can refer to the topic about Deploying Applications to Windows Servers.

Running the Control Panel

Let us assume that your Control Panel shares a domain name with the main website and is located in the /CP/ virtual folder. To run this application, navigate to https://example.com/cp/ in your browser.
