Running as an IIS Site

By default, SmarterStats installs a basic Web server that allows companies to start using the application immediately after installation. However, SmarterTools recommends moving to a more robust and secure Web server, such as Microsoft IIS. For step-by-step instructions on configuring SmarterStats to run with Microsoft IIS 7.0, please refer to the KB article How To - Set up SmarterStats as an IIS Site.

Alternatively, you may run SmarterStats as a virtual directory under an existing site. However, this is not recommended. For more information, please refer to the KB article How To - Set Up SmarterStats as a Virtual Directory Under an Existing IIS Site.

Note: This help topic assumes familiarity with Microsoft IIS and how it works. SmarterTools recommends using the basic Web server included with SmarterStats if you are unfamiliar with or uncomfortable using Microsoft IIS.
