Using IIS on separate server from OMERO installation

[ahar]

Hi,
Do the IIS instructions assume that IIS and OMERO are on the same server?
Is is feasible to have them on separate machines and if so how much extra work is involved?
No hurry for an answer to this - it's a job for next year I reckon.
Thanks

Hi Andrew,

the instructions do assume that the two are running on the same server, but there is nothing preventing using multiple machines. On each machine, you'll need to have the OMERO.server zip unpacked. Follow all the web install instructions on the IIS machine. The one extra step that you need is to set the entry for which OMERO server IIS should talk to. Under "Customising your OMERO.web installation", the example given (as a single line) is:

Code: Select all

$ bin/omero config set omero.web.server_list '[["prod.a.com", 4064, "prod"], ["dev.a.com", 4064, "dev"]]'


If you run this on the IIS machine, with a value of '[["your-server-here.net", 4064, "what-to-call-it"]]' then things should work as you expect.
