Using Alternate Web Servers to Publish Reports

NOTE: The following still works as described, but should not be needed with version 3.6 and newer since the file references within the reports are all relative

By default, the links within the reports will be in the form https://<server>:<port>/... where

If you wish to have the reports available via a different means (perhaps you want to publish them on your intranet), you can configure them to use a different root URL that will work with your other web server, be it IIS, Apache or otherwise.

To use a different root URL, follow the steps below:

1. Either go to Settings and point the Reporting directory to a different place, or point your WWW server at the Reporting directory. For example, with IIS you would create a Virtual Directory (named ServerReports for example) that points at C:\Program Files\PA Server Monitor\Reports

2. Go to the main registry key for the product:
   
   For PA File Sight: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PAFileSight
   For PA Server Monitor: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PAServerMonitor
   For PA Storage Monitor: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PAStorageMonitor
   
   and add a String value named:
   

   HTTP_URL_OVERRIDE

   IMPORTANT: Make SURE there are no spaces in the name of that value

   The value that you place there will replace the "https://<server>:<port>/" root that is used on internal report URLs.

   For instance, if you created the Virtual Directory above, you would set the value to
   HTTP_URL_OVERRIDE = "https://web_server_name/ServerReports/"
