Hi,

I need to make some changes to directory permissions within an application directory tree post install. Idealy this would be using the useraccount generated for the application by DNP. I have asp.net code that can make the security changes but am unsure of how to hook the function into the commands section. Obviously I need to have processed the files before making any changes to the directories i have generated. Also how would i extract the security account in question.

- edited - I have found a way of making these changes with cscript. Is there a way to fire a cscript within the commands chain?

Thanks

Hi,

You might consider to use task event handlers mechanism on the Enterprise Server's side in order to attache to the process of installing a web application pack. Here is the article in our online KB describing what it takes to deal with event handlers: http://help.dotnetpanel.com/DotNetPanel%20Developers/Implementing%20Enterprise%20Server%20Task%20Event%20Handler.aspx (at the page bottom there is an example with source code attached).

Install App Pack Task Name is INSTALL_APPLICATION (task source name is APP_INSTALLER).

Hope this helps.

I'm a little confused regardingwhere the application packages should be uploaded to for them to appear in theDNP list of available packs.

There are these two locations that are referenced:

[portal_install_folder]\desktopmodules\dotnetpanel

ES\WebApplicaiton

Can someone clarify for me which directory should be used in what circumstances?

Also, once the poackage is uploaded to the directory, is anything else required or should DNP just immediately recognise it?

 Thanks!   Steve.
