How to Unpack a Site on the Web Servers

This topic provides steps for unpacking your site on the production Web servers in a Web farm after you have unpacked the site on the business management server in the data domain. For information about unpacking a Web site package on the business management server, see How to Unpack a Site on the Business Management Server.

When you unpack the Web site on additional Web servers, you are adding Web servers to an existing Commerce Server Web site. You can add these resources by using Site Packager and the Custom unpack option, or by using Commerce Server Manager, which calls the Site Packager tool. For information about how to use Commerce Server Manager to add Web servers to an application, see How to Add a Web Server to an Application.

Note

Before you unpack any Commerce Server package, verify that you are logged on as a member of the Administrators group.

Note

If you cancel the unpacking process, Commerce Server may not delete the databases that you created during the unpacking process.

To unpack your site on the production Web servers

  1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Commerce Server 2009 , point to Tools, and then click Site Packages.

  2. On the Welcome to Commerce Server Site Packager page, select Unpack from a package file (.pup), and then click Next.

  3. On the Unpack page, click Browse and locate the package file to unpack. Select Custom unpack, and then click Next.

  12. Repeat steps 1 through 11 on each additional Web server in the Web tier.

  13. After unpacking the site, perform the following security tasks for each Web server:

    • Set access permissions to help secure files and folders.

    • Create application pools and make assignments to the Internet Information Services (IIS) Worker Process group.

    • Authorize users and groups to access the Web services.

    • Enable Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) on each Web server.
