How to: Specify the Location of a Speech Server Application

This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release.

As part of the application deployment process, you can specify the Web location and the physical location of the application with Speech Server. The Web location is the URL of the application start page. The physical location is the source directory that contains the application files. With Speech Server, you can specify both the physical location of the application files and the application URL to assist in configuring the Internet Information Service (IIS) virtual directory. If the URL is on the local Web server (that is, the URL is on the host called localhost), Speech Server can automatically configure the virtual directory to point to the specified physical directory as long as it is on the local computer running Speech Server or is a shared directory on an accessible remote computer. Speech Server cannot configure the virtual directory for remote Web servers because the permissions or connectivity might not be in place to do so.

For applications on localhost, changing the Web location or physical location automatically reconfigures IIS to use the newly specified information. For example, if you change the physical location, Speech Server reconfigures IIS to point to the new directory for application source files.

Note

In Speech Server, managed code (or assembly-based) voice response applications must be deployed to IIS on the computer running Speech Server. SALT voice response applications or VoiceXML applications can be deployed locally or on a remote Web server.

Specifying the Location of Applications

To specify the location of an application

  1. Open the Speech Server Administrator console.

    For more information, see How to: Start the Speech Server Administrator Console.

  2. In the console tree, expand the applicable group, and then click Applications.

  3. In the details pane, double-click the applicable application.

  4. To specify the Web location, type the URL of the application SPEAX file or start page in the URL or Start page box.

  5. In the Deployment Location box, type the path to the application files on the local computer or an accessible remote share.

    This setting is only available if you specified localhost in the URL or Start page box.

  6. Click OK.

    Note

    You can also specify the Web location and physical location of an application with a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) script. For more information, see the URI and PhysicalDirectory properties in Application Class.
