IC_CE_Pro installation overview Windows (IIS)

Installing IC+CE_Pro on a Windows Server (IIS):

System Requirements:

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 or above
  • IIS Version: 7.5 or above

Step 1. Download and unzip the IC_CE_Pro product files

The IC_CE_Pro product files consist of a number of HTML files, which are located in the “top” folder and a series of supporting files and programs located in sub-folders underneath the “top” folder.

Please Note : To avoid errors, the relative path structure for all HTML and support files must be maintained.

Step 2. Create the IC_CE Pro configuration files

To make it easier to install any future feature updates or bug fixes, the IC_CE_Pro product configuration files are shipped with the prefix of “example.”

This means that if (or when) an updated set of product files is installed, any customer specific configuration information will not be overwritten. However, this means you will have to rename or copy and rename the “example.” files.

The list of required product configuration files is shown below. You can simply rename them or make a copy and then rename the copies.

Rename (or copy and rename) the following files:

  • .\example.web.config
  • .\config\example.config.xml

To :

  • .\web.config
  • .\config\config.xml

Step 3. Edit the IC_CE Pro configuration files

You will now need to go through the configuration files and make the following changes (The text highlighted in red MUST be modified, the text highlighted in blue is optional):

Config file 1

.\web.config

  • <add key=”encryptionKey” value=”XXXXXX” />
  • <add key=”AccountID” value=”YY” />

Where

‘XXXXXX’ = customer API encryption key supplied by Flaxlands Consulting Ltd

‘YY‘ = Interview Coordinator AccountID value supplied by Flaxlands Consulting Ltd

Config file 2

.\config\config.xml

  • <xmlFilePath>http://<IC-server-Domain.com>/Content/XML/YY/ AA </xmlFilePath>
  • <Bootstrap_server>http://BBBBB</Bootstrap_server>
  • <AccountId>YY</AccountId>
  • <ScreeningInstructionsMessage1>Cand-Authorisation-message</ScreeningInstructionsMessage1>
  • <ScreeningInstructionsMessage2>Screening-Questions-help-message1</ScreeningInstructionsMessage2>
  • <ScreeningInstructionsMessage3>Screening-Questions-help-message2</ScreeningInstructionsMessage3>
  • <ScreeningConfirmationMessage4>Cand-apply-confirmation-message</ScreeningConfirmationMessage4>
  • <favicon>favicon.png</favicon>
  • <MainSite>http://<CustomerMainSite.com></MainSite>
  • <HelpPage>http://interviewcoordinator.com/help</HelpPage>
  • <EmailId>email_address_for_feedback@domain.com</EmailId>

Where

‘Interview_Coordinator_server_name.com’ = The Interview Coordinator server domain from which your interview Coordinator account is server. For example : app.interviewcoordinator.com

‘YY’ = Your Interview Coordinator AccountID value supplied by Flaxlands Consulting Ltd

‘AA’ = The name of the XML file created when posting jobs from Interview Coordinator to the “INHOUSE” job board. This file name uses the format “<ICAccountName>-InHouse.xml”

‘BBBBB’ = the domain name value (and also possibly the path value – depending on IIS configuration) of the website on which the IC_CE_Pro files are installed

‘customer_main_website_address.com’ = the customer website address to which the candidate will return if they use the “Return to main site” option on the IC_CE_Pro pages

‘email_address_for_feedback@domain.com’ = the email address to which “feedback emails” will be sent if the candidate uses the “Leave Feedback or Comment” option on the IC_CE_Pro pages

Step 4. Add your logo image:

The IC_CE_Pro pages will automatically display the customer logo in the top left of each page

  • Logo image size should be – 111 x 25 pixels
  • The name of the logo file should be “widelogo.png”
  • The logo image should be stored in the top folder

Step 5 . Upload the modified files to your Linux (PHP) Server:

Use an FTP client (or Cpanel) to upload the modified files to a sub-folder on your webserver.

The relative path for all IC_CE_Pro files must be maintained

Step 6. Configure “Inhouse” Job Board ‘Domain’ value

Each time you “Post” (or “publish”) a new vacancy to your IC_CE_Pro website, Interview Coordinator will generate a unique “Response URL” value. This URL value can be used to copy to other pages (or job boards) such that the link will take the viewer directly to a specific vacancy details page.

The Interview Coordinator logic will therefore need to know the domain value of your IC_CE_Pro website in order to generate the unique Response URL.

This Domain variable is edited using the Interview Coordinator “Edit Account Variables” option

    • From the IC Home page, select Admin-Edit Account Variables option on Admin menu
    • Select Job Boards from account variables list
    • Click to edit INHOUSE job board
    • Edit Domain parameter to correct value, where the format is http://<customer_website.domain>/VacancyDetails.html
