Further configurations

Now you've got it working, what are some of the advanced configurations?

Detailed documentation and troubleshooting is available in the Enfold Proxy documentation.

If there are any problems, the first thing you should do is go to the directory you installed Enfold Proxy into and run eep_check.exe. This will test you configuration and connect to your Plone sites and tell you if it can find any problems. For example here's what happens when I try eep_check.exe when IIS is stopped:

>eep_check.exe
Enfold Proxy (2.5.2.5839) is checking your configuration.  Please wait...
Checking site 'default web site' (1)

Error found in host configuration section [u'host YourHost']
The URL (http://localhost:80/) failed to open
The server response was 500: Server Error

The local IIS host failed verification.
Please check IIS is running and that you have specified the correct
web site (execute 'eep_check --help' for options)
Enfold Proxy configuration check failed (1 error)

Other things that you might like to do that are covered in the documentation include:

  • having the proxy installed into a site other than the default can be performed using:
    eep.exe "--server=Web Site Name"
  • turning on and tweaking the caching
  • having other parts of your IIS site proxied
