Installing Fleet Maintenance Pro's Web Application Service
Please follow the steps below to install and configure Fleet Maintenance Pro's web application service. We
recommend having a member of your IT staff perform this installation and service configuration. If you
do not have any in-house IT staff, please contact a networking consultant or service provider.
Important Tips (please read!)
1. Be certain you are logged into your server as an "administrator" with full access privileges prior to installing the
web application service.
2. Prior to installing, we strongly advise that you temporarily disable your anti-virus software as it can interfere
with the service's configuration. It can then be re-enabled once the service is up and running successfully.
3. Be prepared to unblock ports on any firewall running on the server.
4. If you will be accessing the web application from outside of your local network, enabling and configuring port
forwarding on your router will be necessary. Additionally, setting up a static IP address or a service to always
forward to your network will be needed. These are advanced configurations which Innovative Maintenance
Systems will not be able to assist you with. Therefore, we recommend having a member of your IT staff
perform this installation and service configuration. If you do not have any in-house IT staff, please
contact a networking consultant or service provider.
