iShare Folder Structure
- Kim Stimpson
When installing both iShare and iShareGIS on the same server the folder structure below still needs to be used. For example where the same server is used for both iShare and iShareGIS the folder structure on the server should reflect the details below - two instances of Studio + web folders are required, one for iShare and one for iShareGIS.
Only the Maps folder and the MapServer installation can be shared by two products.

Whilst some of the above folders are highlighted as “Editable”, this means that the files within the folder are editable. The actual folder names must remain the same for the application to function correctly.
When performing customisations, changes should be noted to ensure that any upgrades in the future will not impact the installed system.
