#### Installing ASP.NET Web Applications (Windows Hosting)

In addition to the applications from the Application Vault and Java Web Applications, you can install ASP.NET Web application packages in the Web archive format (WAR). These applications are not distributed with Plesk; therefore you should obtain them separately.

To install an application on your site:

1. Go to Domains > domain name > Web Applications > ASP.NET 1.1 Applications.

   A list of ASP.NET 1.1 web applications installed on your site will be displayed.

2. Click Install New Application in the Tools group. A list of site applications available for installation will be displayed. To specify which application you wish to install, select a radio button corresponding to the application of your choice.
3. Click Install.
4. Specify the domain folder in which the application should be installed, database name for the application, and click Install.

Now the application is installed and you can insert a link to this application into the web pages of your site, for example, on your home page. Otherwise, you and your users will have to access this application by typing its URL, which can be long enough to remember.

To access the web interface of an application, do any of the following:

- Type the URL in your browser. For example: http://your-domain.com/forum/.
- Go to Domains > domain name > Web Applications > ASP.NET 1.1 Applications, and click an icon , corresponding to the application.

To reconfigure an application or change the application administrator's password:

Go to Domains > domain name > Web Applications > ASP.NET 1.1 Applications, and click an icon , corresponding to the application.

To uninstall an application:

1. Go to Domains > domain name > Web Applications > ASP.NET 1.1 Applications, and select a check box corresponding to the application that you no longer need.
2. Click Remove Selected. The application will be uninstalled and its databases removed from the server.

If you want a certain Web-application to be started when someone tries to enter a domain, it can be done by creating a default domain application.

To set an application as default for a domain:

1. Go to Domains > domain name > Web Applications > ASP.NET 1.1 Applications.

   A list of application packages installed on the site will be displayed.

2. Select a check box corresponding to the application package you want to set as default, then click Default. Click OK to confirm the creation of the default Site Application.

Now, when a user enters an URL in the address field of his browser (for example, http://example.com), he is taken to the default Web application.
