VisibleThread requires a HTTP server. There are two ways to deploy VisibleThread with a HTTP Server:

1. Install Apache HTTP server as part of the VT Docs installation (recommended)
2. Use Windows IIS server and configure it to work with VisibleThread

Install Using Apache Web Server

Run the install file and follow the install wizard instructions. Install instructions to note are the steps of installing a web server as a reverse proxy. If you wish to use Apache web server make sure the box is checked. All configuration for Apache web server will be done as part of the install.

Install Using IIS

If you wish to use IIS as a reverse proxy and for SSL termination make sure to uncheck the "Apache" box. We do NOT configure IIS as part of the install. Once the install wizard has finished, please follow this guide to configure IIS to work with VisibleThread: IIS As Reverse Proxy For VT Docs
