I am not sure what you meant, but I guess you have downloaded csweb and you need to configure it. Well, better deployment is on apache webserver, so you might consider installing xampp, wamp or any web server of your choice.

CSWeb can run on any system that supports Apache or IIS plus MySQL and PHP. Running CSWeb on your PC or laptop is possible and is fine for testing. For use in a production survey you will need to have a server that is accessible on the internet which usually involves getting a static ip address and a domain name as well as setting up proper security including obtaining and SSL certificate. Rather than set up your own server you should consider using one in the cloud provided by a web hosting company. If you are not sure what all of the above means then you should probably use Dropbox for synchronization rather than CSWeb. CSWeb is meant for large survey operations and for users who know how to manage websites.

Dear Josh

Is it possible to set automatic sync in the cspro data entry form? May be when it reached certain specific time sync is done by the system! 8-)

We are planning to add an easy way to do that in the future. For now you could do it on your own if you use a menu program and sync from logic. You could sync every time you return to the menu or you could save the last sync time using savesetting/loadsetting and check it against the current time to only sync once a day or something like that.

Hi Josh,
Dear Josh
Is it possible to set automatic sync in the cspro data entry form?
We are planning to add an easy way to do that in the future.
It's a very important feature: Automatic sync based on timer. You already have this for save partially.
Waiting for him!
Thanks in advance,

Unfortunately, CSPro team will not be able to help with your subdomain setup. You need to reach out to your systems administrator for configuring your server. Once you have the subdomain setup and have either IIS or Apache running, the CSWeb setup is same as the way you setup for your localhost.
