# Configuring a new Webservice in PrestaShop 1.5

Our last article in the [Managing WebServices](/support/website/ftp/how-to-use-your-publicftp-folder/) course discussed how to [create a new webservice](/support/edu/prestashop/add-webservice/) in PrestaShop 1.5. This article will teach you how to configure the webservice within your back office. Follow the instructions below to configure your Webservice in PrestaShop 1.5.

**How to configure a Webservice in PrestaShop 1.5**

1. [ Log into your PrestaShop 1.5 dashboard](/support/edu/prestashop/login-to-dashboard/).
2. Using the top menu bar, hover over the **Advanced Parameters** tab and click on the **Webservices** option from the menu.
3. This brings you to the *Webservice* list page. You will see the list of webservices you have created in the upper section. The lower section, named **Configuration** has the two fields that affect all webservices in the list. Enable PrestaShop Webservice Enables the ability to use webservices.  NOTE: before enabling webservices you need to: 1. be certain that URL rewriting is available on your server 2. be certain that the 5 methods GET, POST, PUT, DELETE and HEAD are supported by your server Active Mode CGI for PHP This uses PHP as a CGI component instead of an Apache module. This is generally considered more secure. To use it, however, you need to have PHP not configured as a module. (Apache servers only) [![webservice-configuration](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/edu_prestashop1.5_Advanced_Paramaters_Webservices_Configuration_webservice-configuration.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/edu_prestashop1.5_Advanced_Paramaters_Webservices_Configuration_webservice-configuration.png)
