Re: Trying to setup Web Connection with IIS7 in Win2008

The configuration routines for Web Connection 5.50 and later should automatically set up all the 64 bit stuff properly when creating a new Application Pool for IIS 7. Older versions didn't do this, but it does now...

Good advice though - if automated installs don't work the manual installation steps are pretty complete and should always work. Important not to miss anything though :-)

Hi Tristan
I was also used to run the Web Connection wizard to set it up...and when
trying to do it on Windows 7 64 bits machines, I found similar problems as you are seeing...
So...I switched to Manual Configuration...following closely what the docs say...
And all the sudden everything began to work...
Now...what I do is just have the \wconnect install directory...and I do all configuration manually..
I realize it's several steps...but it makes sense and works 100%...
My .02 cts...
Cheers...

Fixed that by re-running the web connection set up.

Now stuck at:

HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found
The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler. Detailed Error InformationModule StaticFileModule

Thanks, that fixed the 500 error. But I seem to have taken one step forward and two back. Now whenever I type in:
http://localhost/wconnect/default.htm

I get an IE error saying "Service Unavailable" and then in IIS7 it stops the running the WEb Connection application pool.

This seems a lot harder than IIS 6 to get working!

Where are you getting this error info from?

Is this a 64 bit box? Make sure the application pool is set to allow 32 bit operation.

Hi all,

Our old Windows 2003 server box is dying and I'm trying to port over over web connection application to a new SBS2011 box which has IIS7.

I can't get the Web connection demo pages to work.

I've followed the steps in http://www.west-wind.com/wconnect/weblog/ShowEntry.blog?id=493

but when I try the nocode.wc script, I get the 500 error.

Url http://localhost:80/wconnect/wcscripts/nocode.wc
App Pool West Wind Web Connection
Authentication anonymous
User from token NT AUTHORITY\IUSR
Activity ID {00000000-0000-0000-BD11-0080000000E2}

It looks like a permission problem. I've got my temp files being written out to c:\temp\wc and have SYSTEM set to full and IUSR set to full access.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Tristan
