MessageOK =Gang - I was able=20to get WebDNA running on my Windows XP Pro box! Very special =thanks to=20Terry Nair & Stuart Tremain for keeping me going during this=20process.
The ="secret" was=20this:
First, =WebDNA does=20NOT like spaces in the path name for the $WebCat.dll file. I had =my web=20root in:
D:\My=20Documents\Inetpub\wwwroot
That =was the problem=20with all subsequent attempts to install WebDNA because that folder was=20"remembered" between installs.
So, =here's what I=20believe to be the proper install procedure:
1) Run =the Windows=20Installer
- The =installer asks=20for 2 folder paths. The first is where to install the "WebCatalog" =folder. THis should be the root of your default website. In =my case,=20this was:
D:\My=20Documents\Inetpub\wwwroot
in =default IIS=20installations, it's usually:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
The =second folder is=20where to install the WebCatalogEngine folder (this is where the ISAPI =filter:=20$WebCat.dll is installed). Make sure this folder path does NOT =have any=20spaces in it!
I =originally=20installed this folder to:
D:\My=20Documents\Inetpub\Scripts
However, this caused=20all types of problems. The folder that worked was to install it=20to:
C:\Inetpub\Scripts
Note =that this=20folder does not have any spaces in it.
Additionally, The=20installer has some verbiage about installing the Engine in a folder =designated=20to run "scripts". The truth is that this folder must be configured =in IIS=205.1 as an "Application" folder. You can make this designation =AFTER the=20install if you don't already have a folder designated as an=20"Application".
After =the installer=20has run, it defaults to running the WebDNA html page. BEFORE you =do this,=20you should check several things in IIS.
2) ="Web Sites"=20Configuration.
- Open =IIS=20Manager.
- =Rt-Click the "Web=20Sites" folder and select "properties"
- =Under the "ISAPI=20Filters" tab, you should see "WebCatalog" with a "high" priority. =Make=20sure this is the LAST high priority filter. Click on this filter =and=20select "Edit" and make sure the executable to set to the correct path to =$WebCat.dll file (remember - no spaces!)
- Next =Click on the=20"Home Directory" tab and click the "Configuration" button. The =first tab=20on the next screen is "mappings". When you ran the installer in =step 1,=20you should see the default extensions (.db & .tpl) mapped to the =$WebCat.dll=20file. Again, confirm that these settings are mapped correctly with =no=20spaces! Now, I think these mappings are used whenever you create a =NEW=20website, but do not effect the settings of an existing website (like =your=20default website), so there's more to do...
3) =Default Web=20Site configuration.
- Open IIS=20manager and open the "Web Sites" folder in the =treeview
- =Rt-Click on the=20Default Website and select "properties"
- =Click on the=20"ISAPI Filters" tab and it should be empty
- =Click on the "Home=20Directory" tab and click the "Configuration" button.
- =Under the=20Mappings" tab, make sure that at a minimum .tpl and .db extensions are =mapped to=20the $WebCat.dll file and that the path to the .dll file is correct and =DOES NOT=20CONTAIN any spaces.
4) =Make sure=20"Scripts" folder is defined as a Virtual Folder in =IIS
- Open =IIS Manager,=20then open the "Web Sites" folder, then open the "Default Web Site"=20folder
- =Under the Default=20Website Folder, make sure the "Scripts" folder where you installed the=20WebCatalogEngine folder is listed as a virtual directory. If it is =not,=20then add it.
- =Also, if this=20folder is shown as an Application folder, then you must check the =mappings to be=20certain that .tpl & .db are mapped correctly. If the folder is =NOT an=20application folder, then the folder should get it's mappings from the ="Default=20Web Site" mappings.
5) =Make sure Web=20Catalog is defined as a Virtual Folder in IIS
- Open =IIS Manager,=20then open the "Web Sites" folder, then open the "Default Web Site"=20folder
- =Under the Default=20Website Folder, make sure the "Web Catalog" folder is listed as a =virtual=20directory. If it is not, then add it.
- =Also, if this=20folder is shown as an Application folder, then you must check the =mappings to be=20certain that .tpl & .db are mapped correctly. If the folder is =NOT an=20application folder, then the folder should get it's mappings from the ="Default=20Web Site" mappings.
OK, this is how I was able to get =the=20Windows XP Pro IIS to run the WebDNA program. For users with =default=20folder locations, it should not be as difficult as it was for me. =As=20mentioned, I think my whole problem stemmed from having a space in my =folder=20path and then each subsequent install had remnants of that space =somewhere in=20all of the IIS settings. Following the process above helped me get =the=20configuration running.
Again - thanks to all on the List =Server=20that tried to help me out.
