ISAPI & IIS6

[davidtg]

Hi all,

I've got the TexisISAPI.dll that came with v5.14 and find that I still must set IIS6 to run in IIS5 Isolation Mode or the filter won't load. Previous postings seem to indicate there is a version that will run native IIS6 mode.

Thanks, David

The later TexisISAPI.dll will work in IIS 6 (I'll
check on the version number), but it should be used
as an ISAPI Extension instead of a Filter.

If the installer didn't prompt for IIS 5 / IIS 6, then
you'll need an updated installer.

I'm assuming you mean your admin interface reports
'Webinator 5.1.14'? If so, IIS 6 native functionality was
added after that release, you'll need to update.

If you're using a paid version, please open a support
ticket to get the update.

Ahh - I've been installing as a Filter, in addition to a Service Extension.

I've removed the filter install, switched back to native IIS6 and it appears to be working correctly with the default site.

But I find now that our second site on this server the TexisIsapi isn't intercepting as it was when installed as a filter. Is this expected?, and if so how can I change.

Thanks, David

When used as an extension, each site needs to map it to a virtual directory. There's nothing automatic to do it, so we'll have to do it manually.

* In your second site, create a new virtual directory from the root called "texis". what local directory it actually points to is irrelevant, requests will never get there.

* Right click on the new virtualdir & select properties.

* In the "Application Settings" area in the bottom half, click "Create", and then "Configuration..."

* In "Wildcard Application Maps" in the bottom half, hit "Browse..." and select TexisISAPI.dll (placed by default in C:\windows\system32\intesrv)

* UNCHECK the "verify that file exists" box.

"OK" all the windows that are open, and it should be functional on the second site.
