<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>Has anyone set up ArcIMS on Win Server 2008 and IIS7?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I can’t set up virtual directories as I did in the
past. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I can only serve data if it’s physically put under
\inetpub\wwwroot<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>That’s cumbersome. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>“Web share” is gone from IIS7. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When I try to set up virtual websites exactly as I did in
earlier versions they do not work. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve set up permissions exactly the same. I’ve
even given “everyone” read/execute permission – and no matter
what I do, I get a 404 error.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It’s not clear to me how one designates a directory as
an internet-accessible space, except by setting it up as a virtual directory
and adding Network and IIS_IUSR permissions. Again, that has not
worked on any directory not under ~wwwroot.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I did a direct copy of all data from the initial install to
backup drive, then to the new IIS install. This is baffling.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I had no trouble setting up ArcIMS under NT – through Winserver
2003. I even had a primitive version of ArcView web service running on
Unix in 1998. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I found that no one else on this campus has IIS7 running as
a web server. I don’t think an ArcIMS install was a wise choice to test a
relatively new IIS, but I wasn’t given a choice. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m not allowed to touch the install DVD’s
for WinServer. “Experts” handle it, but their responsibility
ends when the machine boots to the new system. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For what it’s worth, my entire install is on the C:
drive. I learned it’s close to impossible to move the\Inetpub
from C: to D: with IIS7. It forces install on C:. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have learned why “un-roling” IIS7 makes
reinstall difficult – and I solved that problem after days of searching
the web. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Creating a simple virtual directory seems an insurmountable task
now. <o:p></o:p></p>
