texte = Thanks Chris, What I am really looking for is something like WebDNA 6 installer for IIS 6 Win 2003 server. Sweet and clean ....run the installer, configure a few settings ....and we are up and running. Installing IIS 6 Metabase on IIS 7 is tantamount to driving a Ferrari on 1st gear only just to keep the old applications running. Not really fully optimizing the benefits of 2008. What is worst are the patches ....or updates that roll out for 2008 ....more tinkering at times to keep things going. IIS 6 Metabase solutions is supposed to be a temp fix not a permanent solution for migrating of IIS 6 to IIS 7.5. Anyway thanks Chris for shedding some light. I am definitely going to wait for the WebDNA 7 installer for the Windows 7 and 2008 series. If WebDNA 7 can run on XP Pro and Win 2003 ...I will take that first than jump to the latest OS when ready. I understand that it is not easy and funding is required for Win series. I am a true blue WebDNA addict so ...no worries, I will wait for that day when you break wind with good news ....;-) Cheers TDn -----Original Message----- From: christophe.billiottet@webdna.us [mailto:christophe.billiottet@webdna.us] Sent: Friday, May 06, 2011 18:56 To: talk@webdna.us Subject: Re: [WebDNA] Windows v7 On May 6, 2011, at 7:01, Terry Nair wrote: > As for WebDNA 7 on Windows 7, I have asked the same question about when it > would be ready but have yet to get a response.

Here the instructions posted by Patrick McCormick in 2009: Subject:[WebDNA] Installing Windows CICADA under IIS7/2008 Server Enterprise 64bit From:Patrick McCormick I managed to get WebDNA v6.2 CICADA working under Windows Server 2008 Enterprise, 64 bit. This OS supports running 32 bit .dlls if properly configured. I'm posting the steps here in case anyone else needs it, and because I'll forget and need to look this up again. 1) Before installing WebDNA, you need to make sure that you have already installed IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility, ISAPI Extension Support and ISAPI Filters on the server. Make sure you can get to the default web page with a browser and figure that out before proceeding. 2) Install the Windows CICADA package. It will attempt to set up and configure the services and will likely generate an error message. We will update the installer in the future, but until then, please follow the rest of these steps. 3) Open the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. 4) Double-click "Handler Mappings" from the main IIS screen. 5) Click on "Add Script Map." 6) Set up the handler mapping for c:\inetpub\scripts\WebCatalogEngine\ $WebCat.dll with extensions *.tpl, *.tmpl, *.htm, *.html, plus/or any other suffixes and check to allow the ISAPI extension and execution of scripts. 7) Double-click "ISAPI & CGI Restrictions" on the main IIS screen. Right-click on PHP and select "Edit Feature Settings" and check "Allow unspecified ISAPI modules." 8) Right-click on the Default Application Pool (or the one you want to use if more than one) and select "Advanced Settings." 9) Change the "Enable 32-bit Applications" to True. Click OK. This spawns the App Pool in 32-bit mode, so if you have other modules that need to be run in 64-bit mode, best to separate the website into two App Pools: one 32-bit and one 64-bit. 10) Restart the server. -Pat --------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
