Does your IIS know to pass /ibi_apps on to the ISAPI redirector? Do you have an application server listening on the other end of the redirector?

IIS only serves the static content (html, javascript, css, images), the rest is passed on to an application server that knows how to run Java servlets.

You can test the correct working of the application server by connecting to it directly, using the port that the application server listens on.
Our tomcat, for example, listens on port 8080: http://our-tomcat-server:8080/ibi_apps/

MKS, what are you using as your application server? Apache Tomcat or the New Atlanta Servlet that used to come bundled with WebFOCUS 5.x?

Hi,

we are using new atlanta servlet.

Application server is working fine, I feel I am missing some crucial setting on IIS. I am actaully able to run the fex program by running them manually from browser I mean I am able to run it using link below:-

http://abcd.zam.XX.com/ibi_app...?IBIF_ex=wfcmpsusc01

But when I am trying to the set up on developer studio it gives this error as "acess denied"

Thank You
