Hi all,

just a question. Has anybody suceeded in installing WF or DS along with IIS 7 and have IIS to connect to Tomcat on a 64 bit machine (Vista or Win Server 2008)? I've tried both but not getting IIS to connect to Tomcat. What's the trick?

I have seen a succesful installation with these products. The trick as I remember it was to not use the tomcat version for 64 bits, but just the 32 bit version. This also is valid for the jakarta redirector.

I have successfully installed the 32Bit version of WebFOCUS Reporting Server, 32Bit WebFOCUS Client, and used the 64bit isapi_redirector.dll to redirect IIS7 to Tomcat. What data sources are us accessing? Make sure you have 64bit Drivers for all of them before you use the 64bit Reporting Server!

GamP, I wish it was that simple. I'm running the 5.5.25 version of Tomcat that IBI are providing and the isapi_redirector-1.2.28.0.dll (32 bit).

I am not saying that! What I am saying is that if you need access to a data source that does not have a 64bit driver, then a 64bit reporting server will not be able to use the 32bit driver. Reporting Server 64bit must use 64bit Drivers and Reporting Server 32bit must use 32bit Drivers. You cannot mix and match them.

I don't think the problem is WF, rather IIS who seems to think that is should serve Static content instead of redirecting the request to the Servlet.

I also believe that you must use 7.6.10 for IIS7 on 64bit. I think that is what IBI supports.

Hakan, howzit going.

Strange you should have the same problem that we have had recently, however try this....

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435

Run the command line stuff that is in ASP.NET 32 bit-version section of the link and this should help you.

Stu, thanks a lot! Now I'm getting HTTP 500 errors in different flavours. Either
Calling LoadLibraryEx on ISAPI filter or Calling GetFilterVersion on ISAPI
filter. There are a number of posts on the web about this. Obviously Apache have some problems with the connector on 64-bit systems.

Håkan, If you are using 64 bit then you should use 64 bit everything especially the JVM because that is an absolute
for Tomcat.

It is also dependant on the processor that you are using, there are different versions of
the WF server dependant on whether it is Intel or AMD.

The same applies if you use 32bit which you must use if installing Dev Studio which is only available
as 32bit. Everything must be 32bit including Java.

Having tried all available Jakarta and Tomcat flavours, I gave up and I'm now relying on Apache HTTP Server + mod_jk connector + Tomcat 6 and it works just fine.
