Kamesh716 installation issues
Hi,
I have installed 716 version on Win 2003 and the server works fine but the client throws some error.
1. Created the virtual directory ibi_apps in IIS. When I try test the url
http://servername/ibi_apps/about.jsp throws error. But if I try
http://servername:8080/ibi_apps/about.jsp shows the version page properly.
2. When I tried
http://servername/ibi_html/homepage/proc.htm, it shows proper but when I try
http://servername/ibi_html/wfconsole.htm, it shows Application Server Error
Any thought about this issue,
Thanks

Alan BIt sounds as if you don't have the jakarta ISAPI filter installed on IIS.

KameshI did add that. The issue sounds like the request is not pass through IIS to tomcat. I am not sure where I am missing.

Alan BAnd the jakarta filter does the pass through from IIS to Tomcat.

Alan BJust a thought. Did you create a Web Services Extension on IIS for Tomcat?
This is an extra step for 2003 servers; check the install guide.

FortuneCookieAre you using 64 bit Windows, if so i believe you'll need to download a 64 bit plug in

That is your problem ... you are NOT suppose to create a virtual directory on IIS for anything that you want to pass to Tomcat via AJP!

KameshAJP - What's that?
I tried by creating ibi_apps and deleted ibi_apps also. The problem we have is, we have two versions in the same machine. We have two websites, 1 website will point to the old version and this new website will point to the new version. When I install the new version, I stopped all the websites including default but except the one I created for the new version. When I install the WFClient, I specified the hostname as the new website name but after my installation is done all the virtual directories created on default website. I didn't understand why that happens.
Hope I didn't confuse you guys,

KameshNow I am getting this error
Unable to establish connection to WebFOCUS Administration Console
What may be the cause?
And also when I try the url,
http://servername/ibi_apps/about.jsp it shows the Open or Save dialog box.
Any thoughts,

dhagenKamesh,
AJP is the Tomcat listener on port 8009 (default). That is the port that the Jakarta redirector sends requests to from a web server such as IIS. My guess is that you still have a virtual directory on IIS for "/ibi_apps". IIS cannot serve a jsp page, so you need to remove it! The jakarta redirector has two configuration files that identify:
1 - what context paths are going to be redirected, and
2 - where it will redirect the request.
For Example: the workers.properties.minimal file contains something like:
worker.list=ajp13w
worker.ajp13w.type=ajp13
worker.ajp13w.host=localhost
worker.ajp13w.port=8009
The above identifies where to send an identified context. Notice the 8009 port (ensure that it is up and listening).
The uriworkermap.properties file identifies what is suppose to be forwarded, for example:
/ibi_apps/*=ajp13w
/ibi_apps=ajp13w
/rcaster/*=ajp13w
/rcaster=ajp13w
You will also need to verify that the Jakarta redirector is active for the web server you are trying to access. Check the properties for the server and see if the Filter is running. If not, you will have to manually add the redirector for your web server. You should be able to get the doc for that from your install manuals.

KameshThanks Dhagen for your valuable thoughts.
1. I did removed the ibi_apps virtual directory from IIS.
2. Filter is already added in to IIS and it is running fine.

KameshFinally it worked fine. The issue was, we can't run one version on IIS with ServletExec and other version on IIS with Tomcat on the same machine. Either we can use IIS with ServletExec and Tomcat as standalone or IIS with Tomcat with 2 instances.
After I removed the ServletExec, it worked fine.
