This is not the first installation of my app, but in the last when i run myApp.exe CONFIG i have "couldn't create virtual" message and my app is not correctly registered. The steps we use are the same and noted in a document. We use your scripts to configure IIS and install web connection I'm using administrator as user and i compare this server with another that works fine, but i am not able to find differences. What can i check ? What is wrong to have this error ?
Thanks
Make sure that the site ID in the configuration is pointing at the right site.
It's in your YourApp.ini
file:
[ServerConfig]
Virtual=
ScriptMaps=wwt,wc,wcs,wcsx,md
IISPath=IIS://localhost/w3svc/5/root
The IIS Path has the site id (5
above) - make sure it's pointing at the right Web site and that the virtual is correct. You also need to make sure the server is configured with the IIS 6 management tools. If you use the Web Connection IIS configuration that should be installed otherwise you have to manually enable it for automatic configuration.
Myapp.ini is correct
"You also need to make sure the server is configured with the IIS 6 management tools. If you use the Web Connection IIS configuration that should be installed otherwise you have to manually enable it for automatic configuration." What does it mean ? Excuse me i don't understand..
If you manually installed IIS features, you have to make sure the appropriate dependencies are installed. Specifically the IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility.
If you used the Install-IIS-Features.ps1
to install then it should be automatically installed.
The specific feature is:
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName IIS-IIS6ManagementCompatibility
More info here:

Don't know without looking at the server.
If you couldn't create the virtual then the automated setup was missing some configuration component - most likely those IIS 6 Metabase components or you didn't run as Administrator.
IAC, if the automated setup doesn't work you have to manually do it. There are instructions in the documentation - go through the list and see what was installed and what wasn't.
