Some time back i was trying to do my own R&D over the personal lapi having Win 7 as OS HTTP server IIS 7 (Obvious :)) and wanted to see the Vanilla Open Text Content Server 9.7.1 deployment.
I came across few issue while doing so and wanted to post it if someone in actual is trying to implement it.
LL 9.7.1 vanilla installation din't give me and issue.Now when i was trying to configure the admin.index page after the installation..Oops i had faced few issue :(
These steps will explain a bit & resolve them:):).
Issue # 1: Error Summary
HTTP Error 403.14 - ForbiddenIssue # 1: Error Summary
The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.
Resolution:
- Open IIS Manager. (run> inetmgr > Enter)
- In the Features view, double-click Directory Browsing.
- On the Directory Browsing page, in the Actions pane, click Enable
Reset IIS Server (run > iisreset).
The request was reaching till IIS level since i was able to get though directory browsing but when i tried to browse the "livelink.exe" file i was not able to reach the destination page i.e was not redirected.
After some troubleshooting i found ---ASP Was Not Installed on IIS 7.0
Now in order to get this set
> Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
> In Control Panel, click Programs and Features, and then double click Turn Windows Features on or off.
> Expand Internet Information Services, --> World Wide Web Services, --> Application Development Features.
> Select ASP, and then click OK.
Issue # 3:
Now the next error which i encountered was of ISAPI & CGi restrictions.
> Open IIS manager and reach the top (root) level and select "Features View" and double click on "ISAPI and CGI Restrictions" and from the actions pane select "Edit Features Settings".
>Edit the ISAPI & CGI Restrictions Settings to allow the redirect of requests.
Issue # 4:
When i was trying to restart the livelink services i got to see some weird messages.
When your windows password changes you get such errors.
Go to your IIS manager and chage the password for your Livelink and Livelink Support virtual directories.
If you have selected the LL services to run for a particular domain account also restart the Livelink services.
While trying to do so I get error because of a change in windows password.So we got to change the password for the Livelink Services too.
So finally after all these configurations
When i type : http://
I got to see the configuration page for my Livelink Vanilla Installation.
And eveyone who work on OT Content Server should must understand that we are done with our vanilla installation of CS 9.7.1 over our win7\vista operating system and web server as IIS 7.0.
Cheers!!!!
