Manually configuring WebSphere Application Server V5.0 to work with Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Web server
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
Microsoft® IIS V6.0 is now officially supported for use with IBM® WebSphere® Application Server V5.0.2.
 
Cause
Microsoft IIS V6.0 is officially supported for use with WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2, as stated on the Software Prerequisite Pages for V5.0.2. The product documentation, including this technote, has been updated to reflect this.
 
Resolving the problem
These instructions explain how to configure WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2 for use with Microsoft IIS V6.0 Web server.

Part 1
Install WebSphere Application Server Base Edition

This presumes that the installation is accomplished using the installation wizard.

  1. During product installation, choose the custom installation option.

  2. When you see the Features selection window, choose Web Server Plug-ins, in addition to any other components you want to install.

  3. Ensure that the Microsoft Internet Information Services sub-option is not selected as part of the custom installation. This option configures versions of IIS prior to V6.0 and is not compatible with IIS V6.0.

  4. Proceed through the rest of the installation process.

  5. After the WebSphere Application Server V5.0 product installation is complete, apply Fix Pack 2.

    If you are installing on Microsoft Windows® 2003, you do not need to apply Fix Pack 2. The WebSphere Application Server V5 installation image for Microsoft Windows 2003 installs WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2, which already includes Fix Pack 2.

Part 2
Manually configure the plug-in

Refer to the WebSphere Application Server V5.0 Information Center for details on manual configuration of the Web server plug-in.
