This topic describes manual configuration settings for Internet Information Services (IIS).
Before you begin
When you install the Web server plug-ins for WebSphere Application Server, as described in Installing Web server plug-ins, the Plug-ins installation wizard configures the Web server. This topic describes how to configure the Internet Information Services (IIS) Web server. Other procedures in Editing Web server configuration files describe configuring other supported Web servers.
You must have read/write access to the plugins_root directory to perform this task.
Why and when to perform this task
Use the following procedure to manually reproduce how the Installation wizard configures the Microsoft Internet Information Services Web server.Steps for this task
Right-click Default Web Site, then click New > Virtual Directory to create the directory with a default installation.
Add the Internet Services Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) filter into the IIS configuration.
Click Programs > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager on a Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition system, for example.
Right-click Default Web Site > New > Virtual Directory to create the directory with a default installation.
For example, select the C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Plugins\bin\IIS_webserver1 directory.
Select the Read check box and the Execute (such as ISAPI applications or CGI) check box, for example.
For example. copy the plug-in binary files to the C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Plugins\bin\IIS_webserver1 directory.
The plugin-cfg.loc file resides in this directory. The first line of the plugin-cfg.loc file identifies the location of the plugin-cfg.xml file.
Add the Internet Services Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) filter into the IIS configuration.
In the Default Web Site Properties panel, perform the following steps:
Browse to your plugins_root \bin\IIS_web_server_name directory to select the iisWASPlugin_http.dll file.
Set the location to the plugins_root \config\ webserver_name \plugin-cfg.xml file, which might be C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Plugins\config\IIS_webserver1\plugin-cfg.xml file.
The location varies depending on how you have configured your system. If the Web server and the Application Server are on separate machines, you have a remote installation.
If the two servers are on the same machine, you have a local installation.
If the two servers are on the same machine and the application server is federated, you have a local distributed installation.
"C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\custom01\config\cells\ dmgrcell\nodes\managed_node\servers\webserver1\plugin-cfg.xml"
"C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\default\config\cells\ sa_cell\nodes\webserver1_node\servers\webserver1\plugin-cfg.xml"
"C:\IBM\WebSphere\Plugins\config\webserver1\plugin-cfg.xml"
To enable worker process in isolation mode:
Result
This procedure results in reconfiguring the Internet Information Services (IIS) Web server.
What to do next
You can now install applications on the configured Web server. See the Applications section of the information center for more information.
