Re: [mapguide-users] Mag Guide setup on II7 2008 Server Issue, Please help

Wed, 05 May 2010 11:51:07 -0700

I can't offer you any direct help, but I can tell you that my server is the same setup - Windows 2008 x64, IIS7. I tried to set up MG2.1 with IIS7 and eventually gave up. I think that I got it all working, but I was having an error come up all the time that a process terminated (this didn't actually seem to cause a problem, service wise - but it was annoying to see on the server all the time). I think that was fcgi related. Everything I'd read at the time seemed to say that that was normal - but it didn't sit well. I think there was a workaround...I believe that the service didn't run all that well, either - either it was poor performance, or poor stability (I think it was the latter).

One thing that I do remember is that you need to set your app pool to 32bit. You've likely got that at this point though. Anyway, to make a long story short, I ended up (after doing what you did - install, remove, install, remove, etc) going with Apache on a different port. I haven't looked back since. I've only had to restart my service a couple of times, over a long period of time now. Sorry I'm no help - but my suggestion is to give up on getting it to work with IIS7, because I don't think that it'll ever be as stable/fast as Apache+MapGuide. Just my 2 cents.

Hello,

 

I have had MGOS working on the old XP box for testing, now I am trying to install it on the production Windows Server (64 bit) 2008 with IIS7. I am almost to the point of adding Apache to that server on a different port and using it like that. But, perhaps you may be able to help.

 

I have tried installing MGOS using the instruction for 2008 server on IIS7 (I found three different sets of instructions for that and none work completely), the best one, so far was at geospecialling.com. (Installing and uninstalling on a working server is not a lot of fun. I have done it four times now. Thankfully it is under my control and I can check when there are no users.)

 

So, I have MGOS installed (as best as I can so far and configured, again, as best as I can so far) I have php.info working, FCGI working (according to phpinfo), the administrator pages working and the agent pages come up but all of the tests (that I have tried) fail  with a cannot establish connection error. I get the same error in Maestro. I have tried the maps (sheyboygan is loaded but nothing is returned). I tried goggling fcgi, fcgi IIS7, fcgi 401.5, mapguide fcgi, etc, etc. Looking in forums, etc.  I cannot find an answer to this so I am asking if anyone might have a solution or at least point me in the direction to begin troubleshooting it.  

 

Looking in the logs it is a 401.5 meaning the FCGI requires a login but it doesn’t ask for one and I have authorization set to anonymous and application pool.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks, Tori
