Hi C,
I am not sure why, but I'm not seeing your original posts. I will look
into that later I guess. For now, I've copied your message in-line (from
the web) and have responded below:
> I started the server using a pre-configured one with Win Server 2008
and SQL Server Express.
Perfect. IIS7 also needs to be pre-installed along with the ISAPI
filtering module. I am working in registry checks to the OpenBD 1.3
installer that will prompt you if you don't have the required modules
installed, but unfortunately there's no checking in the 1.2 installer.

I assume that means it was wicked fast. =) That's good!

Should be perfect for IIS7 on W2K8

Not quite. The installer does NOT install a web server (other then the
one that comes included with Tomcat). It *only* installs Tomcat, the 1.6
JDK, and of course OpenBD.
The OpenBD Admin URL linked in your start menu is being served from port
8888, which is Tomcat's built-in web server.

Is it an IIS 404, Tomcat 404, or OpenBD 404?

I know what you're speaking of, but that's not the problem here. This
part is done automatically via the installer.

I't probably not a permission problem.
The question to ask here is what kind of 404 are you getting?
IIS 404 - means that the connector didn't install right. This is usually
the result of the ISAPI IIS module not being installed. Go to your role
config in Windows, modify the IIS role, and add the ISAPI filter
abilities. Once you do that, you can re-apply the connector with the
batch files in the OpenBD "connector" directory:
c:\openbd\connector\iis7remove.bat
c:\openbd\connector\iis7connect.bat
While these *can* be run by double-clicking them, it's best to run them
from the command line. That way you can see if any of the commands error
out. If there are errors, the connection between IIS and Tomcat will
almost certainly fail.
Or... you can just run the uninstaller, and reinstall again. ;) This
will run those batch files for you.
Tomcat 404 - This means something is broken in Tomcat. Please let me
know if you get this.
OpenBD 404 - This means that Tomcat/OpenBD doesn't know where to find
your CFM files. You need to add an entry to your tomcat server.xml file.
You can either edit the file using the start menu link, or you can open
c:\openbd\tomcat\conf\server.xml and edit it from there. Once you edit
the file to point to the right spot, you need to restart the
Tomcat/OpenBD service.
Let us know if this helps or not!
Warm regards,

Jordan will have to chime in here, but if you told the installer to hook
into IIS then I doubt it installed Apache. If IIS is running and you're
not using a port number in your URLs, and the OpenBD admin works, then
that's going through IIS.
