Closed Issue: Raktajino and WAI support [17327]

bheinz — Wed, 05 May 2010 20:33:14 GMT

There is a very cool project on codeplex to make the Webapplication installation process with IIS as simple as possible called Raktajino. This uses a other project call WAI (Web Application Installer). I suggest to change the installer from Nullsoft Installer System (NSIS) to Raktajino/WAI.

COMMENTED ISSUE: Skipping Installation Files (see 8372)

bheinz — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 19:14:42 GMT

I'm having the same problems as issue 8372 with the 1.0.5 installer where the isapi* files are skipped during installation. I've attached screenshots of all the relevant installation steps and destination directories so that you can see what's happening.

Hi Andy,

You are going to have to set things up manually for the time being. Run the installer on an XP box or server 2003. Copy the files to the following locations:
C:\WINNT\system32\msvcr71.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\msvcp71.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\inetsrv\isapi_fcgi.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\inetsrv\isapirewrite4.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\inetsrv\isapirewrite4.ini

This should get you up and running until I am able to determine why the installer won't put the files there.
Can you please check the "effective permissions" of the C:\WINNT\system32 and C:\WINNT\system32\inetsrv\ directories for the user account you are running? If you can't manually copy the files there, it is permissions.

Thanks,
Brent

In order to support multiple rails sites on different websites, the current implementation does not work without much headache!

CLOSED ISSUE: Installer not copying DLLs to the right place

bheinz — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 15:39:55 GMT

I am having trouble with the installer not copying the DLLs to the windows/system32/inetserv and windows/system32/ directories. Every time I try running the installer, it says "skipped" for those files. Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

CLOSED FEATURE: Feature - add the ability to specify an app pool identity

bheinz — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 04:35:04 GMT

Currently the installer creates an app pool (without the choice not to) and runs as the default "Network Service" identity. 1) Add ability to NOT associate an app pool for the website when it is created. 2) Add the ability to specify service, system, network service or configurable identity if you choose to create an app pool.

CLOSED ISSUE: Quote marks around isapi_fcgi.dll

bheinz — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 04:35:03 GMT

One thing I noticed extra quote marks were put around the isapi_fcgi.dll within the IIS MMC I then checked for quote marks around the isapi_fcgi.dll entry - because during my testing it had caused an fast cgi server error You can check this value by using the IIS MMC , right click the site / select properties / click home tab / click configuration button / click the ISAPI mappings tab / scroll down to .fcgi, select it and click edit. If the reference to the isapi_fcgi.dll file location has quote marks around it remove both of them. from http://dorjem.blogspot.com/2007/02/to-setup-rails-on-iis-and-enable-it-for.html Many thanks for the great work - what you're doing makes life much easier for those of us who are new to rails.

CLOSED FEATURE: Feature - add the ability to set the Enable32BitAppOnWin64 flag

bheinz — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 04:35:02 GMT

Because the isapi dlls are 32-bit (IsapiRewrite4.dll, isapi_fcgi.dll, msvcr71.dll, msvcp71.dll and libfcgi.dll), the IIS application pools for running rails need to be 32-bit instead of 64-bit (default on x64 windows OS). 1) Add the ability to set the IIS metabase flag for restricting application pools to run in 32-bit mode instead of 64-bit mode. * Note: this limits your web server from running any 64-bit applications. To manually change this setting, open a command prompt and execute the following: cmd.exe /> cscript.exe %SystemDrive%\inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set w3svc/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1 Or if you have the IIS6 resource kit, run the metabase explorer and change the following: Metabase Object => IIS://localhost/W3SVC/AppPools Property => Enable32BitAppOnWin64 Set its value = 1 to enable 32-bit application pools. (default is zero or not set depending upon your platform architecture) Comments: Resolved with changeset 18431.

CLOSED ISSUE: Bug - Installer does not properly account for x64 redirection

bheinz — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 04:35:02 GMT

Files that should be installed in c:\windows\system32 are redirected to c:\windows\syswow64. The NSIS installer (with or without redirection enabled/disabled) always shows $SYSDIR to be c:\windows\system32 so the IIS setup scripts map isapi filters to c:\windows\system32 instead of where they actually got redirected to c:\windows\syswow64. Fix the install script to properly locate the redirected system folder using API calls and explicitly install files there on 64-bit windows OS. Comments: Resolved with changeset 18431.

CLOSED ISSUE: Bug - IIS Setup script does not add .fcgi to extension restriction list

bheinz — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 04:35:00 GMT

The VB version of the iis setup script added isapi_fcgi.dll to the extension restriction list and set its status to allowed, the .js version does not perform the necessary steps. 1) Fix the script to add the extension file to the restriction list and set its status to allowed.
