Multiple Websites or virtual directories in IIS

Hi,
I am kind of confused by the doc:
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/plugins/isapi.html#109058
multiple Websites and virtual directories are totally different things.
I am assuming here is talking about the virtual directory. But when I tried to follow the steps to set the Application Protection (last step) I got a popup warning says:
COM+ was unable to talk to the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator.
what's that mean? how can I set it?
Thanks

Hi Teser,
I'm glad you wrote this post, because I've been struggling with this beast for the better part of a day now. I find the documentation to be misleading, confusing and poorly written.
I hope that someone can enlighten regarding this one, 'cause I am getting the same error. In the meantime I am trying to find out the meaning of this message and will post it if I find it.
Regards

MySql connection to Win2003 virtual directories

CS3 PHP/MySQL local Dreamweaver running on Mac OS X 10.5,
remote
testing server running on Windows Server 2003/iis/PHP/MySQL.
The
example in the tech note of of IIS
http://localhost/warehouse/
does not work
for me. The only way I can get it to work is by putting the
_mmServerScripts
folder in the iis default site - any other setting returns a
401 permissions
error. The virtual directory is the live directory for the
site and has
appropriate permissions allowing http access and ftp access
but
Dreamweaver errors with 401.
1. Dreamweaver will work with the _mmServerScripts in a
folder that is not
the site home folder
2. The advanced site definition dialogues are unhelpful as
they do not reflect
what is going on and the error messages confuse the matter
I still have no idea why Dreamweaver is returning a 401 error
but it seems
that it does no support virtual directories in iis, which I
find hard to believe.
I feel I must be missing something.
Note: I don't want to use the default/root on this server
because it has
restricted access for another purpose.

I think the problem here may be the NAT router. You might have to forward the range of ports specified as "PassivePorts" in the config file to the FTP server.

Thanks man!
I got it working by uncommenting the PassivePorts and open them in the router.

Virtual Directories and ColfFusion

This is really hot but I need to know what happens when
ColdFusion accessed a Virtual Directory. Does any one have a
architect of this for ColdFusion?
This is REALLY HOT and I need this ASAP. I have the following
but I need to add the VD part.
Jim

> ColdFusion accessed a Virtual Directory
I'm guessing you mean Virtual Directories in IIS?
I don't think CF is the one actually accessing these
directories? I think IIS
simply has a map from the virtual to the physical, and it's
the physical that IIS
passes to CF?
Meaning, CF is unaware of the Virtual Directory? This is not
to say that .cfm
files located in Virtual Directories do not get processed by
CF.
Good luck!

Virtual Directories vs. IIS "Web Sites"

I haven't tried installing multiple WebTools instances into different "Web Sites" yet. I'm wondering if there are any recommendations when doing this.
Without testing it yet, my first thought is to let WebTools install into the virtual directory, and then copy/paste into the separate IIS "Web Site".
Yes? No? Anyone with experience on this? Any issues with licensing if there are multiple installs like this?
Thanks!

Hi Paul
You can use the installer, but effectively all it is doing with the website files is extracting the contents into the directory you specify then creating a new website in IIS with the application root pointed to this directory. It also creates a web.config file with the database connectionstring in it and encrypts it using the private key you chose or was chosen by the installer.
If you just copy the webfiles into a different directory then create a new website in IIS, the installer will not be aware of this instance, and you will have to create a new instance in order to use the installer for upgrading to a new patch level. So be careful if you choose this route.
Its recommended that you use the advanced mode of the installer to create multiple instances.
In terms of licensing, the web tools license is per server not per website so you could host multiple websites on the same machine with one license.

Sccm 2012 DP failed to create iis virtual directories

I am trying to install a branch server as Sccm 2012 DP.
I already installed around 15 branch servers without any problems.
The problem I have is that the branch server failed to create iis virtual directories.
In my console under Monitoring, component status It writes that Distribution Manager successfully installed iis component of operating system to distribution point ""
Next it writes error to send packages to that branch server.
The site server distmgr.log shows the error below:

Windows IIS virtual directories

I'm setting up CPS and Contribute 3 on a large site. Users in
different departments have access to specific folders that contain
their pages. What I can't seem to be able to do is to add virtual
directories to the users' list of folders to edit (though I really
just want them to be able to link to files in those virtual
directories). The virtual directories contain document libraries
(agendas, minutes, reports, media releases) that are maintained by
another system, so it seemed like a good idea to keep those folders
out of the root folder of the site that the CPS manages. But those
virtual directories don't show up in the list of folders to allow
users to edit. Has anyone run into this problem and found a way
around it? I could just drop the virtual directory idea if that's
the only way.

Hi,
If NDES is the only CA role service on this server, this problem is expected. Because NDES requires the installation of the Certification Authority Web Enrollment role service on the same Server.
The Certificate Authority Web Enrollment pages are needed since the NDES IIS application is a virtual directory underneath the Web Enrollment pages (CertSrv).
Hope this helps.

Bruce

Restore the deleted extended IIS web site into Virtual directories

Hi,
i deleted the IIS site from virtual directories and as well from IIS. But still i can see the extended web site zone in the Central administration, General Settings from the remove SharePoint from IIS web site. now question is there any way i can restore
the deleted iis site zone any how?
Thanks

Hi Trevor,
Thanks for your answer. i need some suggestion regarding on going issue. First i have created a web application at port 80 when it was in singer server and then i extended to 443 and 80 in multi-tier farm as you can see in the below image
And then i deleted IIS site from IIS itself and from Virtual directories as you can see in the below picture. Then i blinded the "SharePointDemo-80" site with host header at port 443 With default zone AAM. now i can access the site well but problem
is if i want to deploy any custom solution, getting error "The web.config is invalid on this IIS web site: "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\demoportal.bbcat.local80\web.config. " and also crawler is not crawling any items. my
understanding is, as there is no IIS site into virtual directories obviously will throwing error. Usually first i create web application at different port (example 8080) and then extend the application to 80 or 443. As i have already place this web application
and did customization, what will be the best way to handle this situation?
Thanks in advanced!!

Coldfusion 9.01 no longer recognizes virtual directories

Hi -
I have an application that has been working fine for over a year and now anything that references Virtual Directories no longer functions. Here are the details:
Coldfusion is running on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise.
Using IIS6 for the web server on the same box.
I have several virtual directories setup that reference files on another server on the same network.
What I did to break things... I installed Apache (the latest release) along with PHP - but I set Apache up to listen on a different port (8080). Suddently any part of my code that tries to reference a file that is found through a virtual directory generates the following error:
An error occurred when performing a file operation exists on file /serverpdfs/130kPDFs/137485.pdf.
The cause of this exception was: org.apache.commons.vfs.FileSystemException: Could not determine the type of file "http://www.mybp-graphics.com/serverpdfs/130kPDFs/137485.pdf"..
Here's the actual code that generated that error:
<cfset filename = "http://www.mybp-graphics.com/serverpdfs/130kPDFs\137485.pdf">
     then within a table...
     <cfif FileExists("#filename#")>
    <td>Yes File</td>
    <cfelse>
    <td>No file</td>
    </cfif>
The "serverpdfs" is the virtual directory inside the website "mybp-graphics.com". If I look in IIS the directory is there, I can see all the files in it - it seems to be working fine.
I first experienced the problem when we tried to open a PDF for viewing by using <CFCONTENT> - the same type error occurs.
What is especially suspicious is that the exception was was "org.apache.commons.cfs.FileSystemException" - This error still persists even though I have done the following:
1. Completely de-installed Apache and hid the PHP directory.
2. Re-installed ColdFusion from scratch.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated - this error is affecting multiple modules of a website that is used constantly by both our customers and our internal employees.
If this should be posted in a different area of the forum please let me know.
Thanks
Curt

Sean,
Thanks for your reply - in regards to the "FileExists()" - I had set that up as a quick test and received the same error (essentially) as my primary code that is generating the eror. Below is the actual code that generates the error - along with the full output of the error message below;
The code calls another file to actually "push" the PDF I am trying to open - hopefully the code all makes sense. The CFSET code calculates the file name as files are stored in different sub-directories. This code has worked well for over a year.
As for the 500 error - I suspect that is a permissions issue - that folder is not publicly accessible - but it is to the coldfusion user account - and thus it serves it up.

How we set up multiple websites on OSX Server

BACKGROUND
After fiddling and futzing around for weeks (actually since last year) I've finally figured out how to set up multiple websites (virtual sites) using one port and one IP address. While there seems to be lots of discussion on this topic, it seems that the basic assumption is that one knows everything about websites, DNS and all that stuff, which I do not.
When our network was originally established the engineer set up a wiki and also configured webmail, so we had two sites, one secured for mail and the other open for Calendar and the wiki. We were not hosting any websites locally because our school website is hosted by a company in New England.
This year I wanted to set up websites for teachers and students. As great as the wiki is, there are some things it just can't do as well as a website. So I figured if I set up the sites teachers could link back and forth from one to the other. In addition kids could now start to use a real website instead of the cobbled together file mess I had when we ran a Windows network. Also iWeb is a much more accessible tool than FrontPage.
SERVER SIDE:
Snow Leopard Server - 10.6.4
There are two - actually three pieces if you want your iWeb clients to connect to the server: Server Side Web Services, DNS and, in my case, FTP.
================================================ SERVER SIDE - WEB SERVICES
If you haven't turned on Web services, you'll need to open Server Admin and do that. If you don't know how to set up web services - just reply and I'll step you through that as well.
Once web services are set up and turned on, you'll see it listed under your server’s name in the Server Admin sidebar. Click on "Web" and then click on the "Sites" tab at the top of page. This is where you list all your sites.
Click the plus button and enter the fully qualified name of your site, for example: "students.myschool.org". Don't use the defaults here (no name) - that's what got me in trouble before. BE SPECIFIC!
You'll be looking at the "General" tab (the other tabs, "Options", "Realms", etc. we'll deal with in a second).
On the "General Tab", the default IP address ("any") and port (80) is just fine. We'll run everything over port 80. (Apache figures all the virtual site stuff out - you don't need your rocket science degree for that.)
"Web Folder:" is important because this is how you'll "segment" your websites. While I would NEVER do this again, we have a solid state hard drive for the OS and a RAID array for our data files. IF you have that, make sure you do NOT use the default "Web Folder" because it will store all your files on your solid state drive. There may not be enough room, over time, on that drive. I've not experienced it yet, but it's my understanding that if the drive fills up, the server shuts down.
I store my web sites on a folder on the RAID array.
Everything else on that tab can be left as the default. (Just make sure that you have an "index.html" or "index.php" file in your web folder root, but iWeb will take care of that for you.)
I would put in your email address in the "Administrator Email:" field.
Under "Options" you really don't have to put anything. I've tested making websites with iWeb and it doesn't appear that anything needs to be checked.
Nothing needs to be entered in "Realms" as well from what I see working w/ iWeb.
The defaults in "Logging" are fine.
You can leave "Security" alone, but we do have a (self-issued) certificate listed for our webmail site.
"Aliases" is important. Under "Web Server Aliases" you enter how you want the site to respond to when users type in a URL in their web browsers.
When our web server was initially set up the engineer set up "wiki.myschool.org" on port 80 and "mail.myschool.org" on port 443. In the aliases section was nothing but a "*" (the wildcard character). That means, from what I can figure out, that the webserver will respond to these sites regardless of what is typed in the URL. (Well, something like that - point is, if you create OTHER websites, you'll NEVER get to them because the wildcard character in the "Aliases" section, in effect, grabs those web requests and redirects them to the sites that are already there.
In my case I deleted both of those wild card characters. For my "wiki.myschool.org" site, I entered "mail.myschool.org". That means if you type EITHER "wiki." or "mail.", go to the site that’s stored in the “Web Folder” we set up when those sites were created.
For "mail.myschool.org" I just DELETED the wildcard character. I wanted that site (since it was secured) only to respond to "mail." - nothing else. (You're not going to that secured site for any other reason than to get your mail.)
"Proxy" can be left blank. Have no idea what that does. As time permits I'll do some research and figure out what it's used for.
"Web Services" is if you want to provide any MORE services to this particular site. Most likely you'll want to uncheck all the boxes. For our "wiki." site, we have checked "Wikis", "Blogs", and "Calendar". For our "mail." site we have those checked PLUS "Mail".
I would create a separate "Web Folder" for each of your sites. I don't know if that's a requirement but for housekeeping purposes, I would keep the sites separated. And I SUSPECT that it's "best practice" to separate your wiki from your other websites.
SERVER SIDE - DNS
OK...now you have to make your site reachable and the only way to do that is to set up DNS so that folks don't need to type in the IP address of your web server. You need to set up DNS inside your network and, if you want folks in the outside world to reach your website, you'll need to set up an external DNS as well. I'm going to cover INTERNAL DNS - if you don't know how to set up EXTERNAL DNS - reply or email me and I'll post those instructions.
Most likely you have already created Zones for you network...all you really need to do is create "Aliases" so that when you type "students.myschool.org" your web browser will know that site resides on IP address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.
If you've set up Zones then you already have a "Machine" setting that translates your server’s name to an IP address and vice versa.
All you need to do is create an "Alias" (CNAME) record for, in this case, "students". You’ll see the choices for types of records when you click the "Add Record" button.
There are only two fields to configure for a record: "Alias Name" - in this case "students" and "Destination" - in this case "servername.myschool.org". (You've already entered a machine record that says "servername" = 192.168.1.x.)
That's it for Internal DNS.
SERVER SIDE - FTP
Now you have to get iWeb to communicate with the webserver.
There are only three ways iWeb will communicate with webservers: MobileMe, Local Folder and FTP Server.
Local Folder is really only practical if you want to host a website on a laptop (I was blown away initially when I found out that all Macs had a built-in web server - how neat is that?). I think there are some very cool things teachers could do with configuration, and, of course, you wouldn't need to set up any web services on the web server, but that's for another discussion. You need to set up FTP services on the web server.
Turn on and enable FTP on your webserver.
You can leave the defaults for "General", "Messages" and "Logging". "Advanced" is the only thing you want to set. I set "Authenticated Users See:" to "Home Folder Only". I set the "FTP Root" to the same root folder in which I plan to store my web sites (/VOLUMES/RAID Array/WebServer/Documents). This setting sets that folder only to be accessible via FTP.
I would suggest returning to your DNS settings and adding one more "Alias". Set "ftp." to point to your webserver. Why? So folks can edit their sites from home (see below).
CAVEAT: If you are running FTP on other servers, make sure that the settings here do not conflict with the settings on the other servers. For example, I'm running FTP on my file server so that my scanners can communicate with it. However, I configure my FTP settings by machine name and NOT "ftp.myschool.org".
================================================
CLIENT SIDE - CONFIGURING iWEB
Now you have to configure iWeb so that it will communicate with your server.
Click on the "Site" icon so that "Site Publishing Settings" appears.
Publishing:
"Publish to:" = "FTP Server"
You can set the "Site name:" and "Contact email:" to whatever you want. But see below!
FTP Server Settings:
"Server address"=ftp.myschool.org (you could also enter in servername.myschool.org or the IP address. However, if you want folks to be able to work on the site from home, you will need to configure external DNS for that. If you use the IP address, you're out of luck for remote access to the site. (You can do it but it's beyond the scope of this discussion.)
"Username" & "Password" should be your user's network login credentials.
"Directory/Path" - this is important. Remember, you set your "FTP Root" to be "/VOLUMES/RAID Array/WebServer/Documents". If you leave this field blank then the website will be dumped into this folder. If you are only setting up one site, that may be OK. However I wanted to set up a "students" site folder, a "faculty" site folder and a separate site for our literary magazine.
THEREFORE: I have, in my ..../Documents folder (on the server), a "students" folder, a "faculty" folder, and a "litmag" folder.
SO...in my "Directory/Path:" field, I have "/faculty". That means the full path to this website is "ftp root/faculty" or "/VOLUMES/RAID Array/WebServer/Documents/faculty" (You don't need a trailing "/" character. iWeb will automatically append the folder for you user depending on what you entered in "Site Name:" in the "Publishing" area.
Website URL:
This is the root website depending on whether it is "students" or "faculty". Since iWeb will append the site name to this root website, I accomplished what I hoped to accomplish in this post (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12288561#12288561).
Faculty sites will be @ http://faculty.myschool.org/username. Students @ http://students.myschool.org/username. PERFECT!
iWeb is such a GREAT tool - NOW the kids can start using it!
I want to reiterate that this works for our school but it should work for you as well. There may be better ways to do this but it works for us.
Hope this has been helpful and you won't have to spend weeks trying to figure this all out by yourself!

OK...here's how we did it.
To get access to the website you created from outside your network there are a couple of steps.
First, you have to have a STATIC IP address from your ISP. If you have a T1 circuit, no problem...you usually get a couple of static IPs you can use. However, if you have a cable modem circuit, most likely you have a dynamic IP address which changes when you connect to the internet. Usually a static IP will cost a bit more because the ISP has to go through a couple of steps to set it up for you. But once you have the address, you now have a way for folks outside your network to connect with you.
(I’m also assuming that you use a router of some sort through which traffic flows out to the internet and that you aren’t using connection sharing or something like that.)
The next thing you need to do is have your new static IP address associated with the server on which you are hosting your website. You've probably already done that if your website works inside your network. However, you've associated a private ip (192.168.x.x, etc.) to your web server. That doesn't mean anything to folks on the outside because private IP addresses are just that - private - folks can't access them. (I won't get into VPN because that's a whole other topic.)
The way you associate your new static IP address to your web server is through some sort of dns application from your ISP. For example, we use TierraNet to manage our external DNS information. They have a web interface control panel that is very similar to the DNS interface for XServer. You can create CNAME records (aliases - other ways that folks can access your servers).
Basically you create an "A" (CNAME) record with a fully qualified domain name (e.g. webserver.myschool.org) and point it to your public IP address (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) which you just got from your ISP. It's going to take a while (24-48 hours) for this change to take effect. BTW, you can create as many “A” records as you want. For example mail.myschool.com and wiki.myschool.com could point to the same place.
You want to make sure that the fully qualified domain name you enter in the external dns utility matches the name you used when you created your internal dns records on your XServer.
OK...so now folks can get to your domain - but, remember, you have a private network IP scheme between them and you. You now have to tell your router that when web traffic arrives, allow it inside the network and direct it to your web server.
Let's say your public IP address is 205.100.112.50 and your web server is 192.168.0.5.
You have to create, in your router’s "Security Zone" (router companies call them different things) a couple of rules. Usually the first rule is: "Let everything inside the network get out to the web." You've probably already done that if folks inside the network can reach the internet.
You then have to tell the router to allow web traffic (port 80) into your network AND redirect that traffic to 192.168.0.5.
We use AdTran routers and they have a web interface which allows you to write "rules" affecting public and private traffic. Public is folks outside the network, private is folks inside.
AdTran calls them "Security Zones" and you modify those zones with policies.
So my "Policy" would say, in the above example, redirect traffic from my public IP (205.100.112.50) -> to my web server -> (192.168.0.5).
THEN you have to modify this policy with what AdTran calls "Traffic Selectors". You've said, OK, you can get in, but WHAT can get in?
The "Traffic Selector" is written to say: "Permit" "TCP" traffic from 205.100.112.50 only through Port 80. (That's the port that web traffic goes over. If you wanted a secure website, you'd add another traffic selector that opens port 443, for example.)
I'll tell you I'm no genius when it comes to this. I called AdTran and had them configure my router for me. I told them what I wanted done, they remoted into the router and configured it. But then I could go to the web interface and see what they did and then added rules later on when I wanted, for example, to get access to the network via Apple Remote Desktop or VPN into the network on my iPad.
I'd bet that your router has a maintenance agreement that includes this service and if it doesn't it should have.
I did find that I still had issues when I tried to set this up originally and it had to do with the ORDER of the policies. I can’t remember exactly what the issue was, but, effectively one of the policies highjacked traffic before the policy that I wanted got triggered. Simply moving them around in the list fixed that issue. So if you have this set up but still can’t access the site, check the order of your rules.
I don’t know if that helps or not, but I try to think about this stuff conceptually and then get someone to help me with the details. I work with this stuff so infrequently that I forgot how I did something 6 months or a year ago. I’m in the process of creating a wiki for the school which documents all this stuff, but that’s a major undertaking.
Cheers,
John

Exchange 2013 Autodiscover and Webservices virtual directories with wrong address

Hey people,
I have 3 2013 Servers
Server 1 CAS
Server 2 & 3 MBX
having a bit of trouble here - everything was working fine after migration (about 6months ago), and now mac users can't access e-mail.
If I try to access EWS page (https://webmail.domain.co.ao/EWS/exchange.asmx) , i get
Service
You have created a service.
To test this service, you will need to create a client and use it to call the service. You can do this using the svcutil.exe tool from the command line with the following syntax:

Help anyone?
Many thanks,

Hi Andrey,
Exchange Web Service in Exchange server configuration is working for all users in your Exchange environment, not just for one specific user. If you want to double make sure the EWS service in client side, we can directly access the EWS URL in IE of your
Windows machine, and see whether a proper XML file is returned. If so, then we can safely ignore the web service test result.
As for automatic signature application, do you mean
Add a signature automatically to every message? Please try to remove the signature and reset it again to check whether the issue persists.
Thanks,

Side server include coding problem with multiple websites

How can I use an address bar across multiple websites?
When I access my web sites all the sites are in separate folders in the account, ie site1 folder, site2 folder etc.
I placed the following code on a page in site2 
NavigationBar.shtm is in site1 folder which i think is referred to as the root folder.
When I tested the code in a page in site1 it worked but when I tested it in a page located in site2 the following shows up where I want the navigation bar: [an error occurred while processing this directive]
Is it possible for me to have a single ssi page in one location and have it apply to more than 20 websites all in separate folders?
If it is possible, what code do I need to insert into a page that is not in the folder that has the ssi page?
The test page that worked properly is http://gigharborrealestate.com/testssi.html
The test page that failed is http://gigharborwashington.com/testssi.html
One other question: The successful page online has all the code of the navigation bar file while locally it has  Should the page online show all the code instead of ?

Organizing multiple websites created by iWeb

I could do what I'm about to suggest via any text editor and some HTML code, but I'd like to aks the cognoscenti here about the feasibility of doing all of this entirely via iWeb.
I have (will have more) multiple websites on the same theme. I would like to create a master web page which will access these other pages via objects attached to links that access them.
Each website would be under its own directory structure. The main page would have the familiar index.html >> home.html, utilizing my domain name's link to index.html. However, in the various directories, each index.html produced by iWeb would be removed as it appears redundant if the linkage to a domain name is not required. The links in the master web page would call home.html in each of the sub-directories. Only the master web page would link to the domain name via index.html.
Sound reasonable?

Hi Rusty Rat
My first site in iWeb is called
Alaskadream (It is the welcome page)
I have 4 more sites in iWeb called
-ita (italian version)
-de (german version)
-en (english version)
-fr (french version)
So a site for each language
Total 5 sites (all displaying in iWeb).
when you get to my website entering the url http://www.alyeska.altervista.org/ you get redirected to the first page. This page is an index page (master) like you want to build it as far as I understand. So from there you choose which language (thus which site) you want to visit. I skipped the index file of the other sites (link to 'One of my pages' and 'FirstPageOfTheSite') so it's getting directly into the site. All done within iWeb. No need for any html editor.
Regards,
Cédric

Coldfusion 9 Standard w/Multiple Websites and Rackspace

Can I host multiple websites (i.e., with unique IP addresses) on 1 install of CF9 Standard?
I plan to purchase CF9 standard and install it on a Rackspace Cloud Server.
I have about 5 websites I want to port over from a shared hosting environment.
Thanks In Advance,
BlueSpoon

Josh, Carl, and Adam,
Thanks for trying to answer my question.
My question boils down to this: Can I host multiple websites (i.e., each with their own unique IP addresses) on 1 install of CF9 Standard on a single Cloud Site?
According to Carl, this can be configured in IIS so I believe the technical issue is resolved. So my next issue is if this would be ok with Adobe? Would I be breaking their licensing terms by having 5 (or even 20) sites using 1 install of CF9 Standard on a single cloud site?
My question arrose b/c reading this: http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/pdfs/cf9_feature_comparison_matrix_ue.pdf . I interpreted this as multiple sites can only be done wiith CF 9 Enterprise edition.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
Bluespoon
Slighty Off Topic But Relevant:
@Josh.. Not sure if you're an Adobe employee, but my questions are valid and legitimate pre-sales questions. I'm just an individual not a large corporation. So before I plunk down $2,000 for CF9, I need to know if I can legally (and technically) host multiple websites on 1 CF9 Standard license. I'm sure Adobe can afford to hire at least 2 guys to answer questions from budding entrepreneurs and small busineses. At the very least it's good customer service. Even Cisco has a dedicated support team for small business. It's ridiculous that I can't even speak (or even email) someone at Adobe to get at least "yes" or "no" answer.
Individual developers are the lifeblood of coldfusion. If it weren't for guys like Charlie Arehart, Dan Vega, Ray Camden, Ben Nadel, etc I assure you that the CF developer community would be much smaller. Last I checked, Univeristy of Wisconsin has not posted any CF tutorials or trips and tricks.
I've been a Coldfusion fan since 2005. And I've been familiar with it since 1998 while doing contract work with the Fed. So it's like a smack in the face that I am ignored once I'm ready to take the financial risk and pay $2,000 for my own copy of their server software. Developers have other options. Ignoring the devloper base is not the way to go. And that plain sucks. Adobe has really disppointed me. They've let me down.

Hello,
As I see this version of IIS comes as a default with Windows 7.
I tried to look how it can be downgraded to IIS 6 but no help.
So can you please tell me how we can user siebel web services in such case?
Is there any other web server component in siebel that we can use instead of IIS or any settings in IIS 7?
Thanks,
Harshal
