To ensure the server is properly configured, please check the
following items:
NT Directories (Right-Click, Properties, Security)
R = Read, X = Execute, W = Write, FC = Full Control
| Directory: |
Account |
Permissions |
| C:\ |
IRWP_WEBPOSTER |
(RX) |
| C:\Program Files\WebPoster |
IRWP_WEBPOSTER
IUSR_machinename |
(RX)
(RX) |
| C:\Program Files\WebPoster\Databases |
IRWP_WEBPOSTER |
(RXW) |
Note: Installing to another drive is NOT recommended.
Virtual Directories (Internet Service Manager or MMC, Default
Web Site, RIS, Right-Click. Properties)
- Virtual Directory Tab: If, under the Application Settings,
the admin see's a button named CREATE then click on it. If not
just continue with the following: Name should be blank, "Run
is Isolated Memory Space" should be checked, and Permissions
should be set for Execute.
- Directory Security Tab: Have them click on the first EDIT button
on the screen. Of the three options checked here, only Anon access
should be checked. The admin should NOT change the account on
this screen.
DCOM (Start, Run, dcomcnfg, RISWSrvr.Application, Properties,
Identity Tab)
Set RWP's status to OFF before proceeding:
"This user" should be set to one of the following:
- If the machine is the Primary Domain Controller (PDC) then
regardless of any other aspects in the domain the account should
be set to: IRWP_WEBPOSTER
- If the machine is of any other roll (Stand-alone) then the account
should be set to MACHINENAME\IRWP_WEBPOSTER
If the password fields are blank then they need
to be set.
One of thing that can be done with NT 4 is to add IRWP_WEBPOSTER
to the group called MTS_IMPERSONATORS. The reason this group exists
is to give impersonator accounts that perform application tasks
on behalf of a "guest". enough permissions execute web
applications on the machine.
Go to: Start, Program Files, Admin Tools, User Manager for Domains,
User, Select Domain (for non-PDC's - this is the most common case),
"\\machinename", OK, Double-Click IRWP_WEBPOSTER, Groups,
Add MTS Trusted Impersonators, OK, OK, Close, Exit.
Registry (Start, Run, regedt32 (not regedit))
Editing the Windows Registry should
only be performed by those individuals who are comfortable doing
so. An error created in the Windows registry has the potential
to damage the operating system.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>RESEARCH INFORMATION SYSTEMS.
Give IRWP_WEBPOSTER full control over this key and all the keys
underneath it.
