IIS and teamsite

i didnt have IIS on the machine, when i installed TS 6.5...
when i was trying to preview /main/branch/subranch/edition/page.html
i found out that i have to installed IIS. i did and i configured it to run on 81 port i also change the default directory to Y:\. i rebooted...
also did:
use_iwproxy=yes
iwproxy_host= localhost
customer_webserver_host=localhost
iwproxy_port=1080
customer_webserver_port=81

when i try to preview the page: http://172.19.10.22/iw-mount/default/main/DORIS/doris_dev/EDITION/special_ed_0036/index.html

it says page not found!

i am trying to configure IIS to work properly

the installation doc says i can configure IIS using this:
>iw-home\iw-perl\bin\perl iw-home\install\tspostreboot.pl iw-home IIS

but when i run it it says that i dont have valid license for TS.. but i do have TS.lic and it s valid since TS is running... it seems that the script tspostreboot.pl is trying to read the license info from iw.cfg and it doesnt find in there...

is it a must, that i have to install IIS before TS?

any help with how to configure IIS to preview things in TS?

I believe tspostreboot.pl stopped working with 6.5 SP2 (the first TS version to use the TS.lic file instead of data being in the iw.cfg file) - I don't know if it's been fixed since. However you can probably look at the script, figure out what it is trying to do and run the commands manually.

i dont think the script is working... i checkd out, and it seems it reads info from iw.cfg... but i solved this problem.
i had to go to the IIS and "create" virtual directory and give it iw-mount alias and it is working fine now!

If you are manually configuring IIS, make sure tsimp_ user is created with valid passwd (if necessary). Also make sure this user is part of the 'Teamsite Web Preview' group.

If you are using server side includes you will also need to the isapi plugin.

If you are manually configuring IIS, make sure tsimp_ user is created with valid passwd (if necessary).

Also make sure the password conforms to any password rules (must be 8 characters, contain 1 number, etc)

There is no port 81 in the URL above. Customer web server (IIS) for previewing runs on port 81.

yes it runs on 81 but the url doesnt show it for some reason Smiley Happy

but it is working like that

If you are manually configuring IIS, make sure tsimp_servername user is created with valid passwd (if necessary). Also make sure this user is part of the 'Teamsite Web Preview' group.

Hi, i thought my IIS is working proprely but some how after some custimozation, i couldnt preview content anymore, it says access denied.. so i did what you said " created a user tsimp_servername and gave it a password, added it to teamsite web preview group, and now it is working...

can you please explain how did this work? by default the iis had IUSER_servername and it worked till after the interface customization...
this is on TS 6.5 w2k3 (IIS 6.0)
