Getting preview mapping right in iw.cfg

Anip

Hi all,

We're running Teamsite 6.1 (SP1) on Windows and I'm having problems previewing. This is probably an elementary re-mapping question but I've bamboozled myself with all the doco references to iwproxy_remap, iwproxy_preconnect_remap, iwproxy_preconnect_redirect etc etc and am not sure which part I've got wrong.

The file I'm trying to preview is an asp file which is trying to load xml and xsl, however it's not recognising the location of the files - using Server.Mappath("/xml/navigation.xml") resolves to 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\navigation\navigation.xml' rather than the "Y:" drive.

From reading this https://support.interwoven.com/library/manuals/teamsite/html/610/ts.61.admin.win/proxy6.html#wp998290 and the next page it looks like I just need to set up iw.cfg to tell Teamsite where the document root is. In my iw.cfg I have the following, but it doesn't seem to be recognising the correct location of my workarea's root when previewing:

   [iwproxy_remap]
   global_default_map=/
   Just4Staff=/default/main/Internal/Just4Staff

   [global_default_map]

   [Just4Staff]
   _docroot=/web
   /templatedata/=/templatedata/

I can post the full iw.cfg if anyone needs it.

thanks in advance and Happy Christmas
Ani

Just in case anyone out there has suffered a similar period of sheer frustration with this, and like me found all sorts of forum posts rather than the solution I'll post what I found in case it helps.....

I narrowed the problem down to being only server-side references that weren't re-writing, while client side references such as images and stylesheet all worked. This hadn't been immediately obvious as the page was just throwing server-side errors and not getting a chance to serve any html whatsoever.

I still couldn't load my xml and xsl files as Server.Mappath simply wouldn't recognise the root and resolved to the wrong location. After hours of frustratingly jiggling iw.cfg around and twisting my brain with all sorts of regex nightmares I tried to see if a virtual SSI reference would work, when it didn't I had something more concrete to search on and finally came across the following in my TeamSite training manual.

Windows:  SSI Preview Support
TeamSite includes an SSI redirector module .dll file, iwproxy_isapi.dll, which can be installed 
into IIS to provide support for previews of SSI's via the TeamSite proxy.
To install, use Internet Service Manager:
 * Open the default web site's properties and open the isapi Filters tab
 * Add a new filter, using any filter name, and browse to iw-home\lib\iwproxy_isapi.dll to fill in the executible field
 * You may also need to adjust the URL cache size

Now I don't know if this is elementary stuff or if it should have been done at install but I thought I'd post it because it took me a long long time to get here
