Today Ive Found That When BridgeServer Works Under IIS 6 On Windows Server 2003 It Cannot Connect To Remote

Monday, 23 August 2004

Today I've found that when BridgeServer works under IIS 6 (on Windows Server 2003), it cannot connect to remote database, even with all changes in machine.config file (as I did for IIS 5 on Windows 2000). I've spent some time to investigate this problem (thanks to Pawel Bojkowski for his persistency and assistance with tests) and I've found the following solution of this problem:

Open "Computer Management" tool ("Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management").
Expand "Services and Applications" node.
Expand "Internet Information Service (IIS) Manager" node.
Right click "Application Pools".
- Select "New" menu item.
- Then select "Application pool..." menu item.
- Specify Application Pool ID as "BridgeServer".
- Click "OK".
- Right click on "BridgeServer" application pool and then select "Properties" menu item.
- Select "Identity" tab.
- Change "Application pool identity" to "Configurable".
- Provide domain user name and password. This user should be member of IIS_WPG group and have enough access rights to the folder where VSS database is stored.
- Click "OK".
Expand "Web Sites" node.
Expand "Default Web Site" node.
Right click "BridgeServer" web application and then select "Properties" menu item.
- Change application pool to "BridgeServer".
- Click "OK".
Restart "Default Web Site".
