Hello,

I have question regarding on connecting the jsp file to postgreSQL database.
Before this I work on my project on my own PC and it’s work successfully. But, when I copy this project to windows server 2008 and launch it, it’s error. The html page is appear when I type the url http://www.abc.com for example, then I need to login the username and password. After send the data, it failed and had http error 405. I had install the postgres in server but still not works.

What’s the problem actually?

Looks like the URL (address + port) in the Isapi Redirector configuration for Tomcat is incorrect.

Isapi Redirector is at least correctly registered on your system.

I am getting:
Service Temporary Unavailable!
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

Jakarta/ISAPI/isapi_redirector/1.2.31 (1026297)

Any idea what that might be?

Rizwan,

I was able to get everything running, with the Tomcat logs showing clean worker logs and such, the example site seems to work fine, but for the life of me, I can’t get it to load any index.jsp pages. Have you got this working?

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi guys, I was also having issues with this configuration. I was also getting 500 and 404 pages. but finally I got it to work by using following configurations:

I have windows 7, IIS 7, Tomcat 6.x, JDK and JRE 6.

make sure that you permissions for the DLL file.
make sure that your virtual directory is pointing to the same directory where you have your isapi_redirect.dll.
make sure that your tomcat is running.
make sure that you have allowed isapi_redirect.dll in the “isapi and CGI restrictions”
make sure that *.jsp is enabled in “handler mappings”
make sure that “isapi_redirect.dll” is “enabled” in “ISAPI filters” under “default web site”
make sure that there are no typos and all the paths are correct in you *.properties files.

There is also another very good guide with screen shots at http://www.iisadmin.co.uk/?p=72

if you still cant get it to work then tell me your exact problem, I will be happy to help you, happy coding !

Right-click the default website again, and this time add a “Virtual Directory” called ‘jakarta’ (without the quotes!) that points to $CATALINA_HOME/bin/ (the same place as isapi_redirect.dll). Give it ‘execute’ privileges when prompted. You need to set permissions on the the files we’ve just modified/created in order for the filter to work.

IIS 7 Windows Server 2008 – Does anyone have an update?

Thanks for the great article!

Just a couple of notes that helped me out. I’m running Windows server 2003 sp1.

I had to rename isapi_redirect-xxxxx.dll to isapi_redirect.dll; that wasn’t super obvious in the installation notes.

Restarting IIS was not enuff for me, had to do a system reboot and then everything worked correctly.

thanks again!

Hey suv,

The way that i have corrected all the issues is to modify the above instructions a little. If you only have a single site the ones above will work fine. However we have 9 sites in our IIS configuration. Where the above instructions refer to Default Website you substitute your website. You will need to configure the jakarta virtual directory under that site as well as the virtual directory specific to the application.

For example we have

Employee SS (website)
>jakarta (bin folder)
>webapp01 (webapp folder)

Be sure to install the isapi_redirector on that web site as well and not on the default one.

Testing ours on the server fails but works fine live.

Could be wrong but is what works for us.

Kind Regards,

Phil

Thank you ! This was the first reference that start to finish enabled me to get Tomcat working with IIS. The biggest piece I was missing was I didn’t have sample workers.properties files and uriworkermap.properties to work with.
Thanks for the clear instructions!
