Iis?

Where can I get IIS 5.0? Is it free or do I have to pay? Sorry, I live in the Linux world and this is all new to me.

Thanks,
Tom

Ok, I got IIS installed, now I get a generic error. I attached a screenshot of it.

This is just a plain vanilla install of win2k with IIS 5. With service pack #4 and all the security updates.

Could you post here information from Windows Event Log about installation error?

1. Open Windows Run dialog (press 'Start' button on desktop, then choose 'Run...' menu item; or press 'windows+R').
2. In run dialog enter 'eventvwr' (without quotes) and press enter. 3. You'll see 'Event Viewer' window. Choose 'Application', find log entries from SiteBuilder installer and post it here please.

This string is about manipulating IIS. Please check, that you could manually create site in IIS and successfully run them. Also check if port 2006 (it's default port) isn't busy. If it is - you could set any other value in custom installation mode.

I created a database named Sitebuilder and used it for the install and it installed this time.

But, now when I go to the Admin page, I get this:
Server Error in '/SiteBuilder' Application.

This command give access to IIS Metabase:

aspnet_regiis -ga MachineName\AccountName

Put the application pool identity instead of MachineName\AccountName

Sitebuilder works now, here is what I did:
C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>aspnet_regiis -ga sitebuilder\ASPNET

Start granting sitebuilder\ASPNET access to the IIS metabase and other directori
es used by ASP.NET.
Finished granting sitebuilder\ASPNET access to the IIS metabase and other direct
ories used by ASP.NET.

But, now when I try to add the new sitebuilder to my Linux Plesk 8.1, it says:
Could not connect to specified SiteBuilder server

But I can get to it with the URL I'm putting into Plesk. Both Wizard and Admin work fine. But Plesk can't communicate to it. (from the Plesk box, I can ping and telnet to port 80)

http://sitebuilder.[mydomain]/SiteBuilder/ correct?

Sitebuilder remote admin should be accessed here: http://sitebuilder.domain.tld/ServiceFacade/3.2/ by default (try to check it, for example, by running following request in browser: http://sitebuilder.domain.tld/ServiceFacade/3.2/PlanWebService.asmx)
I understand that Sitebuilder is running on 80 port on your server.

As for Sitebuilder for Windows and Plesk for Linux integration I can't say for sure if it will work correctly. As I know there are no significant differences in API for Sitebuilder 3.0.2 for Linux and Sitebuilder 3.2 for Windows but such integration was not tested. So theoretically it should work but can't guarantee that everything will work correctly. As for Plesk for Linux and Sitebuilder for Linux integration I used it a lot and can say that it works properly.
