Has anyone got Domino 6.0.3 working with IIS6 on Windows Server 2003?

I have seen a few postings in this forum asking the same question a few months ago, but with no resolution. Has anyone actually got Domino 6.0.3 working with IIS6 on Windows Server 2003?

After painfully discovering errors in the Administration documentation, I have finally been able to get the WebSphere plugin to load and trace successfully, with IIS6 on port 80 and Domino on port 81, using the WAS4 files. (By the way, for anyone trying to do this, here’s a tip: the only way to get the WAS plugin to load successfullly is to “Run WWW service in IIS 5.0 isolation mode” - found under the “Service” tab in the “Web Sites” Properties box of the Internet Information Services Manager.)

In fact, on the URL “http://host/homepage.nsf” the trace in the WebSphere log tells me that “WebSphere will handle: homepage.nsf” becuase it has matched the URI and virtual host successfully.

However, I just get a standard IIS6 “The page cannot be found” error for this URL.

To verify, URL “http://host” returns the IIS home page, and URL “http://host:81” returns the Domino home page.

Further, URL “http://host:81/homepage.nsf?Unknown” obviously returns an exception in the Domino log “HTTP Web Server: Unknown Command Exception”. Then, it would be expected then that URL “http://host/homepage.nsf?Unknown” should also register the same error if Domino is actually receiving the HTTP request. This does not happen.

This would then indicate that the WebSphere plugin is not relaying the HTTP request to the Domino HTTP Web Server.

Has anyone else experienced the same problem?

My understanding was that Domino 6.0.3 was supported under Windows Server 2003, however, I have found absolutely no documentation or other help for this IIS6 / Domino6 / Win2003 combination. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you already configured this…

You need to add a new Web Service Extension in IIS System Manager called whatever you like, I called it sePlugins for consistancy. Add the 2 dll files from the websfear bin directory and set the extension to be allowed.

I have it working now.

I have configured IIS 6 on windows 2003 server with domino 6.5 server.

From Logs I can see requests going to domino server. also there is no error returned on browser windows. however, if typed “http://webgate.domain.com/intlogin.nsf” it prompts if I want to save intlogin.nsf as file. i.e. does not give effect as we are connecting to domino server.

any answer to this problem?
