We have a web server install in W2K IIS5, now we want to have our domino running on IIS with the same port number 80.

so our web server will be www.mydomain.com

and our web access server will be www.mydomain.com/mail

can anyone help me out with that? Thanks all

what do you omean by your “web access server”? do you only want Domino available to get to your mail? or are you going to integrate part of the domino applications with your web server?

what is the purpose here?

Hi Ruth

We have an existing web page as www.mydomain.com,we would like to check email through the web. eg www.mydomain.com/mail/mail.nsf making the domino server as a virtual directory. This is what I’m trying to do, I dont want to change the port number of the domino server.

Thanks for any advice

Subject: Here’s what you need to do

I have a single server running 2 network cards, IIS (on one network card) and 3-Domino server partitions all running HTTP, SMTP, POP3 seperately (on the other network card) using the same port numbers and happily without any problem.

I run this from one external ip address. All incoming connections are received by IIS and directed to the appropriate Domino server/partition.

Here’s some tips to get your configuration working:

  • Put 2 network cards in your machine…one for IIS to bind to and the other for your Domino server(s). Make sure each card has a unique ip address. Configure IIS to listen to the ip address on the one of the cards.

  • In my server document I always use DNS names for host name, net address. I then add the host name and the appropriate ip address to the hosts file on the server (c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) so the binding works correctly. Also if you change your ip address you only need to change it in one spot.

  • Add the following line to the Notes.ini file of your Domino server

TCPIP_TCPIPAddress=0,192.168.0.4:1352

(Where the first part of the variable TCPIP corresponds to your port name and the IP address corresponds to the appropriate ip address)

This is so Domino knows which network card/ip address it should listen on / bind itself to.

  • IIS uses ‘Socket Pooling’ which means even though you configure it to operate only on one IP address it actually binds itself to all ip addresses which causes problems with all your internet protocols. For details on disabling this click this link:

  • Configure Domino as per the Administration Help database to run with IIS.

Any incoming request with an NSF extension should now correctly get routed to and handled by the Domino server.

There’s some tricks to configuring the Websphere Plugin Configuration file so if you have any troubles email me directly for help:

That should do you!!!

Good luck.
