Hi Guys,

This is not related to DBISAM at all (I hope!) - except for the app
is build with it.

I'm having a problem setting up an isapi dll, build with Delphi 5
under IIS. It works fine on my computer with WinXP Professional
(with no security restriction, i.e. with default security settings),
but it wouldn't run on Win2003 server. I create Virtual Directory
for the folder with webapp.dll. I set it for Anonymous access (tried
all possible settings, nothing changes). Set to allow
scripts and executables.
http://localhost/myweb/wepapp.dll - returns 404 error.
When I turn running scripts & executables OFF, the above URL downloads
the dll file - so the file itself is in place.
I'm guessing there's a security problem of some sort, like:
1. IIS user has no permission to see or run that file
2. IIS user for anonymous account has no permission to see or run that file
I seemed to have checked both conditions and added those users to
the list, but that didn't help it.

Can this have to do anything with domains? The computer is part of
domain, however all the accounts used is IIS setup are local accounts
for that computer. The computer is not a domain controller.

The problem is I'm not an admin for that network (and I have very
little experience administrating anything, cause I'm a programmer)
and the admin has no idea how to setup IIS.
I tried adding all relevant users to allow them executing things
from that folder. Nothing helps. I'm still getting 404 error, but
the file is there. This happens with any my isapi dll, even the most
basic ones with only "Hello World" response. I didn't try running
their standard isapi, like shtml, asp, etc.

I'd very much appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Michael

Hi Micheal,

Check if "All Unknown ISAPI Extensions" are allowed.

1. Open the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager console from the Administrative Tools folder.
2. Select Web Service Extensions in the left pane.
3. In the right pane "All Unknown ISAPI Extensions" should have Status "Allowed".

Great! Don't forget Ismail Esmail's suggestion when you deploy to the production server
