 Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2012 10:23 am Post subject: GetWeb setup on Server 2008 |
 |
|
I am trying to setup getweb through Pagegate v5 on a 2008 server. I have tried the Pagegate IIS7 instructions and they don't work. Are there any instructions on how to set this up or can someone tell me how to do this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

1) Install IIS.
2) In Windows, open the Control Panel,
2a) Make sure you are using 'Classic View'.
3) In the Control Panel, open the Programs and Features.
4) click on Turn Windows Features on or off.
5) In Programs and Features list, select Internet Information Services .
6) Under Internet Information Services: World Wide Web Services -> Application Development Features, select CGI.
7) Click on 'OK' to install the CGI function for IIS.
To configure IIS:
1) In Windows, go to Start - Control Panel - Administrative Tools - IIS Manager
2) In the IIS Manger, go to (your server) - Web Sites - Default Web Site.
3) Right click on Default Web Site and select Add virtual directory:
4) Alias = scripts
5) Path = c:\inetpub\scripts
6) After you've created the Scripts Virtual Directory, left click on it to higlight it.
7) Select Handler Mappings.
8) In the Handler Mappings, select CGI-exe.
9) Click on Edit Handler Permissions.
10) Put a check Execute and click on OK.
11) In the IIS Manager, select the server object (top item in the tree).
12) Select 'ISAPI and CGI Restrictions' on the right.
13) Click on Add.
14) Path = 'c:\inetpub\scripts\webgate.exe'
15) Allow extension path to execute = checked.
Set the permissions on Scripts Folder:
1) In Windows, browse to the c:\inetpub\ directory on the hard drive.
2) Right click on the Scripts folder and click on Properties.
3) Go under the Security tab.
4) Click on Edit.
5) Click on Add.
6) Enter: users
7) Left click on Check Names, then left click on OK.
8) Highlight the 'Users' entry in the list.
9) Put a check in 'Modify' and click on 'OK' twice.
To configure PageGate's GetWeb Interface:
1) Run the PageGate Admin.
2) Go to Interfaces - GetWeb - Settings.
3) Set the Web Pages Path to: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\
4) Set the CGI Data Path to: c:\inetpub\scripts\ (allow it to be created)
5) The CGI URL depends on your webserver. Replace your-web-server with the IP, machine name or web address of your web server.
6) Put a check in Enabled and click Apply.
7) When prompted if you want to enable this for all existing groups and recipients, say yes. |

| I have tried all of this and I still cannot get it to work? I keep getting the IIS7 site and not the pagegate form. I have also restarted the site many times and rebooted the server.

Once you've gone through all of those steps, the only thing that remains is to tell PageGate who is and isn't supposed to show up on the paging site. The most common and easiest method of doing this is by creating a group dedicated to maintaining the website. Here's what you'll want to do:
1) Open the PageGate Admin.
2) Right click on Groups, left click on Add.
3) You can name the group whatever you want but bear in mind that the name of the group is going to be the trailing part of the URL people are going to go to. You'll likely want to keep the group name simple, something like 'paging' or 'webpaging'.
4) Under "Enabled Services" make sure that ONLY GetWeb is checked and click on Apply to add the group.
5) Click on the + next to the new group's name and go to the WebPage sub-section.
6) Select the guilist.htm file from the templates dropdown list.
7) Put a check in "Group List" and "Full Names".
8) Click on Apply.
Then go to the Members section of the group. Anyone that you add as a member of the group will show up on the site. Anyone who isn't a member of the group won't.
After adding the members to the group, you should now be able to browse to the webpage by using this URL structure:
http://your-web-server/groupname
So, let's say that your webserver's machine name is server01 and you named the group webpaging. This would be the URL you would go to:
http://server01/webpaging/ |

You can do it in one of two ways.
1) Open the guilist.htm file in the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\templates\ folder and manually modify the HTML code to insert the image reference you want
2) You can go back to the PageGate admin and go to the Groups - yourgroup - WebPage section, then enter the file name of an image that exists in the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\images\ folder in the Image1 field. |

| When you submit the message and it returns that URL, does it display anything in the browser? An error, a return value, anything? Or is it just a blank page? |

| That sounds like a fairly typical page not found error which means that IIS isn't allowing the CGI parameters to be passed to the CGI executable, likely because the CGI executable is unavailable. Double check the permissions of the c:\inetpub\scripts\ folder and make sure that the virtual directory association is there in IIS. If it is, have one of your IIS admins double check everything because if the virtual directory is there and the permissions are set properly, the submit should be able to find the webgate.exe CGI executable. |

I am very familiar with IIS6 and 7 but I had my web folks take a look at the site and they they think there is something else that has to be done or missing files. I had them run through the setup instructions and they stated everything looked good per the instructions.
So, they couldn't fix the site either. Bummer... I was hoping to get off the client and on to the web but it looks like I will have to continue to use the client because I can't get the website working.
I still get: http://local/scripts/webgate.exe. after I try to send a page to me.
Any other suggestions?

| Just to verify, you're not actually seeing the literal word local in the URL, right? |
