[mapguide-users] Botched Install on IIS 6

[Andy Morsell]

Yes, I am working in a development / production environment.  The only way
to copy layers, maps and layouts is to completely replicate the repository
from one machine to another.  Stop the mapguide service, zip up the
repository, copy it to the other machine, stop it's service, unzip, restart
the service.  
 
This is actually causing me problems as we speak.  I'm working on a new
install and config for a client on their server.  I'm finding authoring on
their box remotely to be a bit slow so would like to do it locally.  But, I
can't do this without completely replacing my repository with theirs and I
certainly do not want to copy my entire development repository to their
machine.  I suppose I could zip and move my current repository and then
create a new one for this project and swap out entire repositories as I need
to work on one project versus another........ Ouch.  
 
I believe that Autodesk is working on a way that we can package only
portions of repositories and then load them into another server's
repository.  I hope we see this soon.

Andy, & Jason.
 
Do you have two complete installs on MGO?  One for development and one open
to the web?  Are you just copying the repositories over when you have
created all the features?  
 
I've been trying to create a front end back end setup with no luck.  
 
Have you experimented with this type of setup?

Based on some discussions this morning, I changed a setting a in an IIS 6 /
.NET web extensions install.  This setting was to enable Integrated Windows
Authentication on the mapviewerajax virtual directory.  I then changed it
back so it was not enabled.  This was the only setting I touched in the
entire implementation.  After this, I could no longer login to the site via
Studio, but could through the PHP Admin tool.  I tried using the repair
option in the web extensions install, and that did not help.  I then
uninstalled the web extensions entirely and re-installed and got it working
again.  I confirmed that all of the virtual directories had been removed
from IIS by the uninstall prior to reinstalling. 

 After the reinstall, here are some things I noticed that I had to manually
fix before it work: 

*	The mapviewerdwf virtual directory was not created 

*	The application name for the mapguide virtual directory was mapagent


*	The mapviewernet virtual directory was not configured as an
application 


It looks like the installer has some major issues as others have noted some
of these problems with their installations as well.
