[mapguide-users] Botched Install on IIS 6

[Chris Tallman]

Maybe I'm looking at this wrong but when you install the webextensions
you can tell it where to find the map server by IP address.  This to me
should mean one could have the MG server on a computer separate from the
web services.  Am I wrong, or is this something that isn't fully
functional at this point?
 
I thought I was getting pretty close to getting this solution working
and I started running into the errors I posted earlier.  
 
I guess a solution like this wouldn't completely solve the problem of
having a remote client.  My goal was to have a non-production server
host the MG server and maps then have our web server host the web
extensions exposing the maps to the web.

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.
