[Tilecache] Help with installing tilecache on IIS

[Linda_Rawson]

I just wanted to update this post.  I have repeated the installation of
tilecache on IIS multiple times.  Here are the steps that I took.

1.  Download and install Python
2.  * Follow "Using Python Scripts with IIS" to setup Python CGI for IIS.
  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/276494
3.  Not only add .py to the ISAPI extensions but also .cgi.  I added the
following:

     C:\Python25\python.exe -u "%s" "%s"   
     Limit to GET,HEAD,POST

4.  Add the EXACT same line to the web extensions and click allow.  Be
really careful if you decide to edit metabase.xml.  I fried mine and had to
rebuild it.  Make a backup before you do anything with this file.  You can
enter the right values without editing the file.
5.  Change the base=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\demo\tmp tag in the .cfg file.
