hi All,

I am trying to install webconnector 5 to windows 2003 (IIS 6.0).

During the install I receive an errro " A SCRIPT virtual diresctory was not found"

I created a virtual script directory usind IIS administration interface.

But still the webconnector installer says the samething.

Any help is welcome

Did you apply execute right on your virtual directory

IMHO W2003 are not ready for the "prime time" on web.

Also none of the FM products is certified for W2003

But according to ISAPI it should work. There are many change in tha API but Microsoft say that W2000 web application should work with W2003

But you have to be carefull with this. And wait to see if WSC work well.

Also the security model in IIS is not the same that cause some headheack for installing software like Lasso, php or WSC

Is there any manual installation instructions?

We need this connector to our web server (iis6) and we are all so geting this same error message:

A SCRIPTS virtual directory was not found. you must configure a SCRIPTS virtual directory before filemaker wsc 5 - iss can be installed

We have made virtual directory. We have tryed many configuration compinations etc. Every time the same error message.

How can we get it to work on IIS6?

Who can help us?

what can we done with this?

Are there any options on this?

We have just spent a lot of money to our new web-servers (IIS6) and now we just need this connector to work out.

On IIS you have a main directory

/inetpub

with this folder

wwwroot

scripts

...

You need to map the script virtual dir in your root site folder to inetpubscripts

With execution privilege

You should also add FMPro as isapi filter to your website application configuration

I had the same issue, and mapping a virtual site to scripts directory fixed it right up.

Like I said in a previous post in this forum, WebConnector will not work with Windows Server 2003. You must wait until FM Server 7 comes out which will not require FMConnector because everything will be included. This will then work with Windows 2003.

Justin -

Are you sure FileMaker Server 7 has that functionality? I thought only FileMaker Server 7 Advanced would have it.

Can anyone give specific details about how they were able to get WebConnector to install under Windows Server 2003? It looks like some of you have had some sucess in doing this. But we can't seem to get it going.

Many thanks to anyone that would take the time to spell it out in detail.

Thanks
