IIS jakarta filter (isapi_redirec.dll) with a red down-pointing arrow

[Rene Muniz <rm...@novell.com>]

Hi 

I am trying to setup tomcat 3.1 on IIS4.0  (NT4.0 sp6), I downloaded the binary  for isapi_redirect.dll and followed all the steps to the letter as they are in the Tomcat IIS HowTo. After restarting the IIS server I check the status of the filter (which I named jakarta, as adviced in the documentation) I don't see the "green up-pointing arrow" instead all I see is a "red down-pointing arrow", also the priority of the filter is "unknown". Consequently my attempts to have IIS serve the /examples context fail. 

Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem until I figured out that I put the ISAPI filter
in the wrong place.

Make sure that when you add the ISAPI filter, you add it to the web
server (in my case it was scparker_nt_t8k) and not to the Default Web
Site.  Right click on the web server and choose Properties.  Click the
Edit button next to the Master Properties.  This should bring up a
dialog box with a bunch of tabs at the top.  One of the tabs is the
ISAPI filters tab.  Click this tab.  This is where you need to add your
isapi_redirect.dll.

Once you have accomplished this, restart IIS and then look into the
isapi.log file.  I had a problem with one of my workers.  But the most
recent version of Tomcat 3.2 beta 4/5 took care of that problem.

Good luck,k
Steve

Hi,

A few possible areas:

- Watch for typos when editing registry entry. Even a smallest mistake and
the filter will not start
- It is not very clear from the documantation but you must re-start IIS. You
do it in Control Panel/Services/IIS Admin Service
- I also copied the isapi_redirect.dll from Tomcat 3.2 beta (this may not
make any difference)

I hope this will be of help
