[RESEND]: RE: It didn't work

[Marc Saegesser <ma...@apropos.com>]

Oops.  This time I've included the attachment.

Sorry, I didn't realize you were running 3.1.  I've never configured that
version with IIS, only the 3.2bx versions, so my configuration might not
match yours exactly.  I've attached a sample .reg file that will configure
the ISAPI redirector registry entries assuming that Tomcat is installed in
c:\tomcat.  You'll need to edit the file to adjust the paths based on where
you've installed tomcat.  If the redirector can't open either the
worker_file or worker_mount_file the filter will fail to load (red arrow)
and you'll see an error message for the W3SVC in the system event log.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much Mark.
I have all the stuff setted as you descriped but I'm using a redirector of
96kb
(the one for 3.1) but it still wont work.
I think I've done the registry settings wrong, I've double checked it but
couldn't find any thing wrong with it. If have an NT server running tomcat
with
IIS would you please send me a snippet of the specified registry key so that
I
could make a checkup.
BTW I couldn't find the iis_redirect.reg-auto file you specified could you
please email a copy of it to me on nasr@nasrit.net??????? It will be a great
help for me and my collegus!
