I'll sound like a broken record with this comment ;-), but what you're looking to do is connect your servlet container (Tomcat presumably?) and IIS, not OpenBD and IIS 6. Just making sure that's clear because there is some decent information out there about connecting Tomcat and IIS 6. OpenBD is a Java webapp that runs on Tomcat, but it's Tomcat that communicates with your web server. http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/webserver_howto/iis.html > I thought it would be > great to get some directions made up for it since it hasn't been done > yet, but I keep hitting a road block.

Based on what Jordan said about the installer my understanding is that IIS 6 is a completely different animal from IIS 7 and unless there was a big demand, IIS 6 probably won't be supported by the installer he built. > I found quite a few websites that discuss making the > connection.

I haven't tried it personally so hopefully someone with more Windows savvy can jump in. Just throwing this out there--is there a reason you have to use IIS? You can get things running with Apache on Windows in no time, so just remember that's a great option if we can't get the IIS 6 bit sorted. -- Matthew Woodward [email protected] http://mpwoodward.posterous.com identi.ca/Twitter: @mpwoodward Please do not send me proprietary file formats such as Word, PowerPoint, etc. as attachments. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en official site @ http://www.openbluedragon.org/ !! save a network - trim replies before posting !! -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
