IIS03W/IIS03S/IIS03E/IIS03DC: Internet Information Server appliances - Implementation Design

Class Volumes

The boot volume of IIS03y is based on the corresponding edition of the WIN03y appliance (Windows Server 2003 R2 x86 for IIS03W and Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 for the rest). Below is a list of the software components installed on IIS (on top of WIN), most of them are from the Windows Install CD.

Installed components.

• Microsoft Application Server (Application Server Console, ASP.NET, Internet Information Services (IIS) - Internet Information Services Manager, World Wide Web service and Active Server Pages)
• Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
• MySQL ODBC driver v5.1.5
• PostreSQL ODBC driver 8.3.0400
• Cygwin perl-libwin32 0.27-1

Re-install Procedure

1. Create an application with only WIN03y in it
2. Branch WIN03y
3. Edit the class
   1. add a placeholder volume (name: content; mount on D:\)
   2. Update terminals:

      in	In	http
      db	Out	any
      fs	Out	cifs
      log	Out	cifs
      aux	Out	any
      net	Out	any
      mon	Out	cce

   3. mark net terminal as gateway
   4. change the class icon color to blue
   5. change the class name to IIS03y
   6. change the class description
   7. change class category to 'Web Servers'
   8. Add the following properties:
      • content_on_fs : type = string , values = on|off , dflt = off
      • docs_dir : type = string , filter = "^/[a-zA-Z0-9\\s/-_]*" , dflt = /
      • logs_enabled : type = string , values = on|off , dflt = off
      • logs_base_dir : type = string , filter = "^/[a-zA-Z0-9\\s/-_]*" , dflt = /
      • index_files : type = string , filter = "[a-zA-Z\\.\\s]*" , dflt = "default.htm default.asp default.aspx index.html"
      • max_connections : type = integer , min = 0 , max = 999999 , dflt = 0
      • idle_timeout_sec : type = integer , min = 1 , max = 3600 , dflt = 15
      • data_timeout_sec : type = integer , min = 1 , max = 3600 , dflt = 300

1. 1. Set resources

      Resource	!IIS03W	!IIS03S	!IIS03E	!IIS03DC	Default (x86)	Default (x64)
      CPU	2	4	8	32	0.25	0.5
      MEM	2G	32G	64G	64G	512M	1G
      BW	2G	2G	2G	2G	100M	100M

2. Create a volume and use it as a IIS placeholder
3. Save the application
4. Start the application in debug mode
5. Login the IIS using Applogic SSH-login and reset the Administrator password ("net user Administrator newpass")
6. Login the IIS using GUI and follow the drivers installation wizard
7. Stop the application
8. Add a temporary placeholder volume (name: cdrom; mount on E:\) and attach Windows Installation CD-image to it (see "vol import" help)
9. Start the application
10. Login the IIS using GUI and proceed with optional components installation:

       Control panel->Add or Remove Programs->Add or remove Windows components. 
       Check Application Server component and all components listed above in the "Installed components" section. 
       Uncheck all Application Server's components, which are not listed in there.
       

    Download and install perl-libwin32-0.27-1.tar.bz2
    Download and install dotnetfx35.exe
    On x64, additionally, download and install WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB942589-x64-ENU.exe
    Download and install mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.5-win32.msi
    Download and install psqlodbc_08_03_0400.zip
11. Copy the following files in IIS
    • /usr/bin/iismon.pl
    • /usr/bin/iis.pl
    • /etc/ccad.conf
    • /appliance/appliance.sh
    • /appliance/iis_init.sh
12. Setup permissions of scripts

       cd /appliance ; chown root *.sh ; chmod +x appliance.sh iis_init.sh
       cd /usr/bin ; chown root iis.pl iismon.pl ; chmod +x iis.pl iismon.pl
       

13. Enable IIS Metabase direct modification a. At the command prompt, type runas /user:Administrator "mmc %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc". Be ready to enter Administator's password. a. In IIS Manager, right-click the local computer, and then click Properties a. Select the Enable Direct Metabase Edit check box, and then click OK
14. Cleanup the boot volume of IIS

     
       using Explorer: remove C:\WINDOWS\$* and temporary folders (system and in the Administrator's home)
       start Internet Explorer and purge IE cache 
       find var/log -type f -exec rm {} \;
       rm -f tmp/*
       echo -n "" > etc/applogic_network.conf
       echo -n "" > etc/hosts
       echo -n "" > etc/applogic/appliance.desc
       echo -n "" > etc/applogic.sh
       

15. Stop the application
16. Save the application
17. Vol resize

on x86:

   vol resize IIS03y.boot size=3500M
   

on x64:

   vol resize IIS03y.boot size=4G
   

1. Move the class to the /proto catalog or any other catalog of your choosing.
