Bentley GWP Server stops.

Hello Nikhil,

Also ensure this prior to begin GWP Installation. Bentley Geo Web Publisher requires the following IIS role services to be installed for its installation and proper execution:


Windows Server 2003 x64

Bentley Geo Web Publisher is a 32-bit application. On a 64-bit operating system some extra steps are required to make it work properly. IIS 6.0 can only work in one mode at a time, either 32-bit or 64-bit. In fact, the main IIS application is still 64-bit. The configuration only affects the "worker processes" that IIS creates to execute extension code and applications. IIS must be configured to start 32-bit worker processes for Bentley Geo Web Publisher to run properly.

This setting is in the IIS metabase at "W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64". You can use the following command to set it to 32-bit mode:

cscript %SYSTEMDRIVE%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1

Note that this change affects all IIS applications and extensions on this server. You will not be able to run 64-bit IIS applications and extensions once this change is done.

ODBC connections should be defined with the 32-bit panel since Bentley Geo Web Publisher is a 32-bit server. Oracle Spatial connections should also use the 32-bit Oracle client.

IIS 7.0 has a new modular architecture. Modules (role services) can be installed on a one to one basis. Bentley Geo Web Publisher requires the following IIS role services to be installed for its installation and proper execution:

[x] Web Server (IIS)
[x] Web Server
[x] Common HTTP Features
[x] Static Content
[x] Default Document
[x] HTTP Errors
[x] Application Development
[x] ASP.NET
[x] .NET Extensibility
[x] ASP Note: Only used for the delivered examples.
[x] ISAPI Extensions
[x] ISAPI Filters
[x] Security
[x] Basic Authentication
[x] Windows Authentication
[x] Management Tools
[x] IIS Management Console
[x] IIS 6 Management Compatibility
[x] IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility

Thank you.
