Crystal Web component & IIS 4

Yahoo Archive
1
Here is a little know fact, but the web component installation in either
Crystal 8 or Crystal Enterprise 8 will stop all of the services for you
during the installation and then restart them once everything is installed.

In order to verify that IIS is properly working you can type in either
http://localhost <http://localhost/> or http://server_name
<http://server_name/> (being the name of the server)

Hope this helps,

Subject: [Vantage] Crystal Web component & IIS 4

I am trying to install the web server on my Vantage server running SBS 4.5
with IIS 4.0 installed ? Our network integrator loaded the OS up. How do I
verify that IIS is properly configured and running. I was told that entering
http://localhost <http://localhost> should display my intranet default
page. The Crystal 8.0
install instruction tell me to verify that the web server is stopped before
installing. I have no experience with IIS. Which service would I need to
stop in IIS ? (Default Web Site, Administration Web Site, or Web Proxy).
Would stopping this service prevent my clients from getting out onto the
internet? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Dan,
I wish I could help you there. I was in your shoes about 18 months ago. I opened the Crystal book, fumbled through... it worked with the sample reports in Crystal. Have you gotten that far? Do the sample reports work?

Getting ODBC to work was another trick because of some Progress snafus with the login process. Let us all know when you get there and get the looping login problem.

I performed my test installation of the web component server by stopping
(not disabling or changing to manual) the IIS Admin Service service and
numerous other services that looked web-related.

The crystal 8 web component install went fine. I would recommend doing this
installation while all other users are offline.
