Has anyone run into this - i followed the technote for installing waa with 
iis7 and everything was going fine until one of the very last steps. after 
adding the script map so that requests for cgi-bin/waa1gate.dll go to 
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\waa1gate.dll, the test for:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/waa1gate.dll

results in a 404 error instead of a waa gateway error, and the 404 error 
details show that it is looking for waa1gate.dll in the physical path 
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin instead of C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv

Any suggestions are appreciated.

thanks in advance,

les

Hi Les,

The 404 error message may occur on Windows 64 Bit operating systems as the
gateway is a 32 Bit library. The IIS on 64 Bit Systems is not able to start
32 Bit workers "out of the box". For this the Web server needs to be configured
accordingly.

Please refer to following documents that describe the proper configuration:


http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/13f991a5-45eb-496c-8618-2179c3753bb0.mspx?mfr=true

and

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/13f991a5-45eb-496c-8618-2179c3753bb0.mspx?mfr=true

As buttom line you need to go to:

%systemdrive%\Inetpub\AdminScripts

and start a configuration script as follows:

cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32BitAppOnWin64 “true”

Following issues arise here:

1) The aspect "64 Bit IIS" is not covered in the tutorial.
2) We need to have a 64 Bit gateway

Hope this helps.
