Steve WoolstenhulmeApache or IIS?
on Mon, 22 Aug 2005 17:34:21 -0500
I have a web server running IIS.  I just acquired WAA and want to install it 
properly.  I don't particularly want to install Apache, since I already have 
IIS and would prefer not to have the port conflict issues.  Is there a trick 
to getting WAA running without Apache?  In case you didn't guess already, I 
haven't figured out how to get mine working yet.

More detail:

When I launch StartWAA.bat I get the demo packages to load ok (see log 
below).  When I try to run the sample http://localhost/misc/myfirst.htm and 
enter my name and click the "Send it" button I get HTTP 405 Resource Not 
Allowed error.  Any suggestions???

I'm getting closer and closer.  Now the error message references a file that 
I can't find anywhere in the installation.  At least it appears that I'm 
completing the connection from http through the gateway to the application. 
Now to figure out where it's calling waapwr.gif.  No reference in the .prg 
or the .htm code.  Hmmm...

Have you considered Xb2.NET?

No installation hastles with IIS, WAA, gateway, etc... 
Xb2.NET makes your Xbase++ app the web server, see here:

Steve,
IIRC (switched to XB2:NET several months ago) you have to copy the file 
waapwr.gif into your webroot-folder!
It is used inside the standard :footer()-function.
Overload the function with your own if you want to have your own footing on 
the pages.

HTH,
Martin
