The Genero Application Server and IIS

The Genero Application Server (GAS) is embedded within the ISAPI extension itself, and is directly loaded by an Internet Information Services (IIS) worker process. This improves performance and allows administration of the server with IIS tools.

The GAS is seen by IIS as a script engine, enabled to handle every request to the virtual directory bound to the GAS.

To take full advantage of this type of installation, you must create a new web site, or a new application or virtual directory on an existing web site. This document shows how to create and set up a virtual directory on IIS 6.0 and an application on IIS 7.x, both on an existing web site.

Note: The GAS must already be installed in a directory reachable by IIS. The GAS installation directory is referenced as FGLASDIR. See the appropriate installation guide for your installation for more information.
