Finishing the installation

After you have finished the installation, you need to create a configuration file and verify that your installation and basic configuration were successful.

To finish the installation:

  1. Create a file called isapidispatch.ini in the application root directory; a sample file can be found in the FGLASDIR\etc directory.
    • The options section of the file must contain at least the as-directory property.
    • The value of the as-directory must be set to FGLASDIR.

      See GAS ISAPI Extension configuration file for details about the content of this file.

  2. The GAS ISAPI Extension should be ready to use. Open a web browser and enter the URL to the "demos.html" page. The URL should look like:
    http://<server>:<port>/<virtual directory>/demos.html
    For example, if the server is "localhost", the port is the default port, and the virtual directory is "gas", then the URL should be:
    http://localhost/gas/demos.html

    If everything is correct, the "demos" page should be displayed; otherwise, see Troubleshooting installation.

Note:
  1. All requests having an URL that begins with the virtual directory name, for example "/gas/", will be served by the GAS ISAPI Extension. Files present in the application root directory will not be served by IIS. There is no way to configure IIS to change this behavior. Therefore, the isapidispatch.ini file should be the only file present in the application root directory.
  2. While IIS allows you to map more than one wildcard application to a virtual directory, the GAS ISAPI Extension should be the last one of the list, as it will not forward URLs to other ones.
  3. As in the standalone GAS, the GAS ISAPI Extension serves application resource files and static files, such as demos.html.
