The Default Web Site of the IIS server is used as examples in this section. You can choose another existing Web site, or create a new Web site.
Run the Appeon setup program and install PowerServer Web Component to the Web root of the IIS Web site, for example, the Web root for the Default Web site is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot.
If you have installed PowerServer Web Component to another location, then you should copy the entire "appeon" folder from the installation directory of PowerServer Web Component to the IIS Web root.
Since IIS works only on the Windows platform, you must get redirector plug-ins from WebLogic running on Windows (not UNIX or Linux). For example, if you plan to use IIS as the Web server while PowerServer is installed to WebLogic on Sun Solaris, you must copy the redirector plug-in from WebLogic on Windows to the IIS Web server.
-
Copy the iisproxy.dll and iisforward.dll files from the %WL_HOME%\server\bin\ folder to any location of the IIS Web server. If IIS and WebLogic reside on the same machine, you do not need to copy them.
-
Open Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Internet Services Manager.
-
Right click Default Web Site and select Properties from the popup menu.
-
On the Home Directory tab, select Scripts only from the Execute Permissions dropdown listbox.
-
Click the Configuration button in the Application Settings.
-
Click the Add button to add the iisproxy.dll file. Input .wlforward in the Extension field. Click OK to return to the Web Site Properties window.
-
On the ISAPI Filters tab, click Add, and install iisforward.dll as an ISAPI filter. Click OK.
-
Restart IIS for the new configuration to take effect. Go to the ISAPI Filters tab and verify that iisforward.dll has been successfully loaded (indicated by a green arrow pointing upward, while a red arrow pointing downward indicates that the DLL file was not successfully loaded).
Create the configuration file "iisproxy.ini" in the directory where the iisproxy.dll file is located.
If PowerServer is installed to a WebLogic cluster, add the following script:
WebLogicCluster=192.0.3.140:7001,192.0.3.141:7001 WlForwardPath=/AEM,/servlet ConnectTimeoutSecs=20 ConnectRetrySecs=2
If PowerServer is installed to a single WebLogic server, add the following script:
WebLogicHost=192.0.3.141 WebLogicPort=7001 WlForwardPath=/AEM,/servlet ConnectTimeoutSecs=20 ConnectRetrySecs=2

Under the installation directory of PowerServer Web Component (for example, C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\appeon), there is an IISSupport folder.
-
Copy the appeoncache.conf file from the IISSupport\conf folder and the AppDataBuf.dll file from the IISSupport\modules folder to the same folder, for example, C:\Inetpub\scripts.
-
If necessary, adjust the cache size in the appeoncache.conf file (The unit is MB).
