The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft BackOffice Server 4.5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
The Internet Service Manager Web Administrator tool located in the BackOffice
Web Administrator tool does not connect to the Microsoft Internet Information
Server (IIS) Administration Web site, but rather to the IISAdmin virtual
directory for the default Web site. The IIS Web Administrator tool only allows
customers to modify and change the properties of the default Web site. It does
not display other Web sites on the server.
CAUSE
=====
The BackOffice version of the Internet Service Manager Web Administration tool
makes a connection to http://localhost/iisadmin. This connects on port 80 to the
IISAdmin virtual directory under the default Web site. Microsoft Windows NT
Option Pack installs an IIS HTML Administration component, but the IIS
Administration Web site does not reside on port 80.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this behavior, edit the active server page so that it connects to
the proper port. You must first determine the port number on which the IIS
Administration Web site is located.
1. Start the Internet Service Manager tool.
2. Right-click the Administration Web site, and then click Properties.
3. Click the Web Site tab.
4. Record the port number listed in the TCP Port field.
5. Edit the Webadmin.asp file located in the C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\Boadmin\Wedadmin
folder. Change the following line from
<TD ALIGN=CENTER><%=LinkButton(BOC_IIS, L_ISSManager_HTMLText,
L_WebAdmin_HTMLText, "Admin", "FFCC66", "333333", "808080", "60606A",
"/IISAdmin/Default.htm")%></TD>
to
<TD ALIGN=CENTER><%=LinkButton(BOC_IIS, L_ISSManager_HTMLText,
L_WebAdmin_HTMLText, "Admin", "FFCC66", "333333", "808080", "60606A",
"http://<servername>:<portnumber>/IISAdmin/Default.htm")%></TD>
where <servername> is the name of your BackOffice server and
<portnumber> is the TCP port number for the Administration Web site.
