Confluence Docs 3.0 : Connecting Confluence with IIS 7 This page last changed on Nov 04, 2009 by rhartono. This documentation is part of the Setting up Confluence with IIS documentation. On this page: Setting up Confluence with IIS 7 Known Issues 64 bit IIS Double Escaped Character Troubleshooting ## Setting up Confluence with IIS 7
| The configuration with IIS web-server is not supported by Atlassian support. The instructions below are for information only, and have been tested in this specific setup.
13. After you have installed IIS 7, you need to configure the Tomcat Connector. Then follow these steps: Open IIS 7 Manager Navigate to your host. In the picture below, your host would be the one highlighted in blue just below "Start Page". Double click on the `ISAPI and CGI Restrictions` icon On the right hand panel, click on Add.... Click here for picture Point the path to your `isapi_redirect.dll` file and give it a description eg. tomcat. Give it an execute permission by clicking on the `Allow extension path to execute` tick box. Now, click on the `Default Website` and double click `ISAPI Filter`. On the right hand panel, click on Add... and point to your `isapi_redirect.dll` file, give the filter a name (eg. tomcat) Navigate to your Default Website again. Right click on `Default Website` to create a virtual directory and name it `jakarta`, point this to your `c:\ajp_iis` directory. Click on the newly created virtual directory jakarta and double click `Handler Mappings`. Click on `Edit Feature Permissions` and tick the execute permission. Add another virtual directory and name it `confluence`. Point the physical path to `c:\confluence`. Set a context path in Confluence's xml configuration. For example, if you are using Confluence Standalone distribution you need to edit `<confluence install directory>/conf/server.xml` and edit your context path to this:
        <Context path="/confluence" docBase="../confluence" debug="0" reloadable="false">
    | The reason for creating this virtual directory is so that requests without the trailing slash still work. For example, if you are deploying Confluence under http://www.example.com/confluence/ without the virtual directory, then requests to http://www.example.com/confluence will fail.
Finally, navigate to your host context again and do a restart. Confluence should now be accessible via http://localhost/confluence ## Known Issues #### 64 bit IIS If you are running a 64 bit OS, please use a 64 bit version of the Tomcat IIS connector. Customer submitted solution: If you must use a 32 bit IIS connector, you can do so by clicking `Application Pools > Advanced Settings > Allow 32bit applications`. #### Double Escaped Character IIS 7 blocks double escaped character sequences by default. This will cause problems with Confluence pages with spaces. To fix this, please see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942076. ## Troubleshooting The information in the Windows System Event Log can be useful for troubleshooting, followed by the `c:\ajp_iis\ajp_plugin.log` and your confluence logs. When requesting support for IIS configuration problems, please include: A zip of your logs directory A zip of your `c:\ajp_iis` directory Your `conf/server.xml` file ##### RELATED TOPICS JIRA's documentation on Configuring IIS with Tomcat, including how to integrate both Confluence and JIRA in the same IIS server. The Troubleshooting section there is relevant to Confluence as well as JIRA.
