Author Upgrade CMS 2002 with Visual Stuido .NET 2003
Tom

2005-04-21, 5:49 pm

I have been using CMS 2002 with Visual Studio 2002 and Framework 1.0 for some
time now.

I'd like to upgrade my CMS VS2002 project to Visual Studio 2003 and use the
1.1 Framework. I'd also like to upgrade my OS from Win 2K Server to Win 3K
Server.

Is there a white paper that explains what allI have to do?

Thanks

Tom

Win 3K Server isn't out for a few years yet...

In the meantime, MCMS Service Pack 1A is what you need in order to support
Windows 2003, Framework 1.1 and Visual Studio 2003.

The installation documentation (the nearest thing to a White Paper on the
subject) can be found at
http://www.microsoft.com/cmserver/d...l_guide_sp1.htm

Get the Service Pack itself from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en

Glen:

Thanks for replying. I meant to write W2003K Server. Sorry for that.

Anyway, I will read the article and download the necessary files.

But, I was wondering if you or anyone else has upgraded from Win 2000K
Server to Win 2003K Server and 1.1 Framework?
I'm curious to hear of any "un-documented" gotcha's or road blocks (i.e.
web.config changes) that I need to look out for!

Tom.

Sure. The usual problems are:

1. Classic ASP is required by MCMS but is not by default installed on
Windows 2003
2. IIS 6 imposes much tighter HTTP upload limits which can affect operations
with large SDO files
3. IIS 6 by default blocks the posting of HTML to the server (kinda
fundamental to MCMS!) which you must turn off
(http://www.asp.net/faq/RequestValidation.aspx)
4. Windows 2003 by default is configured to allow access to the SCA/IIS
Admin Website via HTTPS only but you never have an SSL certificate lying
around when you need one.

Usually, it's pretty smooth and problems like the above are minor and easy
to fix. In fact most if not all of them are covered in the SP1A
documentation.

Glen:

On #1 are you saying I have to install Classis ASP on my Windows 2003
Server? Is this an option within Add/Remove Windows Components or do I have
to get ASP from some other source? If so, are their any confugration issues
and can Classic ASP run along side ASP.NET with no apparent problems?

Thanks

It's easy: just add the Application Server Role, then go into Add Remove
Components and add ASP and Server-side Includes. ASP and ASP.NET co-exist
amicably.

Glen:

Many thanks for your willingness to help. I got it!

Two more questions if you don't mind.

When you say " IIS 6 imposes much tighter HTTP upload limits which can affect
operations with large SDO files". what exactly do you mean? Or rather what
cnages are necessary to allow large SDO files to import? I ask this because
I have a very large site with lots of attachments that the users want to keep
forever!

Also, you said "Windows 2003 by default is configured to allow access to
the SCA/IIS Admin Website via HTTPS only but you never have an SSL
certificate lying
around when you need one." What does this mean? Do I have to turn
somehting off? We do use SSL here but not on the SCA Admin Site. So can you
tell me what I have to do?

Many thanks for all your help.

To remove the requirement for SSL from a web site, right click on the site
in IIS Manager, go to the Directory Security tab, click the 3rd "Edit"
button, and untick Require Secure Channel (SSL).

Just to add: when SSL is disabled the SCA cannot be accessed from a remote
machine.
