Specifically with getting it to work on a Windows 2008 server and IIS 7. Yeah, I know, JRun is a product that is pretty much on life support, but it’s what I’m stuck with at the moment.
Long story short - we have set of web servers at work (Windows 2003 servers) that use JRun to deploy a number of web sites for our customer. We are in the process of migrating to set of Windows 2008 virtual servers and I’ve been tasked with trying to get a test web server up and running.
I am not a server expert, and while I do have quite a bit of Java experience I don’t have a lot of web development experience - mostly what I work on are our back-end processes. I do have some familiarity with how JRun is set up in our current server configuration but am running into a roadblock trying to get it set up on one of the new servers.
I think part of the problem is my unfamiliarity with IIS, plus the fact that the old 2003 servers have IIS 6 and the new servers have IIS 7. They are different-looking enough that I can’t simply look at how the old server is set up and translate that to how it needs to be on the new server.
I can get one of our test websites to deploy under JRun correctly but when I try to get to it through IIS I keep getting a 404 not found error. So as best as I can tell it’s a communications issue between JRun and IIS that’s holding me up.
I realize this is kind of sketchy description of the problem. I’d be happy to provide more details about the setup if there is anyone out there who has been through this and has some idea how I might be able to get this to work.
I should add “need answer fast” - I’m supposed to have this working by the end of the week. I’ve already been struggling with it for over a week and am getting absolutely nowhere. Thanks in advance.
