Working with Magic xpi and IIS 7 (Magic xpi 3.x)

The steps below show how to configure IIS 7 (Windows Vista, Windows 2008, and Windows 7) for working with Magic xpi.

Step 1

While installing IIS 7, the "CGI / ISAPI executions" should be selected. If they were not selected while installing, you need to select them.

1. Go to the Control Panel.

2. Open the Programs and Features window.

3. Select the Turn Window features on or off option from the left side of the window.

4. In the Window Features dialog box, go to Internet information Services -> World Wide Web Services -> Application Development Features and select the CGI and ISAPI Extensions options.

Step 2

After the required aliases for Magic xpi are set, you need to:

1. Open the IIS manager (type inetmgr in the Start / Run menu or got to Start -> right click on Computer and select Manage ->Services and Applications ->Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager).

2. Go to the root (which would be the computer name) in the Connections window.

3. Double click on the Handler Mapping option.

4. Under the Disabled list, CGI-exe and ISAPI-dll are displayed.

5. Right click on one of them and select Edit Handler Permission.

6. In the Edit Handler Permissions dialog box, check the Execute check box. Both the CGI and ISAPI option should be added to the Enabled list.

7. Restart the IIS and load Magic xpi.
