Content Server 6.40 Presents a Save As dialog for ContentServer.dll file

[Former Member]

hi All

we have installed successfully the content server 6.40 on a windows 2008 with iis 7 environment. The installation wen successfully with no errors. however when we run a test by calling the URL http://<server>:<port>/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo URL, instead of getting a response, we are getting a save as file dialog to save the dll file. Also, after the installation, even with the install website tick checked, the website was not installed. we had to do the installation of the website manually for the port.

With content server 620 on windows 2000 this was never the case

if anywone has an idea on how to resolve the issue, please advice

Regards

Ronny

GOT the Solution

to anyone else who could be going through the same issue, see if the solution below solves your issue

The website should get created if all the roles in IIS 7.0 are installed. Therefore, please try to install the IIS 7.0 by selecting

all the roles followed by installation of the SAP Content Server. By doing so, websites should be created automatically.

In the IIS 7.0, all the roles are not selected during the installation by default. Please make sure all the below roles are included and IIS 7.0 is installed, as per the installation manual for the Content Server on Windows 2008:

Roles needed in IIS 7.0.
