Error installing SAP content server on Virtual Windows 2008 server

[Former Member]

I'm trying to install SAP content server on Win 2008 with IIS7.0 and receive following error message:

" An error occurred during the creation of the SAP content server website in IIS". I have installed all IIS 7.0 components per install guide and rebooted server to no avail.

My content server is running on a virtual server. Does anyone know of solution?

Note: There is a File Upload limitation in IIS 7 on Windows 2008 Server, IIS will reject any file that is

larger than 30 MB. This is a default limitation of IIS. You can increase the maximum file size by

setting the parameter maxAllowedContentLength in the file ApplicationHost.config.

The following command can be used to set the parameter from the command prompt, please

change the directory to Windows\System32\inetserv and then execute the command.

appcmd setconfig /section:requestFiltering/requestLimits.maxAllowedContentLength:150000000

The value is only an example, in this case the upload limit is set to 150MB.Server has to be restarted

after execution of this command.

Also, are you using Maxdb to store the files or is it a "flat files" content server ?

HTH.

Steve.
