Problems with IIS 6/Tomcat 1.4.x on Win2003 server

Hi,
I am having problems with the following configuration.
Web Server: IIS 6
JSP/Servlet Engine: Tomcat 1.4.24
OS: Windows 2003 server
I am using the isapi_redirector.dll and associated worker, uriworkermap properties files etc. The connector does not seem to be working however and I keep getting 404 errors when IIS calls Tomcat. I've seen snippets on newsgroups here and there that suggest that there is no connector for ISS 6 yet.
So I am wondering...
- Have I made some mistake that is preventing me from getting it working?
- If not, is there a work-around to the problem?
- Is there any formal declaration from MS or Jakarta that indicates that this configuration is not currently supported.
Regards,
Paul Kelcey

Paul,
I haven't tried this myself but, since I've had so many problems with the isapi_redirector on other Windows versions, I tend to glance at any such threads on the Tomcat Users list.
A recent thread there stated that you "must allow the Web Service Extension to operate. Earlier versions of IIS did not require this."
As I said I don't use Windows Server2003 so can't vouch for it. But it worked for the user on the list.
Hope this helps,
Ken

Ken,
I'm not able to find the article you refered to and I'm hitting a brick wall again looking at the Web Service Extension script. From the information I've been reading, it implies that the IIS Manager can do whatever a script can do.
I'm just wondering whether you could give me some mroe information regarding the article so that I can find it. I did a search in this forum for the text "must allow the Web Service Extension to operate. Earlier " but to no avail.
Thanks again,
Paul Kelcey

Paul,
Try a google search for "tomcat win2003 isapi tatham". That's the easiest way to get the link to you that I can find. Nich Tatham is the person who submitted the solution.
But as I've said I haven't tried it myself, and I know all sorts of people have had problems getting it to work.
