Microsoft IIS or PWS Post-Installation Steps

 If you're using Microsoft IIS or PWS as your HTTP server, perform the following additional post-installation steps:

Grant Administrator Privileges to the CGI User

The CGI user must have Administrator privileges to access the NEXT_ROOT environment variable. This is necessary if one of the following is true:

To grant Administrator privileges to the CGI user, do the following:

  1. Open the "User Manager for Domains" application under Administrative Tools.

  2. Double-click the entry with the full name "Internet Guest Account." (The user name usually starts with "IUSR_".)

  3. In the window that opens, click the Groups button.

    You'll see two tables, one called "Member of" and one called "Not member of."

  4. Move the Administrators group from the "Not member of" table to the "Member of" table.

  5. Click the OK button.

Install OpenStep Services

The processes machd and nmserver must be configured as services. The install shield wizard installs these processes but doesn't configure them properly if you've changed your NEXT_ROOT environment variable to the root directory (which you must do if you're using a Microsoft server). These two services are required to run the applications WebObjects Builder, Project Builder, and EOModeler.

To install these processes as services, open a Bourne shell window or a DOS Command Prompt window and enter the following commands:

> cd %NEXT_ROOT%\NextLibrary\System
> machd.exe -install
> nmserver.exe -install
