The Corticon install guide describes the system requirements and
options for Corticon Server installation. Download and run the installer for Corticon
Server for .NET. That installer will install utilities, scripts, and samples as well as
resources that will be provisioned to the IIS server.
Corticon Server for .NET is installed on the IIS machine—See Installing Corticon Server for .NET
.
The installer sets up the REST API doc, utilities, scripts, and samples as well as
resources that will be provisioned to the IIS server.
You have a Corticon Server for .NET license that was issued to you.
Note:IMPORTANT: The default Corticon server for .NET installation does not
include an evaluation license. You need a proper evaluation or production license
from Progress to run the software. If not, Corticon Server for .NET will not work.
Once you have a non-evaluation license JAR, navigate to the IIS installation
location, typically C:\inetpub, and then
navigate to its \wwwroot\Corticon\lib directory
to paste the file and, if necessary, overwrite the existing file in that
location.
Note: If you are replacing an existing
Corticon .NET IIS installation, stop the IIS, then click on Sites\Default
Web Site, and then right-click on any Applications and choose Remove.
In the File Explorer, delete all folders except aspnet_client. Close
the IIS Manager, and then relaunch it.
To install Corticon for .NET, the license, and Java to the IIS server:
INSTALL: Launch C:\<Corticon_Server>\Server
.NET\IIS\install.bat as Administrator. Press Enter to run
the script.
LICENSE:Use the File Explorer to copy the .NET-enabled license file,
CcLicense.jar, to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Corticon\lib.
JAVA: Use the File Explorer to copy all the contents of your JRE or JDK 17
folder into your inetpub\wwwroot\Corticon\JRE folder.
Create the axis application in IIS
To convert the axis directory into an application:
Open the IIS Manager app by searching for IIS Manager.
Expand the connection and then Sites.
Select the DefaultWebsite, then right-click on the root, and select
Refresh.
Right-click on axis, and then choose Convert to
Application.
In the dialog, confirm or select Application pool.NET v.4.5 Classic, and then click OKin both dialogs.
Set Access Permissions for directories in
IIS
Corticon Server for .NET needs to be able to write to various subdirectories of the IIS
installation directory's axis subdirectory. The following task might be required for
your setup, as the Classic Application Pool runs under the built in user account
ApplicationPoolIdentity, a user that has no WRITE permissions for the axis folders, so
these rights must be set.
To set access permissions:
Right-click on axis, and then choose Edit Permissions. In
the dialog, click the Security tab. Click Edit, and the choose
IIS_IUSRS. Click the Allow - Full control box, as shown:
Note: If you do not have a user IIS_IUSRS,
click Add, and then enter an object name
IIS_IUSRS(yourUserName\IIS_IUSRS).
Click Apply, then OK to both dialogs.
Similarly, right-click on the Corticon folder, and then choose
Edit Permissions. In the dialog, click the Security tab. Click
Edit, and the choose IIS_IUSRS. Click the Allow - Full
control box. Click Apply, then OK to both dialogs.
In the IIS Manager, right-click on the root to choose Stop,
and then after a few seconds, choose Start. (You might prefer
to execute iisreset in a Command Prompt to restart
IIS.)
The IIS Internet Information Services is now running the axis web service for Corticon.
To check that your IIS installation with Corticon has been successful,
ping your Corticon IIS Server at http://localhost:80/axis/corticon/server/ping. Before you do so, you may want
to wait a minute to let IIS finish the startup of Corticon IIS Server. Then, you will
see the number of milliseconds in the response that the server has been up, as
illustrated:
