All-

After installing a test version of Gemini on an XP system with IIS installed, I go into the IIS window to find that the web site I specified (Gemini_web) is "Stopped". In the status column, the text is "The request is not supported". That's not good, right? If not, can anyone recommend some troubleshooting action? Thx.

Note: I suppose I need to browse to http://localhost/Gemini_web, right?

Thanks!

Are there any errors in the windows event viewer?

I checked. There are no errors listed in any area (Application, Security, and System).

Can you try and recreate the virtual directory via IIS?

I also had this problem when first installing Gemini!  I am using XP with IIS 5.1, and here is the trick that solved it for me.

IIS 5 only allows one web service at a time on XP.  Chances are, if you have my configuration, that your Default Web Site service is currently started; stop it.  After you stop whatever web service your IIS is currently running, you should be able to then start the Gemini service.

I hope this helps!

SarCohen- You're talking with a complete newbie here, so plz bare with me:

Not sure what you meant by "recreate teh virutal directory via IIS" (see!), but I found a mkwebdir utility in directory Inetpub\AdminScripts. I experimented with typing:

mkwebdir -c LocalHost -w 127.0.0.1 -v gemini_30

A few seconds later a windows message popped up saying "Error understanding virtual directories".

Thoughts?

Thx.

Ok, try this

• Run iis manager. you can do so by going to the start menu -> run and type in inetmgr.exe
• Expand websites so you see the default web site
• Right click -> new -> virtual directory
• Type an alias, say GeminiTest, click next
• Point to the current Gemini dir, usually C:\Program Files\CounterSoft\Gemini Project Issue Tracking\Gemini Web Application and click next
• Click next again and finish
• Right click on the new site (GeminiTest) -> Properties
• Go to the ASP.NET tab and change to 2.0 and click ok.

That should be it you should now be able to run: http://localhost/GeminiTest
