Installation Quetions

[marsh...@hotmail.com]

Hi there

I'm trying Appcelerator for the first time and am looking for some
instructions on installing and setting up the .net SDK in IIS6 on a
Vista 64bit machine

Any help would be appreciated

Many thanks
Marsh

Hi Marsh,

Have you taken a look at this? http://doc.appcelerator.org/index.html#dotnetgettingstarted

Those instructions were geared toward XP+IIS6. I haven't personally
set Appcelerator on a Vista machine (I know it's been tested on Vista
w/ IIS7). The basic gist should be the same though:

1) map the ".app" extension to the isapi dll
2) copy your project into the iis www directory with the following
structure (which will change w/ 2.1 to make it more uniform and
easier):
/project_name
/project_name/bin/Appcelerator.dll
/project_name/bin/appcelerator-config.xml <--- .NET specific guy
who configures logging
/project_name/bin/deploy/*.dll <-- services are deployed here
/project_name/*.html <--- html/js/css/web.config/appcelerator.xml
/project_name/ServiceBroker.app <--- empty file needed so you don't
get a 404 when requests are routed to the Appcelerator dll.
2.5) create a virtual directory
3) (assuming iis is started): navigate to the appropriate url..:
http://localhost/project_name/servicetester.html

For step 3, it helps to use firefox and firebug to make sure you
aren't getting any funny errors. It's all in the configuration

Let me know if you have any questions.
