Thanks everyone.
I am not sure if this is the best way, but I copied over all of the files from under wwwroot on the 2003 machine to the wwwroot on the 2008 machine.
It seems that I can manually 'create' an application and I can get it to work. I do it with these steps (for now):
1) Right click main folder
2) Select 'Add Application'
3) Enter Alias (the part that comes after the '/' (slash) in the URL.
4) Select 'AppPool-DOTNET4.0'
5) Select the Physical path from under \wwwroot
6) Click 'Connect As'
7) Enter xxx\Administrator and password. Click OK.
8) Test Settings. Should see Green.
9) Click OK
QUESTION 1:
For item 7) I really don't want to use administrator for the web server when in production. What do most people use for credentials when they create an Application? PowerBuilder normally does this for Windows 2003, but it seems to be misbehaving on 2008.
QUESTION 2:
Also, here is one critical question. The webform applications that I am testing with 12.5.1 on the 2008 R2 server seem to work fine. BUT, returncode = dw_1.SaveAs(filename,PDF!,false) is not working at all. returnvalue <> 1. I see a session directory but it is always empty.
I don't recall having to use Ghostscript for years. Am I wrong on that? Do I have to install Ghostscript? If so, will version 9.14 work okay or do I have to dig up 8.64 from somewhere?
I HATE A MIGRATION.
Best,
Paul
