   I have reviewed this document several times (How To Configure IIS 7.0 and Tomcat with the JK 1.2 Connector) and have configured my server exactly as laid out in this document. Everything is working except for the JK 1.2 connector. : {
   I have used Process Monitor from sysinternals.com and the ISAPI filter is not being hit. Also isapi_redirect.log file is not being created.

   Any additional advice that you can share?
   Thanks,
   Ryan

   Ryan,

   When you say the ISAPI filter is not being hit what exactly do you mean ? Is there an Access Denied error in Process Monitor ? What do you see in your browser ? Is it a 404 from IIS ? If so you may not have configured Tomcat correctly. Check that your Tomcat .properties files are present and correct.

   Regards,

   Paul Lynch

   Hi Paul
   Yes, I am receiving a 404 from IIS. I am not seeing isapi_redirect ever being accessed when watching file activity via Process Monitor.
   In previous versions of IIS you could see the green up arrow when an isapi filter loaded correctly. With IIS 7 this feature is not available. Using the command tasklist /m is* shows that the only module loaded is isapi.dll

   I can hit the tomcat instance directly by hitting the :8080 port. I receive a 404 file not found error when attempting to hit tomcat via the isapi_redirect and IIS7.

   Any assistance is much appreciated.
   Thanks,
   Ryan

   I was able to finally configure the modjk isapi filter to load for IIS 7.
   Addtional requirements that I had to make above and beyond what is in this document are.
   1. IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility is a required Role Service.
   2. Only works with the AMD64 isapi_redirect.dll…..even though I have Intel processors on my server.

   Ryan,
   Could U pls explain a little on what u mean by:
   “1. IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility is a required Role Service.
   2. Only works with the AMD64 isapi_redirect.dll…..even though I have Intel processors on my server.”

   I think I’m in the same situation.

   My configuration hasn’t worked yet!
   I’ve been getting:
   “No worker maps defined for C:\Tomcat\Tomcat 6.0\conf\uriworkermap.properties”
   when I check the log.

   Does anyone have an idea on how this can be fixed?

7. 7 On July 1st, 2009, Kiran Prakash said:

   I ‘ve the “IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility” enabled. I am using amd64 bit, but still get the same error. Any idea?

8. 8 On July 7th, 2009, Paul Lynch said:

   @Ryan,

   I’ve just checked my test server and I don’t have the IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility Role Service installed, so it can’t be required for Tomcat to run on IIS 7.0 I’m afraid.

   Also, the AMD64 name actually refers to the architecture of the chip not the name of the manufacturer, i.e AMD64 refers to 64-bit chips as opposed to Itanium chips.

   Hi!
   I also used your How To to configure Tomcat on Windows 2008 x64. I did all steps but now I have a similar error like the others above. If I try to access tomcat on 8080 everything ist working. If I try to use the IIS 7.0 I get also 404.0 Error. If I use the command of Ryan the command line shows me isapi.dll as well as isapi_redirect.dll therefor it seems that both are loaded.
   Has someone an idea to fix it?

   Florian

    Hi!
    I got it work. Instead of the isapi_redirect.properties I inserted the values into the regitry following the steps provided on this page (Configuring the ISAPI Redirector): http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/webserver_howto/iis.html

    I do not know why it doesn´t work with properties file but however thank you for the tutorial!

    I followed the tutorial and having the same problem (404 error). But i solved it with make some changing in uniworkermap.properties. I added my web address examples /jsp-examples/*=wlb below the /examples/*=wlb and its worked perfectly.

    I followed the tutorial step by step to configure Tomcat 5.5 with IIS 7 on Windows Server 2008 Standard French Edition.
    Like many people here, I can hit the tomcat instance directly by hitting the :8080 port. I receive a 404.3 file not found error when attempting to hit tomcat via the isapi_redirect and IIS7 on standard 80 http port.
    I use the command of Ryan and the command line shows me isapi.dll as well as isapi_redirect.dll therefore it seems that both are loaded, but isapi_redirect.log file is never being created.
    Quick fix appreciated.

    Do you have any solution windows 2008 64 bit & tomcat 5.5 32 bit for configuration

14. 14 On September 11th, 2009, John said:

    Hi Paul,

    I think I’ve figured out what the issues are that some people are having. If you are running a 32 bit version of Tomcat with a 32 bit JK connector on an x64 OS you have to configure the Application Pool -> Advanced Settings -> Enable 32 bit Applications = TRUE. You also need to ensure that the NTFS permissions are set for the user defined by Identity. You may want to add these to your post. I have documented it on my post at hidi.no-ip.org.

    thanks a ton! it worked just has to add properties value in registry.
    still need to figure out how to use Request.ServerVariables(”LOGON_USER”) from a asp page, get username in jsp page
    if anyone has example please forward me.

    Binesh,

    you need to create a new application pool process, running in 32bit mode

    I am just starting this process for both MS XpPro 64 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64. I will post my results as I go. I am wondering with 64 bit versions of Tomcat 5.x available and easy to install whay others are using 32 bit compiles under a 64 bit O.S.? Anyway, here I go!

    I have win2k8 IIS7 Tomcat 5.5(shows up under WOW6432) have gone thru all steps and remedies but still not able to get any work between the redirector. tomcat working fine on its own. Have tried both registry option and properties option for connector config.

    tasklist /m is* doesnt show anything. Is there any other troubleshooting step I can do? seems like connector is not pickedup by IIS7 at all.

    I have tried disabling UAC didnt help.

    Ok, I changed the isapi dll file from isapi_redirect-1.2.28 IA64.dll to isapi_redirect-1.2.28 AMD64.dll as others had suggested above. Now error is different!

    - Before error was “unable to load” code 800700c1 and now it is 800770002 - “Calling GetFilterVersion on ISAPI filter failed”. Hmmm… seems like it now loads the isapi dll but doesn’t like it for some reason.

    Hi!
    I want to thank you for this Tutorial as well as for the tutorial of IIS6 it works great and it helped me to install several Tomcatserver in the past.

24. 24 On January 8th, 2010, Chris Bedford-Gay said:

    Hi, excellent article.

    Worked for me perfectly until I tried to setup this is a site not the default. It worked up until the point I changed from using “localhost” to a host file mapped to “dev.rms” 127.0.0.1 with the IIS being setup to handle this.

    As soon as I tried this I received a error:

    HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error
    Calling LoadLibraryEx on ISAPI filter “C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\ISAPI\isapi_redirect.dll” failed

    Does anyone have any ideas about this. I’m running 2008 Server x64 in 32bit compatability mode. I’ve 6 other sites running fine but no ideas about this error that seems to be specific to the ISAPI in Tomcat.

    Help please.

    Chris.

    ok the solution for this error:
    HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error
    Calling LoadLibraryEx on ISAPI filter “C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\ISAPI\isapi_redirect.dll” failed

    is:
    go to default application pool
    and to advance setting
    then to enable 32 bit application set it to true and test again.

    netstat -a shows that my tomcat IS listening on port 8009.

    Any suggestions ?

    @Pieter,

    Your log file appears to indicate a standard 404 error which suggests that IIS is not handing off the requests to the ISAPI filter. IIS is looking for a resource (in this case /examples/jsp/jsp2/el/basic-arithmetic.jsp) and can’t find it so returns a 404

    The only thing I can suggest is that the Tomcat connector isn’t installed and/or configured correctly because it isn’t intercepting the requests properly.

    Regards,

    Paul Lynch

    Thanks again for your help.

    When you say tomcat connector, you mean the isapi_rederect (jk), or the thing that listens on port 8009 ?

    Or, am I completely missing the real tomcat connector? (and i forgot to install it?)

    goal is that I have a set of a few tomcats, that are grouped by the one IIS.
    the urimapping.properties contains the config to decide which request go to worker1 and which go to worker2?

    Does have iis another way of configuring this? (forwarding), since I might need this as well for my subversion repositories.

    Thanks

35. 35 On February 11th, 2010, Paul Lynch said:

    Pieter,

    Yes I mean the ISAPI filter. It has to be configured and enabled in IIS in order to be able to hand off requests to Tomcat.

    Hullos`

    thanx for the tutorial. I have followed it and everything works fine but just one problem. My application appears very well when am accessing it from the remote server and ip address i used but isn`t accesible from other computers/ip on the internet. i.e.
    http://trackafrica.com is accessible even from other ip addresses, but http://trackafrica:8080 (and http://trackafrica:8080/track ) isn`t accessible from other ip addresses apart from the one i used.

    What could i have missed or what i am i supposed to do to get this done.

    Will be happy to receive a response

    Hello everyone, I too get a 500 error: even in the Default Site (http://localhost)

    I am running on a Windows Server 2008 x64 virtual machine with IIS 7.5.

    All in all, I did the following:
    1. Got the amd64 filter, renamed it properly and unblocked it.
    2. Created workers.properties and uriworkermap.properties
    3. Tried the isapi_redirect.properties thing, the filter could not be loaded so:
    3.1 Tried the registry thing instead
    4. Installed IIS with CGI, ISAPI Extensions and ISAPI Filters
    5. Created virtual directory and tested the connection with the default user (did not work, so I had to declare the admin passwd which passed the test)
    6. In that virtual dir, edited the handler mapping
    7. Added the isapi filter to the default web site
    8. Added the isapi and cgi restriction things pointing to the dll

    After restarting the server I get nothing more than:

    HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error
    The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred. Detailed Error Information
    Module IsapiFilterModule
    Notification AuthenticateRequest

    Requested URL http://localhost:80/
    Physical Path C:\inetpub\wwwroot
    Logon Method Anonymous
    Logon User Anonymous

    Since I have been messing with this for more than a week now, I would like to know:

    Is there ANYONE that has set this up successfully?

    Just to be complete regarding my previous post, the registry entries are read fine, the log file is created ok and shows no errors whatsoever…

    I feel inclined to take this personally, it’s a pity that there is no definite answer in the web for this issue. If there is someone that knows something chip in guys so that we get this straightened out once and for all, this would help a lot of people out there I think…

    I just wanted to say thanks for this excellent tutorial. The only problem I had was with the (almost) famous AMD64 isapi_redirect.dll. Probably, a lot of the problems reflected above arises from misinterpreting the folder structure under /dist/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk/binaries/win64/jk-1.2.30. Once again, thank you for sharing this information!

46. 46 On March 9th, 2010, Brus-Per said:

    BTW, I think there is a typo in the posting from Dennis on November 9th.

    The posting reads:
    # Configuration file for the Jakarta ISAPI Redirector

    # The Path to the ISAPI Redirector Extension, relative to the website
    # This must be a virtual directory with execute privileges
    extension_uri=/jarkarta/isapi_redirect.dll
    …

    The correct extension_uri should probably be:
    extension_uri=/jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll (the first “r” in jakarta should not be there)

    Nice Blog, I have used it as a template for my own system.
    I have Server 2008 standard running IIS7 and Tomcat 6
    IIS has been running well for a while and a few ASP.Net web sites are hosted there, I am now trying to get a Java site running as well.
    The Domain (www.spicetheworld.eu) points correctly to my server and currently shows my IIS Servers default web page.
    I have followed your instructions and I am currently at this point -
    http://www.spicetheworld.eu/ reaches IIS but does not foward to Tomcat
    Over the Server both http://localhost:8080/spicetheworld/ and http://localhost/spicetheworld/ show the installed site correctly.
    –
    I suspect the answer to this is simple so how do I get IIS to foward incoming requests to view the website to Tomcat please?

    This is my workers.properties file
    worker.list=wlb,jkstatus
    worker.ajp13w.type=ajp13
    worker.ajp13w.host=localhost
    worker.ajp13w.port=8009
    worker.wlb.type=lb
    worker.wlb.balance_workers=ajp13w
    worker.jkstatus.type=status

    This is my uriworkermap.properties file
    /admin/*=wlb
    /manager/*=wlb
    /spicetheworld/*=wlb
    /jkmanager=jkstatus

    This is my isapi_redirect.properties file
    extension_uri=/jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll
    log_file=c:\tomcat\logs\isapi_redirect.log
    log_level=info
    worker_file=c:\tomcat\conf\workers.properties
    worker_mount_file=c:\tomcat\conf\uriworkermap.properties

    In IIS I have configured the Default Web site as in this Blogg and I have not added spicetheworld.eu as a web site (is this correc?)

    Thanks in advance for any advise.

    Regards

    I am using the 64 bit Windows 2008, the 64 bit 1.2.28 connector, the 64 bit tomcat 6.0.26 running on 64 bit jdk 1.6.0_19. I followed the instructions and had same problem most were experiencing. That is that everything worked except the connector. Using the tasklist utility also showed that the isapi_redirect.dll was not running, and the log file was not getting created.

    My solution suggested that isapi_redirect.dll did not have correct access rights to the directory containing the config file nor to the directory containing the log file. This completely prevented to connector from loading. Although I don’t understand why this would be so since both IIS and Tomcat are running as System and they don’t have any problems reading or writing files.

    Maybe this is why the setup started working for some when they used the registry settings for the config info since this did not require access rights to a disk resource.

    My solution was to give Everyone Modify level rights to the directory with the isapi_redirect.properties file and the directory which is the target of the log file.

    Hi

    I have followed the instructions and i now have a working IIS7 - Tomcat installation on a Win2008 server.

    But i have one problem that is hard to see any logic behind.

    If i run a web browser locally on the server all .jspx pages are shown correctly, BUT when i use an external browser all pages containing forms that require information gets a “500 - Internal server error.There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.”, the errorpage shows up when i leave the fields in the forms empty and click “log in”, or if i type in wrong information, for example a non existent user in the user field.

    It looks like IIS lacks information on how to call the right page when there is no or wrong info missing in fields.

    Finally get IIS to talk to tomcat. I am using IIS 7.5, tomcat 6.0.29 and isapi-redirect-1.2.30.dll. The OS is 64-bits. I use all amd64 bit version to match the OS. When 32-bits version was used, I was getting a 404.3 error. I also stupidly did not follow the instruction above to remove the version from my dll to isapi-redirect.dll. I got a 505 status code, with error message stating something wrong when calling getFilterVer(). At this point, tasklist /m is* shows that the isapi-redirect.dll is loaded and the redirect.log shows up, but the browser prompt me to save the file when testing. This is fixed by fixing the ISAPI-dll Handler Mapping of the site. The Executable was pointing to the 32-bit dll. After switching back to the 64 bit dll and checking Executable under the Access tab in the dialog shown after Request Restriction is clicked, the test page finally work.

    I also manage to get the 32-bit dll to work by changing the Application Pool Advanced Setting Eable 32-bit Application to true.

    I was going through this nice manual and thought I would never make it work.

    Despite of some problems with access rights I got to have something written on the isapi.log. This was the first step to realise that I had some kind of problem as the 8009 port was listening and the Isapi.log was throwing a “61″ error (http 503).

    Finally, I uncommented the “/servlets-examples/*=wlb” on the uriworker.properties and everything worked.

    The config that I got to work is for a virtual machine with “Intels” but still AMD architecture. Therefore:
    > isapi_redirect for AMD 1.2.30 (I renamed the original file to “isapi_redirect.dll”)
    > Tomcat:5.5.30

    After couple of tests, I found out that if I don’t install the “Native” then it works.

    Best luck!

    Thank you for this manual. I had already done this for IIS6, but Microsoft changed the way this was done in IIS7. It was realy helpfull.

    IISAdmin is Bookmarked

    Regards
