Hi

I have done the following to migrate an application to our company's web server to be run as a web application. By the way, the application runs as a web app on my local computer well.

- I have PowerServer (the same version as that on my local computer) installed on the web server's localhost:port#

- I can bring up the AEM by using localhost:port#/AEM

- Packaged the application in PB w/ Powerserver's toolkit 'Package' icon and chose 'Server deployment project' Type

- Copy and pasted the package folder to the web server via RDP

- Ran the Setup.exe as the admin

- Edited the Power and Web Servers to the correct port# then modified the rest accordingly.

- PowerServer deployed it successfully

BUT, when I ran the app after it's successfully done deploying, I got an error page

 

HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden

The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory....

 

Where did I do wrong?

 

Please help

Thanks!

Hi CJ, For sure this is an IIS config issue not Appeon product issue.  Please try these steps to see if it resolves: https://docs.appeon.com/appeon_online_help/ps2020/web_server_configuration_guide/Configuring_Windows_IIS_with_NET.html

Try running the installation of the optional PowerServer Web Server component to the wwwroot folder. I think that will add this missing folder.

You are spot-on! It did restore the IISSupport folder. However, after following the configuration doc you provided, I still get the page can not be displayed error page

There is some other IIS configuration issue. The document outlines specific requirements for PowerServer that by default are not enabled rather than comprehensive guide how to properly configure IIS for remote access.

Hi CJ;

  Sounds like an IIS permissions issue. When you installed the Web App to the production PowerServer, did you install it under the II's folder structure (not program files)? For example: C:\inetpub\wwwroot. If you installed it in another folder structure, then you may need to give that folder "IIS_IUSRS" security permission. The same might also be true for the "WWWROOT" folder if this is a new IIS installation.

HTH

Regards ... Chris

Thank yoiu, Chris but the IIS had been installed on the server before my deployment. The IIS folder structure/folder wwwroot has the Full control granted to IIS_IUSRS.

Assuming then that you placed your Web App under "wwwroot" folder, then it could be a port issue. Please make sure that you use the URL: http://<your PS Server>:<port>/<AppName> to invoke the App. Also, please check your IIS console to make sure that your App is known to IIS and that it's assigned to the proper Application Pool.
