To Configure IIS on a Windows Server 2019

Following is a procedure for associating your .acu applications with the ACUCOBOL-GT runtime using Microsofts Internet Information Server (IIS) Version 5.0 on Windows Server 2019. Your own Web server software may vary.

1. Start the Internet Server Manager, and then click OK.
2. In Server Manager, select Dashboard, and click Add roles and features.
3. In the Add Roles and Features Wizard, on the Before You Begin page, click Next.
4. On the Select Installation Type page, select Role-based or Feature-based Installation and click Next
5. On the Select Destination Server page, select a server from the server pool, select the server, and click Next.
6. On the Select Server Roles page, select Web Server (IIS).
7. Click Next three more times to reach the Role Services page.
8. Expand Web Server > Application Development, check CGI, and then click Next.
9. On the Installation Progress page, confirm that the installation of the Web Server (IIS) role and required role services completed successfully, and then click Close.
10. To verify that IIS installed successfully, type the following into a web browser:

    http://localhost

    The default IIS Welcome page should appear.

11. Start Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and click the Default Web Site in the Connections panel (left).
12. Double click the Handler Mappings icon in the Home panel (center).
13. Double click the CGI-exe item and an Edit Script Map pop-up window appears.
14. Type *.acu into the Request path field.
15. Type C:\PathTo\AcuGT\bin\wrun32.exe -f %s into the Executable field.
16. Click OK to close the Edit Script Map pop-up window.

    This triggers an Edit Script Map question asking to allow this ISAPI extension.

17. Click Yes.
18. Right-click the CGI-exe entry that was edited in the previous step and select Edit feature permissions.
19. Be sure that the Execute check box is enabled, and then click OK.
