ArcIMS 9.2 installed on CIRGIS test server

Last night at the Anacapa meeting Wayne Rode and I sat down at the console with Dave Burkhart looking over our shoulders with the new ArcIMS CD.

We uninstalled ArcGIS 9.1, and then ArcIMS 9.1. We also uninstalled the current (5.0) version of the tomcat servlet engine, and installed the version 5.5 recommended by ESRI. Our current Apache version appeared to be OK. After that, we followed an intricate set of instructions that was linked from the ESRI install package for setting up tomcat and Apache with files downloaded from ESRI. After sniffing out a couple of typos, we finally got both Tomcat and Apache working again.

Unfortunately, we couldn't test the servlet engine with the ESRI string, because I had forgotten to install the servelt examples when we did the Tomcat5.5 installation (it defaults to Custom, not typical, and you have to add features). So we decided to proceed with installation anyway, and hope for the best.

We got through the installation (to E:\ -- this creates an e:\arcims folder), but we didn't have the registration code necessary to get through the post installation. So we wrote Steve a note asking him to send along the email from ESRI

------------------

Next day:
With remote desktop, I tried to run the post installation from the start menu item, after receiving the code from Steve. It said, however, that the software must be installed first! So I did a repair, and that didn't help, and then I did a modify, and that didn't help either. So I uninstalled the software and started over, and made sure that I didn't leave the install program before entering the code. Luckily, everything worked after that, and it is all setup the same way as when we had 9.1 running. Even our existing image services came right up. So it's done.

Next step: check that the WMS services are running, too.
