5.6.2 Configuring NT IIS 4.0

If you are using NT Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0, do the following to add the plug-in MIME type:

1. Start the Microsoft Management Console utility that comes with IIS. You can find it under
Start/ Programs/ Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack/ Microsoft Internet Information Server/ Internet Service Manager.

2. Expand the console tree so that you are viewing "Console Root/ Internet Information Server/ Default Web Site" in the left pane of the console.

3. In the left pane, click the name of the directory that will contain your ACUCOBOL-GT object files.

4. Select Action/ Properties (or press <Alt> <Enter>).

5. In the Properties sheet, select the HTTP Headers tab.

6. Click File Types.

7. Click New Type.

8. Type the filename extension:

  .acu

9. For the content type, type:

  application/vnd.acucobol

10. Click OK to close the New Type dialog box, OK to close the File Types dialog box, and then OK a third time to close the Properties sheet. You can now place your object files anywhere in this directory structure and the browser will invoke the plug-in to run them.

If you do not have access to the Microsoft Management Console utility, you can configure IIS by editing your system registry directly as described below.


Caution: Do not attempt this procedure unless you are an experienced Windows system administrator, as mistakes can result in system failure. Before editing your system registry, perform a full system backup using a backup program such as Windows NT Backup. Acucorp accepts no liability for damage or loss incurred as a result of altering the system registry.

1. Start the Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) and open the file
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Inetinfo\Parameters\MimeMap".

2. Add the value for the MIME mapping as follows:

Field Value
Key Name SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\InetInfo\Parameters\MimeMap
Name application/vnd.acucobol,acu,,5
Type REG_SZ

3. Save your changes to the registry and restart the Web server.
