Solution

This TechNote provides a new web server configuration file (wsconfig.jar) to replace the IIS connector components.

Installation instructions

JRun 4.0

1. Backup the existing jrun_root/lib/wsconfig.jar to wsconfig.jar.bu.
2. Download the hot fix (2.2MB).
3. Stop all JRun servers and IIS (WWW Publishing Services) and the Windows Management Instrumentation service to unlock the IIS connector.
   
   Note: This step is important for ISPs. With IIS running, the connector installer shuts down and restarts each site during the upgrade, causing the upgrade to take much longer.
4. Navigate to the /jrun4/lib directory and run the connector upgrade:

    cd jrun_root/lib
   		
   
   	 java -Dtrace.ci=1 -jar wsconfig.jar -upgrade -v 

5. Make sure the upgrade completed successfully.
   • Inspect jrun_root/lib/wsconfig/wsconfig.log for errors
   • Check the version tab ofjrun_root/lib/wsconfig/N/jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll or jrun.dll. The "Product Version" item name field should indicate 4,0,6,107410 (the old connector version released with Updater 6 is 106363).
     
     Another way to check the version is to query the wsconfig.jar directly as shown below:

      java -jar wsconfig.jar -info
