Unable to access web Gateway via IIS
Hi
I've installed Ensemble 2018 then enabled IIS from Win features, then realized that CSPGateway doesn't exit so I downloaded and installed CSPGateway-2018 from WRC.
so now I'm trying to set up a Website application and facing some issues, and I think IIS and CSPGateway in inetpub are not connecting or synchronising properly but mostly is accessing Web gateway via IIS my understanding is that I can access using the following url http://machinename/csp/bin/Systems/Module.cxw using my machinename or IP but it's not happening.
I can access the gateway from Managment portal with this url http://localhost/csp/bin/Systems/Module.cxw
do I need to have IIS installed in windows features before installing Ensemble!?
Thanks

Hi @Nezla
If you install Ensemble before install ISS, you need to setup the CSPModule manually in IIS. If ISS is intalled before install Enemble, the Ensemble install setup the CSP Module on IIS for you.
For more information read the documentation:
Watch the Webinar Configuring IIS for Better Performance and Security with (intersystems.com.
@Cristiano Silva, Rochdi is using Ensemble 2018. Does that version automatically configure IIS if you install it after IIS? I could be wrong, but I thought that automatic configuration was only in more recent versions of IRIS.
Cache/Ensemble they do the configuration. See the screenshot below. I just did a new installation of Ensemble. The highlighted columns are the file update time..png)
I've uninstalled Ensemble 2018 and CSPGateway and with IIS already enabled, I've re-installed Ensemble 2018 but it didn't install CSPGateway folder in intepub, I've then formated my machine, installed Win 10 enterprise, enabled IIS then installed Ensemble 2018 with Development option and still didn't install CSPGateway in intepub ?
It's long time I don't install Ensemble 2018, why are you still using Ensemble and not IRIS?
I just tested installing Ensemble 2018 and CSP Gateway is properly installed and configured.
When the setup kit is run the first dialog is:
Do you get the same dialog? What option you choose?
As you can see it is also possible to install only the CSP Gateway component.
If you choose Custom then this dialog is displayed:
As you can see the option to install CSP Gateway for IIS is there.
If I proceed to the install, at the end I have the CSP Gateway properly configured in C:\inetpub\CSPGateway
In order to help you, apart from saying that is not being installed, can you provide some information on what you are actually doing and what do you actually see/get during install?
We are first converting from Ensemble 2014 to 2018 in order to be able to convert to IRIS.
I'm installing the latest ensemble-2018.1.9.805.0-win_x64 and expanding the Web server gateway option this is what I get:

is that means my installer doesn't have it?
If you select the option you have highlighted, then CSP Gateway will not be installed, if you don't change it, then it will be installed.
What option do you use when you install? (first dialog)
However, is this a new fresh install or an upgrade of an existing Ensemble instance?
Yes I just go with the first dialog and use the defaults, and its a fresh new install with not other Ensembles instances are installed and I'm surprised why I'm not getting the csp gateway installed in inetpub, I even formatted the whole machine, installed Win 10 Enterprise, enabled IIS then installed Ens 2018 and still CSPGateway not insllatted in inetbup!?
CSPGateway not insllatted in inetbup
How do you check that?
I go to Inetpub expecting that I see CSPGateway folder in there?

and also in IIS I thought there should be a CSPms DLL as well?

So, as others have confirmed here, to recap, installing Ensemble 2018 on an instance of Windows that already has IIS installed - plus, you take the defaults when installing Ensemble .. should have installed the CSP gateway on IIS.
Is there an installation log file worth reviewing for any clues ? (I believe there is ensemble-install log in the installation root folder).
I can always install the Gateway as I have already just installed it but the reason why I'm asking is that because after installing the gateway from CSPGateway installer my application didn't work and was wondering if not having the gateway initially installed with ensemble could be the reason why the Zen application is not working, I've raised a separate case in this link:
