exe to dll. Deploying IIS7. Am I missing something?

[ttamturk]

Hi,

 

First of all this is newbie question. Sorry If It is basic, simple question. But I am stuck.

 

I compiled my uniGui application in DelphiXE2, Standalone Server mode, running exe server. Call in browser at address "local:8077", running perfectly. No problem at my local pc with exe file..

 

Yesterday, I try to deploy to a Windwos2008 server with IIS7. Than I realize that deploying part is a DLL not an exe file.. I search forum but I could not find a clue.

 

How can I produce this DLL?

 

Thanks,

Tugrul

Hi !

Just comment out the 1st line of your Project source.

 

{.$DEFINE UNIGUI_VCL}

 

That's enough to turn the project into an ISAPI module.

There several ways to create a project in uniGUI.

 

Your project is created in one of following ways:

 

1) Standalone exe

 

In this case project can't be directly converted to a DLL. You must create a blank ISAPI Module or Standalone ISAPI Combo project and manually move all your forms and modules to new project.

 

2) Standalone + ISAPI Module Combo project

 

Open the project file and comment the first line:

 

{$define UNIGUI_VCL} // Comment out this line to turn this project into an ISAPI module

 

Rebuild your project and a DLL file will be created in output directory.

Thank you very much!

Sorry for disturbing you.. But no {$define UNIGUI_VCL} directive in my project.

 

I feel that doing something wrong from begining may be...

 

program IstakipWeb;

 

uses

Forms,

ServerModule in 'ServerModule.pas' {UniServerModule: TUniGUIServerModule},

MainModule in 'MainModule.pas' {UniMainModule: TUniGUIMainModule},

Main in 'Main.pas' {MainForm: TUniForm};

 

{$R *.res}

 

begin

Application.Initialize;

TUniServerModule.Create(Application);

Application.Run;

end.

Now I see after examine your demo sources. In any case a newbie fall in same situation like me, I leave redesinged project source lines. Thank you..

 

{.$define UNIGUI_VCL} // Comment out this line to turn this project into an ISAPI module

 

{$ifndef UNIGUI_VCL}

library

{$else}

program

{$endif}

IstakipWeb;

 

uses

uniGUIISAPI, //<-This is new

Forms,

ServerModule in 'ServerModule.pas' {UniServerModule: TUniGUIServerModule},

MainModule in 'MainModule.pas' {UniMainModule: TUniGUIMainModule},

Main in 'Main.pas' {MainForm: TUniForm};

 

{$R *.res}

 

{$ifndef UNIGUI_VCL}

exports

GetExtensionVersion,

HttpExtensionProc,

TerminateExtension;

{$endif}

 

begin

{$ifdef UNIGUI_VCL}

Application.Initialize;

TUniServerModule.Create(Application);

Application.Run;

{$endif}

end.
