Verifying IIS Configuration

Follow the steps outlined for your specific Windows operating system to verify IIS configuration for Bizagi. Supported versions include:

Important Notes

ASP.NET Registration: If IIS was installed after Bizagi or the .NET Framework, you may need to register the ASP.NET framework in IIS. This can be done using the aspnet_regiis -i command from the framework's directory (typically C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\[version]\).
Service Reinstallation: If IIS was installed after Bizagi’s Server Operations Service, you may need to reinstall the service or run these commands: %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\APPCMD unlock config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\APPCMD unlock config -section:system.webServer/serverRuntime
Default Web Site: Ensure the Default Web site is present in IIS, as Bizagi will create the Work Portal for your projects in this site.
