Is there any ENGLISH documentation for installing WebDev 22 Web Application Server with IIS? We have been trying to get this to work for several hours at this point and everyone I ask says just use Apache. Any thoughts?

We are getting the following error:

Failure saving the application in the account file.

We have checked all the permissions and accounts but we have no idea what WB is trying to do. It would be nice if there was some documentation somewhere to explain what each process is doing.

Thanks for any help!

Hi Terry,

yes, there is an english docu, and it arrives as a pdf with the webdev server installer.
Tehre is also a step by step guide in english for install on both windows and linux on Pete's blog (uncle pete's corner), if memory serves.

As for your error, you are not giving us much to work with.
So from the little we have (the error message, without any context), I'm going to try and guess:
You are geting that error message while tryint to publish a site
in your message, "the application" is the web site you are trying to publish
in WebDev settings a web site is always linked to a webdev user account (admin is the only user created by default), and when published, the application info needs to be saved in the webdev settings
"The user" running the install needs therefore to be authorised to do that
"the user" can be XXX if the install is done remotely (upload a package by ftp, ask webdev=user running the webdev server process to run/install it) or the logged user if using a deployment package and running the exe by hand on the server

So depending on if I guessed right and what kind of install you are running, you need to check the permission of a specific user

Best regards
