Enabling MCMS WAE v2.0

Before enabling WAE on your web site it must be MCMS enabled. It is recommended to use Configuration application to enable/disable WAE. However you can manually enable WAE on your web site.

Note: After you enable or disable WAE you may have to restart IIS and clear “<Windows Installation path>\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<.Net Framework Version>\Temporary ASP.NET Files” folder for changes to take effect.

Make sure you have ASP.NET client library and Microsoft Internet Explorer WebControls client libraries mapped at the root of your site. If you do not have aspnet_client and webctrl_client folders, than:

• create aspnet_client virtual folder mapped to ASP.NET client library (usually C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client)
• create webctrl_client virtual folder mapped to IE WebControls client library (usually C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\webctrl_client)

Enabling WAE with a Configuration application

Run configuration application. Only MCMS enabled sites are displayed in IIS tree. Check web applications where you want to enable WAE. The sites for these applications will be also WAE enabled. Click OK to save your settings.

Manually enabling WAE

1. Map CMS virtual directory under your web application to <WAE Install Folder>\Server\IIS_CMS
2. Map CMS virtual directory under MCMS application to <WAE Install Folder>\Server\IIS_CMS
