Purpose

When installing iQSonar 2.14.x on Windows 2012 the install will complete but report that IIS was not found on the system and was not configured even when IIS is installed properly. This can be resolved by adding the iQSonar Web Application manually as detailed below or by downloading the attached script that will streamline the procedure.

Solution 1 - Script file to add the iQSonar Web Aplication:

Download the Win2012iis.rar file and follow the instructions in the readme.txt file - this will automate the steps detailed below via a batch file.

Solution 2 - Manually add the iQSonar Web Application:

Pre-requisites:

IQSonar installed.

IIS Role installed and configured with features enabled per documentation. The following features must be enabled in IIS (from IQSonar Scan Prerequisites):

ASP.NET
.NET Extensibility
ASP
ASAPI Extensions
ISAPI Filters
Server-Side Includes
Default Document
directory Browsing
HTTP Errors
HTTP Redirection
Static Content
Request Filtering
WindowsAuthentication

Tip – add the IIS Role and .NET runtime before running any Windows updates for easy install. For issues installing .NET see Installing DotNet 3 on Windows 8 /Server 2012

Step 1 - Create the iQSonar Application Pool

Add an iQSonar Pool with the following settings:

Name = IQSonar
Net CLR Version = v2.0.50727
Managed Pipeline mode = Classic
Check the: Start Pool Immediately and click OK
Highlight the IQSonar Application pool and select Advance settings from the menu on the right and set Enable 32-bit-applications
to True.

Step 2 – Add the iQSonar Application to the Default Web Site

Create a new application by right clicking on the Default Website and select 'Add Application'
Alias = iQSonar
Application Pool = iQSonar
Physical Path = C:\Program Files (x86)\iQuate\iQSonar\Sonar
Click on OK to complete the application additon.
Exapand the IQSonar folder then right Click on the API subfolder and select "Convert to Application" - the application pool should be iQSonar - click on OK.

Step 3 : Edit Web.config to add the database location and credentials and the handler mappings

Edit C:\Program Files (x86)\iQuate\iQSonar\Sonar\web.config
Modify connectionString with details in clear text:

{code:xml}
      <connectionStrings>
        <add name="databaseConnection" connectionString="factory=System.Data.SqlClient;server=SERVER\INSTANCE;database=CMS_DB;uid=USER;pwd=PASSWORD;" />
      </connectionStrings>
{code}

Add the following lines near the bottom of the file (between </iquate.dal> and </configuration>)

  </iquate.dal>

    <system.webServer>
        <handlers>
            <add name="SHT" path="*.sht" verb="*" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv2.0,bitness32" />
            <add name="RPT" path="*.rpt" verb="*" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv2.0,bitness32" />
            <add name="XML" path="*.xml" verb="*" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv2.0,bitness32" />
            <add name="PNG" path="*.png" verb="*" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv2.0,bitness32" />
            <add name="JS" path="*.js" verb="*" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv2.0,bitness32" />
            <add name="CSS" path="*.css" verb="*" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv2.0,bitness32" />
        </handlers>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Sample Web.config file (Click to download)

Re-encrypt Web.config:

Open Command Prompt as Administrator
cd to .NET Framework directory - %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\
Run aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/iQSonar"

Step 4 - Change permissions

Change permissions C:\Program Files (x86)\iQuate\iQSonar\Sonar to allow cache files to be created correctly.
Add the IIS_IUSRS local group to the Sonar Directory.
