II7 - Handler Mapping not run

Question

I've created a script handler mapping on a Windows 2008 64bit with IIS 7. The handler dll never gets called, and I get a 404 error. On an identical box, only running 32bit Windows 2008, it runs fine. Below is the handler maps in the web.config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <handlers>
            <add name="DeltekTE" path="*.jsp" verb="*" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="D:\NewTime\DeltekTC\iisproxy.dll" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="bitness32" />
            <add name="DeltekTC" path="*.msv" verb="*" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="D:\NewTime\DeltekTC\iisproxy.dll" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="bitness32" />
        </handlers>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

In the ISAPI and CGI Restrictions at the server level, the dll is allowed to run. The Network Service user and IIS_USRS are allowed to read and execute the dll. Why doesn't the mapping work?

You probably want to make sure your app pool is set to 32 bit, not just your handler .

Try looking at the Application pool in IIS Manager, click the app pool, then click Advanced Settings. Change the "enable 32-bit applications" to true.

You can also use AppCMD to change this:

C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\AppCMD.EXE SET AppPool "DefaultAppPool" /enable32BitAppOnWin64:true

You would need to change "DefaultAppPool" to the app pool name:

C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\AppCMD.EXE LIST AppPool

You could also add a new AppPool just for this:

C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\AppCMD.EXE ADD AppPool /name:"New32BitPool"
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\AppCMD.EXE SET AppPool "New32BitPool" /enable32BitAppOnWin64:true
