It would be really good if you could provide any pointers as to what is missing which causes this issue. Thanks in advance.

Let me know how you get on. I’ll try and turn my notes into a post at some point. I think there were a couple of changes I have to make in the TileCache scripts themselves due to Python errors.

you said, that you were able to get TileCache running on IIS7 with PyISAPIe. Could you give me a hint, how the original tilecache.py has to be changed?

——————————
from TileCache import Service, cgiHandler, cfgfiles

if __name__ == ‘__main__’:
svc = Service.load(*cfgfiles)
cgiHandler(svc)
——————————

I guess, since it isn’t a CGI script, that has to be adopted… currently I get:

Request handler failed

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “C:\Python25\PyISAPIe\Http\Isapi.py”, line 49, in Request
raise ImportError, “[Loading '%s'] %s” % (Env.SCRIPT_TRANSLATED, str(Val))
ImportError: [Loading '\\?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\tilecache\tilecache.py'] ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘argv’

from PyISAPIe import Env
from hashlib import md5
import imp
from os import stat

Handlers = {}
TimeMap = {}

def Request():
Script = Env.SCRIPT_NAME
Key = Name = ‘__’+md5(Script).hexdigest().upper()
Handler = Handlers.get(Key, None)
mtime = stat(Env.SCRIPT_TRANSLATED[4:])[8]
if not Handler or TimeMap[Key] < mtime:
Handlers[Key] = imp.load_source(Key, Env.SCRIPT_TRANSLATED).Request
TimeMap[Key] = mtime
return Handlers[Key]()

All the best,

Jonathan

Thanks for that. I seem to have a common problem with many django-to-ISS wranglers and that is how to properly connect the two together. I was wondering if you had solved the riddle completely. I can run the hello.py script and I have also been able to copy the ISAPI.py file into my root directory and given it the name rundjango.py. Then when I hit http://mysite.com/rundjango.py I get the “Welcome to Django” screen. But how do I get the PyISAPI/ISAPI connective stuff to know when I hit http://mysite.com/myapp/ that this is python/django?

On the downloads page there are a few options:

PyISAPIe-1.1.0-rc4-Source.zip
PyISAPIe-1.1.0-rc4-Py2.6.zip
PyISAPIe-1.1.0-rc4-Py2.5.zip

The first is the sourcecode for the DLL (C++ and Visual Studio solution files). The second two point to the DLLs – select Py2.6 or Py2.5 depending on your installed Python version. These downloads contain the compiled DLLs.
