Helicon Zoo modules enabled on global IIS server level

[Webio Profile]

Hello,

can you add some articles how to enable Helicon Zoo modules globally for all websites on current IIS server (for example PHP and node.js)?

Regards

EDIT: I know I can manually add (adjusted for PHP 5.4):

Code: Select all

      <add name="php.pipe#x86" scriptProcessor="php.5.4.pipe" path="*.php" verb="*" modules="HeliconZoo_x86" preCondition="bitness32" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script" />
      <add name="php.pipe#x64" scriptProcessor="php.5.4.pipe" path="*.php" verb="*" modules="HeliconZoo_x64" preCondition="bitness64" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script" />

in applicationHost.config but it woudl be nice if you could tell if this scenario is supported.

I guess you mean to have an ability to turn on PHP feature for all web sites by default like it is done by Microsoft PHP module, so all requests to *.php files go to PHP engine? I personally think it should be an option and since Web Platform Installer does not provide any options during product installation we can't turn it on by default. But we can make some admin interface where you can change Zoo Module settings like this.

Adding handler mapping to the applicationHost.config should do the job.

We are currently working on a new version of Helicon Zoo to provide better configurability, etc. so we collect use-cases. Thanks for your feedback, it is important to us!

Regarding use-cases then you can think about adding some tab in website edit form in WebsitePanel (which you already know) which will allow managing installed Helicon Zoo modules. This will allow to enable/disable handlers on website level.

Any ETA od new version of Helicon Zoo?
