Complete the Transflo DMS Server Pre-Install Tasks
The TRANSFLO® Database, TRANSFLO® System Agent Service, TRANSFLO® Deployment Agent Service, TRANSFLO® Deployment Administrator, TRANSFLO® Management Reports application, and TRANSFLO® Administration Tool are all installed during the installation of the TRANSFLO® Server.
Note: You must have SQL Server installed on your network and it must be accessible by the computer on which you install your TRANSFLO® Server. See “Supported Client Operating System Platforms” on page 2 for supported versions of Microsoft SQL Server.
Best Practices:
-
If you are performing an upgrade, it is best to ensure all of your TRANSFLO® users are off the system, and to stop all TRANSFLO® services.
You should also run iisreset before you upgrade your TRANSFLO® Server.
-
Before you upgrade your TRANSFLO® Server, you should stop the IIS App Pool that the TRANSFLO® Web Service is using. In order to prevent impact on other websites using the Default IIS App Pool, you should create a separate App Pool for your TRANSFLO® Web Service.
Note: When Installing the TRANSFLO® Server on Microsoft Windows® Server 2008 (x86 and x64) with IIS 7.0 or 7.5 as the default platform, the following IIS 6 Compatibility components must be installed as roles for IIS/:
-
IIS 6 Management Compatibility
-
IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility
Register ASP.NET with IIS/.0 on Windows Server 2008
If you are installing the TRANSFLO® Server on Windows Server 2008, you must register ASP.NET with IIS 7.
To register ASP.NET with IIS 7:
1 From the Start menu, open Programs and Features from the Control Panel.
Click the link labeled “Turn Windows features on or off”.
The Server Manager window opens.
3 From within the Server Manager tree, click Roles.
4 Click on Add Roles.
5 Select Web Server (IIS).
6 Click Install if it is not already installed, and follow the install instructions.
7 From within the Server Manager, click on Roles if it is not already selected.
8 Click on Add Role Services.
9 The Add Roll Services window opens.
Ensure the following check boxes are selected:
- Web Server

- IIS Management Scripts and Tools
- IIS Management Compatibility
- IIS Metabase Compatibility
10 Follow any confirmation messages.
Note: If .Net 4.0 is installed and the Website application pools are running as ASP.Net v4.0 DefaultAppPool, then the ISAPI and CGI Restrictions feature must be edited to Allow ASP.NET v4.0.301319. If this is not done, the site will not load.
Run Multiple Concurrent .NET Framework Versions
If you have to install a .NET Framework version that is 3.5 or lower on your TRANSFLO® Server, the .NET Framework 4.0 installation will be corrupted and the TRANSFLO® Server will stop working.
To correct this, the .NET Framework 4.0 will need to be re-registered.
To re-register the .NET Framework 4.0:
1 Open a Windows® Command Prompt as Administrator.
2 Type “cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319” at the Command Prompt to change the directory.
3 Type “aspnet_regiis.exe -iru” at the Command Prompt to register the
.NET Framework 4.0 on IIS.
The following will appear on the screen showing the progress of the registration:
Start installing ASP.NET (4.0.30319).
...........
Finished installing ASP.NET (4.0.30319). C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319>
4 Log into the TRANSFLO® Administration Tool to verify there are no errors.
Create an Application Pool for the Transflo Web Service
In order to prevent impacting other websites using the Default IIS Application Pool, it is recommended that you create a separate Application Pool for your TRANSFLO® Web Service in IIS.
To create a dedicated Application Pool:
1 In the IIS Manager, right-click on Application Pools in the tree on the left.
Select "Add Application Pool" from the pop-up menu.
Note: In Windows 2008 and Windows 2012, you must install IIS Manager from the Control Panel’s Programs and Features utility. You also must install the .NET Framework 4.0

This is usually
http://<WebServer>/TRANSFLO® .ezView
where <WebServer> is the name of the Web server that is hosting the ezView website.
The ezView Log On page opens in the browser.
Note: If your page opens with the error, “Http Error 403.14 - Forbidden error after installing ezView,” this could be a result of the .Net Framework being installed before IIS. In order to resolve this issue, you can re-register IIS. To re- register IIS, open the command prompt as an administrator and run the following command:
c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319>aspnet_regiis -i
Note: If you install custom URL Rewrite Rules in IIS 7 or above, they may affect ezView’s functionality.
For example, if you create a rule that forces URL characters to lower case, ezView’s Ajax calls will fail.
Note: If you upgrade ezView from a version prior to 4.7.0.0334, the Searchable and Visible settings on the Document Class Field Permissions may be lost. Before performing an upgrade in this scenario, print the Field Permissions for all of your Document Classes in the ezView Configuration. You will have to manually re-configure these settings. (For information on configuring ezView, see the current version of the TRANSFLO® ezView System Administrator’s Manual.)
