Configuring the Target Server for Migration

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

You must configure the target server before you can perform the migration process. The configuration process creates virtual directories in the FTP root mapped to the physical drives of the server.

Configure the target server for migration by completing the following steps:

  1. At the command line, type **cd \**installation_path, where installation_path is the fully qualified path where you installed the Apache to IIS 6.0 Migration Tool, and then press ENTER.

    This changes the default folder to the folder where you installed the tool. For more information about how the Apache to IIS 6.0 Migration Tool was installed, see Installing the Migration Tool on Computers Running Windows.

  2. At the command line, type aiismt_setup, and then press ENTER.

  3. When prompted to create a virtual directory, type y to create a virtual directory on the disk volume you want to use for migration.

    You must select at least one disk volume and create a virtual directory.

    Important

    You cannot create a virtual directory on a drive formatted with the FAT file system because access rights to directories on that drive cannot be set.

The aiismt_setup program creates the virtual directories in the FTP site root and configures FTP to listen on TCP port 21.
