Installing Dispatcher on IIS 8 Issue

[Former Community Member]

Hello All,

I have been trying to install the newest version of the dispatcher on IIS 8. I was following along with how to install the dispatcher on a web server located here:

http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/dispatcher/disp-install.html

Once I finished this, I went ahead and configured the Dispatcher Flush on my Author instance, and tested the connection and it says that it was successful. The problem is when I go to activate content, it is not working with the dispatcher. I set up the custom log file, and this is what it is showing:

[Wed Feb 04 15:41:47 2015] [W] [4052(2576)] Unable to create file C:\inetpub\wwwroot\.stat: Permission denied [Wed Feb 04 15:41:47 2015] [W] [4052(2576)] Unable to create file C:\inetpub\wwwroot\.stat: Permission denied [Wed Feb 04 15:41:47 2015] [W] [4052(2576)] Unable to create file C:\inetpub\wwwroot\.stat: Permission denied

Also, when I try to go to localhost:80 in my browser, it is displaying my author instance from port 4502, and I get an error if the author server is not running. I am not sure if this is suppose to do this or not. I am running all instance on one machine, and I am running AEM 6. 

If anyone could please provide any insight, or point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

Is your intention to use Dispatcher with your author instance? Typically, it is used with the publish instance to cache published pages.

After installing on IIS, the next step would be to configure Dispatcher: http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/dispatcher/disp-config.html.
