Setting up Cruise Control .NET 1.5 on Windows 7 + IIS7
I have been setting up a new continuous integration system on my laptop for some of my personal projects and thought it would be a good time to upgrade to Cruise Control 1.5. I came across some issues during the setup so I have put up my notes on the process in case anyone else has the same issues.
My Development Environment
Windows 7 (64-bit)
IIS 7.5
Cruise Control 1.5
Nant 0.86
Visual Studio 2008
Installation Steps
- Download the installation package from Sourceforge.net. As of writing this article, the latest version is available here.
- Run the installer. This will copy the files you need and create the IIS site/virtual directories needed to access Cruise Control .NET from your browser.
- Open your Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager (Start -> Run -> inetmgr )
- Create a new website point the site to <INSTALL PATH>\webdashboard.
- Change the bindings for the new site to a unique port. ( I use port 90 and the CCNET is then accessed via http://localhost:90)
- Open the application pool created for this site and change the 'Managed pipeline mode' to 'Integrated'.
- Open the services manager (Start -> Run -> services.msc) and start the Cruise Control .NET service.
