Express Server ArcIMS plugin

[davidg]

I am trying to create a map service in ArcIMS and keep getting this error in the Administrator Console:

[code]Adding Service...
> Jul 9, 2009 3:17:29 PM: java.lang.String
<?xml version="1.0"?><ERRORS><ERROR message="[ERR0125] Error when trying to administer Service."/><ERROR message="[ERR0930] Check your map file's layers and data source connections. ArcIMS service abc cannot be created." /></ERRORS>[/code]

The map service is not created in ArcIMS Administrator.

I installed the ArcIMS Express Server plugin without a problem and followed the instructions LizardTech instructions for Creating an Image Service. The AXL file created by the irlFetch GUI is this:

We are running Express Server 6.1, ArcIMS 9.1 SP1, Windows 2003 Server. ArcIMS is running in a distributed environment, meaning the application and spatial servers are 2 physical machines. Express Server is running on a 3rd different machine. Any help would be appreciated!

You could try installing the Express Server plug-in for ArcIMS in both places (the spatial server and the application server). The installed dll is needed to make the irl connection work.
