Making Telerik work in Windows Apache Server

[yashaswi pk]

Hi

I am going to host my .Net Web Application with lots of Telerik controls used to be hosted into Windows Apache server machine. I tried out localy to make the telerik controls work on Apache server, but the controls are not rendering in the web page. Does Telerik work with Apache server and what are the necessary changes need to be done for that. Please guide me step by step as I am new to Apache Web server.

We are using Telerik Ajax Controls for our Project.

As you can see on the system requirements page the Telerik RadControls require IIS to function properly.

You mean to say that telerik controls is not supported in Apache Web Server in windows OS.
Is their any other way to achive this.

Thnaks & Regards

Hi Yashaswi,

That's right, Apache Web Server is not officially supported. Anyway, you can try the approach described in this blog post.

Hi Yana,
Using the example of the blog, I was able to ride the Telerik in the Apache Web server, however, you must add a line that allows the virtual path.
You can use this entry in httpd.conf:

# enable the Apache HTTP Server to correctly serve ASP.NET application content
AddHandler asp.net asax ascx ashx asmx aspx axd config cs csproj licx rem resources resx soap vb vbproj vsdisco webinfo</span>

<ifmodule aspdotnet_module>
# ----------------------------------------------------------------
# Enables mod_aspdotnet to process ASP.NET content
# ----------------------------------------------------------------
AspNet Files Directories Virtual

# ----------------------------------------------------------------
# Mount the ASP.NET application
# ----------------------------------------------------------------
AspNetMount /path "<path to Your App Files>"

# ----------------------------------------------------------------
# Map all requests for to the application files
# ----------------------------------------------------------------
Alias /portal "<path to Your App Files>"

# ----------------------------------------------------------------
# Allow asp.net scripts to be executed
# ----------------------------------------------------------------
<directory <path to Your App Files>>
 Options FollowSymlinks ExecCGI
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
 DirectoryIndex index.htm index.aspx Default.aspx default.aspx
#default the index page to .htm and .aspx
</directory>


# ----------------------------------------------------------------
# For all virtual ASP.NET webs, we need the aspnet_client files
# to serve the client-side helper scripts.
# ----------------------------------------------------------------
AliasMatch /aspnet_client/system_web/(\d+)_(\d+)_(\d+)_(\d+)/(.*) "C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v$1.$2.$3/ASP.NETClientFiles/$4"

In fact, I tried a lot while resolving this issue. However after a great findings and trials finally I tried below and worked well.

Need to create empty "Telerik.web.ui.Resource.axd" file in root folder. Then only some controls will work properly.
Otherise it gives an error or does not function well.

Hope this helps.
