Thank you so much for responding. I followed your procedure but I failed to connect to it http://servername. On top of the browser it says HTTP 403 (forbiden).
I have created WI sites just like what you have asked me initially over and over in the past but still unable to connect to it. I did try it again following your procedure but to no success.
I did check my running services and saw that "Citrix XML" is not listed in it. Does this mean anything to you?
Thanks again for trying.. Please help!

Can you access the site from the server??
Also Citrix XML will not be listed if it uses port 80,
Try changing the port to 8080 and you will be able to see the service.
Try changing the port to 8080 and you will be able to see the service.
The "Citrix XML Service" should be listed in Computer Management:Services and Applications:Services and be set to Automatic (and be running...).
You can change the XML Service port to 8080 by going to a Command Prompt and type:
ctxxmlss /R8080
This will re-register the XML service to run on port 8080 and free up the port 80 for web services...
How far did you get with the WI,
1) configured?
2) failed attempt to connect from client (no repsonse from WI)
3) Got the WI logon, can't login
4) Can login, no apps

xml service is not listed still, even after changing to port 8080
Hmmm... Ok, let's hit the basics..
1. Did you see "Citrix XML Service" listed in the Computer Management:Services as asked above?
2. Is IIS installed on this server?

thank you for responding.
Citrix XML service is still not showing up under services
Yes, IIS 6.0 is installed on the Server. I have published web sites in IIS. I can connect to the published site through an ICA client, but i cant through a web browser, that is why ive trying to creat the web interface. I want to be able to connect to my IIS published apps through a web browser http://testcitrix

In the Wizard:
1. Select Site Type: MetaFrame Presentation Server <Next>
2. IIS Hosting:
- IIS Site: Default Web Site (unless you are hosting multiple websites on your box and have a specific IP for WI)
Path: Take the default path (/Citrix/MetaFrame1 - 1st MetaFrame default site...) <Next>
3. Configuration Source: "Use Local Configuration"
4. Server Farm:
- Set your Farm name to whatever you want to specify
- Add in the Citrx servers that will be accessed through this WI
- Verify the XML service port: either 80 if you weren't already running an IIS website, or usually 8080 if you are..
<Next>
5. Confirm info <Next>
6. Create the site <Finish>
Then you can manage the site by opening Metaframe Presentation Server Admin:Suite Components:Configuration Tools:WebInterface:Website
Good Luck,
Scooter
