    - IIS 6 Problems Hi all, I am migrating an ASP application from IIS 5 to II6. I have a DC with windows 2003 server. The application on II5 was set as high(isolated) priority. When I moved the application to IIS6 I get following error: Description: Error: The Template Persistent Cache initialization failed for Application Pool 'DefaultPool' because of the following error: Could not create a Disk Cache Sub-directory for the Application Pool. I have read some of the postion regarding this situation. I have tried : 1. Adding the IIS_W 2. Adding the NetWork Service User to the specified folders. Any ideas on what might be the problem? How do I set up a high ( isolated ) pool in IIS 6, and could this be the problem ? Thanks John Tag: IIS Admin Startup in XP Tag: 308340

    - How to turn off an Information Logging related to NNTP Dear Microsoft Engineers, Recently, after I installed an IIS on my W2K server, there are lots of Information Logging related to NNTP. The event ID is 420 and 421. The 420's content is "Pickup Directory Status Report. In the last 60 minutes, the pickup directory for virtual server 1 has successfully received 0 articles." The 421's content is "Post Status Report. In the last 60 minutes, the virtual server 1 has successfully received 0 posts." How can I turn off such a logging on the System Log....? It appeared every 1 hour on the system log. Please give me any suggestion and solution to solve this problem Thank u for your attention Best Regards, Rico Tag: IIS Admin Startup in XP Tag: 308317

    - XP Pro's IIS 5.1 I was trying to do a performance test of a .NET Web Service running on XP Pro's IIS 5.1 and I started to get an exception (...WebException...Access Forbidden...) when I run more than 10 client threads concurrently. I just realise the problem (which I suspect to be) when I read one of the previous posts from MS MVP mentioning that XP Pro's IIS 5.1 is limited in terms of connections. So, does this mean that XP Pro's IIS 5.1 can only accept up to 10 concurrent requests only? If my point is right, how do I go around solving this problem in order to run my test with more than 10 concurrent client requests in XP Pro? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    - IIS web content replication via internet Hi I would like some advice with the following. We're planning to have two standalone win2k or Win2k3 servers running IIS: one production server and the other for DR purposes. Webe content is failry static. The two servers are at different sites and the only way they can talk to each other is via the internet. What I'd like to do is have a automated scheduled replication of web content that has changed on the Production server to the DR server done over the internet securely. Can I use the File Replication Service (FRS) to do this? Will it be secure (I'm trying to use as little else as possible, such as IPSec VPN). Would appreciate your comments. Thanks SP Tag: IIS Admin Startup in XP Tag: 308311

    - IIS disappears under XP Pro Until recently I was working with PWS under Win 98 but now run XP Pro SP1. I installed some webs I'm currently working on, went to change the default root web as per Help, and now not only is the server not running (http://localhost/ just times out) but when I double-click on the IIS entry in Administrative Tools I get a momentary hourglass then nothing. Task Manager reveals that MMC is running but there's no visual interface to work with. MMC still works fine with SQL Server Enterprise Manager. I tried reinstalling SP1 but this made no difference. Any help would be appreciated! Ian Davidson Tag: IIS Admin Startup in XP Tag: 308308

    - Can requests for page parts be coerced to the same server I anticipate a problem that may occur when we deploy our reports on web farms. We have reports that generate both tabular and graphic output in a single Recordset pass. Each report page request writes a temporary graph GIF. Subsequently, another request for the GIF is issued due to an IMG tag on the report page: <IMG SRC="IMG.asp?graph123.gif"> IMG.asp responds with the GIF that was generated by the report page request. The problem I anticipate is that requests for GIF files may be directed to different servers on the web farm than the server on which the GIF is written, resulting in a "File not found" error from IMG.asp. It could be solved by having IMG.asp generate the GIF by reissuing the query but this would double SQL Server's workload. Using a network drive to store the GIF could also solve it but this is not an option because network share access will be disabled on the web farm for security reasons. Is this a problem? Does it depend on the type of web farm and/or web farm configuration? Is there a work around that can coerce requests for the graph GIFs back to the same server? Thanks in for any insights, Paul Sullivan Tag: IIS Admin Startup in XP Tag: 308306

    - Why is microsoft.com running on Linux? Sometime ago a friend of mine told me that www.microsoft.com was running on Linux and I also saw some articles on the net saying that, but I couldn't believe it until today when I saw it with my own eyes. I was told to go to www.netcraft.com and plug in microsoft.com on the search and oh boy they were right! Every server that I clicked in the results were showing that microsoft.com is running on Linux, so I did my research and the explanation that I saw was that the MS-DNS servers were terribly bugged down with the latest security flaws that they had to relay on Linux. What's going on here? Wasn't Microsoft supposed to be the best? I feel very disappointed to learn this. Does anyone know more details? So long. Tag: IIS Admin Startup in XP Tag: 308305

    - That whole ASP shutting off problem I've seen several posts about this, and was wondering if anyone has a solution yet: Hosted on a Windows 2003 server, ASP pages just stop loading, and don't produce any errors (the load status bar of the browser just slowly increases infinitely until you cancel the load). All html pages work fine, and the ASP service must be restarted (recycled) to get the ASP pages working again. This has been a pretty consistent problem with my website and two separate hosting companies. The current hosting company is telling me that they have no way to detect, trace, or log ASP errors, and that neither Windows 2003 server nor IIS 6 has any way to do so. How is that possible? Is the only way to track down a problem with ASP to look through every page's code line by line, and with the human eye predict what will cause an error? I'm not an expert programmer, but isn't this an absolutely outlandish claim? How can a hosting company claim that there is no way with the technology and software they're using to find any errors that lead up to ASP stopping? Or even any ASP error period, like an invalid object, or incorrect path? Anyway, any feedback on this would be most helpful. Recycling the ASP service is fine and all, but I'm trying to do things right and track down the actual cause, which I feel must be something about the ASP code. Thanks for ANY help PS: Sorry if you hate that I posted this to 2 groups; I'm pretty desperate to get some help and both groups seemed applicable. If there is somewhere else I should post this, please let me know. Newbie Supreme Tag: IIS Admin Startup in XP Tag: 308280

    - How to reserve a port a boot up? I have an IIS5.0 machine. A single IP is doing many instances of SSL, and all use different ports... https://site1.com https://site2.com:1143 https://site3.com:1148 Whenever I boot, a "services" process seems to take one of my ports, causing a 115 error. What I would like to do is keep these ports from being used _before_ IIS has a chance to get going. Can I just add some junk in system32 \drivers\etc\services to "account" for that port being used? I'm using a range of 1115-1168. Not my idea to use those, but that's how the m/c was set up when I got it. TIA, Wally Tag: IIS Admin Startup in XP Tag: 308263

    - ISAPI filter question - data pointer validity Hi all I've got a question on ISAPI filter development. I'm developing a filter, that registers for being notified of SF_NOTIFY_SEND_RAW_DATA event, and messes around with the IIS data being passed in HTTP_FILTER_RAW_DATA structure. My question is: for how long does the data pointed by 'pvInData' pointer stay valid? Is it still valid in SF_NOTIFY_END_OF_REQUEST, or does it invalidate just after sending the data to client? So far, I've found nothing on this matter either in MSDN or Platform SDK docs. Will be grateful for any piece of information. Greets - Jacob - Tag: IIS Admin Startup in XP Tag: 308262

    - IIS 6 help! - Cant authentication to Virtual Dir on another machine Hi ladies and gents I'm having problems getting authenticated to a Virtual Directory on my IIS6 machine that is pointing to a resource on another server. Basically I have a test site - "http://jedi/" On this test site, I have created the virtual dir "http://jedi/test" which points to a shared directory on another server n the same domain. The "Share Permissions" and the "NTFS Permissions" on the target share are set to "EVERYONE - Full Control" The virtual directory "jedi/test" is configured in IIS to allow integrated and plain text authentication, (thought it doesnt matter what I set this to) also the setting "always use the authenticated users credentials when validating access to the nework directory" is enabled behind the "Connect As" button on the Virtual directory tab. Still whenever I try to access this resource from a browser, I always get the Username and Password prompt!. Even if I try to put a valid username and password into this box using the full DOMAIN/Username syntax, I just get a 403.1 error, after 3 retries To see if the web server was actually getting any credentials from my browser I cleared the IIS logs Then I tried accessing the page again, and cancelling out of the Username/Password dialogue I see these lines in the logs 2003-10-20 16:12:44 W3SVC1079270444 SRV-03 10.0.5.63 GET /test - 80 - 10.0.7.19 HTTP/1.1 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322) - - jedi 401 2 2148074254 1849 210 15 2003-10-20 16:12:44 W3SVC1079270444 SRV-03 10.0.5.63 GET /test - 80 - 10.0.7.19 HTTP/1.1 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322) - - jedi 401 1 0 2021 305 0 2003-10-20 16:12:44 W3SVC1079270444 SRV-03 10.0.5.63 GET /test - 80 DOMAIN\Username 10.0.7.19 HTTP/1.1 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322) - - jedi 401 3 5 1801 461 31 Notice the 3rd entry, - so I know that the IIS 6 Server is getting the credentials from the client machine as it should. Still IIS just returns the error 403.1 - "You are not authorized to view this page" "You do not have permission to view this directory or page due to the access control list (ACL) that is configured for this resource on the Web server" I know its not an ACL problem on the target share on the target server, becuase NTFS and Share both have 'EVERYONE - FC' permissions, I have also checked to see that I can get to target share to which the virtual directory refers, by typing the share name directly from my computer. Straight in - no probs. Can anyone think of a reason why IIS 6 might refuse to authenticate in such a way? help appreciated as always Tag: IIS Admin Startup in XP Tag: 308260

    - Connection Pooling I am using a third party NON Microsoft ODBC driver that is ODBC 2.51 Compliant. I am using a utility supplied with this third party client software to monitor active connections. When using ASP the active connection (to the third party service) persists for 60 seconds after Connection Close and Set Connection = Nothing. The driver (or it's server service ) itself does not "actively" support connection pooling and cannot be configured to do so. In essence it is a passive partner in such scenarios i.e. it will allow a pooled connection by another application to persist - timeouts etc are all handled by the controlling application. I have tried to stop this "persistence" by setting the CPTimeout (specific to the driver) to zero as well as to not pooled in \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\driver-name\CPTimeout In addition I also set StartConnectionPool to zero in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\ASP \Parameters to ensure pooling was disabled. An ASP Connection to the third party client produces the following Connection property result 89 OLE DB Services -7 This indicates pooling is not enabled. Finally, a VB connection to this client driver, performing the same kind of Open + Close program, cleans up with virtually no delay. I'm using Windows 2000 SP4, IE 5.0. Any ideas?

    - Host headers and integrated windows authentication problems Hi, here's the problem. It's fairly long......and it is seriously starting to annoy me too! :-) IIS5 - Windows 2000 Server I've created a new website called Systems Team. It's running on port 80, same port as the default site, so I've given it a host header of systems.test.co.uk. The bit after systems is our domain name. I've created a DNS entry in our test.co.uk zone called Systems pointing to the IP of the server. No problems so far. All website access is fine using a URL of http://systems.test.co.uk. Now, when I restrict permissions on the folder that the website maps to it all goes pear shaped. I have permissions set so that only Domain Admins have rights to the folder. The website is configured for Integrated Authentication and Basic Authentication. Basic is so that we can access it if we're not logged into a PC as ourselves. Now when I go to systems.test.co.uk, I get prompted for a username and password. If I enter my details which I'm already logged on with, I get in fine. So for some reason, the integrated authentication isn't working. Now if I remove this new site, add a Virtual Directory under the default site, so I just reference the site by http://servername/systems I get in with no problems. Soooo...it seems to be a problem with using Host Headers and permissions on the website folder. Anyone got any ideas? Cheers, Adam Tag: IIS Admin Startup in XP Tag: 308234

    - IIS and Other Services Problems - XP Pro All, (Stand-Alone Laptop XP Pro, developers machine- my apologies for all non-Microsoft references) This started when I attemped to configure IIS to run PHP - after the PHP page failed, I couldn't read ASP or ASPX either, (TomCat and JSP still work) and gradually discovered that IIS was fried (it wouldn't even open). I have also noticed various messages of errors regading WMI, RPC, the Event Log and dependencies. I tried a few system restores, and re-installing IIS. The best I can get is IIS to show the default web service as stopped, but it will not start. IIS shows no dependencies in the services box, when it should show RPC and Security Accounts.......I cannot read the Event log, it shows "interface not available". I can provide more detail, but I'm hoping this is some permissions issue and/or registry tweak. I have checked for viruses, doesn't appear to be a problem........I don't want to mess with anything else, since the machine appears to be mostly functional but I would scream if I have to use the recovery disk and spend 3 days re-installing - Any help MUCH appreciated.

HTTP 401.2 - Unauthorized: Logon failed due to server configuration Internet Information Services Technical Information (for support personnel) Background: This is usually caused by a server-side script not sending the proper WWW-Authenticate header field. Using Active Server Pages scripting this is done by using the AddHeader method of the Response object to request that the client use a certain authentication method to access the resource.

    - Reproduce IIS Snap-in behavior Hi We have developed an SMTP event sink for IIS. During deinstallation, the dll can not be removed because it is loaded by the iisadmin service. Stopping the virtual server with the IIS snap in solves the problem, the dll is unloaded OK. What we need is to do the same programmatically. The tools provided to work with the metabase are of no use. When you send a command to stop a virtual server (either with IISABO, ADSI or WMI) the server almost inmediately stops and sets its state to stopped, but it still has threads processing what is left in the internal queue, thus our dll is still loaded. The IIS snap-in also sends the command to stop the server which also stops inmediately, but after the server is stopped, the snap-in knows how to wait for all virtual server threads to finish. This is what we need to accomplish. Thanks in advance for any help you could provide. Best regards Jorge Tag: IIS Admin Startup in XP Tag: 308228

Now all of a sudden IIS is logging the message into Win 2000 event log "ASP 0100 Out of memory. Unable to allocate required memory.." The ASP service also restarts after this happens a few times. This causes other parts of the application to behave erratically. Has anyone encountered this problem before ??? Any help would be appreciated Tag: IIS Admin Startup in XP Tag: 308226

    - problems with .LNK files in IIS6 Hi all I have a directory on my web server where I have placed some shorcuts (.lnk files). I can see the .lnk files listed with my browser when I connect to the directory in question. but the web server always returns "404 file not found" whenever I click on one of them Any other file in this directory is fine for example. 'test.txt' works ok but 'test.lnk' doesnt - i just get 404, but the file is there, and the permissions are ok. I think its something to do with the file extension ".lnk" - can anyone help me with this. Is there anything i need to do in IIS or in the Windows OS, so that IIS can handle shortcuts to files. thanks in advance J Tag: IIS Admin Startup in XP Tag: 308185

    - IE, sockets and IIS I'm seeing some strange behaviour with a website I'm building and I want to understand why this is occurring. Some background: First, I'm testing on a win2kpro so I'm limited to 10 connections. The site uses a lot of frames and almost every frame has images. I'm running an MSwast stress test for another website from the same machine. Now, sometimes when I browse the site with IE I get the "page unavailable" error in some frames and some images don't show up. After a refresh they appear again. This only started this morning so I'm thinking that it's because of mswast. When I look with netstat I'm seeing a lot of socket connections so I'm wondering if IE is unable to create anymore socket connections to IIS. And that's what I want to know. How does IE(6) handle frames and images at the low level? Does it create a socket for every frame and image? what happens if IIS can't create anymore sockets? Tag: IIS Admin Startup in XP Tag: 308182

    - IIS6 on w2k3 suddenly stops for a few seconds Hi! We have a w2k3 (web edition) on a web server. When the number of connections reaches a bit over 400 all network traffic through iis stops. The visitors get this message: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. The httperr-logs does not report anything about a recycle. We have tried to shut down "enable pinging" under "application pool->health". We have also shut down "enable rapid-fail protection" but neither gave any difference. We tried to run the iis6 as iis5 by enable that feature. But with the same result. The big question is why! We have changed switch, network card and such. The same machine has been running with windows 2000 without any problems for a long time, so I dont believe its any hardware problems. We are running other web servers on windows 2000 with iis5 that holds over 1800 connections without any problems. My connection string is: "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=x;Initial Catalog=x; User ID=x; Password=x;Network Library=dbmssocn;" It seems that it has to do with the number of connections but I am not sure. But directly after the "iis network" has died everything works for a few minutes until we have around 400 connections and then it dies again. We tried to have a ping-script running while testing and we can still ping the sql-server and all other things in our network but the iis6 (asp-pages) cannot connect to the sql-server. Our log files constantly reports stuff like this (what does this means?): 2003-10-20 12:47:17 xxx.45.xxx.14 14366 xxx.73.xxx.121 80 - - - - - Timer_ConnectionIdle 2003-10-20 12:47:17 xxx.237.xxx.24 50484 xxx.73.xxx.121 80 HTTP/1.0 GET /rum/top.asp - 868276144 Timer_MinBytesPerSecond 2003-10-20 12:47:17 xxx.101.xxx.10 1148 xxx.73.xxx.121 80 - - - - - Timer_MinBytesPerSecond 2003-10-20 12:47:17 xxx.209.xxx.118 2222 xxx.73.xxx.121 80 - - - - - Timer_ConnectionIdle It does x Timer_ConnectionIdle every 30 seconds. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks! ///Patrik Tag: IIS Admin Startup in XP Tag: 308175

    - Why are .js files processed and altered in IIS? Hi, I'm developing an ordinary website for my client. So far so good. On every page one or more .js-files is included (client side), everything works just fine on my server as well as on the clients until a few weeks ago. But on my clients server some text (company specific informations, looks a bit like a page footer or something) is added to the end of every single .js-file. They look good if I download them through FTP, but for some reason they are being changed when I download them through a browser. My client, of course, knows nothing about how this happened. Everything was working fine on their server until a few weeks ago, when they installed some service packs on the server. Since then some application obviously processes the .js-files when they are called through the IIS. I doubt it has anything to do with the service packs, but my client is not aware of having done any other changes to the server. I checked the web server configuration on their server (Application configurations -> App mappings), there are no mappings for the .js extension there. Where else can I look for info about this, find out what happens to the .js-files and why? (And ultimately do something about it, since their application now works poorly.) / Linda Tag: IIS Admin Startup in XP Tag: 308171

    - ssl start again My question got lost in translation. I have 2 websites on the same machine SSL.MyMachine.com Normal.MyMachine.com I want the guy who hits SSL.MyMachine.com to only be able to use port 443 and never port 80 I want the guy who hits Normal.MyMachine.com to only be able to use port 80 and never port 443. That is because I do not want some guy going to https:/SSL.MyMachine.com/data on port 443 then changing the URL to https:/Normal.MyMachine.com/data because that is a whole different web site. How do i require ONLY 443 on one site and ONLY 80 on the other. Becuase the secure portion does not use Host headers!!!! Armored Truck analogies are welcome! Tag: IIS Admin Startup in XP Tag: 308133

Sounds like you've got a corrupt metabase.bin.
Check if you can retrieve the backup made by IIS.

Ok, i got it !!

the file is located in System32\inetsrv\ --> i had 2
files , one very small metabase.bin (8k), one
metabase.bin.tmp (larger 300K) --> i renamed metabase.bin
in metabase.bin.old and restored metabase.bin.tmp as
metabase.bin

it works now...

(Looks like this .tmp file was made when i converted my
system from FAT --> NTFS, but not sure about that)
