We just upgraded from Windows 2000 Server to 2003 Server last weekend. Now
I have a bizarre problem with a site containing strictly static HTML page
content. At the bottoms of some pages, I get what looks like the tail end
of pages of other websites hosted on the same server. When I scroll to the
bottoms of the pages I will see text from a completely different website
that is being hosted on the same server. That other website's content is a
static HTML page as well.

It's sort of like a strange "buffer overflow" situation -- but IISRESET
doesn't help and the *same* other website content appears on the *same*
pages in this site, so it doesn't seem to be a random
whatever's-in-the-buffer-gets-displayed type of thing...

If I simply go in and edit the "broken" .html page and enter a blank line or
anything to effect a change to the file, and resave the page, the problem
goes away!

Hello,

Are you using any ISAPI filters, reverse proxy software, or other things
that can cause this? As Bernard, I have never seen this in IIS, and the only
thing i can think of is that something else causes this.

Is this happening on HTML pages only? Is the content Always at the BOTTOM
of the page?
If so, check to see if you have HTML footers enabled on the site or folder
level. This is on the Document property page of the site and folder.

hope this helps.

- Filters installed on the Master WWW web are "fpexedll.dll" and "WebTrends
Cookies" (we do not use FrontPage, must be a leftover from some other
application)

- Yes, this only occurs on HTML pages (as far as I can tell)

- Footers are not enabled on the Master WWW site or the problem website

- There is no script mapping for .html on the Master WWW site or the problem
website. Problem website only has an .asp script mapping (even though ASP
is not used on that particular website)

- We use IIS compression. After the Windows 2003 upgrade last weekend, it
moved the "IIS Temporary Compressed Files" folder from my previously
assigned "d:\IIS Temporary Compressed Files" drive to "c:\winnt\IIS
Temporary Compressed Files"


Here is a sample problem page (in this case pulling from another page on the
same website):
http://ww2.tmiexpos.com/cme_tracking.html

The bottom text is being taken from this page:
http://ww2.tmiexpos.com/expotogo.html

I have copied the html files to txt files so you can view the raw source:
http://ww2.tmiexpos.com/cme_tracking.txt
http://ww2.tmiexpos.com/expotogo.txt


Just now at the command prompt, I simply copied cme_tracking.html to
cme_tracking_resaved.html and the page displays correctly! See:
http://ww2.tmiexpos.com/cme_tracking_resaved.html


Very odd....

Hello,

I can reproduce this when using Internet Explorer, but i cannot reproduce
when using wfetch (from IIS Resource Kit). That is, i see your problem if i
access the page using Internet Explorer, but the page is working correctly
when using wfetch.

So, it seems to be something that is checking what browser (or something
else) i am using, and causing this problem. It looks however like it went
away now (i cannot see it anymore in my browser), is this correct?

Yes, the problem has appeared to gone away! Server has not been rebooted
or IIS restarted since my last post.... Hmmm, I wonder if it is something
weird with the old fpexedll.dll or Web Trends Cookies in the Master WWW
properties. I checked the fpexedll.dll file version - it is 4.0.2.7523 -
looks like that might be very old, circa 1999 according to the MS copyright
date on the dll.
The Web Trends Cookie dll is fairly old too, version 3.1.0.0, circa 2001.
This is part of WebTrends Professional Suite 5.5c
