Forwarding to Virtual
I am a IIS newbie so please be gentle.....
I am running Windows XP Pro. I know I am limited to 1 Web with
unlimited Virtual directories and that is also does NOT support Host
Headers. So.....
What I would like to accomplish is this.
1)Someone types in www.whatever.com - DNS Servers know to hit my box
with this address.
2)My Web sees www.whatever.com and redirects to proper Virtual
Directory without user knowing any different.
Easy? Please help. Feel free to point to another IIS Help site for
reference OR please be specific yourselves.
THANKS!!!

Is there host name size limitation in LMHOST file ?
I have a LMHOSTS file with an entry
192.168.1.5 xx.12345678.com
and when I ping to xx.12345678.com, it works and ip address 192.168.1.5
is translated. But when I changed to
192.168.1.5 xxx.12345678.com or
192.168.1.5 xx.123456789.com it cannot find the IP address anymore
(unknown host). Is there limitation for host name in LMHOSTS file ?
Thank you.

Application Configuration button not working
After installing IIS 5.1 on Win XP pro, along with FPSE 2000 and the FPSE 2002 download, reboot, etc. I have ASP pages hanging with no page displayed and no errors or timeout (after five minutes). On trying to get to the Application Configuration window in IIS properties I find it looks enabled but gives no response. No window pops at all. I can leave the properties and continue with simple web work but ASP pages hang. I have uninstalled all the above software and reinstalled it. IE is configured to NOT show Friendly HTTP error messages. No errors in the Application or System Event logs. Tag: Classic ASP and IIS 6.0 Tag: 305748
"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action

Client Side Cache control
I am currently rolling out some changes to an IIS5 website running ASPX
pages on Windows 2000 server. With IE6 client cache control set to "check
for newer version of each page- automatically", there has been some weird
behaviour which could be best summarised by a new-page jumbled up with an
old page.
Server side cache is flushed. However, are there any specific IIS
cache-control I could use on the live server now so when the new site is
rolled out to the public, everyone see the new stuff. At the moment, we are
using the following:
<META http-equiv="Expires" content="0">
<META http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<META http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache">
Is it worth using any other IIS HTTP Headers/Expiration settings (on top of
the above)? Is there a "perfect" combination of *Client side* Cache
settings to use?
Note I can't control what browsers the users (the public) use? So can't
force the users to "Check for newer version of each page- Every visit to the
page" :-( Tag: Classic ASP and IIS 6.0 Tag: 305744
Problem with IIS6.0
Hello everybody
I've just upgrade my server 2000 to a web server 2003 (and so from IIS5 to IIS 6) . Since I did it, the web site (in ASP.NET) which worked very well on the Windows 2000 server, is very slow. If someone have an idea from where does it come from, all idea are welcomes! (I precised that doesn't came from the network, because it was working very well before and it is only used for this application)

How to get IISWebDirectory path in a script (ADSI) ?
I need to retrieve the path of a webdirectory in a

IIS Admin: big troubles
Hello,
my company runs IIS4 on NT4 sp6a.
After a big server crash and consequent no-boot-problem, I brought it back
to life by reinstalling the OS into a new hard-disk (sp6a and some post-sp
fixes and patches too), then copying "brutally" almost everything (hey, I
said "almost", huh?) into the old "C" drive. I could not reinstall it all
over because also SQLServer and Exchange Server co-exist on the same machine
... after all, this has been working damn good for almost 6 years so far;
thinking about a new installation simply drove me crazy.
Well, apart of this, I have now some administration troubles with IIS.
Although I can run the IIS Admin Service Manager from my browser and make
modifications on the already existing domains, I cannot add new domains
because I always get a message telling me that the name I have specified
already exists (this is not true, of course).
I can not use the MMC-based Internet Service Manager because it says that
the snap-in fails to initialize.
Any clues? (We have to add about 25 new domains within this week ...)
Thanks for the patience to read and understand my poor english.

Unable to access Internet service
About 3PM yesterday, the Internet service did not work.
The computers are network througout the house via a hub.
When I tried to access the Internet it stated that there
was a firewall preventing us from using the Internet and
something about http proxy and IP address. Is it
possible for the host computer to block our access? We

Setting up Remote Desktop Web Connection on W2k Pro
Hello:
Forgive me if this has been addressed already, but I need some advice. I'm trying to setup the Remote Desktop Web connection on a w2k pro machine, but have hit a block. I can connect to the http://myserverip/tsweb/ from my laptop at home , but when i try to connect (i specify the server name, select to send the logon information and specify the administrator account) I get the following error message:
"The client could not connect to the remote computer.Remote connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to accept new connections. It is also possible that network problems are preventing your connection. Please try connecting again later."
I've done the following:
-forwarded port 80 & 3389 from the router to the correct internal ip
-installed IIS on the internal pc
-installed the remote desktop activeX control on the internal pc
The only thing I can think of is that the internal computer is not part of a domain. The logon credentials a user name and a domain, but I've been specifying the workgroup name.
If anyone has ideas, please let me know 8)

Setting up a web server
I'm looking to put together a dedicated web server for a dozen domains that
I own. Currently they are hosted elsewhere, with about 3 to 4 GB traffic
per month total with most of that traffic from two of the domains. Many
dynamic pages using SSI and Perl CGI, plus SSL will be needed. Traffic is
expected to double or triple over the next couple of years, and additional
domains to be added.
My preference is to use Windows 2003 Server Web Edition running IIS 6.0.
Initially I'm considering using a fractional T1 or SDSL connection, 384K,
moving up in speed as the need is perceived. I'm only about 1/3 mi from the
network connection point, so do I need a T1 type connection or will SDSL be
just as good? SDSL is less than half the cost of T1 for the same bandwidth.
Is 384K sufficient for my initial needs?
The providers I have been pricing supply 1 to 29 static IP numbers, and some
provide DNS service. What is a useful number of static IPs to have? I
undersand that with virtual hosting many sites can share the same IP. Some
providers charge for the DNS service beyond the first one or two domains.
Do I have to use their DNS service, or do the free DNS services I've seen on
the web provide the exact same function? Is there any advantage, or
disadvantage, of setting my machine as a DNS server?
The servers I'm considering are from Dell and Gateway. The minimum
configurations I'm considering are 2.4GHz P4, single CPU, 512MB ECC, RAID
SCSI with two drives. How significant are the advantages of dual Xeon CPUs,
1GB ECC, and RAID SCSI with 3 drives? Any other Hardware considerations? Tag: Classic ASP and IIS 6.0 Tag: 305648

executables - simple config issue?
I'm transferring a website to 03-Server (with IIS 6.0)
that was originally on NT4 (with IIS 4). Several of the
pages call a corresponding executable that pulls data
based on user selections then creates an html output.
The problem I'm having is that on the 03-Server, when an
executable is run:
1) ie tries to download it
2) when it runs, nothing happens except a stackdump file
The program was originally built to run on linux but was
modified with Cygwin for our NT4 system. I updated to the
latest version of cygwin1.dll but no dice.
I've been playing around with the configurations of IIS
with no luck. I'm sure it is something obvious that I'm
missing, or maybe it is a new setting in 2003-Server?
Any suggestions? Tag: Classic ASP and IIS 6.0 Tag: 305639
Setting UTF8 encoding in IIS using the metabase
Hi,
I'm writing an application which requires output in UTF8. If I set the
codepage using @CODEPAGE (i.e. <%@CODEPAGE=65001%>) at the top of my
ASP page then everything works as expected.
Microsoft claim though that you can set the metabase ASPCodepage
property which seems an easier route rather than going through and
setting codepages explicity in every page in my site.
However, I simply can't get this to work. I've altered it at different
levels in the m
