 - Website failing after hours Hi there We have been having a rather strange problem on one of our classic ASP websites for a couple of weeks now. During office hours when under load the site has 100% uptime. The problem is, that after hours (usually around 2 AM-6AM) and over weekends, when there are hardly any visitors, the site just becomes non responsive at times. It basically just times out. It runs on two Dell PowerEdge servers with Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, a web server and seperate SQL server. The site is not that busy, only about 16 000 unique visitors per day, so it is not a server performance issue as we run decent hardware. The technologies used are IIS 6.0 and SQL Server 2000 with load balanced Cisco switches and firewalls between the DB and Web servers. There are no errors in the System or Application logs, the http performance log is also fine with nothing out of the ordinary. The symptoms are pretty strange, the site just starts timing out at night. There are no services scheduled at the time that the site goes down, it also does not go down at the same time every night or over weekends. When I restart IIS, the site comes back online for a while then just goes down again. However when I do not restart IIS, the site keeps on going online and offline at random until permanently recovering by itself around 6 AM before business hours and then staying online throughout the day for the cycle to repeat itself the following night. Because it only goes down at night, it basically rules out the majority off causes that I have looked at; - Performance issues on the servers (would have failed under load) - Anti-Virus/Firewall etc issues interfering with the server (would have caused problems during the day) - Website application issues (would have caused problems during the day and we use the same CMS for a few sites and we don't have issues on any other site) - Backups on the server (Backup schedule does not correlate with downtimes) - No errors reported in eventlogs or http performance logs - Windows updates (no updates were installed at the time that the problems started) - Server changes (there were no known changes to the servers at the time the problems started) What I am still looking at; - DoS attacks at night, however there is no evidence of this and we do not maintain the firewalls so log access is almost impossible and the ISP does not wan't to play along, which makes me a bit suspicious. - General network issues at night in the datacentre (this would however not explain why an IIS reset temporarily fixes the problem) - The site was working perfectly until a certain date, then suddenly it started going down. Trying to find out what changed. - What I find funny is that certain connections to the server seems to go through. For instance on one internet connection the site is available but on others it times out. It also times out on one connection only to work 10 seconds later after a refresh on the same. So it feels like something is interfering with sessions. My main focus is however still on IIS 6.0. I feel that is where the problem is but I am pretty much stumped currently. Anyone experieced anything similar? Know of what could be causing this? Sorry for the long and rambling explanation, if you need any more details please let me know. Thanks!

 - Very Lost on what I want to do... Hey folks, I've done basic troubleshooting with standard web site installs on SBS with regard to IIS, but I am lost when it comes to my task below. I'm sure these questions have been asked millions of times, but I am having trouble coming up with the right phrases needed for searches. Here's what I am trying to do: 1. Setting up two public domains: mail.myserver.com and ols.myserver.com. Each point to one IP address. At that IP address is a Windows Server 2008 system running IIS7. 2. If someone comes in over ols.*, they are redirected to mail.* 3. mail.* is OWA residing on the same server. 4. I would prefer the true FQDN of OWA be mail.myserver.com instead of myserver.com/owa. I know I will need to do the heavy lifting when it comes to getting it setup, but I am just trying to understand, in general, how something like this is setup. For instance: If I type in "mail.myserver.com," is IIS going to go to a site? A directory off Default? Or a setup virtual directory? How does it know where to go? Any help is appreciated... m Tag: Control Panels for IIS 6 Tag: 404515

 - renaming the server Hello: We had to rename the Windows 2003 server, after installing IIS. Is it necessary to reinstall IIS? I ask, because the "Default Web Site" was appearing in IIS both before and after the renaming. Now, it's gone.

 - IWAM_machinename account not created during IIS installation I am trying to install IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003 with less than stellar results. I have attempted many searches in regards to this issue and seem to be finding very little information regarding it. I install IIS through the add/remove components option under Add/Remove Programs. After the installation is complete, I look under local accounts under computer management and notice that there is only the IUSR account and no IWAM account. Looking in groups, the IIS_WPG group is missing as well. When I open the IIS Admin console, it is completely blank. It mentions in the log file that it could not be created due to a password requirement not being met. Security policy shows that password length is 7 characters, complexity is disabled, password history is 24 and minimum age is 1. Is there anything else that I might need to configure or look at in order to get a completed installation of IIS? Tag: Control Panels for IIS 6 Tag: 404507

 - MOM web console and IIS I'm not sure if this is a MOM problem or an IIS problem. I've installed MOM 2005 on a Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6. When I try to go to the web console from IE 7, it gives me an error page that says "This website requires you to log in," but it never gives me the option to enter credentials. When I try to access the web console from Firefox, it lets me enter my credentials, but then gives me the error "Directory Listing Denied." I'm using an admin user name, so there shouldn't be a problem with permissions. Also, if I allow Directory Browsing through IIS, it will let me see the folders and files in a directory list, but it doesn't show the actual web console UI. Any ideas?

 - New to IIS and need setup help We are setting up IIS on Windows 2003. We copied our files and structure off of the old NT 4.0 Server and the basic Website works. We have some security issues we are trying to work out but we can not yet figure out how host multiple websites on our server. I assigned a unique IP but it did not take us to the website. In fact we got an error 403 if I remember correctly. Is there a simple way or a document that shows the step by step on how do multiple websites. We have a deadline coming and no trainging dollars. Thanks, everyone is a great help on these forums. -David Tag: Control Panels for IIS 6 Tag: 404484

 - can't open SOME files Hello all, I have a problem which is being a major hindrance to being able to work. I have a web (actually a subweb) on a Windows 2003 box, with FPE installed, and all. I can open the project fine in Visual Studio 2008 (on Vista). But all of a sudden yesterday, I can no longer open CERTAIN files. Some files are completely fine, but other ones, when I try to open them, I get an error about "Unable to get file '<filename.ext>' from the Web server." The status bar says "Getting file ... from the web..." as usual, but then that error pops up. I tried recalculating the web. I did a server health check. I stopped and restarted IIS. I deleted the subweb and recreated it. I checked the physical file security properties... I cannot find anything off about the files that don't work, but it just won't let me open them. Any ideas???

 - Synchronised Folder Problem Hi All, I have a problem with synchronised folders. Basically I've mapped a drive to a folder on a remote server. I've then marked this as synchronised with the laptop I'm working on. As soon as I disconnect from the server, however, IIS not long appears to see the files and I get an error "operation not supported..." although I can happily work with them in everything else. Can you please advise as obviously I'd like to be able to show the sites to clients from the laptop when not connected to my own network! Cheers, Adam M. Tag: Control Panels for IIS 6 Tag: 404476

 - Adventures in debug land Hello, I'm running an ASP.NET 2.0 application on a Windows Server 2003 x64 server with IIS 6.0. Over the last 1-2 weeks I've been getting regular messages in my Application Log like this: Faulting application w3wp.exe, version 6.0.3790.3959, stamp 45d691cc, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 5.2.3790.4062, stamp 462643a7, debug? 0, fault address 0x0000000000027d8d. From some research I've learned that this is a crash in the IIS process serving my website, and is probably caused by an error in my code. Most posts I've found recommend advanced debugging with several options in tools, nearly all of which have been a bust: * IIS State (apparently) does not work on x64 processors * Debug Diagnostics Tool 1.0 does not work with SP2 * Debug Diagnostics Tool 1.1 was never released as an x64 build * WinDbg is supposed to work, but I'm having lots of trouble with it I'm hoping someone here can help me with WinDbg. I've been unable to get the debugger to attach to my w3wp.exe process without slowing the process to the point that the website becomes unusable. I've tried attaching to the process with Uninvasive checked and unchecked, but both times the debugger seems to require me to periodically press certain commands to keep the process running. I've also tried using the ADPlus script in Crash Mode, but that too seems to severly limit the site as it pauses to get stack dumps for every little exception. I've tried telling it to not dump on First or Second Chance Exceptions, but it still practically kills the responsiveness of the site. Does anyone have any advice? I just want *something* to wait around until w3wp.exe crashes (corresponding with the App Log event) and give me a crash dump for analysis. I don't need minidumps on each exception and I don't want the site to go unresponsive while this is happening (which might even prevent it from crashing in the first place). Any help is much appreciated. -Neal Tag: Control Panels for IIS 6 Tag: 404474

 - DebugDiag won't display analysis We have a Win2K3/IIS6 web server running custom code, and a few months ago the web services began to crash about daily. DebugDiag 1.0 had been installed previously, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled version 1.1, configured the rule, and dump files were created. Unfortunately, DebugDiag won't perform an analysis on any of these files - the file gets about 10-15% loaded, and then DebugDiag hangs. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall, but the same thing happens. I haven't tried to go back to version 1.0, but I may try this tonight. Does anyone have an idea of what I might try?

 - Capturing crash dumps with iisdiag Hello, I've been trying to debug crashes in w3wp.exe (faulting module webengine.dll) and came across advice to install iisdiag & the Debug Diagnostics Tool. I did this and set up a few crash rules, none of which was capturing any data as implied by the wizard & other sources online. I finally got something to happen when setting up a crash rule for all instances of w3wp.exe, but the crash dumps created by the tool are always 0 bytes in size. I also get random "Unknown Error" dialog popups when using the tools, often when first launching it or activating/deactivating a rule. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the tool several times, rebooting when asked, all to no avail. Is there a known issue about this that I'm missing? I'm running IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003 (64bit). Thanks for any help. Tag: Control Panels for IIS 6 Tag: 404459

 - 2003 server running IIS We have a windows 2003 server running IIS, mysql and php. Our intranet website is located on a SAN and is accessed via a redirect for address: http://intranet.oururl.co.uk We need to create a complete copy of the site for development and testing which we can access via http://devnet.oururl.co.uk How can we set up a second website/redirect if the ip address is the same as for the existing site? The website appears to be set up correctly because in IIS manager the devnet file structure is shown - as it is for the intranet website. However, we cannot start the website service or the redirect because it suggests the port number is already used (for the intranet site). If we use different port numbers for the website and redirect then it doesn't appear to pick up the new redirect as it takes us through to the intranet site rather than the devnet site. Can we use the same ip address, and if so what port numbers should we use? Tag: Control Panels for IIS 6 Tag: 404456

 - IIS 6 App Pool Cycling Our organization runs a classic ASP (VBScript) application that is not well behaved. During periods of heavy traffic, worker processes spike into high CPU utilization conditions, affecting the performance of all sites on the server. When I first came here, the routine procedure was to watch Performance Monitor manually, logging on to the box and forcibly killing worker processes stuck in high CPU conditions through Task Manager. This was utterly unacceptable, so I implemented IIS app pool recycling based on CPU health parameters. Implementing IIS pool cycling caused the rise of the dread Service Unavailable message (which of course wasn't a problem when staff was forcibly crashing pools). I think I have a reasonable understanding of why (connections bound to a worker process that is draining and no longer servicing requests). My assumption is that the only way to completely eliminate Service Unavailable in this scrnario is to shut off HTTP Keep-Alive entirely, to avoid persistent connections and force each request to establish a new connection and hence worker process binding. Is that correct? What are the performance implications of such a change? I know. I know. "Fix the code." That's something that we're working on, but in the mean time, I need a better Band-Aid. There are a lot of issues, from poorly constructed SQL queries in ADO, misbehaved third-party controls, etc. The application is overdue for a re-write in .NET, but that's going to take quite a while. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated. In particular, I'd like to better understand the connection/worker process binding mechanism, and the "graceful" worker process shut down and start up procedure.

 - App Pool Shutdown After Invalid Identity I have a WCF web service hosted in IIS 6 w2k3 server. The app pool runs as a domain account. Under normal circumstances, it works fine. Occasionally the server has an unexpected shutdown and comes back up but the network is still down. IIS can't validate the app pool account credentials because there's no network, and logs event 1021: "The identity of application pool, 'STLUP' is invalid. If it remains invalid when the first request for the application pool is processed, the application pool will be disabled." The network comes back up and a request comes in to the service, but IIS still can't create a worker process. I get event 1057: "The identity of application pool 'STLUP' is invalid, so the World Wide Web Publishing Service can not create a worker process to serve the application pool. Therefore, the application pool has been disabled." The app pool can then be restarted manually and all is well again. Was the first message misleading when it said "If it remains invalid when the first request for the application pool is processed..."? Based on that, I would expect when the first request comes in and the network is back up, that IIS would validate the credentials and create the process. I also isolated the issue by creating a simple html page, disabling the app pool account, and restarting IIS. I get the expected 1021 event. Then I re-enable the account and browse the page, but still get the 1057 and "Service Unavailable" until I manually start the app pool. Is this the expected behavior? It doesn't seem very robust that IIS can't recover from invalid credentials on startup, when the credentials are valid when the request comes in.

 - Nothing in IIS admin We have a windows 2003 server running IIS 6. When we click on the IIS Manager, it says 'there are no items to show'. IIS is running and serving up websites, yet we see nothing in the manager. Is there something we're missing? Tag: Control Panels for IIS 6 Tag: 404428

 - Windows authentication prompting I have truly spent over a week now tearing my hair out. I have searched *everywhere* on the web and tried *everything*. For my sanity, I do hope someone here can help. I have Win 2003 R2 SP2, IIS 6. With "Integrated Windows authentication" (NTLM) switched on, I can access an (ASP.NET) web page ok on my server. I click to cause a "long operation" to start. This long operation is just a Sleep(90 seconds). After precisely 60 seconds up pops a "Windows credentials" dialog in web browser. I can reauthenticate; it will then reappear 60 seconds later. After precisely 3 of these, or if i ever "cancel" the dialog, I will get a 401.1 Access denied. The point here is that this makes debugging of ASP.NET application impossible. Note that I have reproed with just a sleep, no debugging. I am unsure when this started happening. I feel crazy, but I cannot have managed to develop for so long with this going on. I have tried different web browsers, cross machines, different permissions etc etc etc. I have reinstalled both IIS & ASP.NET 2.x on machine. I now (think) I find that on another server running Win2003 *R2* SP2 this happens there too, but on one running Win2003 no-R1/2 *SP2* it does *not* happen (but don't rely on that 100%). I am fairly sure this is an IIS issue. WHAT in the world is causing IIS 6 to send web browser a "re-authenticate" every 60 seconds?????? Tag: Control Panels for IIS 6 Tag: 404425

 - PHP 5 Hi I installed php 5 via the installer. Naturally it doesnt work on my IIS 6 server. I do have the php ext set to allowed. Unfortunmatley there are many other extenstions and no good instructions on which should be loaded. I am trying to get an off the wall open source app called MantisBT to run. My dev people love it but I think it sucks as evidenced by what a pain it is to setup enough of the whining, Is there a good source for PHP setup howto on a IIS6 server?

 - ISAPI filter to modify IIS logging Hi, We're running IIS6 websites behind a load balancing applicance with W3C logging enabled. The issue is that for every request logged it displays the load balancers ip address as the client-ip therefore making it impossible to determine the source of the request from the logs. The load balancer does however add the original ip address to an X-Header in the http header. What we'd like to do is to be able to take this X-Header value and insert it into the IIS logfiles as the c-ip value. Does anyone know if this is possible perhaps using an ISAPI filter? Thanks - J.

I'm currently running a couple of servers (Windows Server 2003 Standard x64
Edition) and am looking for an affordable and reliable control panel
(similar to Plesk).

Is Plesk the best? Or can anyone recommend an alternative?

Many thanks,

Alex
