    - Permissions for IIS virtual directory Hi, I am trying to set up a folder under my "My Documents" folder, called say MyWWWRoot, as a relocated web root directory under IIS 5.1 (Windows XP Pro). Using the IIS management console I created a new Virtual Directory under the Default Web Site node pointing to this folder. I kept the default permissions offered by the wizard. Later I clicked on the Web Sharing tab of the properties sheet of MyWWWRoot folder and clicked the "Share This Folder" radio button. I did not allow other users of the compter to share the folder, only web users. However when I enter in the web browser the URL of a web page under this directory, using "localhost" and the appropriate alias, I get the error message "You are not authorized to view this page". Can anyone help with the following questions: 1. What more needs to be done to allow the folder to be viewed by web users? 2. In the IIS management console, whilst the IISHelp node in the tree view may be expanded to reveal its subdirectories, the tree node representing my virtual directory cannot be expanded to show its sub folders, which can only be seen by clicking Explore in the context menu. Why is this? Many thanks in advance. Regards Enquiring Mind Tag: Metabase modification logging Tag: 392686

    - IIS 6, ISAPI, EXE, PIPEs Hello, I have Win Server 2003 running more than 3 years well. There is couple webs, where content update is made by calling foo.exe from ISAPI dll. FOO.EXE unzips new files into web folder. It is working well when started from CMD. By the end of last year I had HDD failure and I had to reinstall server. All is running well now instead of these updates. It seems IIS doesn't permit to run exe file from ISAPI dll. Both dll and exe are allowed in iis extensions. There is no line about it in EvenLog. I think it is not ACL rights case, because situation is the same when I put IUSR... into administrators group. Thank you very much for any recommendation!

    - HOW TO back up just one web site? Our IIS 6 are hosting many web sites (like 200) and we need to back up just one of them (we don't want to back up entire metabase). How can we do that? We tried with simple copy of main folder but when we restore it all subfolder/file original permissions were missing. Any help will be appreciated. THKS!

    - Inconsistent Image Rendering with IIS I have coded a class that uses the bitmap class to generate graphics from True Type fonts. I'm using it primarily to render 3 of 9 barcodes from a True Type font. When the exact same code is used to generate a barcode from some Web servers the barcodes print nice and clean. From other Web servers the barcodes print out very blurry. As a result, the blurry barcodes will not scan. We have eliminated printers and browsers as the culprit and narrowed it down to the Web server. We eliminated browers as the culprit by using the same brower on the same machine to print barcodes served from 2 different instances of IIS. On one site the barcodes always print clean and on the other they always are fuzzy. Since we are always printing to the same printer, that is eliminated as a point of failure. Does anyone know why images rendered using the Bitmap class might render differently from one IIS (v5.1) server to another? Is there a setting somewhere that I don't know about? Here is some additional information: Images Encoded as JPEG with 0% compression On all machines (fuzzy and clean) .NET Framework is V1.1.4322 On all machines (fuzzy and clean) IIS version is V5.1 Thanks, Corey Tag: Metabase modification logging Tag: 392665

    - Application Pool Hi all, I,m trying to run a CGI server through Win2003 Server IIS but within the application pool if I don't use the LOCAL SYSTEM in the Identity tab then it doesn't work. I have even tried to add a new user as a Local Administrator and granted some domain restricted polices on the machine. Now my question is, does any body know what level of access or default access right the Local System Account has. Please respond as I need to get this application up as soon as. Thanks in advance.

    - Machine.config got corrupt? Hello. Running Win 2003 Server and IIS. We started getting in internal server error (HTTP 500) from IIS. I tracked it down to the machine.config file. When I tried to edit the file through the IIS mmc (Properties/ASP.Net/Edit Configuration button on the bottom) is was presented with an error that alluded to the "byte order mark prefix". Sorry, I don't remember the exact message. To fix this I opened the Machine.config file in notepad and changed the value of the "encoding" property in the preamble from UTF-16 to UTF-8, and everything now works. So my questions are: 1) How did this get corrupt? 2) Is there a problem with having UTF-8 as opposed to UTF-16? 3) What would I need to do to get this back to UTF-16? NOTE: I found out from the operations guys that they did a Windows Update on the server last night. Could that have clobbered it? Thanks in advance, Mike Tag: Metabase modification logging Tag: 392653

    - HTTP 400 Hi, Does anyone know for what specific reasons might IIS return a 400 response code to an IE6 browser? In the server log the corresponding Win32 code is 121 (which appears to indicate a timeout), this appears to be borne out by the request taking just over 900s to "fulfil". I see a clutch of half a dozen of these responses occurring to a single user during a half-hour period. No other user of the system during the entire day was affected. The user who *was* affected had no problems outside of this half hour window, despite using the system throughout a period of almost 12 hours on this particular day. The page being loaded was the same each time, and was an asp page that is part of a web application (requires windows authentication). All pages of the web application are stateless and in fact the application is clustered across 3 identical servers running W2K (service packed) and IIS5. I can see this result on two of the three clustered servers. I do not believe anything was particularly "happening" on these servers at this particular time as opposed to any other time of the day. As regards the page itself, if was loaded five times by the user with response code 400, and another 250 times during the day with a 200 response. Across all users, for the day, successful responses were around 2000. The user claims to have restarted their browser a couple of times during the window, it is unlikely that they logged off or rebooted. They are running W2K Pro and I would assume that both browser and o/s are pretty much service-packed up - this is an internal user so their environment is quite tightly controlled. Confused. Any ideas what might have happened? Thanks, Pete Tag: Metabase modification logging Tag: 392651

    - Trying to link to another server We have two registered URL's - one to our IIS server/intranet site on port 80 and one to the IIS server/OWA on the Exchange Server on port 81. I want to put a link on the intranet site to the OWA. If the link is to the external URL of the OWA it works fine. But if the link is to the internal IP or to the internal server name, it works fine from inside our network but from the internet, it cannot connect. Please note I'm not trying to redirect here, just create a link. I would appreciate any help Tag: Metabase modification logging Tag: 392648

    - privileged operation by non-privileged user using ASP System : IIS 6 on Windows 2003 SP1 I have created few ASP pages which perform some privileged operations if run under privileged account, Now the users who will access these pages don't have that privilege themselves, and I can't give that privilege to them. My requirement is 1. Restrict access to this pages based on user's group membership (I think NTFS permission on ASP pages will help here.) 2. ASP pages themselves run under privileged account so that privileged operation can be done by non-privileged but properly authenticated people.

    - IIS 6 | URL Mapping with ISAPI Filter | ASP.NET 2.0 Hello All, We have configured IIS 6 websites using Host Header to have multiple domain names mapped to a single website (to optimize the IIS resource utilization) . However, I want each domain to be pointing to a different folder, something like: website1 |-------Root |-------Domain1 |-------Domain2 |-------Domain3 website2 |-------Root |-------Domain4 .... and so on The webiste1 HomeDirectory points to website1\Root, while I need all Host Header (domain names) to point to their respective Folders. This 'Domain Name to Physical Path' mapping is kept in a text file. We wrote an ISAPI Filter which is registered for IIS Event 'SF_NOTIFY_URL_MAP', and it fetches the information from the text file and accordingly changes the PhysicalPath for the incoming HTTP Requests. This setup is working for all types of file extensions so far including ASP.NET 1.1 Recently we have installed .NET Framework 2.0 and configured all ScriptMaps to use version 2.0 (aspnet_regiis -r), and since then the redirection explained above does NOT work for ASP.NET pages. Any domainName which has ASPX page is looked at in HomeDirectory of the corresponding website, while any other file extension is picked from the configured mapping. Can somebody please explain this behavior? Is it because of 'Faulty Installation/Configuration' of .NET 2.0? Thanks in advance ~TJ Tag: Metabase modification logging Tag: 392632

    - IIS 5.1 (XP SP2) can connect via localhost cannot connect via network IP Hello, Configuration: I am running IIS on Windows XP SP2 I have a router connecting to the internet and an additional Macintosh box. The router is set to give static ip addresses to the win box (10.0.0.2) and to the mac box (10.0.0.1). Windows Firewall is turned off completely (even the Service is turned off) Problem: >From the Mac box i cannot connect to IIS on the win box (not using http://10.0.0.2 and not using the static dns name i configured in the router). I CAN connect from my mac box to Shared Folders on my win box, so no connection problem. A port scan from the mac box, doesn't pick up port 80. On my Win box I can connect to my local website using http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1, but cannot connect using the network ip (http:// 10.0.0.2) nor using the dns name. TCPInfo shows that port 80 is indeed inetinfo, and that it is listening (but local only ? : inetinfo.exe:3352 TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING) (see dump below) Does 0.0.0.0:80 mean that it listens only to the localhost?

    - Write permissions in IIS7 I'll try this again, sorry for continuing topic on new post. I'm not proficient with IIS, let alone IIS7 (new for me in Vista). I used XP and IIS there was simpler to use, so I'm somewhat confused. My website is the default website in Vista/IIS7. I would like to get a directory on my site that will allow PHP5 to write a file to it, and another web app to also write a file to the same directory. The directory will not allow writes to it, no matter if I'm surfing my site at home on my system, or from the web. If anyone could please point me in the right direction on how to set a directory with write permission. With XP's IIS, all you had to do was right-click on the folder and checkmark "write"... and it was as simple as that. In Vista this is not as simple or evident.

YES or NO" If I click NO nothing happens. If I click YES I am re-directed to http://myaddress and I get the message "The page must be viewed over a secure channel". I don't want to go to http://myaddress, since my site is running on https://myaddress. What is re-directing me? I'm sure its not the code since I have nothing in the code about redirecting.

    - Windows Server 2003 NLB Health Checks I'm using Windows NLB to cluster IIS servers and is working fine. NLB, however, blindly forwards traffic to port 80 even when IIS is down on one of them. The only way to avoid it handling request is by doing an "wlbs stop" to remove an affected server from the cluster to avoid traffic to an affected box. Is there a way NLB can be used to do health checks before forwarding traffic? Tag: Metabase modification logging Tag: 392605

    - IIS6.0: Out of memory We are running classic ASP (3.0) on a Windows 2003 Server and IIS 6.0. A few weeks ago the web application begun to report errors "out of memory" for a few times a day. When this happens the IIS 6.0 is flushing the ASP Template Cache and virtual memory for the w3wp.exe process and is beginning to recompile the ASP pages. This leads to heavy cpu load for some minutes and a slow responding web application. Also there are many script compilation errors at this time. After that the server is running fine for some time, but it will happen again and again. Sometimes the server is doing this every few minutes and we have to reset the IIS. Problem is, that we are running a e-commerce application and restarting the application leads to a loss of all shopping carts and so we are loosing customers. Some more things to mention: - We restart the IIS every morning at 6.00pm automatically. - We allready tried to isolate every ActiveX COM to see if there is a problem with one them, but with no success - We tried to analyze a possible memory leak with debug diagnostics but we are not able to understand the analyzed data and also the server is not responding everytime when debugger is attached caused by heavy cpu load when debugging. The memory dump I successfully created a short time before "out of memory" error occured is about 2 GB in size. Tag: Metabase modification logging Tag: 392601

    - ISAPI and Host Headers Hi, Thanks for your help ahead of time, I'm very new to IIS, and I need help. My situation is this: I have a working library database server with a built-in web server using Polaris. I have two different sites, same IP address, but on different ports, one 80 other 81. I need to use the IIS box on the DMZ to forward requests to both websites on the library server. I'm testing this all on virtual machines, so the networking right now is very simple (same subnet no firewalls) The software came with an ISAPI filter, for use with IIS, which redirects requests to the library server when you use specific URLs. I set up a test with no problem using the default website by using a virtual folder with script permissions for the dll and an ini file. I change the ini file which tells the filter what IP and port to use. I could change the port back and forth, to go to both websites on the other server one at a time after restarting IIS. So then after some reading, I decided that I need to use host headers to do what I want to do. I set up two different websites, identical to each other than name, home directory, and where the ISAPI filter should be forwarding requests. I did a lot of reading on host headers, and I'm pretty sure that I set them up correctly, I even added DNS so that I could be sure that the headers were being passed. As far as the stuff I know from what I read so far, it "should" work. However, I'm having weird issues with the different websites after I set them up. The scripts have a built in page that tells you if the filter is setup correctly, and what port is being forwarded to. After much frustration, I think I at least have a solid symptom: 1. I setup ISAPI on site A, and test the filter, shows that requests are being forwarded to 192.168.99.202 on port 81. 2. I stop site A, setup site B with a different scripts directory and ISAPI filter, test the filter and it shows that requests are being forwarded to 99.202 port 80 3. Then I start site A again and test the filter. It's using 80, the port that site B is supposed to use. The dll and the ini files haven't changed, so what am I missing?\ 4. I then stop B and try A again. It's still using port 80. . . I think at step 4 I've eliminated the possibility that it's host headers causing the problem, right? Is there something else that I need to setup when I use IIS this way? I'm using IIS in server 2003. Sorry for writing a book, but I guess I'm too new to know what is relevant and what isn't. Thanks for your time, I'm coming up on the deadline for me to roll this out, and I'm thoroughly stuck. -Rob Evert Tag: Metabase modification logging Tag: 392591

    - Hosting multiple sites using Host Names and Port Numbers -- help! So, this may be a really simple thing to do, but I am having trouble, so would appreciate any help. Here is the thing. I am trying to host multiple websites on my IIS 6.x server. Currently it is set-up so that each site can be accessed by typing http://71.149.xxx.xxx/sitename. So: site 1 is at http://71.149.xxx.xxx/sitename1 site2 is at http://71.149.xxx.xxx/sitename2 and so on. When I go to setup the Host Names, I am trying to make it such that http://71.149.xxx.xxx/sitename1 is redirected to http://sitename1.mymainsite.com and http://71.149.xxx.xxx/sitename2 is redirected to http://sitename2.mymainsite.com and so on but instead I get the message "Invalid Host Name." Do I need to assign each "site" a different port on the IP address? And if so, how do I redirect so that the content comes from the correct files? In other words, the content for sitename1 is different from the content of sitename2 which is different from the content of sitename3, etc. I hope that makes sense. If not, I can try to clarify more. Any help is appreciated. I took a look at iisanswers site and the microsoft site, but neither is giving me what I am looking for.

    - ASP upload files when files dimension exceeds 3MB. Why ? Hello. I'm experiecing a problem with file uploads from ASP pages. On a Windows 2000 - IIS 5 server we're running an ASP Classic application that features an upload form for files of great dimensions (100+MB). Problem is, when we try to upload a file exceeding 3MB we retive almost immediatly a message such as 'The page cannot be displayed'. We do not even reach the page that contains the code for file managing; when we click on the submit button in the form with enctype multipart form data the application ends and the error is visualized. For files under 3MB there are no problems at all. The FAQ of our upload third party component (ABCUpload by Websupergoo) state that we could either have problems with our proxy or we could be stopped by a wrong URLScan setting: we do not have any proxy nor URLScan is installed on our server. I may add that all the configuration of the script timeouts on IIS are correctly set. Is there anyone who can suggest us a solution ? Thanks in advance for any help...

    - Cannot Install SQL Server Client Admin Tools on Windows 2003 Web Edition? I have two developers using Windows 2003 Web Edition to develop web applications. They are not being allowed to install the SQL Server Manager client tools. Why would Microsoft introduce restrictions on the SQL Server *client* administration tools in the Web Edition of Windows 2003? How can it not be clear to anyone that the SQL Server client tools are needed for development of *web* applications?!

    - Help... going to explode! Hi there, I recently upgraded to Vista (fresh install) as I was using XP Pro. Moved my web pages to Vista and am trying to get write permission set to a directory on my site hosted by IIS7 on my system. (http://RadioXex.ca) On XP all I had to do in IIS Manager was to right-click on the directory and set write permission. I need to write to a file called DB.MDB in that directory. (It's from a tracker called MetaTraffic that tracks site traffic). I tried setting permissions directly (from outside IIS7 Manager) by going to the directory on my hard drive and going to the folder > properties > security and adding a IUSR and IIS_ISURS user with "full control" checked. This didn't help. (My website has it's own directory on my computer. i'e'. c:\websites\RadioXex I'm not sure if this info helps.) I need to do this to another directory within my site so my php code can create images there, so it too needs write permissions. Any suggestions? I've tried searching the web. I'm really confused now. Tag: Metabase modification logging Tag: 392559

    - IIS 6 performance problem I'm running IIS 6 on Win Server 2003 with Frontpage extensions 5.0.2.6790. The server - recently upgraded - is a dual Xeon each at 3GHz with 2GB of memory, and the performance monitor shows no appreciable CPU loading at any relevant time. But the website goes slower than a wet week when processing form requests. The site has a lot of forms - every page has a couple of forms (a send email form, a 'rate this article form', and sometimes other forms too) so there is something over 1000 forms in total on the site, maybe even over 2000. All forms were created using Frontpage and its server extensions. However, very few forms are being filled out and sent to the server, if it processes more than 2 or 3 a minute, I'd be very surprised. IIS is taking 90 seconds to respond to a form being sent to it, and sometimes times out completely. And it is sometimes responsive in other areas too - for example, trying to upload a single changed page from the development to the production server sometimes gets a 'root web busy' error. These problems started a month or so back and at first I attributed it to the older less powerful server, so replaced it with this new screamer, but the new more powerful hardware has made no impact at all on IIS. Does anyone have any suggestions? Many tks David. Tag: Metabase modification logging Tag: 392517

    - Security and IIS Web Pages I'm confused. I have a web page that is currently running on an Apache server with FrontPage extensions enabled. It works like a champ. I can clamp down on security for various subwebs without a problem. Because FrontPage Extensions are no longer supported, I'm having to look into migrating the web pages to our Windows 2003 EE server. I can load the web site in IIS and specfiy the network card and port I want to use without a problem. The pages appear correctly, but I'm concerned about security. How can I get the same functionality in IIS that I currently get with FrontPage Extensions? I thought there might be some way to do this through SharePoint Services, but I can't find a way to do it. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Tag: Metabase modification logging Tag: 392513

    - automate client cert mapping for a web app. I am attempting to automate the process of setting up client cert authentication for a web app. Basically, I need to automate setting ?Accept client certificate? for a particular web app and enable client cert mapping for that web app and setup the certificate to account mapping. From the research I have done I think that the proper wmi/adsi object is IIsCertMapper in terms of mapping a particular cert to an account (I just need a 1 to 1 mapping) My problem is that when (in powershell) I use the following: gwmi ?list ?n ?root/microsoftiisv2? I see the IIsCertMapper class but when I gwmi IIsCertMapper ?n ?root/microsoftiisv2? the object returned seems to be null (i.e. passing it to get-member produces an error). I have a feeling that I need to first create an instance of the IIsCertMapper that is attached/contained by the webapp but I haven?t figured out how to do that. I would prefer to use powershell and wmi to get the job done but at this point I'll take anything that works. If anyone has any insight in how to automate this process or an example of how to properly use IIsCertMapper I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks eric Tag: Metabase modification logging Tag: 392506

    - IIS won't install with SP2 - Please help! Hello. Can anyone offer advice on this problem? In brief, I am trying to install IIS on my XP Pro with SP2 PC (via Control Panel -> Add Windows Components), and it tells me it needs admxprox.dll from the SP2 CD. However, there is no admxprox.dll on the SP2 CD. Many more details follow... I'm nearly sure that I had upgraded to SP2 via an automatic download. Nonetheless, when I tried to install IIS (via Add Windows Components), I was told to insert the Service Pack 2 CD, which I didn't have. So I borrowed one from a friend, and inserted it when the installation process told me to, but still no luck. So I double clicked the SP2 CD to explore it, and got the Autoplay program, which wanted to install SP2, so I permitted it to do so, and restarted as required. Once again I tried to install IIS, and once again it asked for the Service Pack 2 CD. This time it was trying to find a file called admxprox.dll, which I believe is actually different from the one it was asking for the first time (whose name I've forgotten), so maybe the installation of Service Pack 2 got us further along. For what it's worth, the IIS installation program defaults to F:\i386 as the place to browse for admxprox.dll (where F is, in fact, the drive letter of the CD drive where I inserted the Service Pack 2 CD). Unfortunately there is no i386 folder on that CD. There IS an i386 folder in my Windows\System\ServicePackFiles directory, but alas it contains no file named admxprox.dll. It does contain admexs.dll and admwprox.dll, both dated 8/4/2004, which I presume must be the approximate date that SP2 came out. The next morning (today), I conducted a full virus scan and nothing was found but some cookies, after which I went through the SP2 Autoplay installation all over again, and tried yet again to install IIS via Add Windows Components. Same result. It still wants admxprox.dll. Note also: Since the computer was sold to me with XP already on it by a no-name shop, Microsoft refuses to help me for free. The shop who sold it to me is 1,000+ miles from where I live now and I don't even know their phone number. Nevertheless, my license key for XP is valid, as confirmed by Microsoft when I had to reinstall after a disk crash. Yesterday evening the aforementioned i386 folder had an update date of 2/16/2006 at 9:39 pm, which is, in fact, when I let the Autoplay installation program do its thing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Peyton Todd *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com *** Tag: Metabase modification logging Tag: 392502

Hi,

I have the following question:

If someone changes the hostheaders within IIS is there a way to see
this in any log or event or something else perhaps? I want to monitor
this with MOM 2005 but I need something to point to my rule.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,

If you are running Windows Server 2003 SP1, then you can enable Metabase
Auditing to have changes logged to the Windows Event Log. See:
http://www.adopenstatic.com/faq/iisMetabaseAuditing.aspx
for instructions.

If you have access to the Tech.Ed presentations from last year, I covered
how to have MOM 2005 pick up these events in my presentation.

Cheers
Ken
