Weird Characters Displaying
We recently moved a website from an IIS 5 to IIS 6 server and are
having a small problem that I can't find a solution for anywhere.
Many of the special characters on webpages are not displaying
correctly. This happens when using both IE and Firefox browsers.
I've tried many different computers and browser versions so I'm fairly
certain that this is an IIS issue instead of a browser issue.
Here are just a few examples of what I am seeing:
copyright =C2=A9 becomes =C3=82=C2=A9
En-Dash or double dash =E2=80=93 becomes =C3=A2=E2=82=AC=E2=80=9C
Opening quote =E2=80=98 becomes =C3=A2=E2=82=AC=CB=9C
Closing quote becomes =E2=80=99 =C3=A2=E2=82=AC=E2=84=A2
Opening double quote =E2=80=9C becomes =C3=A2=E2=82=AC=C5=93
Closing double quote =E2=80=9D becomes =C3=A2=E2=82=AC=C2=9D
Degree symbol =C2=BA becomes =C3=82=C2=BA
There has to be some setting that I'm missing that it causing this but
I simply cannot figure it out. Any pointers?

Session_OnEnd
I recently installed some security patches AND Win 2003 SP2, since then
Session_OnEnd is not firing. Does anyone know of any patches recently that
would be causing this?
There were 12 updates, plus the service pack and really don't want to
install one at a time to find the one with the problem. I also skimmed the
KB what the patches were fixing, but don't see that they were related to
IIS.
Thank you,

Does IIS 5.0 server support HTTP pipelining
Hi,
I was looking for any article whether IIS 5.0 support HTTP pipelining or
not? But I not able to find a concreate answer. I able to find some article
saying dotnet framework is integrated with HTTP pipelining.
My question is if HTTP pipelining is integrated with dotnet framework, can
it be disable? If it can how we do it? Lastly what the impact it will cos to
IIS server if the HTTP pipelining is disable?
Hope someone will be able to answer my question. Tag: Need help with interview question for IIS 6.0 and .NET 2.0 operati Tag: 397155
XPost: Problem with IIS 7 and DB's
Ok, I wrote test (ASP, ASP.Net & PHP) all of them hitting the same database.
This is the first time I try to connect to a DB under Vista/II7 and it seems
that I'm missing setting some type of security but don't know what.
When test the ODBC connection everything works fine, when executed from
inside ASP, I get this error:
Unable to establish connection to database.
Error information:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Sybase][ODBC Driver][Adaptive Server Anywhere]Unable to start database
server
Other possible cause of this problem:
The database cannot be opened, most likely due to incorrect connection
settings or insufficient security set on your database folder or file.
For more details please refer to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q306518
The link does not help me. I have seem many reference to IIS 7 having lots
of problems connecting with DB's (BTW, I'm using Sybase ASA 9.x)
Any help will be appreciated. Tag: Need help with interview question for IIS 6.0 and .NET 2.0 operati Tag: 397153
IIS not installing from Windows components wizard
when I select the IIS box, it searches for the files to install. It does see
the files, but does not install it - almost like it is not there. When I try
the XP CD, it does the same thing. It shows the file ***.DL_ and does not do
anything beyond that.
Any ideas?

Issues with running IIS state
I have been trying to run IISstate to get a log to post up to help debug my ASP/IIS issues.
I am running Windows 2003 Server with IIS6.
However for some reason it won't let me run IISState against the w3wp.exe process. It says it is limited to processes acssociated with IIS.
Screenshot here: http://www.dangerfield.biz/iisstate.gif
I also tried it against inetinfo.exe and dllhost.exe and got the same response, although I believe w3wp.exe is the correct process for IIS6.
Any pointers would be most appreciated, I am out of my depth a bit here.

Server was unable to process request. ---> Unable to generate a
Greetings,
After being misled by the Application Event Log messages that my problem was
a BizTalk problem I have discovered it is actually an IIS problem. When I
call a BizTalk Web Service that is in an app pool whose Identity is a weak
domain account I get this error:
Server was unable to process request. ---> Unable to generate a temporary
class (result=1).
error CS2001: Source file 'C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\zezde3bz.0.cs' could not be found
error CS2008: No inputs specified
If I change the Identity of the app pool to run under a domain account that
happens to be a Local Administrator the Web Service does work.
What simple setting or membership am I missing with my weak domain account?

Creating host headers in IIS6
Hey all...I installed an application that installed its website under
the Default Web Site in IIS 6. There is already a website installed
under this directory. I want to create a host header to make the URL
more user friendly, however, it does not appear that I can do this.
All the information I go to online tells me to go to the Properties of
the web site I want to create the host header on and then hit Advanced
to enter the IP/Port/Host Header name. However, when I do this, since
it's installed under the Default Web Site, I can't assign it a
different IP, port, or host header name. The option does not exist.
The options do exist, though, when I go to the Properties of the
Default Web Site, which doesn't do me any good since multiple sites
are installed under it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Tag: Need help with interview question for IIS 6.0 and .NET 2.0 operati Tag: 397140
Will remapping .HTML to be processed as .SHTML cause problems?
I have a website that has between 350-450 HTML and HTM pages on it. On
August 30th, I'm supposed to update the site so that most (not all) of
these pages use an SSI navigational menu. The change, though, needs to
happen all at once; that is, I needed to copy the files over and have
the new website working fairly instantly (corresponds with a catalog
mailing). There wasn't a way to do that, because I'd have to manually
redirect file1.html to file.shtml and repeat a zillion times...I'm on
satellite inet - my server access is sloooooow.
I ran across this:
http://www.irishdeveloper.com/blog/servers/platforms/windows/iis/using-server-side-includes-in-html-with-iis/
which explains how to reconfigure IIS so that it processes .HTML files
as .SHTML files.
There are a few .html and .htm files that do NOT use this menu. Will
it affect them in any way? And if it won't affect them, is it then
safe to just turn that switch on NOW (make the server process HTML as
SHTML) so that as files with includes are added, they will just work,
rather than having to do it all at once?
Thanks,

Can not use Internet!
Hi to everyone!
This is my first post in this group. My problem is with a server 2003 R2.
Three weeks ago it was working well. I mean, I can use the internet and keep
the respective updates. I had to intall IIS 6.0 because we have some net
applications that use in the intranet. From then I can not use the internet
in this server. I did not receive any error. It only says that can not find

Web sites no longer starting automatically
Hi
I'm running IIS7 on Vista Home Premium and currently have 12 development web
sites set up using different bindings for each.
The system works fine except that all of a sudden when the machine is
switched on all the web sites are stopped and have to be manually started,
where before they started automatically.
All sites have "Start Automatically" set to "True"
I've recently added 2 sites so I'm wondering if there is a maximum number of
sites that can be running at any one time or if there is a setting that I've
missed

Slow IIS6 when accessed remotely
We are running a ASP .Net 2.0 application on a Windows 2003 SP2 Server.
When using the application from the intranet, it becomes slower and slower
after about an hour. Resetting the worker process solves the problem for one
hour again. Normally a pages responds within 3 seconds max, it takes more
than a minute at the end of the hour.
The interresting thing is that I can logon to the server with remote
desktop, call the same pages and it is fast, even if it is very slow over the
internet.
I would be grateful for any idea because this happens in a production
environment with many users. Tag: Need help with interview question for IIS 6.0 and .NET 2.0 operati Tag: 397132
Do Windows CE devices connecting to IIS 6.0 need an individual CAL ?
I have a project where +/- 100 Windows CE 5.0 devices will connect to a IIS
6.0 (on Windows 2003 Server) Web Service, through a RAS connection.
The server will have 100 virtual serial ports (every port will be configured
as a RAS entry point), and every Windows CE 5.0 device will connect through
RAS to access the Web Service. (the devices are not wi-fi, and we will use
their serial cradle to connect to port servers)
Do I have to purchase one CAL for every Windows CE 5.0 device ?
Thanks a lot.

IIS installation on XP Pro freezes while configuring SMTP components
I am trying to install the IIS component onto my new ThinkPad running
Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2. The installation gets hung up while it
is configuring the SMTP components. It seems to stop running. My
computer doesn't freeze, I can access other things, and in fact, end
up accessing Task Manager to end the task. I tried uninstalling and
while it froze numerous times while doing that, I finally was able to
uninstall. In addition to uninstalling Then I tried installing again
and the same thing.
I took a quick look at the log file while I can't attach the file, I
will paste in the last minute that it was running below. It seems to
have finished installing, but then won't find http://localhost nor
does the Internet Information Services component show up
Administrative Tools.
I see that this problem has come up for several people in the past,
and I have tried some of various incarnations to some of these
problems, including turing off the Firewall, deleting files,
installing, uninstalling, etc.
Has anyone figured this one out?
Many thanks.

differential backup
on win sm biz server 2003, i started a differential backup
there are no options that i saw for configuring the backup other than
picking differential
the first time it ran, it backed up all the target files, about 10k / 9 gb
i was expecting the log for the next backup to show something like 20 or 30
files backed up
the ones that had changed since the full backup, however, all 10k / 9gb was
on the report again
and its that same thing everyday?
how is the differential to be configured to get it to work as expected for a
differential?
should not the daily report (in my case) be giving a total of the files that
had been backed up since the last full backup?

Accessing Webmail without using port No. extension
Hi All,
I've web server and mail server running on same Windows 2k3 + IIS 6
box.
Mail server is Code Crafters Ability Mail Server.
I can access mail server by using http://www.mydomain.com:1234
But I want to access mail server by just typing URL of domain without
port extension
E.g. http://webmail.mydomain.com
I tried 2 solutions
1) Host header solution: I configured webmail.mydomain.com hos header
and pointed port to 1234
- This obviously fails as I'm trying to use port 1234 which is being
used by mail server
2) I configured webmail.mydomain.com as a separate website
While configuring I pointed the home directory to a dummy empty folder
and then I redirected the URL to http://www.mydomain.com:1234
Selected "redirection to another URL"
Selected "exact URL" and "permanent redirection"
- I ended up at same place where I started from. This solution
redirects http://webmail.mydomain.com to http://www.mydomain.com:1234
Now I'm lost how do I make this work?
My requirement is I don't want the port number, I want it to access on
Port 80. Reason is I want to access webmail behind a proxy which
blocks almost all ports except 80.
I can't run mail server on port 80 as I run web server.
Any help would be appreciated. I can offer pure British Beer ;)

reply
Hey David, you rock. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to my post.
There was a fractional misunderstanding though, my choice is not to rewrite the app, although that will happen down the track, I want to fix it and that is why I posted this. And I hate it that we have to restart IIS every day, it looks unprofessional on a whole bunch of levels.
The company that looks after the server keeps saying it is an application issue and we need to rewrite it (they are angling for the job) from scratch in .net and have no desire to try and fix it in any shape or form because of this. However I (the app developer) have never been comfortable with this bug as the system has been running really well for 8 years , stable and solid, hadn't changed much and the bug appeared from nowhere. I suspected it was infrastructure of some kind.
I think you are right that it is the introducton of IIS6 that is causing the problem. I had no idea that things might run differently and nothing was ever tested against IIS6, it was just migrated across with nothing said.
I am not sure what mode the server is running in whether it is iis5 compat or the other one.
I will follow your advice and get these debug tools run and see what comes up, and post the logs here. thanks again,

IIS Threads Blocked
Under heavy load, our webserver (IIS6) can get into a state whereby it
cannot communicate with the filer to retrieve content. The redirector
stops transmitting packets to the remote filer even though the remote
filer's server service is still active and accepting requests from
other servers. The IIS threads appear to hang, and many of them (with
a thread state of 5... "waiting") go from a "thread wait reason" of 15
to a "thread wait reason" of 27. Then, after some period of time,
such as a minute or two, the system recovers for a while. The
documentation I see for "thread wait reason" suggests that any value
of 20+ is reserved. Is this just a situation where perfmon is not
able to detect the accurate state of the IIS threads, or is a value of
27 for "thread wait reason" meaningful in the context of IIS?

I then had to upgrad to Sql server 2005 Developer edition. I therefore
uninstalled Sql server Express and installed Sql server 2005.
When installing Sql server 2005 developer edition I got an error that
reporting service could not be started because default web site is not
running. I then invested the problem and found that www service did not
start. I tried to start the service but got this error. I then tried to
uninstall and reinstall IIS 5.1 but having the same problem.
I would appreciate your help with this.
Thanks,

Intermittent error with XmlDocument on ASP.NET app. Related to IIS and DefaultAppPool
Hi,
I have a very bizarre intermittent problem that occurs with some
ASP.NET 1.1 (C#) code I inherited. I'll try to state the problem
sucintly; if more detail is needed please ask! The code is in a
WebApplication. The web application is configured in IIS 6.0 to run
under Application Pools/Default App Pool.
The relevant code looks like this:
private bool ParseXML(string XmlResponseData, ref string
StatusMessage)
{
XmlNodeList List;
XmlNode AppServerNode;
XmlNode SubNode;
try
{
XmlDocument Document = new XmlDocument();
Document.LoadXml(XmlResponseData);
// lots of other code related to taking stuff out of Document
and putting into member variables omitted
}
catch
{
SetError("Failed to load XML response from server ");
return(false);
}
return(true);
}
Most of the time everything works fine. Once in a great while, the
code goes into the catch block. I can tell it goes into the catch
block because "SetError" is a function that ultimately logs the error
message. There is code right before this function that shows
XmlResponseData and logs it. As far as I can tell (and many others
who have stared at it) there is absolutely no difference between the
XML that works fine and the XML that causes the catch block to
execute. In fact, the evidence is stronger than that: we have the
ability to send the same message. Many of us are suspecting that the
lines "new XmlDocument()" or "Document.LoadXml(XmlResponseData)" are
failing (perhaps a memory problem?). Unfortunately, we can't
(currently) modify the code that is running to add more logging at key
places.
There is some more relevant information: Once the problem occurs, it
does not go away UNTIL someone does a "Recycle" on the DefaultAppPool
in IIS. I don't know much about IIS and Application Pools, so I have
no idea why this would fix the problem but it does (until the next
time of course). Another possibly related bit of information is that
the DefaultAppPool is set to auto recycle every 29 hours. Finally, we
occasionally have messages in the log of the form:
A process serving application pool 'DefaultAppPool' exceeded time
limits during shut down. The process id was '4244'
I realize that I probably need to give more details. The problem is
not well defined. I welcome all comments/suggestions/flames on how to
move forward or perform additional tests. Suggestions for more
appropriate newsgroups would also be most welcome. As you can see,
the problem seems to touch a few areas (ASP.NET, IIS, XML).
Sincerely,

Application Pools for New Sites
When creating new sites in IIS 6, is the best practice to create a new
application pool for each site? I'm running into a problem where a
site running ASP.NET 2.0 is throwing errors in the Application events
saying which brings down my ASP.NET service for all my sites on the
same server.
"It is not possible to run two different versions of ASP.NET in the
same IIS process. Please use the IIS Administration Tool to
reconfigure your server to run the application in a separate process."
EventID 1062.
The suggested remedy for this is to create a new application pool for
the site. I'm wondering if I need to create a new application pool
for every site or just the one giving me a problem?

Installing a WebService into IIS7 on Vista
Using .NET 2.0 and VS2005, I am trying to make a simple WebService
application and an installer for it.
I want to distribute the installer to several customers, so the installation
should run as smooth as possible.
When trying to install it on Vista, I get a generic errormessage:
"Installation incomlete. The installer was interrupted before
WebSetup1 could be installed"
Is it possible to figure out in more details what went wrong in the
installation?
I have figured out that IIS6 compatibility components must be activated in
IIS7 to make my webservice install properly.
How can I (using VS2005) make my WebService application not be dependent on
IIS6 when installed on IIS7?
(I want it to be installable on XP with IIS6 also)
I am using a standard Web Deployment Setup project in VS2005. Tag: Need help with interview question for IIS 6.0 and .NET 2.0 operati Tag: 397041
IIS7 on Vista, which components do I need to install.
I have made a simple WebService Application and a Windows Installer for it
using VS 2005.
When installing it on IIS7 on Vista, which IIS components to I need to turn
on to make the installer work?
With default components (and ASP.NET & .NET ) turned on, I get an installer
error "Installation incomlete. The installer was interrupted before
WebSetup1 could be installed".
With all components turned on, I get successful installation.
But I don't want to turn on more than I have to.
I want to distribute this installer to many users, so the installation
should run as smoothly as possible.
Thanks for any advice Tag: Need help with interview question for IIS 6.0 and .NET 2.0 operati Tag: 397039
.asp pages unable to load
Hi
Rather a tentative question as I am not the webmaster in question. Our
website is an asp dynamic website running its pages via access databases for
raw data, security and logs. Said webmaster put our website on a new Windows
2003 server about a year ago with no problems whatsoever (he is not a
Windows man at all).
For the last three weeks, though, asp pages have completely frozen and do
not load (with no IE error message). They always seem OK after a restart but
have continued to work for a smaller and smaller amount of time (now only
about 3 hours). Webmaster has no idea what to do, and is increasingly
frustrated having to restart the whole time (as it is a pay-per-click site
this is imperative).
Ftp and html pages work, and as I mentioned, the asp pages have worked and
do work in a fashion - so it may not be a scripts issue in IIS.
have put up a test.asp page that sporadically works (eg three times out of
five over the last ten minutes)
Really have no ideas, just really wondering if these symptoms ring any bells
Many thanks for any help in advance

IIS6 logs: stats=200, sc-bytes=0 -- any ideas?
I've been looking through IIS logs all day and discovered many entries which
look otherwise normal except for the "sc-bytes" field being zero. What
conditions would cause this to happen? It's not just one client or one
URL - it seems pretty random, and refers to normal documents that usually
have non-zero "sc-bytes" fields.
Thanks for any pointers! Tag: Need help with interview question for IIS 6.0 and .NET 2.0 operati Tag: 397020
SSL on non-standard port question
I have one (1) public IP address running through a NAT router, and three (3)
private network sites set up on my server:
--> default - LAN IP: all unassigned - SSL: 443
--> companyweb - LAN IP: 192.168.1.1 - SSL: 444
--> newsite - LAN IP: 192.168.1.2 - SSL: 4433
My question is... will a certificate work with 'newsite' using this set-up?
And if so, what special process, if anything, will need to be done when
requesting my certificate for port 4433? Tag: Need help with interview question for IIS 6.0 and .NET 2.0 operati Tag: 397019
IIS not returning icons, aspx site
Hi, I have a small issue with an application that uses iis. The platform is
Server 2003 Small Business, iis6 obviously with .net2 installed. I have
created a new website and have created a new application pool so I can run
.net 2 and 1. The site uses aspx and I have allowed .net 2 to run. The site
works, I can browse and it returns pages but for some reason no icons are
present, I just get the red cross where they should be. I asked the vendor
what he thought; he had no idea but said that the icons are in the dll files.
Right.
So I have made a lot of effort searching this and can not even find anything
close.
My Exchange OWA and SharePoint works spot on, it returns pages and images.
Any ideas would be great please.
Many Thanks

Can't Run multiple web sites on IIS 6???
Hello,
Sorry, completely frustrated with IIS. I'm not sure why, but I'm finding it
impossible to run multiple web site on my server. The sites are for my own
internal Intranet use, not exposed to the world.
I have read all the help files on using Ports, IP, or host names.
I did not want to use different ports, to hard for employees to remember
port numbers.
Do not want to use different IP'S for same reason.
That leaves me with HOST HEADERS and totally confussed.
I need to mess with DNS to use these I quess and this is where it falls apart.
I do not have my DNS set to my REAL web domain name, I simply used
COMPANY.local in my DNS.
How do I run multiple sites with this? COMPANY.local is not a FULLY
QUALIFIED DOMAIN NAME registered with a domain registrar!
If I use COMPANY.local how do I format the Host headers and what url will my
users need to enter to get to the different s
