    - Debug ISAPI Filter on IIS 6 Hello All, Environment: - Windows Server 2003 SP1 - IIS 6.0 - Visual Studio 2003 We have developed a ISAPI Filter and want to debug it through Visual Studio. We have gone through the steps mentioned at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/183480 but to no use. We even tried suggestions provided at http://www.atozed.com/intraweb/faq/iis6.aspx but all in vain. Every time we try to debug, a dialog box pops up saying 'w3wp.exe does not contain debugging information. (No Symbols loaded)'. At this time breakpoints says 'no executable code loaded at this point' Settings: 1. Project Properties-->Debugging-->Command = C:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv\w3wp.exe 2. Project Properties-->Debugging-->Command Arguments = -debug -ap<app pool name> -w<bindings> -s<website identifier> Please let me know if these settings are correct/sufficient. Do I need to make any more changes to start with the debugging. Thanks in advance. ~TJ Tag: IIS Problem - Please Help! Tag: 391338

    - Default page problem Hi, I installed sharepoint and had a default URL: http://servername.mydomain.com/default.aspx I changed the host header in IIS and configured DNS, and can now access my site fine via: http://sharepoint.mydomain.com/default.aspx That works. However if I go to: http://sharepoint.mydomain.com I get a 400 Bad request. Yes, the Documents tab has "Enable default content page" ticked and shows "default.aspx" as the top option. This guy (http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=263231) had the same problem when he changed the port, rather than the host header. Its as if IIS has hardcoded the original URL location of the default document somewhere. I have tried disabling and reenabling the "Enable default content page" option, as well as restarting various services. Can anyone shed some light on how I can fix this? Cheers!

    - Crystal Reports v7 install issue on W2K IIS 5.0 We have several servers in production with W2K SP4 IIS5.0 that host a COM+ web application that utilizes the Crystal Reports v7 Web Server, page and image servers for displaying dynamic reports to the end users in the Internet Explorer web browser. At this time, there are no issues with the production servers in use. The issue we have is with the installation of CR 7 to a new W2K SP4 IIS 5.0 machine. We launch the setup package and the installation proceeds, but does not detect any web server present. Therefore, the setup package does not display the dialog box for choosing the web server configuration to install, nor does it install the page and image servers. This essentially breaks the Crystal Reports modules of the COM+ web application. We suspect that there may be a Microsoft security patch installed that masks the presence of IIS, which in turn causes the setup package to skip the web server configuration portion of the installation, but we have been unable to determine if this is the case or not. We have a project underway to upgrade Crystal to version XI, but we need a test server built with the current configuration to be used for the upgrade process testing. We also need a way to reliably install CR7, in case one of our production servers fails before we complete the upgrade to CR XI. We have already un-installed any security patches that are specifically related to IIS, MSDTC or COM+, without positive results. We are now in the process of un-installing the rest of the patches one at a time to see if we can resolve this and perhaps identify the patch that is causing the issue. Initial patches removed, KB917537, KB913580 and KB902400. Remaining patches to be removed: KB899588, KB893756, KB899591, KB899587, KB896423, KB905414, KB899589, KB905749, KB901017, KB900725, KB904706, KB896424, KB908523, KB912919, KB908519, KB908531, KB911567, KB911280, KB914389, KB917736, KB917953, KB917159, KB914388, KB920683, KB917008, KB921398, KB922616, KB920670, KB917422, KB920685, KB921883, KB920958, KB923191, KB923414, KB920213, KB924270. These patches were installed during the period from now back to August 2005. August 2005 was the last time that we were able to install CR7 Web Server correctly on a server with W2K SP4 IIS 5.0. Any help that could get us around this hurdle, would be greatly appreciated. Tag: IIS Problem - Please Help! Tag: 391322

    - Re:IIS 6.0 Reporting 401.2 Errors in Logs Eric, This appears to be by design and is related to the negotiation protocol that is used with intgrated authentication. If you monitor the sequence from the client side, you will see an initial request by the client with an Authorization: Negotiage header. This elicits a 401 response by the server and includes a WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate header. The client then responds with a Authorization: Negotiate header containing base64 encrypted credentials. The server should then accept these and return a 200 status with the requested data. The client specifies Connection: Keep-Alive in each header to ensure the conversation proceeds correctly. Once authenticated, the client seems to be able to reuse the connection for short periods, hence the blocks of 200s interspersed with 401s. There are lots of articles on the web that describe the negotiate protocol better than I have. Hope this helps.

    - IIS / DNS browsing issue Hello, I have an issue with a MS Sharepoint install on a server named MARS. I'm not sure yet if this is an issue with IIS or DNS. We have the DNS host records setup to resolve portal.company.com to the IP address of MARS. The problem is when I browse to the address of http://portal.company.com and the webite loads, the address bar shows http://mars/Default.aspx Even though this works for intranet users I would like the address to show http://portal.company.com/Default.aspx Also, I just received a call that an external internet user that reported this same problem but obviously gets a page cannot be displayed error.

Please try again.from ValidationSummary, now the only thing that wasn't described in detail was To configure the application to use a specific SMTP server part where it said: Include information for the port number and for authentication according to the requirements of your SMTP server See your administrator for more information on how to configure these settings.

    - Application Problem on Windows 2003 Server Hello, I have a problem on an application I am developing: This C# Windows Application calls a C# Web Service, which it uses the SourceSafeTypeLib DLL to interact with Visual Source Safe 6. The problem comes out when I call the VSS method "Get(ref string Local, int flags)", which should get a VSS file and save it to disk. I pass "E:\max\tmp\vss\AssemblyInfo.cs" as the Local path string, but the program exit with the error: "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8004D84B): Access to file "d:\windows\system32\inetsrv\AssemblyInfo.cs" denied". As you can see this is NOT the path I gave to the program (why win2K3 is changing it?) It used to work just fine on Windows XP, that's why I'm pretty sure it's not an application problem. Unfortunately a few days ago I had my laptop re-installed w/Win2003, and since then it won't work anymore So after some research I've found out that it should depends on the way Win2003 handles access security.. If it can help: the VSS DB is on another machine which I map as share and access it with the proper authenticated domain user (I repeat: on WinXP it worked just fine...) Any guess would be appreciated. thank you Tag: IIS Problem - Please Help! Tag: 391313

    - Losing NT Authentication Credentials when using DNS Hi folks. We are having a problem with DNS and NT Credentials. We manage an IIS 6.0 Intranet Server in our network. For some reason we get different security results when we access the Intranet server using the DNS name and the IP address. The Webmaster wants NT Authentication turned on so he can capture the users login id. When we have NT Authentication turned on and the web server is accessed using the DNS name, the NT credentials are stripped away. When we use the IP address to access the Intranet, the NT credentials are passed to the web application. The personnel who manage the network don't know why this is happening. Any thoughts on what would cause this? Here are the various scenarios: Using the IP Address in the URL: Anonymous Only - No credentials are passed. NT Authentication Only - Credentials are passed. Both Anonymous & NT Authentication - No credentials are passed. Using the DNS Name in the URL: Anonymous Only - No credentials are passed. NT Authentication Only - No credentials are passed. Both Anonymous & NT Authentication - No credentials are passed. Thanks. Grant. Tag: IIS Problem - Please Help! Tag: 391310

    - Random Resetting of ASP Session Variables Hi, We have a problem with our application where the ASP session variables are lost at random intervals. The application used to be pretty reliable but lately it has been getting worse. Maybe this is due to an increase in traffic across all the sites each month. I've got logging enabled on the Application Pools but they are only set to recycle in the early hours of the morning or if the virtual memory climbs above 1500mb. Also Rapid Fail Protection is enabled. All the ASP files are stored on a Windows File Server and are accessed in IIS as a UNC share. There are about 300 websites configured in IIS all pointing at the same set of ASP files. In the Event Log i see errors sometimes like eventid 9 "UNC Access failed for file blah.asp" This seems to coincide with IIS losing the sessions but not in all cases. The error in the log refers to one of two files in our application which are probably accessed the most regualrly. Can someone explain why IIS drops all the sessions just because an ASP page on the file server can't be accessed. Sessions are lost across all application pools but the application pools don't log a restart in the Event log either. Help much appreciated, Dave Tag: IIS Problem - Please Help! Tag: 391300

    - IIS 6 Web Server spec requirements Greetings, I'm seeking information on exactly how to "size" a server or cluster of servers to support a web application to handle 400-500 concurrent users with approximately 2000 accounts. This application will serve as a front to teachers gradebooks, accepting input for grades, attendance, discipline and more. The 'recommendation' we've received is 6 HP DL360 G4(http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11937_div/11937_div.html) servers with 2 3.4ghz Xeon processors, 4gb ram to act as web servers, in addition to a 7th and 8th server to serve as domain controllers (Integrated windows authentication), along with something along the lines of an HP DL 580 (http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantdl580/specifications-g4.html) with some obscene specification (they said 'big') for the MS SQL server installation I'm trying to get an idea whether or not this seems excessive. I've read in other places (such as this article about myspace http://www.baselinemag.com/article2/0,1540,2082924,00.asp) that make me doubt we need so much horse power for a site this size. 2000 users, to me, seems "small". Extremely small. I know it is pretty vague, but perhaps some logic can be shed on this to at least make an educated guess? (At the very least an argument so that we can start small then scale quickly if needed instead of shooting for Alpha Centauri when we really 'need' to get to the moon) FYI The application in question is Sungard Pentamation Teacher Access Center.

    - IIS6 All sessions drop - not worker process recycling? Greetings, We have several classic ASP apps that we have developed. We recently upgraded two servers that these apps run on to Win2K3/IIS6. They were previously running W2K/IIS5. We use ASP sessions to store session state in memory. Like others who have this setup, we had to alter worker process recycling, etc in order to preserve this session state. After following the advice in numerous posts and some experimentation, we had disabled worker process recycling, had no memory limits and no idle limits set. Still, while watching ASP/Sessions Current with perfmon, we'd see sessions drop from 1500 or so down to 0 and then start climbing back up. The interval appeared to be pretty random. Sometimes, it'd be twice within a 5 minute period. Sometimes, it'd be an hour or more. We turned on logging via the metabase, but no events ever showed up in the event log. We moved the sites to their own application pools, which limited the damage when one site would fail, but provided no further insight into the issue. As a last ditch effort, we changed the servers to use IIS 5 isolation mode. Now, the behavior is different. It happens on both servers at 19 minutes past the hour (most hours). Sometimes, it will skip an hour, but when it does happen, it's at that time. Sometimes it happens on one server and not the other. We've disabled Antivirus in case scanning was causing IIS to think files like global.asa had changed. DLLHost.exe consumes about 400MB physical memory most of the time when the app's running at full zoot. Other misc details: - No other scheduled tasks that run at that time. - Haven't found anything obviously traffic related in the IIS logfiles, but this is pretty difficult to identify. There are no indications that IIS restarts, nor any IIS related errors in there. - Still no entries in the System or Application even logs. - Noticed in perfmon logs that at the time that the sessions drop off, there are 12 or so Engine Flush Notifications that appear right after that, if that has any significance. Hardware: Intel dual core processors 4 GB RAM Any insight or similar experience out there? Is there any process recycling mechanism that is still in play when running in IIS 5 isolation mode?

    - Domain Name Restriction Problem I have an IIS application with the following security configuration: - Authentication Mode = "Anonymous" - IP Address and Domain Name Restrictions: Deny all except *.mil There is a user who is unable to get in (403.7 error), even though he is coming from a .mil address (confirmed by running "ipconfig -a <ip_address>" from the server). Of course I can temporarily overcome this problem by explicitly adding his IP address, but then what happens down the road if he gets assigned a different address? Does anyone have any ideas on where I should start looking -- e.g., specific local policy settings that need to be tweaked -- for a possible permanent fix? Thanks in advance for any helpful hints!

    - Multiple Websites on one server - need SSL We have multiple Websites on one server (IIS) and one appache (tomcat) also on the same server. This has worked fine until now. We need secure pages on all the Websites. We can handle the multiple Websites on IIS by adding a different address on the NIC card and adding one of the address to each Web Site. Then all the Websites can share port 443. But can we do the same with Apache? Can we have the Apache sharing 443 on the same Web Server as IIS? I assume you can't as you can only have one application listening on each port. If there is a way around this without having to buy another server we would be thrilled.

    - Missing default roles I have recently set up a Windows 2003 Server and IIS and am attempting to migrate my web sites from my Windows 2000 server. I moved the first two sites manually, then found out about the IIS migration tool and used it to move two more sites. Upon examining these sites, however, I found that the default roles (Administrator, Author, Browser, etc) were missing on all of the sites. I can recreate the roles and everything seems to work OK, but I don't relish the idea of having to do this for 75 more sites. Any ideas as to what is going wrong and how I can fix it?

What I want to do I using 1 domain name connect to my internal iis server that is running multiple web sites. Web Server is windows 2k3 running iis6 Ive got the default website (192.168.0.12)to work no problems, and users internally & externally can connect via http://production however this is as far as I get. if I want users to connect to a second website running on the same web server called accounts INTERNAL users just use http://acounts as I have created a new host called accounts that points to my single webserver(192.168.0.12) Question 1. How can I get my external users to connect to accounts? My firewall is a Stonegate firewall v 3.5 What I was thinking was to set up a redirect that would connect the external users to production website and re direct to accounts but this does not work.

    - Authentication Problem - 401.1 error Setup is as follows: Server1: W2K3 R2 Std (DC/IIS6/Exchange 2003 SP2) Server2: W2K3 R2 Std (Not a domain member) Clients: XP Pro SP2 (All domain members) IIS6 has two sites: Default site is used for OWA (iwa/basic auth, host header added for mail.domain.com in addition to default headers) Second site added for Intranet (iwa/basic auth, host header added for www.domain.com) When accessing sites using the client machines, everything works fine for both administrators & users, integrated authentication works and both sites are displayed with no prompts for authentication. Any of the set host headers work ok for accessing the sites. On Server 2, the standalone non member server, IWA obvisouly doesn't work, but when prompted for a username and password, both administrators and users can authenticate ok using basic authentication. Any of the set host headers work ok for accessing the sites. However, when logged onto server 1 (dc & iis6) as an administrator, integrated authentication doesn't work on either of the sites, and I'm prompted for a username/password. But this doesn't accept the administrator usernname/password and after 3 attempts a 401.1 error is received. But, if I access the default site using the netbios name, integrated authentication works and it displays ok. Why, when logged on to the DC/IIS6 server, do FQDNs not work? To make matters slighly more confusing, IIS6 was reinstalled 10 days ago to try and sort a problem with installing WSUS, before this basic authentication used to work ok with FQDNs and my problem was only with integrated windows authentication.

    - IIS Autentication using Domain Controller Hi, I recently installed Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 on windows 2003 Server R2. It is a member server which is part of Domain Controller running on windows 2003 Server. Sharepoint was installed with the following : 1) Integrated Windows Authentication 2) IIS Authentication Settings as follows : Integrated Windows Authentication using NTLM. After successful installation, the login page can be seen only after authenticating twice (the pop up keeps poping up twice) using the Domain username and password. I do not understand y we have to type the username/password twice. I would want all users (intranet/internet) to authenticate against the directory server once. Right now users have to enter the credentials twice before getting to the Logon Page. Is there a setting that I am missing ? Thank You for the clarification SuresH Tag: IIS Problem - Please Help!

    - Static files occasionally do not download I have a problem where a site, which is normally serving about 300 connections, occasionally has an error where static files do not download (or at least it seems like it's only static files). For example let's say there is 40 different objects (images, css, js, etc) that need to download. They will all download except for one image or css file, or sometimes even a file with extension "axd" (which I have come to understand is a.net placeholder for javascript). The site uses .net 2.0 with VBScript. I do not think it is a bandwidth issue as the load on my firewall is less than 2%. I have searched for a week and not found anything on this issue, and am just about ready to call Microsoft. Additional info: I'm running windows network load balancing between two servers. Both run Windows 2003 SP1 w/ IIS 6. There is no ISAPI filters on any of the sites besides the normal ASP .Net 2.0 one that runs in low priority. I'm not using HTTP compression. If ANYONE has anything that can contribute or a place to start looking, I would be more than grateful (especially if you are from Microsoft *crosses fingers*). If you need any additional information I can let you know whatever you need (within secure reason). Thanks! Tag: IIS Problem - Please Help! Tag: 391256

In some cases, such as setting cookies, there are multiple header lines returned with the same header name. For example: Set-Cookie: ... Set-Cookie: ... Under Vista, something is causing IIS to only pass the last encountered header for each unique header name. This results in the client application from never seeing all the headers.

    - QUERY_STRING server variable value differs in IIS6.0 from IIS5.0 Hi, all. I recently migrated a website from IIS5.0 (running on Windows 2000 Server SP4) to IIS6.0 (running Windows Server 2003 SP1). I found that the value of the server variable "QUERY_STRING" differs under the 2 platforms. In IIS5.0, it does not return the port number, but it does in IIS6.0. For example : IIS5.0 : it returns http://www.test.com/mypage IIS6.0 : it returns http://www.test.com:80/mypage My question is : Is there a way to hide the port number from returning in the QUERY_STRING server variable?

    - Page cannot be dislayed for ASPX pages in IIS6.0 on Win2k3 Hi All, We are currently setting up a new vmserver as a Win 2k3 web server. We installed IIS 6.0 (Application Server and ASPNET including Front Page extensions) and it is running .Net Framework 1.1. Html pages are coming up fine but it returns Page Cannot Be Displayed for all ASPX pages. ASPNET and Active Server Pages are already marked as allowed on the Web Server Extensions and I have already run aspnet_iisreg -c. I've already tried restarting everything but it still cannot display ASPX pages. I'm already at a lost on what's wrong or what I might have overlooked. Any ideas what might be missing?

    - IIS 6.0 asking for password on virtual directories only This is a weird problem, and I haven't seen it before. I installed IIS 6.0 on a Windows 2003 Small Business Server , and I can get to http://localhost/ fine with it. So, if I'm understanding this correctly, the IUSR_Machinename account has the required permissions so that anonymous browsing is enabled. That's what I want. The problem is that when I go to http://localhost/remote (the Small Business Server Remote Web Workplace), I get asked for login credentials. No matter what I try, whether they're valid login credentials on my server or not, I can't get anywhere. This behaviour only replicates itself on other virtual directories...not on any other sites that aren't virtual directories. In addition, I notice Event ID 529 logged on the server any time I try to access the virtual directory. Logon Failure: Reason: Unknown user name or bad password User Name: Administrator Domain: SNRY Logon Type: 8 Logon Process: Advapi Authentication Package: Negotiate Workstation Name: SBSERVER Caller User Name: NETWORK SERVICE Caller Domain: NT AUTHORITY Caller Logon ID: (0x0,0x3E4) Caller Process ID: 2240 Transited Services: - Source Network Address: 127.0.0.1 Source Port: 2696 For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. I'm using NTFS permissions. I know I've gotten at least the basic configuration right or I wouldn't be able to even access localhost (nor would I be able to access the server from another machine, which I'm doing now.) So...why am I getting asked 6000 times to authenticate to something that would have the same permissions as its parent? Thanks. Tag: IIS Problem - Please Help! Tag: 391219

    - IISState don't write me a dump file I try to run IISState towards the process. But I end up with no dump and a couple of errors. Can someone help me with this The first thing that IIS writes (before the whole machinery starts running) is this error message "Process 4920 is not attached as a debuggee The process can be examined but debug events will not be received" Then when competed it just posts ***** Dump name is formatted as: PID-Timestamp.dmp Creating C:\iisstate\output\4920-1168817157.dmp - mini user dump WriteFullMemory.Memory.Read(0x7ffa0000, 0x7000) failed, 0x8007012b Dump creation failed, Win32 error 299 "Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed." ***** And I end up with not that much information and no dump file. IIS state writes a log, with the threads, I guess thats something. Can I get the same information from this log file that I get from running the dump file thrue debugdiag? And then I'm curious about this configuration for IIS, just stumbled up on it when I was looking for how to configure IIS generally. "Debug Application Pool Failures (IIS 6.0)" http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/8a54abd7-0141-420c-ab85-f71b32810335.mspx Anyone tryed it with IISstate? Does it work? I guess I would get the answer if I try it, but I have to get IISSTATE running first. Tag: IIS Problem - Please Help! Tag: 391210

    - Checkbox worked on iis5 but not on iis6?!? I have made a site with dreamweaver 8 on my xp. The site is for making online control protocol Example: Question! Is the server OK? Answer: Yes. Then i check a checkbox and saves the protocol. If i answerd the question wrong and want to correct my misstake then i should be able to edit the protocol by hitting a edit button that displays the protocol with the wrong value that i entered. I correct my misstake and hit save.. voila... This works great on XP machine but not on win 2003 server I run a local iis and when i started with the site i used a access database. Now i have moved it to msde db instead. That was the first step, the next step was to transfer the site to our production server (win2003 iis6). When i access the site now the problem is that the value on a already finished protocol is always unchecked when i open it in "edit page" If i just look on the protocoll "in view page" it displays it correct. It seams that iis6 blocks the asp code that tries to retrive the value of the checkbox (checked or unchecked). Or is the iis6 that dosent understand the asp code and just ignores it and displays the checkbox unchecked because it's the dafault value. The asp code that determins if the checkbox should be checked or not is this: <td bgcolor="#666666"><div align="left" class="style3"> Uppd. av backprog OK?: <br /> <input <%If (CStr((Underhprot.Fields.Item("BackUppdOk").Value)) = CStr("True")) Then Response.Write("checked=""checked""") : Response.Write("")%> name="BackUppdOk" type="checkbox" value="<%=(Underhprot.Fields.Item("BackUppdOk").Value)%>" /> </div> If i add the code for just retriving the true or false value: <%=(Underhprot.Fields.Item("BackOk").Value)%> then when i hit the edit button it retrives the correct value wheater it is a value of True or False. It simply writes True if the checkbox was checked and it writes False if it warent. The sql datatype is Bit and allow null value.. Thanks for all help i can get! Tag: IIS Problem - Please Help!

    - Multiple webservers on one outside IP? In or intranet we have 3 webinterfaces over port 443: - Citrix MetaFrame - Exchange Webaccess - Corporate Web Site Now we need to access these 3 websites from the internet, but in our DSL modem I can only specify the outside 443 port to connect to one of the servers 443 ports. This is what we would need: when a user goes to: "https://oudsideip/exchange" he should be connected to "https://insideipexchangeserver" When a user goes to: "https://oudsideip/citrix" he should be connected to "htps://insideipcitrixserver" When a user goes to: "https://oudsideip/work" he should be connected to "https://insdeipcorporateweb" Is there maybe a kind of gateway that I can user to route users to the correct website? Or Is there a way I can use virtual directory's to do this? (I can't make a virtual directory that refers to the URL of the server because the server is only availible on the intranet) Thanks for any response, R.Demandt Tag: IIS Problem - Please Help!

    - Hanging requests (Growing requests executing) Dear reader, We have two Win2003 webfarms each consisting of 5 servers. Which we call cluster1 and cluster2. Cluster2 is the bussiest of these two and periodicaly (varies from 2 times per day to two times per week) one of the servers (this is pretty random) starts to build up Requests Executing. During this 'queueing' it still serves about approx. 75% of the requests. The requests that don't come back with an answer are added to the Requests Executing count. This goes on until 100 requests are queued then it starts throwing errors like: "The CreateObject of '(null)' caused exception C0000005" To me it seems like one of the 4 worker processes is not responding anymore. Is there a way to see why this is happening? SQL server doesn't report any locks. Thanks in advance, Jorre Tag: IIS Problem - Please Help! Tag: 391200

    - IIS Counter stuck at 1 Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide on this matter... I'm using Windows XP Pro IIS latest versions and updates for everything... I'm using FP 2002, and have server extensions installed... I know that the problem has to do with the permissions assigned to IUSR_ServerName aka the anonymous account... I have promoted this account to user, power user, and administrator so that it can read and write to _private ... but, it's not working... still stuck at 1... I have also gone into the MMC for IIS and told it to 'Check Server Extensions'... I have also removed the counter, checked the server extension, tools-> hyperlinks, and re-installed the counter... still stuck at zero... This is a stand-alone server, that is, NOT on a network... so there is not 'Security' tabs or pages... so, I went into the MMC for IIS and right-clicked on the offending sites folder, properties, went to the 'directory' tab and put a checkmark into 'Write'... I have also went to the '_private' folder, right-clicked on it, went to properties, used the 'directory' tab, and put a checkmark into 'write'... but, it still won't increment... Does anyone have any idea, other than the permissions issues that I've already tested, why this counter will not increment when people visit the page??? Most Sincerely, Dan Tag: IIS Problem - Please Help! Tag: 391199

    - Remove HttpRedirect Hi I'm working in Visual C++ and using IMSAdminBase Object to work with the metabase. I'm having a problem removing HttpRedirect from a site. I need to delete this flag from the registry using IMSAdminBase Com object. But none of the methods of this COM do so. I've tried "DeleteData", but that also only set the value of this flag as empty and does not remove the flag from the metabase. This flag needs to be removed to avoid site redirecting to another url. Can someone please tell me how to do so. Regards Usman Tag: IIS Problem - Please Help! Tag: 391186

    - weird problems after upgaded to win2003 I've installed win2003 before and never had these problems... I install win2003, sqlserver 2005 and sp1 and all the windows updates. I install vs.net 2005 and any windows updates. I did this to the framework. C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>aspnet_regiis.exe -i I stopped the default website and confgured my site. 1. when I attempt to access my asp.net 2.0 website, via http://1.2.3.4/default.aspx or local host I get: The page cannot be found The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please try the following: * Make sure that the Web site address displayed in the address bar of your browser is spelled and formatted correctly. * If you reached this page by clicking a link, contact the Web site administrator to alert them that the link is incorrectly formatted. * Click the Back button to try another link. HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found. Internet Information Services (IIS) I check the security on the of the website directory and its set to everybody with everything. I check and the web site in IIS and it has annonymous access the site has script level access.. I've installed 2003 before and somehow adding website was just automatic and it did not need to tweak anything. 2. The second problem is weird, I can tadd a shortcut from my desktop to an any http address from my desktop, it says cannot find file shortcut. I'm think all of this is because of some new new windows update and security step i now need to perform. Thanks for any help or information. Tag: IIS Problem - Please Help! Tag: 391185

I unsuccessfully installed Windows Server Update Services a while ago on my
SBS2003 server which seems to have broken my IIS. WSUS has since been
uninstalled but certain webpages such as <server>/remote or <server>/printer
do not work properly. They get stuck on the welcome pages and briefly move
onto the next page before immediately returning to the front pages again. I
suspect this is a session state problem that WSUS has caused but any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
