IIS6 Socket Pooling Breaks Network Load Balancing
I have come across what I believe to be a bug. This is
the scenario:
Server with 2 or more IP addresses, lets say 10.0.0.1 and
10.0.0.2. I set up 2 web sites, A and B. I configure A
to listen on 10.0.0.1 and B to listen on 10.0.0.2 in the
IIS MMC. I do a netstat -an and see that TCP/80 is
listening on all IP's. So I use HTTPCFG.EXE to set
iplisten to my 2 ip addresses that I am using (httpcfg
set ip listen -i 10.0.0.1). I restart the system. I do
a netstat -an and notice now TCP/80 is correctly only
listening on 10.0.0.1:80 and 10.0.0.2:80. Now I go into
the IIS MMC and stop website B. I check with netstat
again and notice that the server is still listening on
10.0.0.2:80. IIS does not serve up any pages, but the
port is still open.
I know this is probably due to the new design of the
http.sys driver, but now the network loadbalancing driver
sees port 80 still open and continues to load balance
connections to a stopped website. With IIS5 I could stop
a website, and the port would no longer be listening.
This is huge problem, we can no longer stop one website
to do maintenance, upgrades, etc. Is there a work around
(other than taking down all the websites or removing the
IP address) or a fix for this? Can this be added as a
bugfix?

Missing CSR, but Have the Generated CER
I'm trying to set up an extranet on IIS 5 Win 2k and I generated the CSR file. I sent the CSR to Verisign 3 days ago for the CER file. Since then I have since replaced the CSR file and installed a home grown CER through Certificate Server.
On a side note, after purchasing a CER from VeriSign, you can replace it for the next 30 days at no charge. I'm about to submit another request do so.
Is there anyway to retrieve the original CSR into IIS and have IIS accept the new CER from VeriSign.

file upload write permissions
Hi.
I am using IIS 5.0 on W2K Prof as a standalone testbed for a clients site.
The script i am using is (http://www.freeaspupload.net). however I cannot
get it to run the test it keeps returning the following error.
Folder H:\Current work\Mailer Test\Uploads does not have write permissions.
The value of your uploadsDirVar is incorrect.
Open uploadTester.asp in an editor and change the value of uploadsDirVar to
the pathname of a directory with write permissions.
I have changed the permissions in the above folder to include read & write
using IIS administrator. but still get the same result.
Will uploads work on WK2 prof or or is this one of the limitations on IIS
working on Professional rather than a server.

IIS Lockdown Tool/Wizard and IIS6

Can not find localhost
My java application refused at once to find localhost. Allso browsers do
not find it (IE and Opera, proxy settings are OK), with address:
http://localhost (or 127.0.0.1).
I have Windows XP Professional, no IIS, firewall or virusscan installed.
Ping command finds localhost.
I have tested connection with many other netcommands, like: net,
ipconfig, nbtstat, netstat and netsh. Difference with my colleagues PCs
is, that command: net send /domain:localhost TEST, respond to me: The
message was succesfully sent to domain LOCALHOST, and other computers:
An error occurred while sending a message to LOCALHOST*.
I have no idea left to locate the error. Do you?

IIS Bug Found - Please Confirm
I believe I found an IIS bug. At first I couldn't figure out why IIS
stopped serving web pages and images (even if I enabled directory
browsing). I tried everything I could think of and finally
uninstalled and reinstalled. Still struggled for a while and then got
it back. Until...
I had created an Excel workbook with hyperlinks, charts, etc. and
saved it as an html doc into my home directory. Bingo, the same
problems immediately began again (this corresponds with my loosing
functionality the first time too). IIS will not serve any web docs
residing anywhere on my computer whether or not their accessed via
directory browsing or via default documents. Go figure.
Any thoughts? How can I prevent this from happening? And, how do I
go about reporting this?
Thanks!

ISAPI Filter not working in IIS 6
Did anything change from IIS5 - IIS 6 in the way these 2 events are processed. SF_NOTIFY_PREPROC_HEADERS and SF_NOTIFY_URL_MAP.
We have a filter for image delivery. Incoming are URL requests for specific image resolutions.
Response is a image that could be on our file system or for a low res image that we generate on the fly based on the original image. If we have the image, we respond with a UNC path. If image doesnt exist, but can be generated, we
REDIRECT with the right params to a executable.
This works perfectly on IIS5/Windows 2000.
However on IIS6/Win2003:
------------------------------
Filter loads fine with green arrow in IIS5 compatible mode. But in the case where it has to redirect, it fails with a 500 error.
In IIS 6 mode, IIS mgr doesnt seem to load the filter, but, behaviour is similar to the IIS5 comptabile mode, where the filter is able to display the image but cannot redirect in case of a low res request.
We are not using any RAW DATA events. So, i dont think we need to run in IIS5 compatible mode. Some sample code:
DWORD OnPreprocHeaders(HTTP_FILTER_CONTEXT *pFC, HTTP_FILTER_PREPROC_HEADERS *pHeaderInfo) {
// Gets the URL that the user is requesting.
if (!pHeaderInfo->GetHeader(pFC, "url", url, &dwUrl)) {
return SF_STATUS_REQ_ERROR;
}
// look for the trigger in the url request
ParseTokenAndView(url, &tkstr, viewpath);
PhysMapStruct *pmsInfo = (PhysMapStruct *) pFC->AllocMem(pFC, sizeof(PhysMapStruct), 0);
// if the mappath starts with REDIR:
if (strncmp(mapPath, "REDIR:", 6) == 0) {
mapPath += 6;
pHeaderInfo->SetHeader(pFC, "url", mapPath);
pmsInfo->physMap = false;
}
return SF_STATUS_REQ_NEXT_NOTIFICATION;
}

server application unavailable error on IIS 6
Hello,
I have done some research on this problem but have not come across a
solution (or misunderstood an existing one) for the "server
application unavailable" error on IIS 6.
Here is our server setup and apps/programs in use:
Windows Server 2003 standard edition
SharePoint Services
IIS 6 (not using IIS 5 mode)
Mixture of ASP and ASP.Net pages
Visual Studio.Net 2003
The server is not a domain controller (or at least was not created
that way; part of a server farm and sometimes maintained by other
staff). They could have installed MS patches too which I know could
cause a conflict.
We have yet to discover any pattern to when or why this occurs. Do
wonder if sharepoint or when using Visual Studio some how causes the
error. The sharepoint site is listed as a Default application under
DefaultAppPools but has its own port other than 80. The default web
site is also listed as a default application under DefaultAppPool.
When I check the Properties for Application Pools, the Identity is set
to Predefined using "Network Services".
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

ASP on domain controller
Hello world script returns a blank page, so HTML is fine,
but ASP doesn't work. It is turned on and set

My thinking is that ASP wants to run as a local service
and domain controllers don't have local accounts.

DCOM got error "The operation completed successfully. "
and was unable to logon .\IWAM_DC2 in order to run the

Any good IIS 5.0 compressor?

Default Application pool and Network Service account
Hi,
I have an asp page that spawns an executable. This executable need to run as
a specific domain user accunt. On previous versions of windows servers I
used to set the application protection to high and go to COM+ and set the
identity to this domain account.
In Windows 2003 I presume the equivalent is the application pool. When I set
the identity of the application pool to the domain account, the internet
explorer starts popping up the authentication dialog. No valid username
password combination seems to work. Also since I set the authentication to
integrated authentication, I did not expect to see this dialog.
What should I do? What is the correct course of action?

Problems with FP site access for admin after upgrade.
Could this be an IIS 6.0 problem?
I have 40 some virtual webs on my server. It used to be a Win 2000 box with
FPSE 2000 on it. We recently upgraded the box to Windows 2003 Server, IIS6
with FPSE 2002 and had some problems. So we had to do a full install and
recreate all our DNS accounts and IIS accounts for our websites. After
making the IIS accounts and installing the extensions on each virtual web I
do not have access remotely via Frontpage 2000, 2002, or 2003. My user
account has Admin privys, and I went in to the IIS 6.0 console and added my
account in there and it still doesn't accept my user info when I log on in
frontpage. If I continue to attempt entrance Win 2003 will "lock out" my
user. I am able to get into the server via remote desktop and have all
admin privys there. I am at a loss and since our upgrade all our forms are
not working and clients are calling, but I can't log in to fix them.

IIS6 and Clustering....

2 x Dell Servers (similar hardware, not identical, but on the HCL)
No shared disks
Linked via same network segment
IIS6 deployed on both servers
Oracle used in hot standby mode (replication between DB's) - NOT CLUSTERED
Specifically, can I make the website failover between boxes? The quorum will be stored on each server, so MNS is required.

Low performence of iis web server
I have 1 websites set up running under IIS 5.0 (around 10 sub sites). After a reboot of the computer, all sub sites usually run fine (bandwidth-wise). However, eventually, at least one of the sub sites will slow down to an unbearable speed where a single 35k page might take 2-3 minutes to load . All other sites continue to run fine.

I am running WinXP Pro and want to set up my machine for web development.
I've installed IIS and I can run iisstart.asp on localhost but no iis tools
nor show in Administrative tools? Why not and how can I install them? 2nd
question: when I run http://127.0.0.1 it asks for a user name and password
but none has been set up? How can I set one up or get around it? Tag: FP Server Extension Event Log Error Tag: 341032
W2K + IIS Loses Network Connection when Under Load
Hello
This is a bit of a long one, but I would appreciate it if you would stick
with me and offer any advice you might consider useful.
We have a W2K Server being used purely as a web/database server using IIS
and SQL 2K. The server is fully patched. It is a IBM Dual Xeon 2.4Ghz 1Gb
RAM loads of disk in a RAID 1 and RAID 5 configuration. There are two
websites running on the machine, one of which is quite busy, ~15,000
visitors per day. The website consists of ASPs, Images and Movies.
The server has an Intel dual port 100Mbit NIC installed. The server is
hosted at an ISP and is protected by their firewall. The server is based in
the Netherlands while the target audience is in the UK.
As the number of visitors to the website started to grow we started to have
problems receiving pages that output a lot of HTML. The output would start
to be received and then stop. If you hit the stop button, partial content
would be displayed. The amount of content received always varied. ASPs with
small output continue to work fine, and often hitting refresh would allow
you to then receive the whole output from large files. Even when accessing
movie files over HTTP or FTP would also show this problem, for example,
downloading a movie file via HTTP would get to two percent and then stop.
Hitting stop and start in WMP controls would often allow you to receive a
bit more and so on through to completion. Similarly, when receiving files
over FTP the content would just stop coming.
We did a fair amount of network analysis on this problem and found nothing
untoward. Everything appeared to be ok, nothing weird logged in Event Logs,
IIS or in firewall logs.
I know we're not allowed to go on hunches but I think the problem is worse
when the server is under more network load as often overnight the
problematic pages would download first time. The problem has _never_
affected our ISP and other persons they have asked to test it, (most likely
based in the Netherlands). This problem seems to only affect people in the
UK on all networks, BT, NTL etc.
Using PingPlotter, (www.pingplotter.com), we could see that there was no
real problems getting to the server.
So, suspecting some sort of IIS corruption we re-installed the machine from
scratch, formatted both logical drives, re-installed W2K, SQL2K etc. The
problem still occurred.
Suspecting then that the Dual Port network card was too clever for it's own
good, we swapped it for a standard 3Com card. The problem still occurred.
We used Performance Monitor to monitor some things, but as envisaged the
server didn't appear to be under any great load and the disk queues and
pages/sec were ok. Thinking that maybe the server was a bit low on RAM, SQL
Server was consuming 800Mb of 1Gb, we decided to move SQL Server and the
database on to another machine connected via one of the Dual Port
interfaces. This, believe it or not, has made the problem worse.
As a last resort, we have plugged the unused Dual Port interface directly
into our ISPs switch, bypassing the Firewall, so to summarise, we have a
connection to the Internet via a firewall using a 3Com card, a direct cross
over connection to a SQL Server using one of the ports of the dual port card
and the other dual port interface connected directly to the Internet, no
firewall.
Now this is where it gets interesting. We immediately switched the URL for
movie downloads to the non-firewall internet connection and everything was
rosy, movies could finally be downloaded by everyone to completion first
time.
So we decided to change the DNS for our busy website to another IP Address
configured on the non-firewall internet connection. As the DNS change
started to take affect, we noticed the site kept going down and then coming
back up again. Sure enough, PingPlotter was telling us that every 5 minutes
or so, the server's network card was not responding for about 1 minute. The
interval between outages increased as we got later into the night, then in
the morning, started to become more frequent.
Needless to say we changed the DNS back to point our busy website's domain
at the dual port interface via the firewall. People are still downloading
Movies ok and we're still having periodic outages on the non-firewall
interface but only 2 or 3 per day.
What's interesting about the outages on the non-firewall interface is that
another host on that same subnet continued to have successful pings even
though people accessing via the Internet did not.
People accessing the website are still having problems with ASP files that
output large amounts of HTML and they're still refreshing to try and get the
whole file which sometimes works.
Unsurprisingly I have a couple of questions.
Has anyone experienced anything like this before?
Does anyone suspect like I do, that the two different symptoms, (via
firewall and not via firewall), could actually be the same problem but
behaving differently because of the firewall or something?
Whilst the usage of CPU, Memory etc. on the server seems to be quite low,
could the networking subsystem be having a problem that is not being
reported anywhere? Could moving SQL Server on to a different machine and
then connecting via network have accentuated the problem as the symptoms
suggest?
Are we expecting too much out of our server? Here is our usage graphs which
may mean more to you than me, but you will see the drop in usage as we have
switched to the other NIC interface and back again.
http://cobalt01.open-doors.nl/01/81.23.232.254_24.html
I should point out that our ISP is managing many hosts all with high
bandwidth utilisation including a very popular dating site and some audio
streaming sites. No problems of this nature has been reported to them other
than this one which they have finally given up on.
If I phone IBM or Microsoft surely they're just going to play one off
against the other... where do I go next?
Many thanks for reading this.

IIS needs XP SP 1 what?
VS 2003 wants me to get security updates from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/security and then install IIS -- as
installation prerequisits.
When I install IIS, it asks for the XP SP 1 CD (or files). I've downloaded
XP SP 1, but the files it searches for don't seem to be in it (admxprox.dll
is one example).
What the heck files does IIS need to install and where do I get them?
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/security) is too vague.
Any help much appreciated, thanks!

IIS uninstall
Is there anyone out there that could tell me the best
procedure for uninstalling IIS. This is a reccomendation
made by a vendor. I would like to know that if i
uninstall will i need the server disk to re install or
can this be done through updates? Also when looking in
add/remove components I dont see IIS, but when I go to
task manager it is there running?
Any info will help. Thank you for your time. Tag: FP Server Extension Event Log Error Tag: 341023
Odd scenario
We are using storage server 2003 to host the home directories of our users. Because these users travel frequently/telecommute, they need full read/write/change permissions to files in their home directory. I have it setup so that they have to authenticate with their AD login before accessing the page; they can download files, but can't upload. They must be able to upload in order for us to move forward. Any suggestions or ideas are greatly appreciated!

Access Denied creating virtual directory with Internet Service Manager
I have a developer that gets Access Denied when trying to create a virtual
directory remotely on IIS6 when using Internet Service Manager from her W2K
machine. I've made sure that she is a member of the local Administrator
group on the web server. I'm not able to make her a domain admin however.
I've found a few other references to this problem but no solutions. Anyone
have any ideas?

Tomcat 5 with IIS6 using JK2
Hi,
I am trying to get tomcat 5 to work with IIS6 using jk2. In spite of
following the instructions included in the jk2 download I have still managed
to make some progress. However, I seem to have hit a brick wall.
I can get the /jkstatus page, but whenever I try and access any URL that
goes to tomcat, I get nothing - the page never returns. I have hand-cranked
the HTTP request with telnet and IIS just keeps the socket open and doesn't
return anything. I can see that the AJP is listening on 8009 but I never see
any connects to it. Requests that aren't mapped to tomcat work OK.
I have read most anything I can find on the net including all the links from
http://www.rit.edu/~ack5504/tomcat-iis6-howto/tomcat_iis6_resources.html but
to no avail. Unfortunately, the one he describes as the best guide
(http://virtualict.net/support/kb/iis6-Tomcat5-JK2.html) the link doesn't
work and all of the other guides seem to use jk1 rather than jk2
I have tried putting debugging on but all I ever get is a single message in
the log file saying "Initializing log file".
Here is a bit more background info:
I was not sure whether the vbscript program was supposed to be in addition
to, or instead of, the manual configuration. I ran it after doing all the
manual configuration and in retrospect this was probably a bad idea.
After failing to get the isapi connector to load, I noticed the jakarta
virtual root did not have read access (though it did have "scripts and
executables" execute permission) so I added it manually. I have a hunch that
the vbscript program removed this access because it was there when I made
the virtual directory in the first place..
After that, the connector loaded OK but I couldn't get the /jkstatus page -
I just got 404 on everything. so I added the DLL as a "web service
extension" (I already had IIS in isolation mode) and then the jkstatus page
started working.
any help or advice would be very welcome. The only place I can think of to
go next is to rebuild the connector from source and put my own debugging in
(yeuch) or have a go with jk1

can access site locally on 80 but not on 8083 ?
Hi,
On IIS6 im trying to open the following path from the machine hosting the
site on port 8083 (as a test):
http://server:8083/CATALOG/
the site is listening on 8083 but i keep getting
"You are not authorized to view this page" error.
the site is setup to:
- allow anonymous access.
- run allow read
- allow script access
The site works ok on port 80 when entering the path:
http://server/scott/catalog/
(Note: several dirs under wwwroot are the root of other websites but default
website on 80 is still wwwroot).
Just does not work on port 8083. Nothing will be blocking it as 2003 ip
filtering not on and its local.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
