Newbie to IIS 6
I have just upgraded my W2K/IIS5.1 setup to W2K3/IIS6. Using host headers
for a couple of websites on one IP. No probs. All is well.
I have heard that IIS6 includes the "URL Scan" functionality that I was
using for my IIS5.1 setup. Where do I go to adjust the parameters?
Thanks,

Ways to improve performance of IIS application
I am using Win 2003 Enterprise Edition with SQL Server 2000 SP3.
An ASP web-based application with 200 users is being run on this server.
How can i watch on a regular basis to make sure the performance of the
web server for the 200 users is good and not slow.
What are the best practices, guidelines? Any books or online articles you
can share for me to read more about managing an IIS Server when running
a database application on it?
Are there Performance Monitor alerts i have to configure or i have to
manually
verify Task Manager on a regular basis and see if INETINFO.EXE, DLLHOST.EXE,
SQLSERVER.EXE are using too much resources and do IISRESET, SQL Server
services
restart, etc...?
Can someone share their thoughts, experience, suggestions and/or
recommendations on this
subject of performance monitoring and improving?
Thank you very much Tag: IIS & Windows Prompt? Tag: 343532
Connection to local host refused after fresh install.
Hi
IIS has stopped working on my Windows XP pro system. I initially received
an Error 13: when trying to connect to local sites.
I uninstalled IIS and then reinstalled hoping the problem would be fixed. I
don't get that error now but when attempting to connect to a local site I
get the following message.
The connection was refused when attempting to contact 127.0.0.1
The only complication I have on my system is that Apache is also installed.
However it is configured to start manually and is not started on boot up.
Apache is working fine when manually started.
Could there be a conflict with Apache? The 2 web servers resided on this
system together well for the past 10 months.
I'd really appreciate any suggestions about when could be my problem.
Thanks

Urgent -Problem with IIS 6 Performance
Hi
The server is a co-located Xeon 3.0ghz. I am running win2003 with IIS6 and
PHP 4.38. When I run a page with an embedded PHP script that generates
simple output, it runs quickly when accessed via IE6 locally on the server,
or at the co-location facility. When accessed from an outside site, it runs
extremely slowly, and then times out. The final html page is about 4kB.
<?
function getmicrotime(){
list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ",microtime());
return (substr($sec,7,3) . substr($usec,1,4) );
}
?>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?
for ($i=1;$i<=10;$i++) {
for ($j=1;$j<=250;$j++) {
print "$j";
}
$time_start=getmicrotime();
print "<br> $i $time_start<br>& ";
}
?>
</body>
when the output page page is preformatted (php is not dynamically generating
it) it does respond very quickly. i think it is something in the byte by
byte generation and transmission of the page.
My guess is something in the TCP/IP configuration is wrong, but I don't have
a clue what.
This problem is very urgent. I'd appreciate any insights.

Splitting Dynamic IP to two URL/Domains
I have a No-IP Dynamic IP Address (too cheap to buy Static) and want to still
have two web-sites running on two separate servers. Because I can't assign
external Static IP Addresses to the two servers, does anybody know of a
technology that can sniff what URL was originally typed in and using that,
forward to the correct NIC?
Don't think MS has this technology, but could be wrong.

I have a website that is running on my Win2k box and it is using port
80. But I put another website under a different port 8080. When I go

from that (i know this is not the best way, but it is
only tempory). the servers ip is 192.168.0.124. this is a

cannot add default document iis 6
I have a 2003 server running iis6. Whenever I try and set the default
document for a site (different than the four that are automatically
setup when you create the site), such as index.shtml, IIS does not
server the default document.
I have checked the default document settings many times - the correct
filename is there, its at the top of the list, I have enabled SSI, the
actual file is in the root of the web directory.
Its very odd - for instance: I have a site setting up thats default
document is index.asp. IIS does not serve that page (always get
Directory listing denied). I checked the site settings and index.asp
is at the top of the list and the checkbox to enable default documents
is checked. BUT, if I save the index.asp file as default.asp (one of
the documents that is in default document list by default when you
create a new site), IIS serves the default document no problem.
I am using host headers to make the most out of my IP's - could it be
related to that?
Any and all help is appreciated,

Can not acccess local website with Windows Auth
I'm running XP SP2 and applied 817293.
I can use IE to connect to IIS on the same using Windows Auth (NT, not kerb)
machine with:
o http://localhost
o http://<NetBIOS name>
but not:
o http://127.0.0.1
o http://<FQDN>
o http://<alternate A record FQDN>
I even added to the hosts file
127.0.0.1 <FQDN>
with no luck.
It's strange. Even the logfiles will show combos of 127.0.0.1 and my actual
IP address with and without NT Auth -- so it's not Route problem per se.
Access from a second machine is OK. Tried RunAs with a Win2K Kerb accound,
same problem.

Need urgent help with asp.net perfromance...
Hi,
I have a dedicated server running Win 2003, IIS 6, and ASP.net 1.1
I have 8 ip addresses and under the Default Web Site I created a
virtual directory called "test" so I can test my app. This uses "All
Assigned IPs"
My app is asp.net (C#) and uses MS Access db (JET).
Here is the problem:
When trying to go to the site using a browser:
www.mysite.com/test/index.aspx
It takes 20 seconds to load the page! This is unacceptable!
Running the same site on a "SHARED" host (less powerfull) it take 6
seconds to load.
Logging into my dedicated server and viewing performance as I load the
page from another PC, It seems like my dedicated server is stalling
for about 12 seconds before sending the page to the client.
I dont know what is causing this. Could it be a problem with IIS?
ASP.NET? Server hardware? I have tried everything I could think of.
Does any one have any ideas.

Internal web for web design
I have 2 computers on a LAN. We share the same DSL account. My computer uses
WinXP Home and I want to design some web pages using Front Page Extensions.
The other computer uses WinXP Pro. I just installed IIS on the other
computer. Not knowing that it is very desirable to have XP PRO on the
computer used to develop FP webs, I installed FP on the XP Home computer.
My goal is to test the FP web pages internally, before publishing them to my
ISP (who has FP Extensions).
I think it's possible to publish the webs from my XP Home computer to the
other XP PRO computer, in order to test it out completely (database, forms,
and some other neat tools in FP). Please point me to a site that explains,
step-by-step, how that would be done. Thanks you. Tag: IIS & Windows Prompt? Tag: 343444
Win2000/IIS caching of credentials
I would like to know how long Windows 2k caches user credentials. In
particular, I have a web server connected through a rather slow pix-to-pix
VPN to a Win2k domain controller on the main LAN. The web application
server uses a domain user account to run the application. It's obvious that
it doesn't authenticate to the domain for each visit to the web application
server. I understand that the credentials are cached for a certain amount
of time to avoid this repeated round trip for each hit to the webserver.
My questions is--if my assumption is true--what is the default caching
period? Can I change it? How?

Obtaining SSL info from established session
Hi all,
I'm in the process of searching for a solution to my problem, so I
apologize if this is redundant...
I've got a client-server system that uses IE components in a
client-side application to connect to a sever-side application that
uses IIS as an entry point (.NET). In other words, the IE/IIS
components are used to establish a secure connection for .NET
remoting.
The application itself requires user/pass authentication inside the
server-side SSL suthenticated tunnel, which is subject to various
security issues (insider MITM attack, for example).
What we desire is to have a mutually authenticated SSL session
established between the client and the server, but to use that
authentication information within the server-side application -- in
other words, get rid of the user/pass maintenance.
Is there a simple, obvious way to achieve this without changing a
bunch of the application?
Thanks in advance.
