    - Installation od IIS: file errors When attempting to install IIS on my WinXP Pro sys (SP2 installed) I get the following errors: Setup cannot copy the file uiihelper.dll. There are a great number of .dll files that I get this error with. The install utility is looking in the C:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 folder, however, all the files the installer appears to be searching for are in the folder. What can I do to overcome this hurdle? Thanks Tag: IIS 101 (difference between web site and virtual directory) Tag: 381010

    - Please with new IIS v6 Install Hello, As you will notice from my question I'm new to the configuration of IIS. Could someone please point me in the right direction (book or web links) that will give me a good step by step procedure and understanding of how to configure my newly installed IIS v6 Server? What I need to know is how to put in place a web page that has been built using Microsoft Publisher v2003 (.pub file), and how do I make it accessible to everyone in the company. By the way, this IIS has been built for "internal use only" it will not be open to the public, so I don't have to worry about locking it down so much. Thanks in advance for your help with this matter. William Tag: IIS 101 (difference between web site and virtual directory) Tag: 380994

    - IPP Printer Security Hi, I want to publish our printer on the web with IPP printing of IIS. Everything works well exept for the security: when I remove the everyone groups from the security tab (so everyone have not permission on a printers) I can't install the printer even if I log on the server with administrator's user. I send my good credential (as I passed them to connect to IIS), but the server "reprompt" twice and, after a while, I receive an error message that I can't connect to the printer.

    - Host header with port 81 Hi, On our IIS Server we have two web sites. The default web site is using the port 80 and the second web site is using port 81. On the second web site I've inserted a Host Header Name (www.website2.net), then to test the connection I've modified the Hosts file on the server to included the host header (10.10.10.10 www.website2.net). If I ping www.website2.net from the IIS server I get a response but if I try to access the web site with the host header I get prompt for a username and password. Anonymus access is disabled.

    - Help with FTP Server Links? I'm not sure if this is the correct groups to post in but its the closest i could find, so i apologize in advance if it is not. We have an FTP server here at our company office and we would like to streamline or client access to the site and make it much cleaner and easier for them. Basically right now how we do it is we give them the following instructions: type in ftp.XXXXX.com (where X is our company name) Then select File > Login As and then they enter the username and password we provide. This does work, but its kind of a pain, and some of the clients accessing the site are not exactly the most computer literate. We have several vendors we work with who somehow have a much better setup. They provide us a link in the email that automatically signs them in as a specific user and brings them directly to the folder they need access to. Even though they cant get into folders of other clients, a lot of employees here find it discouraging that Client A can even see Client B's folder, as they are competition. Is this some kind of special software utility? i would understand if no one here wants to take me step by step through this process if its complicated, but does anyone here have a link to some site that can help? Thank you very much in advance! Tag: IIS 101 (difference between web site and virtual directory) Tag: 380981

    - NameServers My registrar offers three choices for Nameservers: 1-If we are hosting with them, we leave it to default 2-If we don't have a webpage, we can use their parked DNS Servers. 3-Choose your own DNS Server or DNS Server of the hosting company. For right now, I just put the same Nameservers ns95.worldnic.com, ns96.worldnic.com which I am using from my old domain, which is still active, registrar. I am the one hosting my own website from my old domain. I understand Nameservers control how a domain name is resolved, translates the IP to the Domain name (I think ???). My ultimate question is, what is the proper information about namedservers on the registrar that has my domain name. Tag: IIS 101 (difference between web site and virtual directory) Tag: 380961

    - IIS Web Application assigned to a Virtual Drive I have a Web Application that I created with Studio .Net 2005. It uses IIS of course and it works fine. When I set up a Virtual drive and have my project running on IIS with the virtual drive, IIS does not recognize the Virtual drive path. The path is correct when I look at the properties for the web application in ISS, but it looks like IIS does not work if the application is using a virtual drive. I used the prompt command subst to assign a virtual drive to my work folders on my C drive. If the Web Application in IIS uses the real path on the C drive it works, otherwise IIS gets a path not found error if the virtual drive is used.

    - Static Compression should *not* increase CPU usage, right? Howdy - I've got a single 100K file that I'm hitting as part of a stress test to investigate IIS tunable parameters. I've got a thousand virtual users doing a GET on this file. Without compression, I'm getting something on the order of 6 second response times, and able to get 115 responses per second, and CPU sits around 5-10%. With compression, I'm getting 1200 responses/sec (yay!) but CPU goes up to 80% and stays there the whole time. It's my understanding that IIS would only compress this static file once, and then would cache it and serve it up over and over again - but that's not what is happening (or some related thing is pushing the CPU up). Any ideas?

Can't put this site on a regular server, so I have a workstation. Corporate reasons for that. When I type in IE on a workstation, //computername, it looks on the interenet and kicks back MSN search. If I type http://computername, it says page can not be found. I have the properties set up for anomoyus. I tried both a local accout and and domain account in "Account used for anonymous access". I never had a problem like this when I set up IIS on a server, it just always works. Any thoughts would be great!!! TIA!!

    - Application Pool recycling hangs Hi, We are having a few problems with ASP.Net pages hanging during load when an Application Pool is recycled. To test this we have setup the following ASP.net page which refreshes every 2 seconds: <%@ Page language="c#" %> <%@ Import Namespace="System" %> <%@ Import Namespace="System.IO" %> <script runat="server"> void Page_Load(Object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Label1.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString(); StreamWriter SW; SW=File.AppendText("c:/inetpub/wwwroot/log1.txt"); SW.WriteLine(DateTime.Now); SW.Close(); } </script> <html> <head> <title>Cache Test</title> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2"> </head> <body> <form runat="server"> <asp:label id="Label1" runat="server" /> </form> </body> </html> I've also set the Application Pool that the site runs under in IIS 6.0 to Recycle every 1 minute (and set the Idle Timeout on the Performance tab to 1 minute). The page seems to refresh ok for a while in the browser each 2 seconds but sometimes when the Application Pool recycles the page load hangs for over one minute and will eventually start going again. On another machine however it runs continuously without hanging. Does anyone have an idea as to what the hanging might be caused by? Thanks - Wayne.

    - HTTP Requests Blocked for non admin users Hi, we have an application that is HTTP based hosted on a Windows 2003 Server (SP1) with IIS 6.0 which has been working fine to date. Authentication to the websites has been using Windows Integrated security and basic authentication. All of a sudden we are now having a serious problem in that it appears that the server is only allowing HTTP requests to the server where the user making the request is an administrator on the box. The websites that are hosted on this server can be accessed when connected as a local admin user but are rejected with a "HTTP 500 - Internal Internet Server Error" for non administrative users. When I take the friendly HTTP messages option off the error is "Unable to contact local security authority". It appears to me that the server has been changed in some shape or form and that security has been tightened in some way but I can't find where. We have additional servers in this environment some of which are also displaying this behaviour and some of which aren't (the only difference being that the server that isn't has not been patched recently). Has anybody out there come across a similar problem ? If so I'd be really appreciative if you could give me any help on tracking down what is causing this as it causing us major problems. Are there patches that could be causing this or could it be another tool causing this (IIS Lockdown, URLScan etc.). Any information greatly appreciated.

    - Webdav design Hi, I have a customer that has an FTP solution for their users. Users log on to ftp.domain.com and specify their network credentials. This is a Windows 2000 IIS server and the FTP site has been set so that the home directory points to \\SERVER\SHARE Under \\SERVER\SHARE we have all the user's home directories and in each home directory we have a private folder. Each home directory allows access to IUSR_IISSERVER so that they can publish web content and other people can surf in to their website. The private folder is not accessible to IUSR. On the FTP site the UNCUsername attribute has been removed so that the authenticated user's credentials are used when connecting to \\SERVER\SHARE So when they access the FTP site ftp.domain.com and specify their network creds they get automatically redirected to their own home directory under \\SERVER\SHARE I have propsed that we change this solution for one based on webdav using SSL. So the architecture would look a little like this: ISA 2004 (with SSL cert) -------- IIS 6.0 (Webdav Server) ---------- File Server with home directories Does anyone know if we can get the redirect to work with web dav? i.e. A user browses to https://webdav.domain.com and then enters thier network creds. They then get redirected to their home directory under \\SERVER\SHARE Or must we specify https://webdav.domain.com/userid Thanks in advance for any help Simon Tag: IIS 101 (difference between web site and virtual directory) Tag: 380911

    - w3wp.exe running at 100% Last night my IIS6 server running on Server 2003 started to lock up when loading an asp.net page. I'm running MySQL 5 and dotNet 2.0. The CPU usage was at 100% because of a process called w3wp.exe. I've done some research but have gotten no definitive answers as to how to take care of the problem - not being an IIS efficinado. I made no changes to the server before the problem started. There are 4 virtual directories running in the default application pool - so I've learned from various posts. I did find one post on a site the said they had the solution but they wanted my credit card number and $9.95 a month. I suppose that's not like talking on the phone for 4.95 a minute but probably better than talking to MS at $250 per incident. I tried MS web site and nothing specific there either. At any rate, rather than parting with any money, I thought I'd try the freebee route. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

    - ASP.NET error on server but not on workstation I'm developing an ASP.NET v2.0 application that runs fine on my local workstation IIS (v5.5 on XP I believe). However when I publish it to my Windows 2k3 server it reports "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when button is clicked on the page. The stack track looks like it finds the button however stops when after it lists the code behind routine that takes care of the click event. I'm really at a loss here. I've tried to get remote debugging to work to see if I can track it down some more however even when I attach to the process on the server it won't step through my code. That also bothers me. Both websites are configured identically aside from the normal server versus personal IIS differences, which really isn't that many. They are using the same web.config file which ultimately sets up the ASP.NET 2.0 config on their respective websites. I'm completely at a loss here. It seems like it just can't find my code behind in the dll's that are uploaded. Any insights? Tag: IIS 101 (difference between web site and virtual directory) Tag: 380884

    - versioning IIS 6 xml metabase Are there any guidelines or recommendations for or against versioning xml configuration as part of SDLC process? We are thinking about versioning a single xml metabase file in our SCM tool. This single xml file would be the standard configuration to be used in multiple environments such as dev, test, and prod. During deployment, server-specific details such as ip addreses would be set by performing an XSL transformation on the xml metabase. The goal would be to 1) version IIS configuration as a single xml file 2) separate server-specifc configuration (ip addresses) from IIS configuration 3) merge server details and IIS configuration at deployment time Does this seem reasonable, or what are some other ways to version / manage changes to IIS configuration?

The process I'm after is exactly that which SourceForge has for it's members: "Each user is provided with an email alias in the form username@users.sourceforge.net. This mail alias forwards email to the email address on-file for your user account. This email address is provided during the user account registration process, or through an update via the Account Maintenance page." For the life of me, I can't find out how to do this or what is required hardware, software, web, etc. Can someone help me with information on this?

    - Problems with Redirecting... Greetings, I am running IIS 6 (with Exchange 2003) and want to accomplish the following: Default web site should take users to a redirected website (I know how to setup redirect feature) but directories under the default should not redirect users to another site. So for instance, if default web site is installed as http://serverA, I want users to be redirected to http://serverB when they type http://serverA in the browser but if they type, http://serverA/Exchange, they should stay on serverA and not be redirected to serverB. I can get default web site to redirect to ServerB but the problem is that why I try to get to the directories under the same server, I am redirected to ServerB as well. When I made the changes for redirection (on default web site), it did ask me if child nodes (for instance, exchange, public, oma etc) should inherit (highlight and click ok option) the new settings but I did not highlight on any directories and just clicked OK (also tried clicking on cancel which should not be the case). The problem is that when I even try to manually go into the virtual directories and change configuration â??no redirect â?? A directory on this computer..â?? and click ok on it, it does not retain the settings. Am I missing anything here, any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

    - IIS 4.0 and NT 4.0 - Extremely SLOW Hi all... I have a problem. My sites running IIS 4.0 and NT 4.0 were running great but in the last week, they have slowed right down. They don't crash but it can take up to 20 seconds to load a page. I've checked the CPU usage and it's fine. Is there a way that I can start trying to find out what is wrong? Any help or advice would be great. Thanks Tag: IIS 101 (difference between web site and virtual directory) Tag: 380864

    - Internal connection fatal error Hi everybody. I am experiencing a problem with IIS 5, WebServices and SQL Server 2000. I have installed a microsoft cluster with Windows 2000 Enterprise Edition. In the first node I have the IIS 5 installed (Windows 2000 Ent. Ed. SP4). In the second node, i have SQL Server 2000 Ent. Ed. SP4. We have some Webservices on node one that access to the dabatabase. Those webservices writes to a log file some information. I see that many of them says "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding." and in some ocasions appears the message "Internal connection fatal error". I have been searching at Google, Microsoft, etc. about this problem, but i see nothing concrete. Please, can anybody help me. Thanks a lot....

    - SMTP Relay Error using CDONTS and the .CC property in ASP Hey, this is a real head scratcher. The following code works as written: Set objMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail") objMail.From = "test@insidedomain.com" objMail.To = "test@outsidedomain.com" objMail.Subject = "SMTP TEST" objMail.Body = "TESTING" objMail.Send Set objMail = Nothing However if I add the the following code after the .To statement: objMail.CC = "test@insidedomain.com" What happens is that the mail gets delivered to the .CC address but a relay error occurs on the .To address. Once I take out the .CC statement, the .To address gets the delivery. Any ideas? Thanks. Tag: IIS 101 (difference between web site and virtual directory) Tag: 380855

Hi,

I am wondering if anybody can tell me what is (from the user point of
view as well as from technical point of view) the difference between a
web site and a virtual directory.
I know that you cannot assign an DNS record to a virtual directory name
so the user can go to directly to the url.

Also I am wondering if I anybody can recomend a web site that presents
basics about IIS.

Thanks,

Carly

Virtual directory resides under a website..... and only website has the URL
name that associated with your DNS.
You can have multiple websites, and configure IIS to have directly point it
to the desire path as the root folder.

For basic IIS detail, refer the IIS help file that comes with your IIS
installation.
You can also visit - iis-resources.com, iisfaq.com, microsoft.com/iis/
