    - How to track user activity using ASPSESSIONID Hi, We have a secured website and a user needs to create an account before they can log in. After they login a session cookie (ASPSESSIONIDQABTBBAB=MOPPDDHDOKBJCJFOINAHCJKD) is created to identify the user. We have this session cookie in the IIS 6 log file and I would like to know of any software that we can use them for tracking user activity other than WebTrends. Thanks Joe Tag: IIS install problems Tag: 370537

    - Change Password Function I am trying to get the Change Password function to work in Outlook Web Access. Since it's really an IIS function, I am posting here. The problem is that I can't get it to work for users whose passwords have already expired. I am using W2K3 with SP1/Exchange 2003 with SP1. This problem is known and is supposed to be fixed in W2K3 SP1 or if you get a hotfix from MS for it. I have followed the instructions in KB 297121 and here are the results: A user whose password hasn't expired can log in to OWA, click the Change Password button, get the Change Password form and successfully change their password. When a user whose password has expired tries to access OWA, they get a 403 error. If that user types in the path to the Password Change form (https://owa.domain.com/iisadmpwd/Aexp2b.asp) they also get a 403 error unless I allow Anonymous access to the iisadmpwd directory. In that case they are able to change their password. However a user with an expired password can't access OWA even with Anonymous access allowed on the iisadmpwd directory. Does anyone know what I need to do to get this to work? Is anyone else using it successfully? This is a potentially very important feature, since users who are away for long periods may need it. And you know that none of them will be concerned about changing their password until they have to. Thanks. Tag: IIS install problems Tag: 370535

    - Detailed Logs on http 403.2 Error When Using SSL Hi, We are running Win2000/IIS6.0 and running an SAP service (Internet Transaction Server) under it. We can access that service using http on port 80 without any problems. We installed an SSL certificate, and set up the SAP service on port 443. However, when we access the Website under port 443, the following error appears: ***************************************************************** HTTP 403.2 - Forbidden: Read Access Forbidden Internet Information Services ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Technical Information (for support personnel) Background: This error can be caused if there is no default page available and directory browsing has not been enabled for the directory, or if you are trying to display an HTML page that resides in a directory marked for Execute or Script permissions only. ********************************************************************** I think that the directories and permissions are fine, as I can access them on port 80 with http. What could be the issue, and how can I get more information (perhaps setting a trace level higher) on this issue?

    - IIS6 Website stops responding - App pool problem? Scenario: ====== One of our online applicaiton website that runs 9 to 12 virtual directories and share a common application pool. The applications (within the Virt.directories) are ASP and ASP.Net based and they share sessions. Sessions not stored outside. Now, we moved this webserver to production couple of weeks ago, after testing. One thing that wasnt tested though is load testing. The online applications get 3000 hits per day, in total. App pool settings: =========== We had left default settings as is initially, except that we had setup specific identity to run the pool. However, we have changed the settings a bit as follows: Settings for the app pool: Assume what is not mentioned to be OFF Recycle worker process(in minutes):3740 Recycle worker processes at 2:00AM everyday Shutdown worker processes after being idle for: 20 min Limit Kernel request queue: 20000 (number of requests) Max. number of worker processes: 1 (web garden) Enable Pinging: every 30 seconds Enable rapid fail protection: failures- 5; Time period -5 Startup time limit: 90 seconds Shutdown time limit: 90 seconds Problem: ====== The website stops reponding suddenly at some times. It happened 3 times during last 2 weeks period. We had to recycle the app pool and immediately it would come back up. Then we made some adjustments to the app pool config from defaults to the above mentioned and still not great improvements. Event log reports ID: 1013 Source:W3SVC Description: A process serving applicaton pool 'xyz' exceeded time limits during shutdown. Process id was 'xxxx' (xyz is the applicaiton that we are talking about ) Same Applicaiton used to run just fine while it was hosted in IIS5 for nearly 4 years. Questions: 1. What configuration setting is needed in the app pool to make this work fine. We are ok with recycling it in the mid night 2. I am also concerned about the sessions being lost (but its a different issue) 3. The server has enough RAM (2GB) and Dual processor Xeon3.2ghz, so Will allocating more than one worker processes to the application pool HELP? Thanks Sam Tag: IIS install problems Tag: 370518

    - Virtual directory on non-default web site I've a w2k with iis5. I had a application running on the default web site. I install a new web site running in other port, only for tests. I disable the default web site and change the porta of my other site to 80. Then I'm able to use this site. In the Internet Information server configuration, I change the default web site to my new site. Then, I deleted the default Web Site. Now, I'm having some problems. I couldn't create any automatic virtual directory. For example, when I try to install a application made in asp.net the virtual directory is not created. Anyone can help-me?

    - Metabase.xml self pruning? IBIS has a value, AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed=204800 as a default. We definitely want to allow larger files and do not want this limit to apply at all. We control the uploads programmatically. A few days ago I changed AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed to 80 Mb. Today that line was missing from metabase.xml. Since then I have mad numerous changes through MMC such as adding virtual directories, but nothing that should have modified this. Yesterday I also rebooted the server. This morning I copied the AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed line back and set the value to 71680000. Is there some kind of an absolute limit? Can I expect this value to stick?

    - Geting physical path of IIS directories Hi, Im trying to get programmaticly the physical path of each directory displayed on IIS Console. If the SchemaClassName is "IIsWebVirtualDir" then I can get it (i.e.: "C:\..."). Trying with the "IIsWebDirectory" schema, I get a url like follows: IIS://DAGOSERVER/w3svc/1/ROOT/DagoSite and not the common physical path like "C:\...". If I put both on the browser, they run well. I wrote a property to get the path as: public string WSPath { get { if (WSKeyType == "IIsWebVirtualDir") { return WebSiteEntry.Invoke("GET", "Path").ToString(); } else{ return WebSiteEntry.Path; } } } Thank you!

    - IIS 6.0 Configuration Problems Hi, We are facing a problem with our Web Server running Internet Information Server 6.0 (IIS 6.0) configured on a Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 1 and all Critical Patches. We are able to access this web server from all the clients inside our Network. We assigned a Public IP Address (Which we got it from our ISP) to access this Web Server from Outside World. But from outside network (Public Network) we are not able to access this Web Server, giving a time out Error. To check the possibility of firewall configuration problem, we configured the same public IP to an other webserver running Windows 2000 Server with IIS 5.0 and it is working fine.

Should I set this property to 1440 minutes? Does it has something to do with session? And there is some other property: health - shuth down the worker process after 90 minutes.

    - IIS screwed up totally... how do I fix this. I have a nachine with Win2k sp4 server, it's running IIS. Well was running IIS; it is not a web server so i used it for testing a long time ago. I decided to do it again, but there's a problem. IIS is not working. Localhost isn't responding via hhtp; when I try to launch IIS admin, I get "System cannot find a path specified" when I try to ocnnect to the server to manage it. When I shut down and restert IIS Admin and Web Publishing services, an error appears in event log: Unable to query the W3SVC (HTTP) service performance data. The error code returned by the service is data DWORD 0. I ma not sure if this error is related to the problem cause its descriptions on MS site and forums are irrelevant... What is it and how do i start fixing it? Tag: IIS install problems Tag: 370459

    - Migrating Newsgroups to another server Apologies in advance if this question has been asked before, but my search has left me high and dry. I am attempting to migrate some newsgroups from a Windows 2000 server running IIS 5 to a Windows 2003 server running IIS 6. So far, on the new server, I recreated all of the newsgroups. Last night, I shut off the news servers on both servers, and copied the contents of each newsgroup directory found in inetpub\nntpfile\root from the old server to the new server. When everything came up, I found my newsreader saw all the messages as expired, and would not allow me to post a new message. At this point, I've reverted back to the Windows 2000 server, but I need to have this service migrated within the next week as the Windows 2000 server will be disappearing. My desired result would be that when I do this migration, that there would be no difference to any of the users that use the server, however, if necessary, I am willing to give them advance notice that they may need to reset their newsreaders (we've had to do this before). I do wish to keep all the posts that are currently there though. Does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Aaron Tag: IIS install problems Tag: 370450

    - Mime Types in IIS 6.0 I though that if there wasn't a MINE type specified Globaly or locally in the ISM the user would get a 404.3. I can't get this to work with .mpg files. I remove the Mime type and the user gets a dialog box to either save or open the file, along with a 200 code in the logs. I recyled the App Pool and WWW Service just in case. It's still not working, Anybody know what's happening here? Does this have something to do with the user IE settings? Thanks Tag: IIS install problems Tag: 370449

    - IIS 6 and ASP pages HI I'm having a weird issue. I checked in Web service extensions to enable ASP. When I go to my site via www.sitename.com I get the page that's serviced by default.asp fine. Now, if I specify www.sitename.com/default.asp I get a page that says The system cannot find the file specified. And any other ASP pages that I specify gives me that error. Because of this, any link I click on the default page gives me that error since it's trying to go to another asp page. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

    - Authentication Problem in IIS6 Hi I have an application hosted in IIS6, Win2003 server. It is supposed to work as an extension to MSCRM. Both MSCRM application and my app is set to the same application pool. Windows authentication is used to login. The user should log in to crm using window authentication and then should able to access my custom pages. The problem is when i login into mscrm using windows authentication, i can access all the links related to crm. But the moment i click on the link to my custom pages, it asks for windows authentication again. I dont know why this happens. Previously this application was deployed in IIS5 and it worked fine. Once logged in it wouldnt ask for login till the browser is closed. I tried various things like syncing time of the Webserver with DC, since someone had suggested that this might be cause, due to kerberos issue. But did not workout. Anyone any clue how this can be solved, so that as soon i as log into to the first app it does not ask again for authentication clicking to the second link. Thanks in Advance Satish Tag: IIS install problems Tag: 370434

    - Content from Inherited dll Not Appearing in ASP.NET Site Under IIS6 I have recently migrated from IIS5 to IIS6, and am having a few problems setting up a number of ASP.Net sites. All static sites, and most ASP.Net are working fine, but there are a few which are not, each of which have something particular in common, which is that they all have their main content generated by an external compiled dll. In other words, I have a compiled dll which has in it base page classes from which the client application's pages inherit, providing general markup for such as a page header, menu, footer etc. The inherited pages define their own content, which is then combined at runtimw with that of the base page. Under IIS5 this was working fine, however under IIS6 none of the content which is generated by the base classes is rendered to the page - only the markup explicitely declared in the child, inherited pages is shown. No errors are shown (permissions, file access etc.), the content is just missing. Is there anything I need to know about inheriting from external dlls in this way in IIS6, or are there any general dll restrictions that need removing? Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks, Chris Tag: IIS install problems Tag: 370428

    - IIS6 Only Serves ASP.Net Locally - Please Help IIS Gurus!! It is matters I'm trying to get a DotNetNuke site up. Followed instructions to the letter. Works GREAT on the server but wont serve to the network or internet. If I hit the server from a network machine it redirects to the localmachines site. From workstation Keyed URL: http://servername/DotNetNuke/ Resolves to http://localhost/DotNetNuke/ Page can not be found But it will serve static pages and content fine. I'm not an IIS / Server expert but a developer. I believe the problem to be server related. Please any ideas Thanks in advance group. Tag: IIS install problems Tag: 370420

    - Two replicated websites I used to have only one Windows 2000 + IIS server in my intranet with lots of ISAPI and ASP applications. As my LAN grew up, I bougth two W2k3 + IIS servers. The idea is keep this two websites replicated. I installed Network Load Balancing and my questions are about replication. When I have to updated them I guess I'll need to: 1) Drainstop SERVER A (NLB command to finish current actitives and stop working), so B will handle all new traffic. When A it's ready, update web server files, obviously unloading all ISAPI applications first. When I'm done start it again 2) Drainstop SERVER B. A receives all new connections with its updated files. Update servers files in B. Start it again. So, my questions: a) Is it correct the way I'm supposed to handle replication? b) Is there any application to help me automate this tasks? What about Microsoft Application Center? c) Do you have any other ideas to implement this? Maybe having a distributed/replicated file system? Thanks a lot! Tag: IIS install problems Tag: 370398

    - IIS6 not logging Authenticated Usernames Hi, A part of our website is password protected. People need to create accounts in order to gain access to the secured website. The username is email. After the user logs in a session cookie is created. On each secured page a check is made for session cookie. If this session cookie exists then a user is allowed to view secured page, if not they are redirected to login page. In IIS 6, I checked â??extended propertiesâ?? of W3C Extension Log File Format and noticed that all the fields have been selected (including cs-username), but when I look at the log files I see this field showing dashes (-) meaning IIS 6 is not login usernames. Can someone tell me what could be the problem here and how to fix it? Thanks, Joe Tag: IIS install problems Tag: 370397

    - Port blocking senario I have a web server(webcam server) running on my home network. I would like to be able to view webcam from at work. My service provider blocks port 80 inbound. The company I work for has ONLY port 80 open. Is there some solution to this problem? Is there some webhosting or redirection solution for this problem? I know I can get the ISP business service which has port 80 open but that would cost $30 a month more. Tag: IIS install problems Tag: 370396

Hi,

I'm running XPPRO & removed SP2 to allow easy installation of IIS 5.1

The first time I did this (before SP2 was installed) I had no problems. It
installed easily.

This time it keeps asking me to:

'Ensure the disk labelled XP service pack 1 CD is in the drive or provided
at the location specified...'

I can't seem to find the files it's asking of me. I tried to skip the files
but when I got to 25, I thought otherwise. Furthermore, it doesn't let you
quit. You have to pull the plug or just keep hitting cancel indefinitely.
scary.

How can I install IIS. Should it be this difficult?

Hope someone can shed some light

Thanks in advance

Simple solution: Put the Services Pack 1 CD in the drive.

Less simple: Download the SP1 installation file, expand it and point
your install there when it asks.
