    - IIS PERL CGI and filepath I just set up IIS 5.1 on XP PRO to handle PHP and CGI (perl) scripts. both of them seem to be working fine but I have a problem defining the file path when using cgi scripts. I have no problem finding perl at all. problem is that most cgi scripts are set up for unix with the file path having all forward slashes and usually start with: /user/cgi-bin/myscript/myscript.cgi. What would be the path in terms IIS and Perl can understand? Let's assume I set up a useraccount named pete, set up a folder on C:\ pete which is his home directory. Pete's site can be found at: http://somesite/pete and his cgi-bin is located in the pete folder which via web would look like this: http://somesite/pete/cgi-bin . I can find .htm and other files there but have problems defining the path so perl will know where the cgi files are. Any suggestions are welcome.

    - Long Form submitted issues CGI Timeout Having trouble with long forms in IIS6 (and IIS5). I just tested IIS6 by creating a static HTML page with a large form (196 fields). Here is the code: <HTML> <HEAD> </HEAD> <BODY> FORM TEST<BR><BR> <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="formtest.html"> <INPUT TYPE="submit"><BR><BR> <INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Field_0">    .... <INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Field_196">    </FORM> </BODY> </HTML> Saved this on our IIS6 server as formtest.html and opened the page. When I submitted it I got a CGI Timeout. If I cut back the fields to say 190, it works (as long as I keep the fields empty. if I enter enough lines of text, it CGI Timeouts as well). IIS5 has the same issue, but it can handle 379 empty fields (submits immediately) but not 380 empty fields (CGI Timeout after 5 minutes) Need some help because many of our forms are longer than this.

    - 401 when authenticating Hi, We have a site that is using Windows Authentication on a machine called server1.domain.com. When accessing this site using IE6 from the server everything works. This site is also registered in the DNS as server2.domain.com pointing to the same IP address. nslookup gives us the correct information. When we try to access the site using server2.domain.com we are prompted for username and password and we can't get around it, even if we enter correct credentials and/or add it to trusted zones. This is an intranet environment with no proxys. What goes wrong here? Any help is highly appreciated! Thanks, Manso Tag: making changes to the metabase Tag: 374065

    - Web site error Can anyone help with a problem that i have please. I write and design web sites and use a reseller account for those web sites. I am now testing a VPS server using iis 6, i have no idea what version off iis is on the reseller acount, but all pages worked fine. My web site generates invoices and emails the client the invoice, in this email is a link to click to make an online payment, similar to http://www.mysite.co.uk/mp.asp?o=1234&b=y, if the link is clicked the page displayed is the sites index page, if i then copy and paste the above url into the browser the correct page displays. In an attempt to find the problem i created a new folder called pay and then placed the asp page in that folder and renamed it mp.asp to index.asp, then retyped the lick above to http://www.mysite.co.uk/pay/index.asp?o=1234&b=y, i found that when i clicked the link the address bar showed http://www.mysite.co.uk/index.asp with the query string missing. Finally i have noticed that if i do not close the browser down and then go back to my email client and then click the link the correct page opens up in a new window, but this only works if i dont close the first window. Can anyone help here please? TIA Paul Tag: making changes to the metabase Tag: 374056

    - Installing to the GAC I have a strong named assembly. It installs fine on my XP Pro Machine via the .net configuration tool. When I use the same tool to install it on a W2003 machine it says it isn't strongly named. As I don't have vs.net. Ihave been compliling my vb file as a module and then using al.exe to sign it with a strong name. It seems to work on my machine. When I copy the dll to the 2003 machine it doesn't. Does it need any additional files than the dll. Also the W2003 machine is .net v2 whereas my machine is .net v1. The 2003 machine is a brand new installation of 2003, which I don't know much about other than it is 'locked down'. Could there be some kind of permissions issue? Any ideas? Regards, Chris.

    - 3 servers - 2 hanging HELP! I'll start out by saying I am BSA / Web developer being thrown into the deep end of trying to figure out why our application is all of a sudden hanging. We have three web servers and one database server dedicated to one ASP vended application. Two of the web servers were part of the original installation by the vendor. The application is used throughout the year, but most heavily from September to February. Because of additional users, we built a 3rd machine just to be safe and put it in the farm a couple months ago. Everything seemed to be fine until a couple weeks ago when usuage started to pick up. Two of the web servers now hang over time (usually every few hours), never usually at the same time, which is resolved by rebooting the server until it then happens the next time. If you view the performance monitor, the current connections just starts flying off the charts but if you look at the database sessions, we may only have a dozen or so at most. The new web server seems has not yet had an issue. For now, we have drained the two boxes from the load balancer, allowing the 3rd server to handle all the traffic. All three boxes are Windows 2000 SP 4. We have uninstalled and reinstalled the application. We had the vendor walk through their configuration. Their suggestion ....rebuild the original two boxes. Well, having to deal with Corporate IT and the paperwork necessary (and all the darn politics and approvals) to make this happen is not our first choice as we are in the midst of our most busy time. Is there ANYTHING anyone can think of that we should look at that might be different between the two boxes and the new box? There's got to be something but right now it feels like I'm chasing ghosts.... Thanks in advance for ANY suggestions.... Tag: making changes to the metabase Tag: 374026

    - 1 central IIS server for ASP.NET development I'd like to know if this dev set-up is possible with ASP.NET 2.0 projects. I want to create a central server called \\Central for all developers to keep their ASP.NET 2.0 web project source code online. Each developer will be assigned an IIS port. For example, Joe will have \\Central\WebProject_Joe as his source code directory. And http://central:1234 will be Joe's port. Each team member will have their own installed version of VS 2005 or Visual Web Developer Express Edition 2005 on their workstations. Will the developers be able to compile to \\Central and execute their web applications directly on \\Central instead of on localhost? Hope I'm explaining this clearly.

    - Quantifying Availability How can I prove uptime (or quantify downtime) on an ASP.NET 1.1 Web application (running on an IIS6 Windows Server Standard server)? What's going on here is that I'm considering the feasability of claiming or at least establishing some percentage of availability for our production Web site (99.9%, or 99.99%, or 99.999% "five nines). Of course I'll only advertise the fact if I can establish it objectively (and it's at least 3 nines :) For those interested, here's a link to an article that describes what each of those percentages actually means in terms of downtime: http://searchnetworking.techtarget.com/generic/0,295582,sid7_gci1064318,00.html So, in IIS6 or perhaps some other feature I could build into our ASP.NET Web application, is there some way to objectively and accurately measure downtime or uptime? I'm specifically interested in quantifying the availability of the ASP.NET Web application. Suggestions? Thoughts? Perspective? Thanks! Tag: making changes to the metabase Tag: 373974

I have setup some secure pages on the server so clients can upload data files to us. These data files are just text based files that we import into our collecton software. Currently I have the files uploading to a directory on the Windows server and nofity me via email that they have been uploaded. I then have to move them to a Samba partition on the Unix box. When the files are there I notify the person in the office that the files have been uploaded and she runs menu process in our collection software to load them into our system. I want to be able to have the files uploaded directly to the right directory on the Unix servers Samba partition. I can then modify my script to send email to the proper party. I have a login script that maps the Samba partition to all of our Windows clients, as well as the server. I have tried to modify my upload script to loads the files to the directory on the Samba partition using the UNC path. I have tried using the mapped drive letter. It always fails because of authentication errors. Tag: making changes to the metabase Tag: 373930

    - IIS + PHP + network share + POST Hello NG, i have an weird problem with IIS 6.0 + PHP 5.0.5. I have enabled "Anonymous access" and "Integrated Windows authentication", because i want to be able to log on the users from the LAN automatically. I should also be possible for other users=B4s to login in via a normal loginpage. Furthermore i have to read and write files from a networkshare. So i have created a new Domainuser with the required rights. This is the one which is used for "Anonymous access". The whole thing works almost fine except for one situation. When a page sends a form with POST i cannot access the network share. An example script: <html> <body> <form action=3D"test.php" method=3D"POST"> <input name=3D"Test" type=3D"Text"> <input name=3D"Submit" type=3D"Submit"> </form> <?php session_start(); if(!isset($_SESSION['user'])) { if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] =3D=3D "") { Header('WWW-authenticate: Basic realm=3D"Intranet"'); Header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized'); exit; } else { $_SESSION['user'] =3D substr(strstr($_SERVER['AUTH_USER'],'\\'),1); } } print "<br> User:".$_SESSION['user']."<br>"; print_r(scandir('\\\\xxx\dyyy\\dateien\\')); ?> </body> </html> -> When i call the script without sending the form it works well and scandir shows the contents of the directory. -> When i press the submit button, scandir isn=B4t able to access the directory and i get these errors: Warning: scandir() [function.scandir]: Unable to access \\srvXXX\YYY\dateien\ in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\artikel2\test.php on line 13 Warning: scandir(\\srvXXX\YYY\dateien\) [function.scandir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\artikel2\test.php on line 13 Warning: scandir() [function.scandir]: (errno 2): No such file or directory in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\artikel2\test.php on line 13 -> When i change the method=3D"POST" to method=3D"GET" it work=B4s well -> This problem occurs only with Internet Explorer not with Firefox Has anyone an idea what can cause this behaviour??

    - IIS Won't Start I have an XP Pro SP2 box (1.5 G of RAM, 2.8 ghz) that will not start IIS. It has not been able to start IIS for a long time, if ever, but this has not been my ASP.NET dev box until now. Now, I need localhost fired up for ASP.NET development. All dependent services are set to automatic start and are running. Attempting to start IIS results in "Not enough resources are available to complete this operation" (event ID 7023). I have Googled my way through the various possible solutions. I do NOT have the infamous HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Rpc\Internet key in the registry, so DCOM port restrictions aren't an issue. I have shut down all unnecessary programs, even briefly shut down my firewall (McAffee) and it makes no difference. I have tried renaming the IIS metabase. A new metabase is created, but still no joy. Event logs have been checked and various command line utilities invoked, but nothing sheds additional light on this. And yes, I uninstalled / reinstalled IIS. Any other ideas, shy of reinstalling the whole OS, which is just not a practical option? IIS runs fine on a nearly identical box on the same network, very similarly set up. But Visual Studio 2003 and VSS are a bit squirrelly and cranky if they're not pointed at localhost, and I have a large complex project to work on. ANY ideas, no matter how insane, will be greatly appreciated. --Bob Tag: making changes to the metabase Tag: 373909

    - Problemed ASP pages on IIS5 - win2000 I have an odd problem. I'm hosting a simple classic ASP site in a windows 2000 server with IIS 5. Just recently, for no apparent reason, the index.asp document will not load immeadiately (will time out after a minute or so). However, I put a another test.asp document in the same directory with the same permissions and I can access it (although with a pause) fine. Then if I reenter the index.asp document, it loads fine...! ?? i works fine for awhile, then the problem starts all over. In some cases, a web site restart will work, other times it won't. What would cause this to happen? I have disabled logging and that doesn't help. Ensured the web site is signed to a IP not virutal, no go. Any thoughts? -- jmac Tag: making changes to the metabase Tag: 373908

    - Redirect request to another machine How can I redirect a request to another machine? For example if my web server hosts www.mydomain.com and I want all request for www.mydomain.com/somethingelse to go to another machine running IIS. Can this be done?

    - Running Apache and IIS on the same box I am attempting to run IIS and Apache on a WIN2003 server with the ltest updates and can't see to get it to work. Do I need the default website, as well as the site I am trying to host? I have set the default site and the site I am trying to host to a custom port, 8350. The default browser points to the source files and the the site is pointing at the address I registered for it in dns, with a :8530. When I go to that addy, I get the conent that is running on apache. I have disabled socket pooling and enter the ip addy for the site (running on IIS) with the :8530,still it does not work. I have re-booted several times and cannot get this to function properly. I have googled and all I could find that could shed some light was this site http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/9400 I am very new to IIS and would greatly appreciate any pointers.

    - re-enter credentials when moving from HTTP to HTTPS Hi, I have a .NET web application protected by Windows Authentication. Therefore, when accessing the first page, users are prompted to enter their credentials (when not logged on the domain). Most of the pages are using HTTP but one folder is using HTTPS. When moving to this folder, users are prompted again to enter their credentials. Is this normal behaviour? Can this be avoided? Thanks, Tom Tag: making changes to the metabase Tag: 373901

I need to make a change to the metabase so that a particular website can
upload files that are larger than 200kb.

I was told:

Open your metabase.XML which is located in c:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv
find the line "AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed" and change it to 1073741824".
This is 1GB - of course you can enter another value to suite your needs.

So I stopped the WWW Publishing Service, made the change, went to save
but was told I couldn't. Whats going on? Is this not the correct way to
do what I want? Is there a better way to do this?

Cheers,

Steve

Try checking Enable Direct Metabase Edit in order to modify the metabase.
Right click on the server name in the IIS MMC, choose Properties, you
should see this option. Check it, and restart IIS and see if you can
modify the metabase now.
