    - unable to display and asp or asp.net pages - page not found Hi, I have a windows 2003 R2 server, with IIS installed. I have configured some web site, and to test some VD of the default web site. When I try to access a asp or aspx page from a browser, i get page not found. however if i try to access a HTML page then it displays. I have checked all the usual setting, and all seems fine (read,execute etc), and the asp.net tab is in the properties dialog. Is there a defaul setting in 2003 that i need to set to enable ASP.net pages ? Thanks Tag: iis6 and multi sites Tag: 384573

    - Best Practice - php and asp.net app organisation on a single site Hi All, RE setting up a single IIS6 server (Win2k3) to handle a combination of php and asp.net (.net 2.0) web apps linked from the site's static home page. What would be the best way of organising this, assuming I'd rather avoid running each application on a different port (ie. same IP), and that there is relatively light load on the server. Should I (for example), *1. use a single website Then, after ensuring that both .php and .aspx are listed as isapi application extensions in the Application Configuration page for the website (this assumes php is already installed as isapi); *2. create a new virtual directory for each web app under my single website (so I could end up with several virtual directories, one for each app). *3. Make the following settings in each Virtual Directory's properties page: a. On the Virtual Directory tab; - check the 'Read' checkbox (minimum requirement) - set Execute Permissions to 'Scripts only' - Leave the 'Application Name' as Default Application This means I can't set the isapi extensions for the virt. dir since the 'Configuration...' button is disabled. b. On the Documents tab; - Enable the default content page - Add the name of the web app's default page; eg. myphpapp.php eg. myaspxapp.aspx Thanks for any comments or elaboration you might have about best practice for configuring IIS for this kind of web app server.

    - Unrecognized "Page not found" error I installed DotNetNuke on IIS6 (Server 2003 Standard) so I could run a DNN-based In-Out Board on our company intranet. Most of the time, the In-Out Board works beautifully for our 27 users, but occasionally a user who tries to visit the page is greeted with the following error message: Oops. Your requested page was not found. please try again The error will persist for that user for minutes or hours, but other users will continue to have no trouble with the page. No other message appears; no 404 error, nothing, and the URL in the address bar doesn't reflect any particular page; it simply shows the normal URL for the page; namely, http://inout.mydomain.com/dnn. I'd never seen that type of Page Not Found error and assumed it was a DNN error message, but when I posted this question to the DNN forum, I was told that in fact that is not a DNN error message. I've searched for the text "Oops." inside every file on that IIS server's hard drive in the hopes I could discover the source of the message and possibly get some insight in how to fix it, but came up empty-handed. I even speculated that my internal DNS entry might sometimes be failing to resolve properly, resulting in the DNS request being forwarded to external name servers. But nslookups, pings, and ipconfig /flushdns troubleshooting all seemed to confirm that DNS was functioning properly, and the IIS server responded to pings by IP and DNS name. I'm just about out of ideas. Is there some way to definitively track down the source of this mysterious "Page Not Found" error? Thanks in advance, BJ Tag: iis6 and multi sites Tag: 384560

    - IIS Virtual Directories Based on User Name? I am attempting to convert an Apache server to IIS, feature-by-feature. The last thing I have to do is convert the Apache Virtual Hosting by name (a user has their website within their home directory and apache figures it out according to parts of the domain name). http://user-one.domain.com/ = /home/user-one/public_html/ http://another-1.domain.com/ = /home/another-1/public_html/ http://www.domain.com/ = /home/www/public_html/ This is enabled with the mod_vhost_alias module outlined at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/mass.html#simple How can I do that in IIS? Or in a .NET 2.0 HTTPModule? I don't want to just redirect. Thanks. Tag: iis6 and multi sites Tag: 384547

    - Problem with IIS 6.0, Coldfusion MX 7.0.1 and Perl Hi, I have somewhat of a wierd problem that I am unable to figure out. We are running a coldfusion application server which serves files with the extension ".cfm" We are also using a custom built perl program which does authentication on some of our pages and read/writes a cookie. Following is an example of a URL that would redirect the user to the perl script login screen, authenticate and send the user back to the requested page specified in the URL https://127.0.0.1/cgi/bluestem/lb_login.pl/cf/Redirect.cfm?RedirectPath=/cf/index.cfm This URL will redirect the user to the path /cf/index.cfm after the authentication by the perl program. My problem is that the above URL used to work fine with Coldfusion 6.1 and IIS 5.0 and it also worked fine with Coldfusion 7.0.1 and IIS 5.0 but when I try doing this with IIS 6.0, it throws a missing template error. I did some investigation and found out that it is reading the "redirect.cfm" in the URL and instead of going to the perl script, it is trying to find that cfm page which is not there on that path. If I try using this URL with an htm file, like for example: https://127.0.0.1/cgi/bluestem/lb_login.pl/cf/Redirect.htm?RedirectPath=/cf/index.cfm or even https://127.0.0.1/cgi/bluestem/lb_login.pl/cf/ things work fine. The only problem seems to be when the .pl and the .cfm extensions are in the URL and then it doesnt work. Any ideas? Tag: iis6 and multi sites Tag: 384536

    - IIS 6 modifying DLL or Script Map Help I've been stuck on this issue for the past week now and it's really driving me crazy. I need to know how to programmatically add/delete extensions in web directory when I create the web. What I mean is that if you open the IIS manager, then right click on the default web site, go down to properties and open that up. Then click on the home directory tab, and then hit the configuration button. There is a list of extensions there that I need to manipulate when I make the web site. I've found tons of examples and code, but I don't know which one to use. Also I'm doing this all in vbscript. If you could provide me a sample, or show me to a little code snippit or something I would be VERY relieved. Thanks a ton in advance. Tag: iis6 and multi sites Tag: 384531

    - DLLHost hangs Hi, We recently upgraded from DLLs written in Delphi 5 (written to be implemented in MTS) to DLLs written in Delphi 2005 (als MTS). Almost no code-change in the DLL's. The DLL's belong to a COM+ - application. On our test-server (W2K Server) everything runs fine. On our acceptation-server (also W2K), DLLHost hangs when using the newer DLL's. When requesting a webpage which uses one of the DLLs (using server.createobject), IE never returns (so no error-message or timeout or anything giving a clue what is (not) happening). The same behaviour occurs when using an almost empty DLL (just implemented the OnActivate method). The OnActivate method should write a little file to disc (access-rights are ok, because it runs fine on the test-server and hangs on the acceptation-server). The roles etc on the test-server are the same as on the acceptation-server, so are all other settings (as far as I can see). No lines are added to the IIS-log (except for the GET) nor to the event-log. Does anybody know how to debug the problem? Does IIS or COM+ have a way to log more information? Thanks in advance, Dethmer Kupers Tag: iis6 and multi sites Tag: 384519

    - IIS 5 Web Server Point to Virtual Directory On IIS 6 I have kind of a strange situation here. Our public website is running on a IIS 5 server. We have several ASP search pages on this website. I am slowly, as time permits, re-writting these in ASP.NET and placing them on our new web server which is running IIS 6. On the website (on the IIS 5 server) I need to create a link that points to the IIS 6 server. I have created a Virtual Directory and tried pointing it to the shared folder, but all this does is bring back the HTML portion of the page, it doesn't seem to run the application. Also I have tried setting the virtual directory to redirect to this other web server, but this doesn't seem to work either. It seems like the problem is that the IIS 5 box being my "Publicly Accessible" server, it doesn't know that the IIS 6 box exists. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this issue? The obvious would be to go ahead and move the web server to the IIS 6 box but I really don't want to do that. I wanted to migrate the site as I rewrote it in ASP.NET. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mark Tag: iis6 and multi sites Tag: 384499

    - Web Service throws 401 error when friendly server name is used. Hi there, We just migrated our Windows2000/IIS5 web servers to brand new Windows2003/IIS6 servers; all web applications work like a charm except the ones that call web services. The web services are published on the same server and the security is exactly the same as the old server, with the exception of the ASPNET account replaced for the NETWORK SERVICE account... The problem is, the applications that call the web service throw Error 401 (Unauthorized) if the URL used to access the webservice uses the friendly name of the server... If we change that URL for the actual machine name, the web service works as expected... So, http://friendlyname/webservices/myservice.asmx doesn't work... and http://machinename/webservices/myservice.asmx works! Why is this? Any clues? Thanks in advance! - Allan R.

    - SSL problems We seem to have run into a problem with our SSL scheme. We have multiple web sites (www.site1.com, www.site2.com, www.site3.com) and need to run SSL pages on each site (for credit card purposes). The problem is you can't set up multiple sites in IIS with the same SSL port, it seems. What we did was create a port for each site (https://www.site1.com:4433, https://www.site2.com:4434, https://www.site3.com:4435 ) and this seemed to work. We just found out that if you have an ISA Proxy server, you will get a 502 error. We are having connection issuse using secure connection if we hit a site with an ISA Proxy server. Not sure if other proxies would have this problem. I had a friend at Microsoft try to access our secure pages and he got a 502 error. I had another friend try it and he got the same error. Both had an ISA Proxy server. When my other friend went around the Proxy server, it worked fine. I got the following from googling: *************************************************************************************************************************** "Error 502 returned by a HTTP proxy (Proxy Error (The specified Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) port is not allowed. ISA Server is not configured to allow SSL requests from this port. Most Web browsers use port 443 for SSL requests.))." This is caused by the default behavior of Microsoft ISA server, which only allows requests to ports 443 and 563 using its HTTP Connect method. (Primary use of HTTP Connect is to allow SSL connections to HTTPS servers). The Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q283284 addresses this issue. To access FTP sites through ISA server's HTTP proxy, access to all ports must be allowed. FTP's control connection port is 21 by default, but data connections can use virtually any port, because it is assigned by the FTP server. (Although allowing port 21 and ports >1024 should be enough, there might be exceptions.) To allow connections to all ports through the HTTP proxy, following VB script must be run on the ISA server: set isa=CreateObject("FPC.Root") set arraypolicy=isa.Arrays.GetContainingArray.ArrayPolicy set tprange=arraypolicy.WebProxy.TunnelPortRanges set tmp=tprange.AddRange("FTP", 1, 65535) tprange.Save *************************************************************************************************************************** We are also using SiteUpTime.com to test our pages, periodically. Everything was fine until Sunday. Since then it can't see the pages. I assume something changed on their end but can't be sure until we hear back from them. The problem is we need to solve the issue if this is going a problem with some of our clients or potential clients. The only other way we can see to solve this problem would be to put a different server in for each web site. This would be pretty expensive and would like to get around that if possible. I don't think we can ask our potential clients to change their Proxy Servers to allow our pages in. Any other ways around this? Thanks, Tom Tag: iis6 and multi sites Tag: 384491

This is the second time this has happened, after the first (last week) we reinstalled IIS and App Center. Now it is broken again. Does anyone have a clue what the root cause is?

    - IIS6 - SQL2000 cluster - RPC issues Everyone, We have a Windows 2003 IIS 6 deployment of (3) servers load balanced via a Cisco Content Switch 11503 which we also use the SSL module on the CSS to take this load off the servers as well. We have a DMZ defined for our WWW servers as well as a DMZ defined for our SQL servers as well. Each of these are separate interfaces off our PIX. The question is handling RPC calls between the www servers and the SQL servers. As I understand by default RPC allocates between ports 1024-5000 and our network engineering staff does not like having that many ports open between the (2) segments of the network. So, we have RPC calls initiating both ways (from www to sql and from sql to www) and they want the best way to secure this and limit the ports. I have read numerous MS articles on registry hacks, allocating ports but I cannot run across anything that everyone is comfortable with. Does anyone have any best practices or ideas they have come up with? I have read the article on configuring RPC to use certain ports and how to help sercure those ports via IPSec and feel this could be deployed. Has anyone deployed RPC via HTTP? Thanks for any help on this. -WE Tag: iis6 and multi sites Tag: 384486

    - Server 2003 X64 + ASP.NET+ .NET 2.0 = no go? Hi, I have a new development server that i put together on a Windows 2003 64 bit machine. I also have SQL Server 2005 and Developers Studio 2005 and 2003 installed on this machine. I have executed the "Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1" command, as per the instructions when installing Developers Studio. I am unable to server ASPX pages from this machine. I started with a "500 - Internal Server Error" but am now getting a "%1 is not a valid Win32 application. " Under Application Configuration, ASPX is pointed to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll. I have tried Googling this but haven't found anything. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    - IIS on Win2003 and ASP .Net 2.0 We have a production server (Win2k SP1) running both .Net 2.0 and 1.1 Apps. There are 3 application pools on the server. When we add a new Virtual Directory and change the ASP .Net version to 2.0 in the default app pool, the applications in the other application pools are restarted. This is similar to the report found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.inetserver.iis&mid=7cec03e3-9b28-409b-869d-ba4ab61cc261&sloc=en-us But in our case, we didn't have to restart IIS although all our applications in other applications pools got restarted. Couldn't find a solution to the problem in that thread. So wondering if anyone found a workaround for this? Thanks, --Tom Tag: iis6 and multi sites Tag: 384483

    - Intranet publishing security Hi all, I have a folder for the company Intranet on the a Windows 2003 server. A certain group of users have full access to this folder to perform updates. They are then supposed to be able to publish this to another folder on the server, this is where users access the Intranet. Users with Admin rights can publish no problems at all. Users with no Admin rights cannot publish to the directory even if I add them into the security list and grant full rights. Where should I set rights for this? In IIS version 6? or using the NTFS perms? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks. Tag: iis6 and multi sites Tag: 384474

    - IIS on XP Pro using Telenet.be Hi, I'm trying to set up a Video Surveillance system on an XP Pro machine connected to my motorola surfboard sb5101 cable modem through Telenet.be in Belgium. It can be set to use any port, but uses port 80 as default for it's web browser interface. However, I can't seem to get into it over the internet. I have therefore tried setting the same machine up with IIS to see whether THAT works, but it does not. When trying to load the page, by typing http://my.ip.addr/ or even http://my.ip.addr:80/ it does not find the server, nor can i telnet to the server on that port. I CAN use remote desktop to the same IP address. I have no firewall, or any other network switch/hub/router connected. So my question is whether some ISP's actually BLOCK the use of web servers or ports, and whether there is a port i can use instead, although I have tried several different ports and none seem to work. Or is there a firewall on the motorola surfboard or anywhere else on the Telenet service? Any help would be much appreciated. Tag: iis6 and multi sites Tag: 384456

    - WinXP IIS under heavy load Hi, I am stress-testing a file-transfer application on WinXP Pro IIS with a 1 Mbps connection. So far it seems that other connections start failing already when there is a single active transfer requests. The failures include timeouts, 403's and "Connection with the server was terminated abnormally". When the connection capacity is maxed, the failures are (obviously) very common. My application supports two types of requests: status requests and file transfer requests. Status requests are always less than 1 kB (including response). They are also quick to process. The status requests must not fail, at least not frequently. File transfer requests may fail, and will be retried periodically for several hours if needed. Is this kind of priorization possible with IIS? I think the bandwidth throttling options in Server OS's would work, but that would require knowledge of the available connection speed which may vary due to other services on other servers.

    - Redirects Disappearing Hi all I have an .asp site (Win2003 Server, IIS6) that has three redirects ("a redirection to a URL"), opposed to "the Designated file". We have had an unknown process that has removed these redirects overnight. What kind of process could have caused it? Is this deemed a potential security hole so security tools remove them unless configured otherwise? Could IISLockdown be to blame? URLFilter? Tag: iis6 and multi sites Tag: 384454

    - Interesting problem for GURUs on IIS 5 I recently noticed problems on a w2k server sp4 + IIS 5 + sql server 2000 sp4 box. The problem is that DLLHOST.exe is almost always on 70-80-90 % of processor. Doing a research I found that the problem should be this: I use this approach with host headers to make web pages "cached". - One website in IIS 5 (www.domain.com, it accept also *.domain.com) - One include file in default document for this site (index.asp) that does this work: - Look for current host if exists in a table of sql server previously created, for example "red-cars.domain.com" - if exists, first look this host in a cache table that has 2 columns: HOST (varchar) -- HTML (ntext) and do a SELECT in this table and produce HTML this way: response.write(OUTPUTHTML) : response.end() - if not exists, I use server.execute(somepage) to process the page and at the end, I re-call the page through a xmlhttp object and write output in cache table. Because of recent problems on parser ASP, found that I should encounter problem with server.execute in some cases...but I don't know if response.write(bigtext) should also cause probs. Till now I hadn't because we had few host to process...now we have 200.000+. Any help much appreciated. Best regards. -- fabri Tag: iis6 and multi sites Tag: 384444

    - How does IIS6 handle web pages without a doctype specified? I took over support of a web site whose pages do not have a doctype specified (I haven't had time to correct this situation yet). When the web site was moved from an older WIndows server to a Windows 2003 server running IIS6, we started having browser timeout problems, and user login problems for AOL users (the pages use session variables to track user login). Could these problems be related to how IIS6 handles web pages with no doctype specification? What are the differences between how IIS5 and IIS6 would handle this situation? Thanks. -- Peggy A.

    - Compressing Javascript include files? I've enabled compression on the IIS 6 web server as described in this article: http://weblogs.asp.net/owscott/archive/2004/01/12/57916.aspx We make extensive use of Infragistics NetAdvantage controls which make heavy use of include Javascript files like this: <script type="text/javascript" src="/Hops/Infragistics/Scripts/ig_shared.js" ></script> 1) Can "js" include files like this be compressed? 2) Do you have to include "js" extension in the HcScriptFileExtensions section in the metafile? 3) Is it moot anywhere as I thought I read somewhere that include files like this are downloaded once and then cached Thanks, Rob.

    - InetPub/wwwroot..... changing in Registry I did a search for a while to find this and couldn't. Here is the question I have. I have IIS running on an XP PC. I have three websites I want to be able to use with IIS. I can go the long route and change the properties of the Default Web Site everytime I want to edit a different website and display it through IIS, but I was looking for a .reg command I could run instead. I was thinking I could have three .reg files on my desktop and I sould run which ever one I wanted to change where the Default Web Site was pointing. I thought I had figured out where the path for the Default Web Site was but it didn't seem to work when I changed it. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp] "PathWWWRoot"="C:Inetpub\wwwroot" I can successfully change the PathWWWRoot with a .reg file, but it doesn't do the trick. Does anyone know how to do this? I can't afford server 2003 in order to have the IIS Manager that can handle multiple sites, but I figure there is a way to do this. All I can think of is I am missing the location of the registry file that addresses this. Thanks in advance and I hope that makes sense. Mykk Tag: iis6 and multi sites Tag: 384423

    - Setting up an ASPX Site Hi, I have configured a new Website on IIS 6 on Windows Small Business Server 2003. ASP 2.0 is activated. Since Visual Studio 2005 wants FrontPage Extensions to be activated, I installed them. I always get the error 403 even when I try to access the site in the browser on the server with admin rights. The default page is default.aspx, which is in the list of default pages. As soon as I put a simple "index.htm" file in the root directory of the site, I can see the site even from the browser of my workstation in the LAN. Of course this is not a ASP site. I gues there is something wrong with the ASP 2.0 configuration. Which configuration issues need to be made here? Thanks for a hint. regards Patrick Tag: iis6 and multi sites Tag: 384420

Hi,

Im setting up a dedicated server initially to support a single site (i.e can
dump the aspx file in wwwroot). However the chances are I will need to add
several sites to this machine soon.

The machine (running IIS6) has a single IP at the moment.

What is the best way to setup the first site in order not to cause problems
later ?

- virtual website / directory ?
- host headers ?
- IP per site ?

What are the pros / cons of the above ?

Thanks for any information
Scott

The easiest is to set up a new virtual server for each site and assign the
appropriate host header for each on the same IP address. The only drawback is
that you will not be able to use SSL for the sites, as SSL requires one IP
address per certificate.

Hello,

I discuss your question in this article:

"Host Headers versus multiple IPs when hosting several websites"
http://www.gafvert.info/notes/HostHeadersVersusIP.htm

I don't consider "virtual directory" to be a website since it is a
directory(...).
