    - Can't Edit Word Docs, always "Currently in use" Running IIS 4 on an NT4, sp6a machine, whenever we try to edit Word docs ( rename, delete, etc... ) we get a FrontPage error that says something to the effect of "Can't delete/edit (filename), currently in use." HTML, .ASP, and even PowerPoint files never give us a problem. But for some strange reason the Word docs will not let us manage/edit/delete them from a remote client using FrontPage 2003. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ... Tag: The server was unable to add the virtual root access denied - found a fix Tag: 314253

    - CreateObject for MSHTML/DHTML Hi: As part of an ASP project to run under IIS under Win2K, I need to create a DLL version of our VB 6.0 program that happens to use the Triedit dhtmled.ocx control (because of problems in determining when printing has completed using MSHTML object). So I need to create the dhtmled object without actually placing a dhtmled.ocx control on a form, but I can't seem to come up with the right dimension/createobject/set statements. I'm looking for the DHTMLEdit equivalent of the following (which works for the MSHTML object)... Dim WithEvents webobject As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer Set webobject = CreateObject ("InternetExplorer.Application") I've tried ... Dim WithEvents dhtmlobject As DHTMLEdit Set dhtmlobject = CreateObject("DHTMLEdit") but I'm getting an error 429, ActiveX component can't create object, when VB tries to execute the Set line. In addition to the proper statements, what references and/or controls would I need to include in the VB project. Alternatively, if you have a "definitive" solution (versus a "workaround") to the problem of determining when printing is completed when using the MSHTML print command (webobject.ExecWB OLECMDID_PRINT, ...), that would be even better.

    - Anonymous access - Metabase.xml Hi , IIS 6.0 / Win 2003 Server [Ent] We are trying to add an alternative user account [similiar to IUSR_ComputerName but with slightly more privilidges] to the IIS Directory Security anonymous user. I have used VBS to change settings in MetaBase.xml already but I am enquiring if it is possible to change the Anonymous user by this method ? What about the password - ISUR_ComputerName seems to have one when viewed in the xml file but is this really a password , can we add our user and a blank password.

    - OnIdle in isapi extension The isapi extension I maintain has a memory leak. I found an article about having to call OnIdle explicitly in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 105286, HOWTO: Clean Up Temporary MFC Object in _USRDLL DLLs. I am calling it explicitly without seeing any reduction in memory usage. Is there a best place in which to call this? Currently I call it at the beginning of the entry point. I am confused as to what value to put in lCount, I've tried both 0 and 1 neither making a difference in memory usage. Any help on this is appreciated.

    - Caching of some sort??? Just recently we have encountered a weird problem with our webserver...running IIS 5 and W2000 SP4 When testing an ASP page, if you get an error of some sort in your browser, when you go into the code and fix the problem, save the changes, when you refresh the page, the error stays there, even though the code is correct. The problem is not fixed until you rename the page, and the open it in your browser to work fine?? Any suggestions, I believe this begin happening after SP4 install? is this just coincidence or did SP4 cause this? -Archi3 Tag: The server was unable to add the virtual root access denied - found a fix Tag: 314213

    - Site restarts? My web site is hosted on a 2k server (sp3), connecting through a dynamic DSL line. No-IP.com software updates the master DNS every 30 minutes. Every couple days, I have to go into the computer management snap-in, stop and restart the web site (not IIS), so people can see the site. Any reason why this would be? I haven't seen anything in the error logs about it, as IIS is running. The only change from default is to move the site files to a different partition for backup reasons. Any suggestions? I did a quick search on the MSKB and in this forum, and came up blank on this particular problem. TIA, and have a great Thanksgiving!

    - Span IIS to multiple volumes? Hello, I have recieved a new server which will be used as both an IIS server and a Windows Media server. In an effort to maximize the total volume size, and due to budgeting issues out of my control, I could not set the server up with RAID5 as I wanted to, taking the 5 physical drives and making them into a SYS volume and storage volume. (RAID5 does this, but also takes something like 20% of the total drive capacity to do so... we need every GB to be available for file storage.) My question is how to attach the 5 drives to my IIS server. I have already attached the 5 drives to my Media server, however I need to be able to link the media files via my IIS. An example of my setup as of current: C: = Windows 2003 server system files D: = CD Rom E: = IIS Home directory, and publish point for WMS F: = Publish point for WMS G: = Publish point for WMS H: = Publish point for WMS I: = Publish point for WMS Any ideas?

    - Adding multiple host headers through ADSI not working properly I was wondering if someone could help. I have a scenario where I am trying to set up multiple host headers on a web site using ADSI. Ex: I have a site called www.testsite.com to which I want to assign three host headers like (testsite.com, 123.testsite.com, and testsite). My script creates the site and sets several properties just fine. However, when I check the host headers, there is only one entry with all the three host headers I specified as a concatenated string and delimited with a comma. I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Max. Here is the code I use to setup the ServerBindings for the site. By the way, this is the same script from IISFaq.com by Chris Crowe: HostNames = Split("testsite.com,123.testsite.com,testsite", ",") IpAddress = 199.12.1.50 Port = 80 redim NewBindings (ubound(HostNames)) For HostNameINdex = 0 To UBound(HostNames) BindingString = IpAddress & ":" & PortNum & ":"&HostNames(HostNameIndex) NewBindings(HostNameINdex) = BindingString next 'Set the server bindings by passing it the NewBindings array.

    - IIS 6.0 Problem on Win Server 2K3 Greetings, I am having a very weird problem. Some how IIS 6.0 running on Win Server 2K3 standard thinks that the default anonymous user doesnt have access to the index.htm in the site directory. I checked the permissions on all dirs from the c:\ down to the file itself and they all say the user can read, i even tried with full permissions. Now this is the interesting part, when i changed the default user to the domain admin, it worked, which i can believe since the domain admin can do everything. Now i tried changing it to a domain account that doesnt have as much power, and its not authorized to view the page. Is there a hidden permission im not looking at or just what is happening?

    - multi-homedd domain logging I need to record Domain Names (example: www.myDomain.com, demo.myDomain.com, and test.myDomain.com) from a single IIS 5.0 Web Server instance in the single IIS logfile (for WebTrends reporting) . WebTrends has a KB article NETIQKB11235 that claims it is saved in the cs-host field in Microsoft IIS 5.0 log files, however I find that it is the servername (netbios) saved to that field. Is there a configuration option I am missing? Thanks. Bob in Atlanta. Tag: The server was unable to add the virtual root access denied - found a fix Tag: 314103

    - ISAPI filter for monitoring/saving http responses? Hi all, I'm looking for an ISAPI filter that can capture IIS responses so that I can either see them in real time or lets me save them out to files and see them later. If it's for IIS 6 it'd be even better. Thanks for any help. Jiho Tag: The server was unable to add the virtual root access denied - found a fix Tag: 314098

    - iis6 compatability with classic asp I have recently migrated some classic asp web sites from iis5 to iis6 and seem to be experiencing some memory problems, in particular sql server (which is running on the same machine) seems to be using exessive amounts of memory which eventually causes the box to fall over despite a more powerful machine and the same traffic levels. Is anyone aware of any incompatability issues between iis5 and iis6 and would using iis5 isolation mode help? I re-created all the web sites settings from scratch using the default options.

    - Web Setup Project - Default Web for Virtual Dir I have created a web setup project with VS.Net 2003. When I run the .msi it asks what virtual directory to install it to, but it doesn't ask which web. I have multiple webs running in IIS and I want to create the virtual directory in a web other than the default web. How do I specify the web that the virtual directory will be intalled in? Any help is greatly appreciated. -Dan Tag: The server was unable to add the virtual root access denied - found a fix Tag: 314095

    - Problems with .hta page. Error code 405 I have IIS 5.0 running on a Win2000 server. I have scripts that I want to run on the web page. It was suggested to me to create an .HTA page instead of .asp or .html to make them run. The scripts now run fine, but when the action is finished, I get the error: The page cannot be displayed The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because the page address is incorrect. HTTP 405 - Resource not allowed after completing a task associated with a button press, in this case a folder copy! I'm not very familiar with .hta pages, can someone help me with why I might be getting this error. Are .hta pages supposed to be used with newer version of IIS instead of 5.0 Thanks for any help in advance Gordon Cashmore Tag: The server was unable to add the virtual root access denied - found a fix Tag: 314091

    - Web service code does not refresh when deploying updates to a cluster We have a Windows 2000 active/passive cluster using .Net Framework 1.0. When code changes are deployed for a web service, the change does not take effect. It seems that the cache does not refresh. To get around this we were able to create a new directory and copy the new code files to that directory then change the IIS virtual directory to point to the new directory and "force" a refresh. Restarting IIS will work also. This is a successful work-around, but we would like to deploy remotely without having to log on to the cluster to change IIS configuration. Has anyone seen this issue? If so, were you able to come up with a solution? Tag: The server was unable to add the virtual root access denied - found a fix Tag: 314080

    - IIS 6.0 Search Problems I migrated an nt4, IIS4 server to a 2003, IIS6 box. The search "engine" has been broken ever since. I am unable to get anything other than the contents of the query.idq page. I use the nt4 search sample pages basically, adjusted for my server. I'm using search.html that takes the user input and feeds it to query.idq for the search and the results come back formatted from query.htx. This all worked flawlessly for years on the nt4 box, it ran itself, never had any problems. I know I have index server setup correctly. I have one catalog that points to the root of the web, the catalog itself is 177MB now. I would tune all of this between index server and the query.idq page, but I can't get a basic setup to work. If I submit a query through index serve's query form, it works no problem and returns more than enough, too many because the scope is so broad now. Everything else about this site is fine and healthy. It's the only site that needs search so I don't use it on other sites on this box. However, the search is just as broken on the development 2003 IIS6 box that mirrors this one. The other sites on this box are fine, although they don't use the search/index server stuff. IIS seems fine, no hitches or anything. I know other people have had this same problem, seemingly with no luck in finding a fix.

    - WebDAV security on IIS problems Hey All, I have been beating my head over this one for a long time. It has to do with setting up a WebDAV folder in IIS and setting permissions on that folder to two accounts - one with read access and the other with full. From all the documentation, this should be a simple task. WebDAV is supported by default on all IIS folders and virtual folders. Here is an article from Microsoft describing how easy it should be done: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;323470&Product=iis50 The article is pretty straight forward and I have followed it to the letter. I can get WebDAV to work, the problem lies in setting the security on the folder to restrict or allow access. Here is what I have tried and I am hoping there is someone out ther who has worked with this before. Here is the configuration: I have one Windows 2000 (SP4 and all latest patches) member server behind a firewall with IIS 5 installed. Let's call this server WEB1. I have a web site in IIS (with its own IP) whose directory contents are on a share on another computer in the same domain behind the same firewall. The server that hosts the source files for the web site (not running IIS) is a Windows 200 (SP4 and all latest patches) domain controller. Let's call this server FILE1. The current web site has been established for many years and has been working without a hitch the whole time. The client is interested in being able to upload files to a folder within the website (let's call the folder "webdav-upload"). They would like to have two separate accounts to access the contents of this folder. One account has Read Only access to that folder and the other has Full Access to that folder. I can get WebDAV access to that folder, the problem is that I cannot get authentication to work as I would like. Here is how I proceeded to setup this configuration: 1.) Within the website on WEB1, I created a Virtual Directory called "Webdav-Upload". This Virtual Directory point to a a share on FILE1. The Connect as box in the Virtual Directory's properties is using the IUSER_SHARE account (we have specified the password for this account and do not let the server manage the password although this should have no bearing on this). 2.) The Virtual Directory connects just fine with no Red X. I have enabled Directory Browsing, Read, Write and Excute permissions on the folder. 3.) I disabled annonymous access to the folder and then enabled Basic Authentication and specified the default logon domain. 4.) I then created 2 user accounts in the Domain called "WedDav-Read" and WebDav-Full". 5.) Gave both accounts the Log On Locally right to the Domain Controllers OU Group Policy and ran the SECEDIT refresh. 6.) On FILE1, the share that the Virtual Directory connects to has full control for the Everyone Group. 7.) On the folder underneath that share (one folder deep), I have set the NTFS permissions as follows: I disabled inheritance of permission and removed all inherited permissions. I then assigened the following permissions: Domain Admins Full Control WebDav-Full Full Control WebDav-Read Read, List Folder Contents, Read & Execute IUSR_SHARE Read 8.) I then reset these permissions on all child objects. 9.) Then from a remote location outside on the Internet, I used the My Network Places to create a new network place. I put in the full URL: http://FQDN/webdav-upload 10.) It then prompted me for permissions and kept prompting me and would fail. I could never connect. I tried the following change to the above configuration to try and get it working. 1.) I enabled Annonymous access on the virtual directory and removed basic authentication to have the NTFS permissions provide the security. - This would allow me to connect but gave me the permissions of the IUSER_SHARE as that was the account in the Connect As box in the Virtual Directory's properties. How else can I get this working? Has anyone successfully gotten this configuration to work? There is little to no troubleshooting documentation for Microsoft's IIS and WebDAV. Please help! Thanks! PS. Please reply to the posting address but remove the "remove-" from the email address.

For a while I noticed I was getting errors in my eventlog from IIS about
virtual directors in my ASP.NET projects in Visual Studio like:
The server was unable to add the virtual root
'/TotalCare.Enterprise.ZeroClient.RequestFacility' for the directory
'C:\Visual Studio Projects\TotalCare.Enterprise' due to the following error:
Access is denied.

In case anyone else gets this error it seemed to be that my C:\Visual Studio
Projects folder did NOT have a required security setting... The Everyone
group on my local system has to manually be added with full permissions to
get rid of this error. Not sure why everyone wasn't there in the first
place. IIS showed red stop signs but still allowed me to continue
developing. I ran into problems when using NUnitASP to Unit Test my work, it
requires access to some files I guess.

Anyways, hope this helps someone.

You didn't find a real fix -- you just turned off security settings on your
server to get things working.

Having the proper remote user identity in the server's "VS Developers" group
should be sufficient. It's in the VS.Net documentation on how to make
Remote Server installs work. This is trivial to do if the remote server and
client are in the same domain, but if they are not in a domain, you'll need
to start synchronizing accounts.

I wouldn't post URLs to your server if I were you, since it's wide-open to
hacking...
