IIS 6.0 locking up
I have an IIS 6.0 on W2K3 server sitting in one of our DMZs. All of the
patches should be up-to-date. Starting last Thursday, users complained of no
response from the application. From the web it appeared as though the site
was down. Looking from the Event Viewer and the Admin Consoles, everything
was running normally without any errors. I ended up issuing an 'IISRESET'
command to get the site back up. Less than an hour later, it occurred again.
This time, I rebooted the server. On Friday, it happened in the
morning-reboot. And then it happened again late afternoon and I used
'IISRESET'. Nothing again until Saturday afternoon and I used 'IISRESET'.
Nothing on Sunday and so far today nothing has occurred. It has me rather
concerned as this is a new site for us replacing some older software. It is
pretty important we keep access up 24x7 without unexplained downtimes. I am
not familiar enough with IIS and cannot seem to find what is actually
causing the web server to hang. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what it
could be or where to even begin? Thanks! Tag: sptimer.mem Tag: 399881
Enable ASP within IIS 5.0
Please note, I'm not a coder. Nor am I a web server admin. However both
responsibilities have fallen on my shoulders and I have to 'figure this out'.
Situation:
-- Windows 2000 Server SP4, IIS 5.0
-- Created a website with Dreamweaver.
-- The website has a form that is to be submitted via email.
http://www.tapastre.com/eventreservations.asp
-- Dreamweaver doesn't have built-in functionality like FrontPage which
'magically' makes that work. Instead, I have to use a 3rd party application
to process the form.
-- The form requires the web server to process asp pages.
-- HOW DO I MAKE THE WEB SERVER 'ACKNOWLEDGE' ASP?!?!
After hitting the Submit button I get an 'error' page - nothing specific,
nothing in logged in Event Viewer on either the client or the server side.
Just a plain white page that says "Errors found:". The 3rd party software
company is telling me to contact the website hosting company to find out if
they support asp. But I AM the 'website hosting company' and I can't figure
out how to 'enable' it!!
Oddly enough, the page IS .asp and it comes up.... so does that mean the web
server CAN 'read' .asp and it really is a config problem w/ the 3rd party
software?!
Any suggestions out there!? Is this something super simple, like putting a
check mark someplace?! I'm sorry if this is a novice question and you're all
rolling your eyes but I'm at a loss & would love a push in the right
direction.
Oh, and no. Going back to FrontPage is not an option. ;)
Thanks in advance!!!! Tag: sptimer.mem Tag: 399880
Username/Password problems with IIS 5.1
Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have DNS pointing to my local machine as "home.coleman.cc", and when I try to
open the site using the new Expressions Web (frontpage) I get a prompt for a username/password. I NEVER SET
ONE!! I have tried using the windows user/pass but to no avail. It keeps coming up "home.coleman.cc/user" and
the password section blank. Nothing seems to work. How do I get rid of this, or set one that will work? I HAVE
finally managed to be able to open site using http://localhost, but that will not help me if I need to edit site
from a remote machine.
I am running IIS 5.1 on a WindowsXP SP2 machine.

NEWBIE - setting up IIS (remoting wsdl)
Hi
I'm new to IIS so ...
I have 2 machines, one of which I've set up as a remoting source. If I
go into IE on computer1 and type in the address
http://computer1/MyRemotingSource/Portal.Rem?wsdl
I get the response I would expect.
If I go onto computer2 and type the same, I get no response. It looks
like it is probably a permissions thing, but I don't really know where I
should be looking to set this up.
Any pointers
Thx

IIS 6 on Windows XP SP2
This may be a dumb questions, but I can't find what to download to
install II6 on a XP2 machine.
This seems to be possible judging by the posts found here, but I
searched the MS download site and www.iis.net and find management
consoles and ressource packs but no source to install IIS 6.0 itself.

What would cause trace route to fail at the first hop ?
Hi,
I had a problem with a URL at the weekend.
www.correctdomain.com did not resolve to IP address.
I tried trace route from several sources (online sites) and they seem to
fall a the first hurdle (i.e no first hop).
The DNS A record was setup to correct IP (has been for a year)
I amended the URL to FWD to IP but this cause a problem with session cookies
with my app security.
So i am now using web forwarding to new URL which works.
What would cause trace route to fail at the first hop ?
Im assuming my IIS setup cannot infulence this so early on in a trace ?
Other domains worked fine from same online tools.
Thanks for your time

Download known extensions
Hi,
How to configure IIS 6 to allow to the users to download files with known
extensions.
I set up a website within IIS, where I store uploaded files.
My problem is when a user selects a file like blabla.mp3 I would like to get
the standard popup window asking to user if she wants to save or run the
file.
Right now, if it's a mp3 file, it starts with the associated program. Same
thing with a pdf file, it opens the file within the acrobat reader.
Any help ?

The page cannot be displayed
I am running Windows 2000 Server. I inherited this computer.
I had Apache installed, and it would not let me use ASP tags such as <
% and %>. I took Apache off, for a number of reasons. Now I still
can't run a simple "Hello World" page in INETPUB or WWWROOT of my
computer. I get "The page cannot be displayed". I am going to guess
that Apache did something to my IIS or that I need to reinstall it. I
have restarted it through administrative tools/services, and shut down/
restarted, but to no avail. Help!

Setting Expires header on IIS 7
I'm trying to set an Expires header through the IIS 7 UI in Vista. The
documentation talks about the HTTP Response Headers in Features View,
but I see no such feature on any of my sites.
I tried
appcmd list config "cozitest"
where "cozitest" is the name of my website. It fell over on the
"extension" attribute in the <compiler> entry in my web.config:
<!-- The following is to enable tracing. See
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b0ectfxd.aspx -->
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true">
<listeners>
<add name="WebPageTraceListener"
type="System.Web.WebPageTraceListener, System.Web, Version=2.0.3600.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
<!-- The following is to enable tracing. See
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b0ectfxd.aspx -->
<system.codedom>
<compilers>
<compiler language="c#;cs;csharp" extension=".cs" compilerOptions="/

Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"/
>
</compilers>
</system.codedom>
Commenting it out made appcmd happy, but it didn't make any difference
to the UI.
I then tried
appcmd set config "cozitest/images" /section:staticContent /
clientCache.cacheControlMode:UseExpires /clientCache.httpExpires:"Fri,
28 Jul 2008 15:30:00 UTC"
but I got
ERROR ( message:Can not set attribute "cacheControlMode" to value
"UseExpires"..
Reason: This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This
happens when the section is locked at a parent level. Locking is
either by default (overrideModeDefault="Deny"), or set explicitly by a
location tag with overrideMode="Deny" or the legacy
allowOverride="false".
. )
Trying
appcmd list config | grep -i override
yields nothing.
At which point I'm going home for the night.

Mind stumping web traffic issue...
Evening All,
I'll give the Cliff Notes version just to see if anyone has seen
something similar, and if not I'll post more detail about our full
configuration, etc. and we can dig into it deeper.
We have a handful of web servers behind a load balancer (NetScaler).
During our busy times (morning and midday) we are having this "event"
where our mainframe is complaining about getting to many requests at
once from the web servers. Now the mainframe complaining isn't the
issue, it's actually doing what it's supposed to be doing.
The question is why the uneven load of traffic from the web servers.
If you take a look at the IIS logs, and graph out the records per
second, you'll see steady traffic, then a drop to almost nothing (like
the web servers are being starved of traffic), and then a rebound
spike, and everything returns to that normal baseline.
We know it's not additional traffic because the volume of the drop is
equal to the volume of the spike.
It's like the chicken or the egg...we're trying to use the IIS logs to
help us figure out if the Load Balancer is holding back traffic, or if
the mainframe is not responding to traffic.
So I guess my question may be more about IIS logging and how it
works...what components of the log record are time stamped as the http
process starts, and what parts are as the record finished?
Thoughts?
Sorry about the babbling!
Thanks,

Need help: IIS7 and classic ASP with VB6 COM objects, constantly fails on "server.createobject"
I am trying to setup one of our old webapps my Vista machine in order to
port the old stuff to C#/ASP.NET
To do this, I need to get the old classic ASP pages, which calls a lot of
VB6 written COM objects to work.
I have registred all the DLL files (The VB COM objects) in "Component
Services" and got classic ASP to work with IIS7.
This project is a mixed C#/ASP.NET and VB/Classic ASP.
All ASP.NET pages work just fine, and classic ASP also works fine until I
try to create a VB6 COM object using "server.createobject" inside the
classic ASP code.
I get the following error (I translated the swedish error text to english,
so it might be diffrent on english systems):
---
Serverobject error: 'ASP 0178 : 80070005'
Error on Server.CreateObject Access
/interfaceindex.asp line 7
The call to Server.CreateObject failed when the permission was checked, no
permission granted on this object"
---
I have checked that the NTFS permissions for the VB6 DLL files is correct
for the "IUSR" and "NETWORK SERVICE" groups. I have also tried to add "IUSR"
and "NETWORK SERVICE" to "Component Services" for the entire machine.
Where in Vista can I fix this permission problem? I'm getting crazy here,
please help me someone..

what happens to requests inside apppool when apppool crashes?
hi,
i have the following question: let us assume that my application pool in iis
6.0 has crashed due to i.e. faulty isapi filter. what happens to all the
requests already "handled" inside this apppool, but not "re-delivered" to
http.sys? will http.sys hands-over these un-answered requests to the recycled
apppool? or will these requests "die"? if they die, what error message is
sent back to the clients - 503 / service unavailable?

Hosts File resolution
I have recently configured a Win Server 2003 box as a development web server
on my small home based LAN behind an ADSL modem/router/firewall. All boxes on
my LAN have fixed internal IP addresses. Under IIS 6 I have created 4 web
sites. All share the same internal IP number. My router is configured to
route all external traffic coming in to my public IP address to my web
server. All my public web site names will resolve to the same external IP
address. Initially, I do not want to set up my own DNS server. I want to use
the Hosts file on my XP Pro to resolve the web site requested by my browser
IE 7. Firstly, I configured Hosts to resolve the first web site with an entry
[192.168.10.2 example.co.uk] and this works fine if I type in
example.co.uk as the url. But when I try [192.168.10.2 www.example.co.uk]
this does not work. Neither does it work if I substitute the external
address. As I understand from the various explanations on this topic, my
browser will try to resolve using Hosts before going off to find a DNS
server. Have I misunderstood? I want to type in www.example.co.uk and let
Hosts resolve to my web server without going out to DNS. I do intend to set
up my own DNS but I want to flog Hosts a bit first! Tag: sptimer.mem Tag: 399790
MIME MAPS
Our site is hosted on IIS 6, by a popular web hoster. Recently I asked them
to apply MIME MAPS as follows:
cod application/vnd.rim.cod
jad text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor
They applied these maps and indeed files with a "jad" extension are now
received with the desired content type. However, files with the "cod"
extension are arriving as "image/cis-cod". This seems to be the IIS default.
For some reason the map applied for our site is not overriding the default
IIS setting.
Ideas anyone?

Application Pool Limits
Hi,
I have a web server that hosts more than 200 websites and has about 200
Applications under Default Application Pool.
Since last few weeks I have noticed that the Default Application Pool is not
terminating properly during Worker process recycling events (after certain
time).
I can see messages like:
"A process serving application pool 'DefaultAppPool' exceeded time limits
during shut down. The process id was '3236'." in the event log, right before
the IIS stops responding.
What might be causing the problem ?
* Over loaded DefaultAppPool ( about 200 Apps)
* Buggy Code in Applications (causing memory leaks ?? )

Setup SQL connection on IIS7
Hi All,
I am new to IIS and am trying to write a simple ASP.NET application.
My ADO.net code works fine in the development environment (outside IIS); but
I can't get it two work within IIS7. This is all on my local machine not a
production web server.
I tried removing the default connection, which is the localSQL connection
and create a new one attaching to my SQL Server on the network, but it fails
when launching the web page indicating that it can no longer find the
localSQl connection. It's odd to me because I never, in any place, wrote
code using any local connection.
Anyway, if someone would be so kind and steer me in the correct direction
for setting up a proper connection to my sql server on IIS7 I would
appreciate it.

Impact of SSL
Hello all,
I administer servers that run a busy web application. The IIS servers
are load balanced, currently Windows 2000 Advanced Server but upgrading
to 2003 very soon.
At the moment, only the login process is always secured. A fully SSL
secured session is an optional extra that the user can choose at logon.
We're looking to move to forcing SSL across the whole application and
removing the possibility of a plain HTTP session.
We need to be sure that we still have the capacity to cope after the
switchover. Does anyone know what kind of performance/capacity impact
this might have on our webservers? I guess it's probably hard to gague
without some kind of stress testing tool - can anyone recommend anything?
