Can't Run Classic ASP Pages Outside of WWWRoot

2013-05-16T20:56:04.577-04:00

Hi,

The title says it all. I can't run classic asp pages outside of WWWRoot. I have Windows 7 and IIS 7 installed. I can access a simple asp page as long as it is in the WWWRoot folder. If I create a virtual directory or application outside of that folder, the browser never connects to the page. I don't get a time out or error in the logs. Nothing is logged in the IIS log about a visit to that page.

I compared permissions for my folder to WWWRoot and added IIS_USRS, but that didn't help.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

FTP and Virtual Directories

2013-05-21T13:41:21.67-04:00

Hi There,

I have a IIS 7 site running on server 2012. IIS is working great for annonomous FTP connections. However, I want to use user isolation with "User name Directory (disable global virtual directories"

I have setup my virtual directory and given it the name "triumphadmin" and pointed this to a physical directory. However when the FTP conncetion comes in i get "530 user cannot login"

My question is where is IIS authenticating the "triumphadmin" user with. I read that it was a local account in computer management but no local accounts are being created in here.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Dave

FileUpload quit working

2013-05-21T18:56:37.887-04:00

FileUpload was working. Then, I added a File.Delete statement to remove the file before uploading a new one. Since then, it will not upload a file although I have removed the File.Delete statement. This is the error message:

Could not find file 'C:\Users\richnval\Documents\My Web Sites\SIR34Golf\App_Data\Index list.csv'. on the line containing this statement: userData = File.ReadAllLines(dataFile);

The error is correct, there is no Index list.csv in App_Data.

Here is my code and yes, the "File uploaded" line does get displayed:

@using System.IO;
 
 
@{ 
    Layout = "~/_SiteLayout.cshtml";
    Page.Title = "NCGA Index list Upload";
    var fileName = "";
    var fileMime = "";
    var dataFile = Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/Index list.csv");
    Array userData = null;
    char[] delimiterChar = {','};
    int nr=1;
    int ni=0;
    if (IsPost) 
    {
        var uploadedFile = Request.Files[0];
        fileName = Path.GetFileName(uploadedFile.FileName);
        userData = File.ReadAllLines(dataFile);
        foreach (string dataLine in userData) 
        {
            nr++;
            if (nr>5)
            {    
            foreach (string dataItem in dataLine.Split(delimiterChar)) 
            {
               <p>@dataItem</p>;   
            }
            }
        }
 
    }

Auto Generate Event ID

2013-05-21T18:35:47.513-04:00

I have figured out the restarting the publishing point based on the encoder somehow being disconnected. Using EE Pro 4, is there any way to automatically generate an Event ID so that a user won't have to? Having to manually hit the button to autogenerate a new event id seems really error prone.

It looks like I needed to get to EE Pro 4 SP2. Once I got that installed, I see an encoder option to autoupdate the event id.

PS. I'm a media services newb, so expect more dumb questions.

"Publishing point is in use. Reset it on the server."

2013-05-21T18:12:53.247-04:00

I am running IIS 7.5, IIS Media Services 4.0 on the server. On my desktop, I am using Expression Encoder 4 Pro SP1. I am finding that whenever there is any hiccup, the encoder is generating the error "Publishing point is in use. Reset it on the server." I have found the setting restartOnEncoderReconnect and have placed this within my .isml file. Unfortunately, I am finding that if I stop the encoding server and then attempt to reconnect, I continue to to get the error message "Publishing point is in use. Reset it on the server." Any thoughts on what else I can do to fix this problem?

I found this blog post that explained what to do: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/expressionencoder/archive/2011/02/02/10124054.aspx

Streaming to Android

2013-05-17T13:52:51.84-04:00

I'm working on setting up the Smooth Streaming services in IIS 7.5. I'm working on getting this setup to run with iOS. What happens with Android? I'm reading that Android 4.0+ supports Http Live Streaming that apple has. Is that correct? So, there would be no hope for the Android 2.3, which is still a fairly high percentage, but dropping?

Not getting video from live stream on iPhone, only getting audio

2013-05-17T13:39:54.82-04:00

I've got an Expression Encoder Pro session encoding live and am sending content to an IIS Server 7.5 running the Smooth Streaming Services. I have an example setup in the following video tag:

I am able to get the audio to play, however, I am finding that the video does not want to play. I am assuming that this is something regarding my setup. Does anyone have any idea regarding what I have setup incorrectly?

Unfortunately, I am still learning this smooth streaming stuff. Does any of this make sense?

Missing ASP.NET section in Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

2011-06-14T03:53:58.237-04:00

I am at a bit of a loss, and could use some help. I am a developer, and am setting up a new development environment. My old and new machine both have Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit. On my new machine, I have enabled IIS. I believe it is running IIS 7.5. After setting up IIS, I open up IIS Manager, and browse to the default website. Under the default website, there is normally an ASP.NET section. It is there on my old machine, but my new machine doesn't have it. The App Pool the website is assigned to is using .NET Framework 2.0. I have changed it to use version 4.0, and I still don't see the ASP.NET section in IIS Manager. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

I am going to try pasting a screen shot of my IIS Manager. As you can see, under the areas there is no section for ASP.NET. On my other machine there is. My understanding is that there is a 32 bit version and a 64 bit version of IIS Manager. I have tried running them both, and it doesn't make a difference. I have tried turning on and off 32 bit support for the app pool, and it doesn't make the ASP.NET section show (my understanding is that this could make a difference in IIS 6). Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Specifically I am trying to get to the ASP.NET section so I can get to the SMTP Email section so I can set up how email is delivered. I was able to do this on my old machine, but can't on the new one because the whole section is missing.

My first redirect

2013-05-15T15:38:41.47-04:00

Hi every,

I am trying to create a very simple redirect/rewrite rule, basically our CMS carries folder name in the path(URL), hence all the images and link referenced and embed including folder name, we want a rewrite where FolderName should be removed from all its referenced, and "/" will take users to home page.

Current url: http://localhost:15164/FolderName/news/

To: http://localhost:15164/news

Thanks in advance.

WFF and WPI versions

2013-05-17T18:36:28.54-04:00

Hi, I have been playing around with WFF for a few weeks. I've gotten it to work to some degree. I plan to use it to manage app deployment across multiple servers. In playing with it I have found that to get it installed (my OS is Win Server 2008x64) I have to have Web Platform Installer (WPI) 3.0 which is not the latest version. I then need to install Web Deploy 1.1 in order to install WFF 2.x for IIS 7.

My question is around PHP as I want to run the latest PHP I can get through WPI but with this old 3.x version, the PHP is like 5.3. I want 5.4.

Does anyone know if I install WFF and get it to work through this older WPI, if I then upgrade WPI on all my nodes, will it break anything?

What about the WFF platform provisioning part? I upgrade WPI on my primary server in the farm, will that action then try to upgrade it on the other servers in the farm?

What is the easiest path to use WFF and get the latest/greatest version of PHP on all my servers in the farm? Any help/tips would be appreciated

HTTP Error 404.17 on IIS 8

2013-05-16T14:59:40.277-04:00

I am developing a website in Visual Web Developer 2012 targeted for .net 4.0. The site works fine in VWD, but when I try to run it on IIS I get the error below. I can run apps on IIS 8 just fine using .NET 2.0, but not 4.0. Any ideas? I have tried tweaking the AppPool settings but cannot find a solution.

HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found

The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler.

Most likely causes:

The request matched a wildcard mime map. The request is mapped to the static file handler. If there were different pre-conditions, the request will map to a different handler.

WindowsUpdateProvider bugs...

2013-05-17T19:57:59.363-04:00

In case someone is struggling with WindowsUpdateProvider to install Windows Updates, there are at least two bugs in the provider code.

1. Download of updates is never called. Windows Update Agent API is used to search for updates and after search results are received, install method is called without downloading the updates first and of course update fails with error code "0x80246007 WU_E_DM_NOTDOWNLOADED The update has not been downloaded."

2. If reboot is required after installing windows updates, the code never calls SetComplete() to finish the update procedure. SetComplete() call should be moved outside catch block, because StopWebServicesCompleteCallback is the last step in the process.

You can use code from http://blogs.iis.net/gursing/archive/2010/09/06/how-to-write-a-web-farm-framework-provider.aspx to build your custom provider and fix those two bugs.

Aleks
