Failing to recycle app pool

2013-05-13T07:51:35.62-04:00

Hello!

I'm having a problem where when I try to upload a new .dll or web.config on one of my projects the server fails to recycle automatically. At least that is what I suspect is happening. The app pool doubles in memory and the process increases dramatically until it eventually seems to crash.

When I recycle manually it works quite well and there are not problems. Also the auto recycling seems to work well for some other applications.

I realize this might be something that needs to be fixed in the code rather than the server but I thought I'd ask for advice here as well.

Thanks!

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?

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>;   
            }
            }
        }
 
    }

Is it possible to install a Windows service for a Gallery application?

2013-05-07T10:12:34.32-04:00

My web application needs a back-end Windows Service to function for a scheduling purpose. And I'd like to submit it to Web Gallery.

If I get it right, only web application packages are accepted to a Web Gallery.

I only see the following options to install a service:

If there is no service installed, the web application can ask a customer to download a MSI installer (is such a behavior legal in Web Gallery?);
I can ask customers to add a custom feed to Web PI, and install a service from it;
I can put all the code into a web app and do several tricks to get a mediocre emulation of a scheduler in a web app.

Is #1 (linking to a MSI file) legal in Web Gallery?

Are there any other options?

ASP Trust level, web.config

2013-04-30T00:11:44.183-04:00

Hi, everyone

Recently found one of our web servers had ASP NET trust level set to FULL (seems its a default). That makes it vulnerable to ASP Net shell scripts that use cmd.exe and can list all files on the web server.

I set the default for trust level to be medium in the global asp net web.config file, but some sites or apps require trust level=high, so some hacker could, if he obtained access to web.config, change the trust level...

Is there anything else I can do besides audit changed web.config files?

Thanks.

Deployment issue of a web application with msdeploy

2012-02-24T05:11:09.64-05:00

I have a web application and I am trying to deploy it on a webserver using MSDeploy.exe (Web Deploy 2)

I have tried 4 scenarios:
1. Through VS2010 Publish method with following settings:

Publish Method: Web Deploy
Service Url: https://<<MyServerName>>:8172/MsDeploy.axd
Site/application: <<MyWebSiteName>>
Allow untrusted: checked
Username: <<MyUsername>>
Password: <<MyPassword>>
This method works just fine. On <<MyServerName>> machine I have Web Management Service running; I have a website <<MyWebSiteName>> and <<MyUserName>> is an IIS Manager for it.

2. Through VS2010 Publish method with following settings:

Publish Method: Web Deploy
Service Url: https://<<MyServerName>>:8172/MsDeploy.axd
Site/application: <<MyWebSiteName>>/<<MyWebAppName>>
Allow untrusted: checked
Username: <<MyUsername>>
Password: <<MyPassword>>
This method works just fine.

3. Through MSDeploy.exe command line (within a Powershell script)

$Source = "contentPath='....\_PublishedWebsites\MyWebApp'"
$Destination = "contentPath=MyWebSiteName,computerName='https://fc-wapps-trial:8172/MsDeploy.axd?Site=WebSiteTest',Username=MyUsername,Password=MyPassword,AuthType=basic,IncludeAcls=False"
MSDeploy -verb:sync -source:$Source -dest:$Destination -allowUntrusted
This method also works fine.

4. Through MSDeploy.exe command line (within a Powershell script)

$Source = "contentPath='....\_PublishedWebsites\MyWebApp'"
$Destination = "iisApp=MyWebSiteName/MyWebAppName,computerName='https://fc-wapps-trial:8172/MsDeploy.axd?Site=WebSiteTest/MyWebAppName',Username=MyUsername,Password=MyPassword,AuthType=basic,IncludeAcls=False"
MSDeploy -verb:sync -source:$Source -dest:$Destination -allowUntrusted

This method doesn't work. I am getting the following error.
Error Code: ERROR_USER_UNAUTHORIZED
More Information: Connected to the destination computer ("MyServerName") using the Web Management Service, but could not authorize. Make sure that you are using the correct user name and password, that the site you are connecting to exists, and that the credentials represent a user who has permissions to access the site.
Error: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

I was looking at what is the actuall MSDeploy command that the method 2 uses and I got something like:

msdeploy.exe
-source:manifest='...\MyWebApp.SourceManifest.xml'
-dest:auto,ComputerName='https://MyServerName:8172/MsDeploy.axd?site=WebSiteTest',UserName='MyUsername',Password='MyPassword',IncludeAcls='False',AuthType='Basic'
-verb:sync
-disableLink:AppPoolExtension
-disableLink:ContentExtension
-disableLink:CertificateExtension
-skip:objectname='dirPath',absolutepath='...\App_Data$'
-setParam:kind='ProviderPath',scope='IisApp',match='^...\\PackageTmp$',value=WebSiteTest/WebAppTest
-setParam:kind='ProviderPath',scope='setAcl',match='^..\\PackageTmp$',value=WebSiteTest/WebAppTest
-allowUntrusted
-retryAttempts=2

Now this doesn't seem to be anything close to what I am using in method 4.

So my questions are:
- What I am doing wrong?
- How can I deploy a web application as a website application in IIS7 using MSDeploy.exe command

Thanks in advance for your help

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

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?

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.
