Redirect issue

2013-05-23T09:31:43.357-04:00

I have multipel sites running on my IIS server. When I setup a redirect on one of them it applies tthe same redirect URL to any otehr site with a redirect. I can;t see why this would be happening.

Thanks

Set commandTimeout in MSDeploy when using auto provider

2013-05-19T21:50:09.087-04:00

I'm using MS Deploy 2.1 to deploy a Web App, along with some SQL scripts to set up the database. The deployment package is configured in Visual Studio 2010, to contain both the SQL Scripts and the web app.

To deploy, we are using MSDeploy with the "auto" provider.

The catch is that one of the SQL scripts is timing out. If we were using the dbFullSql provider we could specify a commandTimeout. (I have tested this, with the 'problem' script on its own, and it works fine.) But I can't find any way to specify an SQL Command Timeout when using the "auto" provider. Can it be done?

WPI 4.5 on Windows 8, crashes on start everytime

2013-05-18T12:56:53.333-04:00

Any time I run WPI 4.5 it immediately flashes ".. has stopped working". This is a recent problem as I already used it to install a whole host of software and files previously.

I have no log, but do have the tmp file:

Github missing from WebMatrix

2013-05-18T12:35:21.007-04:00

Recently made a copy of one of my sites to play with and I have come to the realization there is no Nuget link.

It goes from View, Launch(VS), Galleries, to Snippets.

How do I get it back in there?

IIS writes my connectionStrings to web.config not configSource

2013-05-17T13:14:29.363-04:00

I have my appSettings and connectionStrings in separate files. When I edit appSettings in IIS, they are written back to my configSource. But when I edit a connectionString the connectionStrings are written back to web.config and removed from my configSource. Why?

web.conf required in each subdir?

2013-05-22T12:17:13.437-04:00

Hi,

We have a large file/directory structure with existing NTFS permissions, currently used for file services. We received a request to make files accessible through HTTP, so IIS is the first choice.

I created a virtual directory, set authentication to Windows Authentication and allowed directory browsing.

First problem was that the web.config in the root. I gave IIS_IUSRS R/W permissions, and that problem was solved. I could browse the root directory. But as soon as I try a subdirectory, there's a runtime error:

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: An error occurred loading a configuration file: Failed to start monitoring changes to 'D:\subdir\web.config' because access is denied.

Will IIS require to create a web.config in each and every subdirectory, or do I still need to set some permissions or configure something else?

Thanks.

WebMatrix 3 errors and problems

2013-05-23T06:42:43.76-04:00

I've begun using WebMatrix 3 and IIS express 7.5 for the first time to host a website with database for the first time. Unfortunately I've been running into a mass of errors which I cannot find solutions for. I have read the manual and the trouble shooting guides as well as searching the web. It seems I'm the only person with this problem. I am a programmer and hosting is not my strongest skill, a few friends have tried to help and still no resolution so any help would be appreciated. When Webmatrix is loaded I can open a site from a folder, which is ready to go however once I select it I get the message "website 'FE' does not exist. First solution to this for me was to create a new site and just move it in, however even creating a new site gives the error "website 'emptysite1' does not exist". If I ignore the error and try to open the site loaded in IIS task bar, I get an error page 503.14 where the solution is to config APCMD. When I run it however it opens the prompt, loads the text then closes the prompt. Any help would be great, I have tried many solutions and nothing. Solves the problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything. Comparability mode Renamed index.aspx as HTML which worked but couldn't externally be connected externally but its not a HTML site.

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

ARR 2.0 response headers for a 302 Response are getting changed in reverse proxy.

2010-08-30T11:09:23.64-04:00

I m trying to write a reverse proxy to an application deployed on a webserver. Everything looks to be working fine.

The issue is with the response headers returned from the web server is getting altered through the proxy server. Don't know how?

"Reverse rewrite host in in response headers" option is enabled.

Let me try to explain again. If we try to acces the appserver url from a client browser directly it works correctly.

For example:

http://appserver.com/login.aspx

Since, we need to have the https request to access the login page. A 302 response will be send to the client browser with the new url in response location header as https://appserver.com/login.aspx. Things work correctly here.

As we are putting a reverse proxy server to our application. So the new url to access the same login page is.

http://proxyserver.com/login.aspx

And now the 302 response will be send to the client browser with the new url in response location header as http://proxyserver.com/login.aspx instead of https://proxyserver.com/login.aspx. So the login page dont appear.

Host names are getting updated in the location header, but the protocols is not retained (return from the appserver). :-(

cache-control IIS8 always set to private

2013-05-23T01:18:21.74-04:00

I tried changing the common headers to Expire webcontent immediately. Cache-control still shows up as a private in fiddler.

I tried setting a custom header of name:Cache-Control and value: no-cache at which point fiddler shows Cache-Control:private,no-cache

I've ruled out any code setting the header because i tried this on two sites on the same server, one of which is pretty much all static content with no code. Definitely no code touching any http headers. And it still wont let me set cache-control:no-cache

Any suggestions?

I'm a bit lost!

2013-05-22T23:44:19.03-04:00

I have been studying a course which requires me to use WebMatrix. But, I'm so lost.

I have to create a dynamic website, which inclues a public area, which people can go on and look at the products and the backend, where the store owner can go on and upload new images. How do I create the upload page? I was playing around with it and found in the database part that I can set up a new MySQL database, is this what I do?

Also, I have to create an intranet. I have no idea how to do this... obviously. Anywyay, I have created the forms and such in HTML, I just don't know how to do the rest. The rest being an intranet for employees to go on and order office supplies and such, which then send an email to their manager. The manager can approve or decline these orders, if they get approved they are then sent to the correct person to buy these products. An email will also be sent out to employees advising them of the decision. The manager also needs to be able to add a new employee to the intranet.

I have asked my teacher... but it didn't help, or I wouldn't be asking here. Thanks!

The "there was an error while performing this operation" message

2013-05-22T22:32:37.67-04:00

Hi -

Still trying to come up to speed with IIS, and have managed to deploy 3 different web apps on our server: One .NET 2.0, two different .NET 4.0.

The server runs Windows Server 2008 R2, Service Pack 1.

The apps were built in VS 2012 and deployed via "Web Deploy Package". These run as expected.

Now, the app that runs on .NET 2.0 was originally written in VB back in the day. We want to update it, so have ported all of the code to C# and built it on .NET 4.0. We created a Web Deploy Package and deployed. No problems there.

But for this app, when you click ANY of the configuration icons under either ASP.NET, IIS, or Management (ie., "Authentication"), a dialog pops up with this message:

There was an error while performing this operation.
Details:

Filename: \\?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\AsicOP/WO1.3\web.config
Error: Cannot read configuration file

Did a lot of searching and found a lot of references to permissions problems. Unfortunately, this isn't the case with this guy - All our permissions seem to be working fine.

Also - If we build the new app to target .NET 2.0 and deploy it, it works fine - We don't get the "there was an error..." dialog.

We could just stick with 2.0, but think it'd be better if we could move forward.

Suggestions?

In advance, thanks!

Another "can't retrieve directory in IIS 7 over FTP", but with a twist!

2013-05-22T20:54:32.087-04:00

Hi All,

I am one of those people having issues getting ftp to work right but I think I have a different twist to it. First off I will give you some back ground. We use FTP over IIS 7 to automate some file transfers at night. Right now this is working fine for about 10 client systems. These client systems are spread scross the globe and are all running Server 2008. These clients are all either systems we own or are hosted at co locations. The clients use windows firewall (the hosting company set them up this way). The server also uses widows firewall but also sits behind a Cisco ASA 5505. All of these clients are working.

Recently it was decided that we willstart moving servers up to AWS (Amazon Web Services). We started by moving a test system up there to make sure everything works and all issues can be resolved when we start moving the rest of the systems there. So far everything but one critical service is working fine... our process of using FTP to move some files from this client to the server. This new client runs Server 2012 and is not a physical machines but an AWS instance (as mentioned just a bit ago). When connecting form this client to the FTP server, we can change directories and see where we are using pwd and even create new directories so we know the control port is up. However nothing else will work, 'dir', 'get', 'put', they all stall out. I have been on just about eveyr forum I could find to try and figure out the problem. I have opened all the ports in all the right directions. I have even removed all blocks and turned off all firewalls, except for the ASA, I am not allowed to put the ftp server in front of it, but that is also a moot point as the ASA is configured to allow all traffic in and out, since we use windows firewall to allow and block spcific traffic. Even with all this, the problem persists. I am justabout at my wits end as this is not making ay sense to me having removed what I thought were all places that could be blocking access. Is there anything I may be overlooking in this situation, regardless of how small it may seem?

Reintalled IIS 7 / html files okay / aspx pages 404

2013-05-22T19:23:39.537-04:00

Luckily this is a test server, but I uninstalled Sharepoint Foundation 2010 from the system since it was hogging the port 80... but, as usual not everything was removed... the Site was still listed in IIS 7. At this time I decided to just do a clean slate, removed all the roles for Application Server and IIS, and then reinstalled them... and IIS still showed the same virtual directories as before...

I was able to remove 'site2' and am now concentrating on getting the default website up and running. I am able to get to the IIS default web page, and I can get to the virtual directory home page (default.html), but all aspx pages are coming up with a 404 not found page....

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Configure IIS to handle vCard

2013-05-22T19:26:24.043-04:00

Hi,

I have adopted some old C# (ASP.NET) code that generates a string for VCARD and prints it to the page (Response.Write). On an old server (IIS 6) this works fine, it produces a VCARD-file to download. However, on a newer server (IIS 7.5) the same code only produces the VCARD-string as plain text on the page, it doesn't produce the file to download.

Somebody mentioned to me something about having to configure ISAPI filters in IIS to make this work, but I can't seem to figure out what/where/how :)

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

Priority of IIS Managed Modules

2013-05-17T12:34:34.627-04:00

Hi,

is it possible to set the priority of a module created with .NET? I know it is possible for a module created with native code (C/C++), but I cannot use this way (since I cannot install a native module on my IIS).

I don't have access to the list of all modules, so I cannot use the <modules> section of the web.config to re-order modules.

I'm looking for a way to set the (managed) module priority within the initialization section of the module itself.

Thanks in advance for any help
