Troubleshooting

Server Error in '/' Application - The resource cannot be found.

simonalexander2005 — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 09:57:47 GMT

Hey Guys,

I know this is a really common error, and you must be bored of troubleshooting it by now! But here's the situation I have:

I created an "Asp.Net Web application" for .Net 2.0 using visual studio 2008. I then set up IIS on my local machine (XP SP2), and it runs the website fine.

Once I copy the files over to a folder on another machine (running windows server 2003), and set it up with identical settings, I get the error:

<-------

The resource cannot be found. body {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size: .7em;color:black;} p {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;color:black;margin-top: -5px} b {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:bold;color:black;margin-top: -5px} H1 { font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size:18pt;color:red } H2 { font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size:14pt;color:maroon } pre {font-family:"Lucida Console";font-size: .9em} .marker {font-weight: bold; color: black;text-decoration: none;} .version {color: gray;} .error {margin-bottom: 10px;} .expandable { text-decoration:underline; font-weight:bold; color:navy; cursor:hand; }

Server Error in '/' Application.

The resource cannot be found.

Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Requested URL: /Home.aspx

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.1433; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.1433

------>

The strange thing is, Default.aspx is my home page, which sets some variables, then redirects to Home.aspx (using Response.Redirect("~/Home.aspx");) without displaying anything to the user. This implies that IIS is finding Default.aspx, then failing to use the redirect.

I have tried other solutions I have come across on the internet, including checking for a trailing / in the local path setting, and ensuring web extensions are enabled.

The log file shows this:

Which implies to me that it finds Default.aspx successfully (code 302), but not /Home.aspx (404)

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Simon

shikhar_99 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:19:27 GMT

Hi,

I have a website running on IIS 6.0. There are three virtual directories created in the website. when i access one of those sites it appears fine but when i keep on refreshing it i get the message as

Server Application Unavailable

The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request.

Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur

After this error if i refresh the site it again comes fine.So this error keeps appearing after every 2-3 refreshes and the users accessing it are also faing the same problem.When i look in the application event log i get the message that

" AN unhandled exception has occured" and then it shows the path which belongs to this site.

Can anybody please tell me what is the cause of this error and whether it is from IIS or from the application end.Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

I am trying to send an XML message to a webserver using WFetch with POST option but it fails with the error " 0x3 (The system cannot find the path specified.): Could not open the file ".

Hi All,

I am developing the WCF rest service, as part of our requirement, the client of my service will pass the url http://localhost/WcfIISService/MService.svc/persondetails/pox/name/kilari/openhouse/20090810 03:00pm

Could anybody tell me the solution?

Can't access TSWeb from internet

Stenka — Sat, 03 Feb 2007 18:46:24 GMT

Hello!

I have a problem I'm been trying to figure out for a couple of days now. And its really staring to bug me.

I want to access my desktop with the Remote desktop web service, but it will only work on my lan and not from internet. I've tried almost everything, forwarding ports just wont work.

I always get "Page cannot be displyed". No matter if the RDP port is closed I should still see the login page "default.htm" but I cant. I've tried changing my standard website ports to different ports and opened the same ports in the router but nothing.

For all I know it shouldnt matter if I remove the default.htm from the TSWeb folder and replace it with a new default.htm page that just says hello or whatever, I still can only access it from inside my lan.

All other applications work with portforwarding, including using the normal RDP Client.

I dont know what to try next, I havent tried to remove my firewall/router but will try that too soon.

Any idea what it could be? I used to be able to acces my desktop this way with my old computer using the same router etc. I have a feeling its just some little anoying setting buried deep in the registry or some place where I cant find it.

All help is appreciated /Martin

Error Code: 403 Forbidden. The server denied the specified Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Contact the server administrator. (12202)

polynaux — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:23:29 GMT

Hi Guys,

I am using IIS 6 ans Small Business Server.

I have a default web site and a default applocation pool.
The default web site has two applications. Both are accessible internally via host name
but externally via http only tsh is accessible.

I tried to have the same settings for updateservices but whenever I try
via www. I get:

The page cannot be displayed
Explanation: There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed.

Try the following:

    * Refresh page: Search for the page again by clicking the Refresh button. The timeout may have occurred due to Internet congestion.
    * Check spelling: Check that you typed the Web page address correctly. The address may have been mistyped.
    * Access from a link: If there is a link to the page you are looking for, try accessing the page from that link.

Technical Information (for support personnel)

    * Error Code: 403 Forbidden. The server denied the specified Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Contact the server administrator. (12202)

I googled for 3 hours now and I just cant find a solution. I doubt its something big
since everything the previous admin did works for tsh.

w3wp.exe (ASP .Net) eating memory

reiguz — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:03:19 GMT

Hello, i'm on a VPS with Windows 2003 x64 (IIS 6.0 so) and i have a serious problem with w3wp.exe. It starts from 60 Mb and then grows until the whole avaiable RAM is used.

http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/4120/w3wpgraph.png

Here's an example image showing w3wp.exe private bytes and Gen 0 Heap size. They seems related, but if I use ".NET CLR Memory/# Bytes in all Heaps " it is much lower than private bytes. Can we still say that is an ASP .Net problem?

Moreover analyzing a crash dump the heap size i obtain is smaller, 200 Mb while the crash dump was 700 mb and private bytes about 600 mb.

http://pastebin.com/m6c448c9d

Here is also a !dumpheap -stat:

http://pastebin.com/m7fd72aa

I've done a "!dumpheap -mt 000006427881aaf8" (the System.String entry) and I've found that the bigger strings are aspx pages. I've a lot of them on my website (thousands). Maybe w3wp.exe is caching them? How can i disable this feature?
!gcroot on one of this strings gives the following output:

http://pastebin.com/m15545adc

Does this mean it's orphaned but not collected by the GC?

Here's a "!dumpheap -stat -type Cach":

http://pastebin.com/m2955d688

And a !do and a !gcroot of a CacheEntry:

http://pastebin.com/f38df0a24

If you need it, I can also give you the link to the whole dump. I've been working on it for a week without results!

Thanks in advance,
Carl

Problem running ISAPI dll from UNC path

stko — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:45:32 GMT

Hi all

I got a problem running the Search engine of a Web applicaton.

The scenario looks like this:

IIS 6 on Server 2003 R2 SP2

The files to publish are located on a network share. In that folder lies a search.dll as an ISAPI extensions

added the content as a new virtual directory, entered the user credentials for the share (modify permissions).

- Execute permission set to Scripts ans Executables

-Added the search.dll to the allowed Web Service Extensions

The static content of the site runs just fine, bt when I try to run the search in the browser, nothing happens. No results, no errors, no system events.

When i move the content to the harddisk and add this directory as virtual folder, everything works as expectet.

What am I missing?

Thanks

service did not respond to the start or control when stopping or starting websites

sherware — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:46:27 GMT

Running IIS6 on Win2003 Server.

Often I get the error message " service did not respond to the start or control in a timely fashion" when trying to start or stop websites. When stopping a website I get that message and then about 30 minutes later the website stops. When starting the website I get that message and the website never starts.

I've looked at the event logs and nothing is being logged in any of the logs for this. Is there somewhere else IIS errors are logged?

If I restart the server then the websites start back up ok. I just can't do this often as there are many websites on this server.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

404 error from a virtual share

MANGLER — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:47:07 GMT

I have searched for days now and I can't seem to find what the issue is. I have two machines both with XP pro (IIS 5.1). One is the web server and the other is a reporting machine. I shared out on the reporting machine a folder called PDF and created identical accounts on both machines. Just to be sure for now I have given that account full access on both the share and NTFS. In IIS I have made the Anonymous user the same account that is on both machines as well. When in IIS I can click on the virtual directory and see the files. Even from local host I can see the directory in the browser. When I try to access the site from another machine I can see all the local content but when I click on the link to the virtual/share directory (has directory browsing turned on) I get the 404 error. The only thing I can think of is that it's using the wrong credentials some how.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Can't believe I've wasted this much time on this!!!!!!

Under the site properties on the HTTP Headers tab, I added the MIME type .mov for the extension and video/quicktime for the MIME type.

Problem downloading Office 2007 format documents from IIS 6.0

NCU-Admin — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:26:35 GMT

We just recently came across a frustrating error. We are using IIS6.0 in our production farm, Beta and Dev. All server have the same issue. When a user uploads an Office 7 document (docx or xlsx) there is no issue. When they try to download the document from IIS it returns an error "Excel found unreadable content in 'document.xlsx'. Do you want to recover the contents of thie workbook.". If you click yes you'll get another error and if you click yes on that one it will eventually open the document. This happens with all documents that have been uploaded as BLOBS to the SQL 2005 DB through IIS 6.0. If there is an Office 2007 document just on the IIS 6.0 server that is downloadable, this present no issue what so ever. It seems to be only docs that are stored as BLOBS in the SQL DB. There are a few articles that mention Mime types that need to be added to IIS 6.0 to support Office 2007 content, but this does not seem to help.

I'm at a complete lose. Does anyone know of this problem and have any possible solutions? My next step is to open an MS case.

virtual directory name and URL path conflict causes malformed hyperlinks in aspx pages

Max Ainscough — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:53:53 GMT

Hi,

I (through supporting a client) have discovered an issue where hyperlinks / script urls are malformed when any string occurs as both part of the base URL as well as a virtual directory name e.g. "http://trythis.microsoft.com/trythis/myapp.aspx" Has anyone else come across this issue, and is there a known resolution?

To replicate the errors, I did the following:

Created a new virtual directory to our (working) web app named 'trythis'
Created a new host header name 'trythis.microsoft.com' against the website using the same defaults as localhost
modified my hosts file to add reference to 'trythis.microsoft.com' IP 127.0.0.1
restarted IIS
pinged 'trythis.microsoft.com' successfully
navigated to 'http://localhost/<application>.aspx' successfully with all elements working correctly.
replaced 'localhost' with 'trythis.microsoft.com' - with the page appearing but no images,links,scripts etc. being formed correctly.

I have been able to replicate this on both 5.1 (xp) and 6.0 (Svr 2003)

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

IIS works correctly for internet and localhost but serves malformed pages from lan

mv21262 — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:48:08 GMT

Hello,

I have an IIS 6 server that is showing malformed pages to any of my PC's on the local lan. From the internet and from the localhost they work correctly. I am at a loss even where to begin with this ,by malformed I mean the pages are showing jumbled formating and odd ascii characters and none of the java scripts will work. The server is behind a linksys gateway and the OS is server 2003 / Windows Home server.For good measure I have reset the gateway to factory defaults and then reconfigured the DHCP and port forwarding and verified that the web server is available from the internet

Thanks for any help.

IIS6: IIS output duplicated response headers for perl CGI

mmpower — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:44:35 GMT

Our perl CGI scripts output response headers repeately which were inserted into the output html contents. a sample code:

use strict;

use CGI;

$|=1;

my $q = new CGI();

print $q->header("text/html"), $q->start_html("test");

print "aa";

print $q->end_html ;

outputs the following on browser:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Connection: close Date: Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:34:27 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 aaHTTP/1.1 200 OK Connection: close Date: Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:34:27 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0

if I remove the line "$|=1", then it outputs:

If I run the script above from command line, it also outputs:

seems everytime the script output something, IIS always automatically append the same response header to the output. So if I change the above script to:

use strict;

use CGI;

$|=1;

my $q = new CGI();

print $q->header("text/html"), $q->start_html("test");

print "<br>aa";

print "<br>bb<br/>";

print $q->end_html ;

it now outputs the following on browser:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Connection: close Date: Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:41:32 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Connection: close Date: Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:41:32 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0

did anybody experience the same issue? how do I fix this?

the server is windows 2003 std with service pack 1, running IIS 6.0. same script runs ok on other server that has the same version of software running.

Thanks,

IIS (5.1) Has Suddenly Stopped Working

ccrookston — Fri, 22 May 2009 12:16:56 GMT

Hi,

I have been using my XP box now for a long time to develop sites in .NET, and without warning IIS has stopped working. Here's what I know:

http://localhost/[directoryname] returns the following:

Failed to Connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.

I am able to ping localhost, and it returns 127.0.0.1

IIS default web site is running

The service "World Wide Web Publishing" is running

When I make a request, the IIS log looks like this:

#Software: Microsoft Internet Information Services 5.1
#Version: 1.0
#Date: 2009-05-22 12:03:43
#Fields: time c-ip cs-method cs-uri-stem sc-status
12:03:42 192.168.1.101 GET /memoria/ 302

I've looked up 302 and it does not make much sense, it's something about a redirect?

I have (of course) done an IISRESET, and I've uninstalled and re-installed IIS. No luck.

I have not installed any new software, played with any firewall settings, updated the OS, changed any anti-virus software, or anything else that I can think of. Nothing has changed. Yesterday IIS worked fine, today... nothing.

If anyone can help, that would be be wonderful!!

Thanks,

Casey

Faulting application w3wp.exe / unable to get a dump with ADPlus

slikchucky — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:50:13 GMT

I am trying to diagnose a problem with app pools crashing in an ASP.NET application.

My environment:

· Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition, Service Pack 2

· .NET 3.5

· Windows Debugging Tools (64-bit)

In terms of symptoms, I am seeing entries in the Windows Application Event Log such as:

Faulting application w3wp.exe, version 6.0.3790.3959, stamp 45d691cc, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 5.2.3790.4062, stamp 462643a7, debug? 0, fault address 0x0000000000027d8d.

These are accompanied by entries in the httperr log such as:

80 HTTP/1.1 GET /Default.aspx - 1775306986 Connection_Abandoned_By_AppPool [poolname]

Additional information about the crashes:

· They do not seem to happen at any particular time of day. Sometimes there are no crashes for a few days, other times there is some activity every 12 hours or so, other times there are multiple crashes every 30 minutes or so over a period of several hours.

· As the crashes also happen during the “off hours” for the application, load is not necessarily an issue. The web servers are also generally under a relatively low utilization levels.

· Occasionally there will be one or two crashes a few minutes apart, but more often than not there are there 3+ crashes in quick succession. With the default app pool rapid-fail protection configuration in place, the app pool is disabled when more than 5 crashes occur within a 5 minute span of time.

· There are a number of servers in a hardware load-balanced setup. Not always, but usually multiple servers are affected at about the same time.

· Httperr log entires show the “Connection_Abandoned_By_AppPool” messages for various requests – .asmx, .aspx and .svc (WCF).

I have attempted to capture a dump file using ADPlus, without any success. I attached the debugger using the following command:

Adplus.vbs – c c:\ad.config –pn w3wp.exe

The config file passed in is as follows:

<RunMode>crash</RunMode>

</Settings>

<Code> AllExceptions </Code>

<Actions2>MiniDump;Log;Time;</Actions2>

</Config>

</Exceptions>

</ADPlus>

The debugger starts up successfully and I see the following in the log:

0:052> *

0:052> * ADPlus is monitoring: W3WP.EXE_[app pool name]

0:052> * for 1st chance and 2nd chance exceptions as configured above.

0:052> * To change ADPlus configuration please refer to ADPlus.Doc. This file can be found

0:052> * in the same folder as ADPlus.vbs

0:052> *

0:052> g

However, when the app pool crashes, there is no dump created and no entries in the log, other than something like:

Executing custom commands

User Mode Time

Thread Time

30:a98 0 days 0:00:00.171

I believe the adplus configuration is correct. I have verified this by attaching it to a sample console application set up to simulate a crash due to a null pointer exception and attaching it to w3wp.exe and simulating a crash due to a null pointer exception in a timer. However, when that happens, the event log entries automatically generated already contain a stack dump and all the necessary information for me to debug the issue. These crashes unfortunately do not provide any information other than what is mentioned above.

So at this point my question is twofold:

1. Why am I unable to obtain a crash dump of w3wp.exe using adplus?

2. What else can I try to diagnose w3wp.exe faulting?

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

SBS 2003 IIS OMA nightmare

MIS5000 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:04:30 GMT

Hello there

I am at my end on this one and hoping someone can help.

My client downloaded updates for SBS 2003 R2 after which their mobile devices ceased to synchronise. I found only one error on the machine:

Event ID 3005
Source ActivSync

Unexpected Exchange mailbox Server error: Server: [server.domain.com] User: [users@hoha.com] HTTP status code: [400]. Verify that the Exchange mailbox Server is working correctly.

No other errors. I tried everything found through out forums from re-creating Virtual directories, security settings, etc and finally gave in and reinstalled IIS 6 and Exchange. All good there except that after running the CEICW I could not access OWA or OMA from the internet.

I received the following on the browser page:

HTTP Error 403.6 - Forbidden: IP address of the client has been rejected.
Internet Information Services (IIS) the following:...

Clearing domain and IP restrictions on the relevant virtual directories I could then access OWA and OMA from the web. But when I went to sync a mobile phone, the first error (id 3005) above re-appeared again. One observation: running CEICW produced a red cross on the firewall configuration - there is only one NIC on the machine

I neeed an IIS Guru on this one - please help. Many Thanks

I have a web service running under IIS 6 on a Windows 2003 SP2 machine. Approximately 37% of the calls to this service (33K of 88K) result in a 400 error according to the IIS logs. There are no corresponding 400 errors in the httperr log however. We've also noticed that these errors originate with clients showing the same protocol and user agent combination in the IIS log:

HTTP/1.1

MOZILLA/4.0+(COMPATIBLE;+MSIE+6.0;+MS+WEB+SERVICES+CLIENT+PROTOCOL+1.1.4322.2407)

Interestingly, the same web service interface running on a W2K SP4 machine and IIS5 experiences 500 errors at a 70% rate from exactly the same protocol / user agent combination and the try/catch block at the top of the application does not report any uncaught exceptions.

In both cases, a small percentage of the calls using the same protocol / user agent combination do succeed.

error code -2145318902

Hi All,

When I tried to start IIS from the Services list, I get follwing error. I have no clue about this error.
Error:

Windows could not start the IIS Admin Service on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a nin-microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code -2145318902.

Please advise

Regards,
