32 bit 3rd party dll won't work on 64 bit OS

jpcleve77 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:02:12 GMT

We are moving one of our sites to a Windows Server 2008 64 bit machine from a Windows Server2003 32 bit machine. I set the app pool to run in 32 bit mode but the site still doesn't work. We are dependent on a 3rd party dll that seems to be causing the problem. If I remove this 3rd party dll from the bin directory of the site, the site will load and present the login form. Though use of the site would be crippled without this dll. Is there a setting/configuration that i'm missing to resolve this problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Site relative paths not working on IIS7.

gbloomfield — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:46:43 GMT

I've seen several posts like this, but none with an answer yet.

I'm new to IIS7. I have a site that works on my XP pro workstation, and works with our hosting company. I have image links in my master page that look like this:

I copied the site to a new Windows 2008 server running IIS7. I went to the default web site, created a new web application, pointed it at the physical directory. I view a page and all of the links that start with "/" are broken.

Instead of resolving to http://servername/appname they resolve to http://servername/. The link pasted above comes out to http://servername/images/aboutus.gif instead of http://servername/appname/images/aboutus.gif

Is there a way around this? I tried making the images on the master page point to src="./images/aboutus.gif" and that works for content pages in the root directory, but breaks for content pages in subdirectories that use the same master page.

Like I said this HTML\ASPX code works in IIS5 and works with my hoster, who I think is on IIS7. Am I missing some IIS7 setting when I create the web application?

"HTTP Error 500.21 - Internal Server ErrorHandler "WebServiceHandlerFactory-ISAPI-2.0-64" has a bad module "ManagedPipelineHandler" in its module list"

vishal_kadam — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:06:24 GMT

"HTTP Error 500.21 - Internal Server ErrorHandler "WebServiceHandlerFactory-ISAPI-2.0-64" has a bad module "ManagedPipelineHandler" in its module list"

I am using IIS7. How do i find the setting for ASP.Net. If not how do i install the ASP.NET.

I don't see any settings for ISAPI . Please help

Asp.Net 2.0 web setup fails in vista/IIS 7.0

bolivar131 — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 05:20:55 GMT

I'm trying to install both a website and a webservice via web setup projects that were created in asp.net 2.0/ visual studio 2005.

They were intended to be run on IIS 6.0 but for various reasons I'm trying to install on Vista with IIS 7.0. Both installs fail with the installer saying

"the installer was interrupted before [my app] could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again."

the event viewer has two messages for each failure the first just says:
"Product [my app] -- Installation failed" and has event ID 11708

the second says
"Windows Installer installed the product. Product name: [my app]. Product Version 0.9.2 Product Language: 1033. Installation success or error status: 1603"

Anyone ever encounter this issue? I'm assuming it's an IIS problem just because I was successfully able to install a windows service built at the same time for the same application.

thanks,

Simon

Session persistence problem

jakb — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:37:06 GMT

I am running IIS7.5 on Win7 Ultimate

I have an old asp.net 2 app using session variables

The app runs fine in Cassini and in IIS7.5 on the local machine but when accessed externally via the internet the app does not honour the session variables

I have tried changing the App Pool from Default to Classic .Net to no effect

Can anyone suggest what might be going on?

Cannot register ASP.NET on 64bit platform

Daena — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:25:08 GMT

Hello. I hope I choosed right sub-forum for it.

I am not specialist in IIS and ASP.Net. My task is to install application named ArcGIS Server on new server.

New server OS is Windows 2008 64 bit. IIS 7.0

ArcGIS Server is a native 32-bit application. It is certified to run as a 32-bit application on 64-bit (x64) Microsoft Windows.

I have found this tip for on vendor's site:

Configuring ASP.NET 2.0 to run in 32-bit mode

Click Start > Run. Type 'cmd' and click OK.
Type the following command to enable the 32-bit mode:

cscript %SYSTEMDRIVE%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1

Type the following command to install the version of ASP.NET 2.0 (32-bit) and to install the script maps at the IIS root and under:

%SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

Make sure that the status of ASP.NET version 2.0.50727 (32-bit) is set to 'Allowed' in the Web service extension list in Internet Information Services Manager

I set for True for AppPool 32 bit via IIS Manager (as Default) not via script as per p.2

But when I tried run aspnet_regiis.exe -i command I received message - There is error, IIS is not installed on your machine. (it is installed of course)

(But may be the issue is because I moved IIS root to non-system drive (it is our corporative rule), that's why command doesn't see IIS - I don't know)

After all I decided to install application as it is. But when I try to open my web-app, I receive Error message

Access to the path 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\new\0bd6d038\84ead9c4\App_Code.compiled' is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

There is no neither machine\aspnet nor IUSR_machinename on my server...

Would you please help... Thank you in advance

IIS URL Rewrite Module

Nazaf — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:03:21 GMT

Is it possible to use the URL Rewrite Module to rewrite domain URLs. For example, rewrite http://{0}.mysite.com to http://mysite.com/page.aspx={0} ?

Thanks.

IIS 7 ASP.Net connection timeout

DannyT — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:12:22 GMT

I have a rather odd issue that has just seemingly appeared out of nowhere:

We have a development application database server setup (win2003) which is hosting several instances of sql server (2000, 2005 & 2008).

We develop asp.net applications and I do so using vs2008 on win2008. Until yesterday this wasn't a problem but now when running an asp.net web application on my machine in iis7 connections to databases on the database server timeout.

However, if I run the exact same application using the vs2008 built in webserver it connects fine. I have created the most basic test possible:

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string connectionString = "Data Source=my.dev.server;Initial Catalog=mydatabase;User Id=myuser;Password=mypassword;";
            SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
            this.txtLogOutput.Text += "opening";
            conn.Open();
            this.txtLogOutput.Text += "closing";
            conn.Close();
        }
    }

Using IIS7 the above throws a connectionTimeout error on conn.Open() however using the built-in vs development server it works fine.

I've no idea where to go to look for a resolution to this???

Any help MUCH appreciated.

Child Directories

mweels — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:32:37 GMT

I have a parent application setup in II7 that runs fine. I would like to setup two sub folders to be their own application. Is there any way that I can set these up to use their parents binaries, etc? My main goal is to make sure the session state is not shared between the parent and two children folders. Is there an easy way to do this? Marty

IIS 7 and System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly Error

CloudIX — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:52:38 GMT

I have a web site that works perfectly in IIS 6. But when i try to run the exact same code on IIS 7 i get the error "System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly". This is a clean install of 2008 server. I copy the deployed code from the IIS 7 server to another IIS 6 server and all is good, so i dont think the problem is related to code, but more a configuration issue. Can anyone help on this?

Force site URL

Nazaf — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 04:15:20 GMT

Hi,
I have an ASP.NET 3.5 web site hosted on IIS 7. I need to force the "www" in the URL of my site, so that when users access my site using "http://mysite.com", they get re-directed to "http://www.mysite.com" automatically (address is shown their browser address bar). Does this have to do with IIS and URL ReWriting?? If not then how to achieve that?

Thanks!

How do I configure IIS7 for SQL Server data in App_Data path?

BobEricson — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 02:52:59 GMT

I have an ASP.NET app running on IIS7 on Windows 7 Pro. This app has SQL Server databases in MDF files located in the App_Data directory of the app. The app runs fine until it tries to read data from the MDF files then I get the following error: “Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed.”

Framework v1.1 Installation

riggit — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 08:40:04 GMT

Hi people,

I followed the article, http://learn.iis.net/themes/iis/pages/page.aspx/472/how-to-install-aspnet-11-with-iis7-on-vista-and-windows-2008 about installing framework V1.1 but now get the error:

Calling GetProcAddress on ISAPI filter "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_isapi.dll" failed

I have set the filter to be "allowed" in the "ISAPI & CGI Restrictions" section.

Any ideas please?

Cheers!

ASP.Net 1.1 and 2.0 on x64 IIS7

BradW — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 00:42:51 GMT

We're moving our web sites from Win2003 IIS6 x86 to Win2008 IIS7 x64...and I should mention the new web server is also a WFE for MOSS 2007. We have existing ASP.Net 1.1 and 2.0 apps and my question is: how should we configure the IIS (and the server) to run these apps?

I'll lead out with saying I tried or looked at a few things

I tried installing framework 1.1 on the server, which seemed to break all of IIS7 (MOSS webs and app pools) untilI I removed it and restored the applicationhost.config.
Will 1.1 install on x64 and coexist with at least parts of IIS not running x64?
All of the app pools currently have enabled 32bit=false. Is it correct to assume the apps we are moving should run in 32bit enabled app pools?

Remote Powershell Connection to Outlook Live from IIS7 Application Pool

Flaxxed1 — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 21:25:44 GMT

I'm not quite sure if this is the right place for this question, but here goes. I have an interesting situation, let me explain:

I have some WCF services that I need to host in IIS7. This .NET code is to help do administration of our email for students and employees at our university. Students are on Outlook Live, employees are on Exchange 2007. The code needs to establish a remote powershell session with Outlook Live to run some cmdlets as well as do powershell for Exchange 2007. Due to what the code is doing, it needs to run with elevated privileges using a service account. I have setup a new application pool and have it running under this service account. I then have my WCF services running in this application pool.

What I am finding is that when I call a service method that needs to remote powershell to Outlook Live, I am unable to establish a connection and the error that powershell gives me is "An internal error occurred." The interesting this is that if I change the WCF services to run under the DefaultAppPool (Network Service user) it can open a remote powershell session with Outlook Live just fine. I can also log into the server as the service account and use the integrated powershell environment to establish a remote powershell session with Outlook Live and run cmdlets just fine. It appears that it does not like running remote powershell from an Application Pool that is not running as "Network Service" (DefaultAppPool).

I have all of the versions of powershell, winRM, Exchange Management Tools, etc. installed. I am not sure why running my services under "Network Service (DefaultAppPool)" allows the remote powershell and running under my service account does not. I really appreciate any help and thoughts.

#include incompability from ii6 to II7

msncenter — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:15:02 GMT

Hi, I am migrating a site from II6 to II7.

The site is setup like this: Physical folders:

e:\CSharp

e:\Site

e:\Site\root

Now, in IIS, the root of the site points to "e:\Site\root" and in there is one virtual application "toto" which points to "E:\Site"

Now in my CSharp folder there is

"E:\Csharp\tutu.cs" and in Site there is :

"E:\Site\tata.aspx"

in tata.aspx there is the line:

This works fine in II6, but in IIS7 I have an error: "

Can not find: E:\Site\root\Csharp\tutu.cs".

Is there a way to fix the configuration in IIS7 so that the #include file= directive works again? Than you for your help

Messed-up site configuration; "Failed to find the RegisterModule ..." error in Event Log

tuggyne — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 00:44:37 GMT

I'm trying to get the default IIS welcome page to come up, after I messed up the configuration trying to get ASP.NET to work. (I eventually figured out that it wasn't installed, and installed it, but I don't know exactly what I did that messed things up, and I don't know how the installer handled the weirdness I introduced.) When I browse to the page, I get a bare-metal "503 Service Unavailable" message, and in the event log I find "Failed to find the RegisterModule entrypoint in the module DLL C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll. The data is the error." (where "the data" is something along the general lines of 0x7F000000.)

I've tried registering ("aspnet_regiis -iru"); I've messed around with the modules and handlers until I can't see straight (doubtless that was the original cause of my problems -- I tried to install the modules and handlers and what not that ASP.NET would require before realizing that ASP.NET was just not installed), and I don't really have any more ideas.

Also, I looked online somewhat, but I found no sign that anyone else in the history of mankind had had anything like this problem with ASP.NET.

Final notes: I'm running a .NET SxS installation with Frameworks 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0b1 installed (yes, perhaps a bit much... I'm looking slant-eyed at 4.0b1 as we speak), along with Visual Studio 2005 Standard, Visual Basic and C# 2008 Express, and Visual Studio Professional 2010 Beta 1. Cassini (aka ASP.NET Development Server) was working well enough before-hand (and hopefully still is), but there was enough of a difference between debugging on it and running the app in IIS 6 that I decided I needed to be using IIS at least for best results.

It will probably be necessary to post the config file, but I'm not entirely sure how to trim it down to just the interesting/broken parts. Any suggestions before I wade in? (I'm not experienced in IIS, obviously; I'm just trying to get my application running!)

URL without trailing slash fails

rohdester — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 08:54:37 GMT

We have just migrated from IIS6 to IIS7. We have a number of ASP.NET apps running on the server.

We are experiencing problems with one of them.

When we enter ourdomain.com/site1/ in the browser, everything works as expected. The site is loaded etc. But if we leave out the trailing slash we get an exception:

System.Web.HttpException: Failed to Execute URL.
at System.Web.Hosting.

ISAPIWorkerRequestInProcForIIS6.BeginExecuteUrl(String url, String method, String childHeaders, Boolean sendHeaders, Boolean addUserIndo, IntPtr token, String name, String authType, Byte[] entity, AsyncCallback cb, Object state)

This particular app is an ASP.NET Webforms app with its managed pipeline set to classic mode. This worked on II6 without any issues.

"Can't connect to server at localhost"

hedera — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 00:16:48 GMT

This may not even be an IIS issue, but since I don't know what it is, I'll post it here; my apologies if it turns out to be irrelevant.

I'm trying to upgrade a backleveled DotNetNuke site to version 4.9.5, the current stable version of the "old" code base. I first install my upgrades on a test system running on my Vista Home Premium Laptop: IIS 7, ASP.NET framework, SQL Server 2005 Express. The current production version of the site, DNN 4.6.2, runs perfectly on the test platform. I upgraded my test site to 4.9.4 a few months ago without a problem, but backed it off because of changes that would have caused problems in production.

I've now upgraded the test site for the 4th time to 4.9.5. Every install has gone the same way - no errors in the install log. Site looks normal. I can log in as my own id, which is an administrator, or as the super-user host, but - I can't access any of the pages on the Host menu that would let me configure the site. IE8 says it "can't display the page." FireFox 3.5 says " Can't establish a connection to the server at localhost." Safari 4 says "Can't connect to the server.” But the server will display any page that has non-configuration modules on it. The restriction also applies to the Admin configuration menus.

I can't work with the upgrade if I can't configure it. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Suggestions deeply appreciated.
