IIS in SySWoW Mode

can't get ASP to run at all

FlashGordon22 — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 04:05:31 GMT

Vista Home premium 64bit with SP2. IIS7.0.

Installed ASP and it's listed as working, the config file has the handler listed (asp.dll) and the file is there.

I've also got ISAPI installed as well. .NET and HTML pages render. but ASP gets this:

HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found

The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.

I've searched around and tried all sorts of things, but can't seem to get Classic ASP to work. I've heard talk about IIS settings (application pools?) but I"m not that familiar with those. I tried enabling 32bit apps in my application pools, but that didn't change it. Same error every time.

My asp page is as simple as <% response.write("here I am") %>

Nada. Please help. Been researching and trying things out for a week now, and nothing has worked.

ASP & Jet Provider

jmiko — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 08:35:10 GMT

Hi,

I try windows vista on my box and discover that I can't use my ASP application due to error:

Unable to establish connection to database.

Error information:
ADODB.Connection (0xE7A)
Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed.

My connection string is

ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Test\test.mdb;Persist Security Info=False"

I found several articles about differences between 32-bit and 64-bit environments but it is too strange that microsoft doesn't provide compatibility for ASP applications with MSAccess databases under vista.

Is there a way to connect to mdb-file with 64-bit IIS7?

Thanks,
Michael.

Hello,

I receive this error, when I try to read word document using asp.net and OpenOffice. I have Windows server 2003 64 bit but server IIS is running with 32 bit mode. I have granted permissions using DCOM config(OpenOffice.org1.1 Text Document). I have granted Local Launch and Local Activation rights to ASPNET and Network service; also Local Access rights too.

My code:

Dim oSM As Object 'Root object for accessing OpenOffice from VB
Dim oDesk, oDoc As Object 'First objects from the API
Dim _args As System.Array
Dim objDummy As Object = New Object
_args = System.Array.CreateInstance(objDummy.GetType, 0)
objDummy = Nothing ' free ressource
oSM = CreateObject("com.sun.star.ServiceManager")
oDesk = oSM.createInstance("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop")
oDoc = oDesk.loadComponentFromURL("file:///" & filepath, "_blank", 0, _args)

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Addition:

From event log:

The server {82154420-0FBF-11D4-8313-005004526AB4} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

ADO provider not found for 32-bit ISAPI dll, but provider is present on system

StijnDeWitt — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:16:48 GMT

We have an application that consists of two parts, Manager and Engine. We have troubles getting the Engine to connect to an Oracle db using 32-bit MSDAORA provider (Microsoft driver for Oracle).

Manager is a 32-bit standalone .exe and connects fine to an Oracle database using the MSDAORA provider, which is also 32-bit, on the same system. Also if we use the 32-bit version of the ODBC administrator, the MSDAORA provider is available and works just fine.

Engine is an ISAPI dll running in IIS7 in an application pool that is set to 32-bit. We have an 'echo' action that reports that the DLL is loaded and running fine. However, the Engine is unable to connect to the MSDAORA provider, saying that the provider cannot be found.

My (simple and probably wrong) diagnosis is that, because IIS 7 is 64-bit, Windows is trying to find the 64-bit version of MSDAORA, which indeed does not exist. Could this be correct?

Is it even possible to have a 32-bit ISAPI dll running in a 32-bit application pool in IIS7 to connect to a database using the 32-bit provider? If possible, do you need to do something special to make it work? Any pointers to documentation on this?

If not possible, doesn't that mean that there would be dozens of applications left behind in 32-bit land because they would no longer be able to connect to databases when running in IIS7? My gut feeling tells me this can't be so and I must be missing some silly checkbox 'Enable 32-bit ADO providers' or something like that in my IIS config.

We are aware that there is no 64-bit MSDAORA provider and MS does not plan to make one, but we thought this would not impact our software as it is itself still 32-bit.

Running Classic ASP site on 64bit Windows 7

Mintyman — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:57:14 GMT

Hi,

This is my first post here. I'm not a super duper techie so i've included as much information as I can think of in order to help explain my issue. Please go easy on me!

I havebeen using an old PC running Win XP Pro with IIS 5 and SQL Server 2000 which ran my development environment for my website. It uses a mixture of both MS Access and SQL databases (not got round to migrating everything over to SQL yet!). I have just bought a new PC with 64bit Windows 7 on it.

When I try and set up my site, I get the following error:

ADODB.Recordset error '800a0e7a'
Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed.
/index.asp, line 33

Line 33 refers to a connection string in an include file:

Dim MM_Directory_STRING
MM_Directory_STRING = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\xxxxxx\xxxxxxx\Directory.mdb;Persist Security Info=False"

After a bit of hunting, I read that I need to create a new application pool in IIS (whatever that is!) . Anyway, I found the right section and created a new one. I also set it to allow 'enable 32-Bit Applications' in the advanced settings screen. I applied this application pool to the default website, restarted IIS and refreshed the page.

Now I get this error:

error '80004005'
/index.asp, line 86

Line 86 refers to the following:

85 - Set Upcoming_Events = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
86 - Upcoming_Events.ActiveConnection = MM_DirectorySQL_STRING
87 - Upcoming_Events.Source = "SELECT * FROM Q_Upcoming_Events WHERE Start_Date <= (GetDate() + 60) ORDER BY Start_Date ASC"

MM_SemiDirectorySQL_STRING is related to a connection to a local SQL Express, which is connected to via a DSN connection with mixed mode authentication.

That's as far as i've got to.

Can anyone help me with this? I'll be eternally grateful.

Thanks,

Darren

SOLUTION TO INSTALL Coldfusion 8 Standard (32-bit) to Windows Server 2008 64-bit (SBS small business server 2008 x64) on IIS7

chowdrew — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 22:18:34 GMT

Spent a day researching online and finally made CF8 Standard work on IIS7 x64. Just want to share it.

SOLUTION TO INSTALL Coldfusion 8 Standard (32-bit) to Windows Server 2008 64-bit (SBS small business server 2008 x64) on IIS7

===

Example Website:
  IIS > Sites > testwebsite
Path:
  E:\testwebsite\
Homepage:
  E:\testwebsite\index.cfm
IIS Application Pool: (automatically named and created by IIS)
  testwebsite

===

1. PROBLEM: HTTP Error 404.17

SOLUTION:
IIS > Application Pools > (right click on) testwebsite > Advanced Settings > Enable 32-Bit Applications > (set to) True

(no restart needed)

===

2. Then I hit a 2nd PROBLEM: browser shows:
"Service Unavailable HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable"

Refer to: http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2006/10/19/Where-did-my-IIS7-server-go_3F00_-Troubleshooting-_2200_service-unavailable_2200_-errors.aspx

I followed his steps and found out this error in windows Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application > Error, Source=IIS-W3SVC-WP >

"The Module DLL C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll failed to load. The data is the error."

SOLUTION:

Edit file:
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config

Change this line from:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" />

To:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />

May need to restart IIS.

===

3. Now the 3rd PROBLEM pops up: browser shows:
"HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error"

Refer to: http://forums.iis.net/t/1154481.aspx
which refers to:
http://forums.iis.net/p/1149768/1871631.aspx

SOLUTION
They said the http compression modules caused the error, and need to disable it globally. Run this command:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']

In case we want to re-enable it, run this:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+[name='xpress',doStaticCompression='false',dll='%windir%\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll']

(note two %windir% to replace)

NOTE: this will turn off HTTP compression for all sites on IIS. I tried to turn compression ON again in IIS > (Top Level Domain, the 1st node below "Start Page" on left sidebar) > (dbl-click icon) Compression, by unchecking all boxes (if checked) > apply changes, then checking all boxes > apply changes. Restart IIS. Then both HTTP compression & coldfusion work at the same time! (to confirm: check HTTP header: Content-Encoding = gzip, using Firefox add-on: Live HTTP Headers)

===

Then it finally worked!!

SUMMARY
1. Enable 32-Bit Applications in the IIS Application Pool
2. Edit applicationHost.config for RpcProxy.dll 64-bit setting
3. Disable HTTP compression scheme in IIS by command line
- than turn off then on Compression in IIS by GUI

Running both 32-bit and 64-bit website on 64-bit 2003 OS - Possible?

john9569 — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 04:53:21 GMT

Greetings,

We currently have a web server (windows 2003 R2 64-bit). It has one 64-bit web application running on it. Now I force IIS to run Wow that support my site (with command: cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32BitAppOnWin64 true). Now my 32-bit web site works fine but the existing 64-bit website is now broken (error: Could not load file or assembly 'class name 'or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format )

Is there a way to have both 32-bit and 64-bit websites running on the same IIS (6.0)?

Your help is truly appreciated.

jesse71 — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 20:54:03 GMT

Hello All, I am running on Vista 64bit, and had explorer 7 (also 64-bit) pre-installed. Have also been running Firefox at times (latest update downloaded today). Everything would be ok if I could just get sound to play in in either browser. I know it isn't a hardware problem, my speakers jam effectively using WMP for music and WMC for DVDs. So confused b/c it seems that Flashplayer and Quicktime both need 32-bit browsers to work (though video is fine, audio isn't), I think I need to install and run an earlier version of Explorer that is only 32-bit, but can't seem to locate the correct one that works. Any help would be appreciated, my wife needs to watch her Grey's Anatomy and now I'm the bad guy for getting a new computer. (agreed that I am eager for Windows 7 to solve all my problems...) Thanks!

32bit app on 64bit iis 7

DaveClick — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:43:28 GMT

Hi IIS-community,

this is my first post here, so please be gentle ;-)

I have the problem that I can`t get my application to run on my 64 bit sbs 2008. It works perfectly on a 32 bit 2008 server with IIS 7, so the problem lies within the 64 bit-realms. I already followed the instructions where I run the App-Pool in 32 bit, but now I get the "HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable." Error. The Serverstop is caused by the "Event ID 5139 — IIS Protocol Adapter Availability".

I followed the instructions on http://blog.sweetucan.com/?p=129 regarding the rpc over http, but then I get the next error.

Does anyone have an idea, how I can fix this?

web service doesn't work after publishing in windows 2003 server 64bit

dev_crisalix — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 20:20:58 GMT

Hello everybody! I've been developing several web services in my computer (Windows XP), and now we got a new server (windows 2003 server 64 bits). My web service has a call to native code (32bits), so I found that I have to do: cscript %SYSTEMDRIVE%\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 1 in order to run 32 bits applications. After that, I can test the webservices inside visual studio 2005 and everything is fine!! However, when I publish it to use through IIS then I get an error... If I remove the call to the native code it's fine, otherwise not!! It seems like if the applications doesn't find the native code! any ideas?? thanks for the help!! Jaime.

Javascript will not execute on IIS7 WS2008 64-bit

ken@foamamericagreen.com — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 01:47:13 GMT

I have a brand new web server running 64-bit for a large shopping cart site going in soon that needs 64 bit native. I have loaded a few other small websites on the server and none of the javascript will run. I get the following error in IE8: Message: 'Lightbox' is undefined (any call to javascript is undefined) One of the websites is a simple full flash site with no .NET at all and another site is a .NET site that works perfectly, MINUS ALL the javascript! I have tried 3 different Application pools (64bit Integrated Pipeline, 32bit Enabled Integrated Pipeline and Classic), nothing works. I have searched this and read countless blog posts, but none seem as generic and widespread as mine? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks, Ken

Classic ASP, Access & ODBC

dcgmbh — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 06:38:41 GMT

Hello,
my goal is to get a access database running with ASP on a MS SBS 2008.
(Everything worked on SBS 2003)

What works:

32 ODBC and UDL file (connection to the access via ODBC32 OK)
ASP Classic (64bit application pool)

Problem:

changing to 32-Bit_Application in the Application Pool stops the service and I get a http error 503
No ASP anymore

I thought I have to switch to 32 bit applic. to use the 32 ODBC?
I use Identity LocalSystem and tried this on the server browser.

Any idea?

Thanks!

2008 R2 X64 IIS and 32bit application

K-Dubb — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:30:36 GMT

I cannot seem to get this to work. I just deployed a new webserver, and all of my sites (which run fine on 2003 x64) get Active X cannot create object. I have read some sites saying that the 32bit application layer is not installed by default on server core. There are some commands to run, but they do not seem to work.http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/r2core/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Home&version=7. I would seem these commands are not required anymore. I am also running Standard edition.

I have tried to run the usual enable 32 on x64 commands, but they are also not recognized. I checked the config file, and it looks like it already set correctly anyway:

I have also had this running on Server 2008 x64 (not R2). Are there any tricks to getting 32bit applications to run on R2 x64? Are there any tests i can run to verify that is indeed the problem?

Thanks.

Running 32-bit app AND ODBC logging in IIS 7

alexyoshida — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 22:47:34 GMT

OK,here's my problem:

I have SQL 2008 64-bit version running on Windows 2008 64-bit version. We're migrating a classic ASP application from SQL 2000 32-bit/Windows 2000 32bit to this new platform. Obviously, we use a 3rd-party 32-bit DLLs for a certain task.

I configured my IIS 7 with a log file created in text files (say, IIS, NCSA or W3C format) to a folder, and set the Application Pool configuration's "Enable 32-bit Applications" to true, then everything works fine.

Now, I configure my IIS 7 with ODBC logging (with ODBC data source created in OCBC Data Source Administrator using the installed SQL Server ODBC driver in it) to my SQL 2008 64-bit server, then every web page shows the error:

module	CustomLoggingModule
notification	LogRequest
handler	ASPClassic
error code	0x8007001f

Apparently, 64-bit ODBC driver in 32-bit worker process is a problem?

How do I solve this problem?

I do need the ODBC logging feature to IIS 7 because we process the IIS access log in real-time.

The problem I have now is that I need to run the site in 32 bit mode and when I do this the following line gives a "Server.CreateObject Failed" error, but works perfectly in 64 bit.

set Q = Server.CreateObject("ixsso.query")

Hosted 32 ISAPI extension cannot instantiate COM object (Class not registered error)

justindoliver — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 18:15:19 GMT

Ok, here is the configuration:

1) Vista 64bit Enterprise

2) IIS 7.0 ( w/ISAPI support installed)

3) A 32bit ISAPI dll written in C++

4) A .NET COM wrapper written in C#

Here is the situation:

Everything works fine until the 32bit ISAPI dll ( hosted inside a 32bit w3wp.exe process ) tries to instantiate a COM object written in C# like so:

MyWrapperNamespace::IBridgePtr pIService(_uuidof(MyWrapperNamespace::Bridge));

This very same code works on a 32bit Server 2K3 machine running IIS 6.0, ALSO I wrote a quick 32bit console application and it can instantiate the COM object just fine, which tells me its not a COM registration problem. (I've tried using both the 32 & 64 bit versions of regasm.exe...to no avail ).

The .NET assembly/COM object is NOT in the GAC(by design).

Why can I instantiate this object from a 32 bit vanilla console app but NOT from w3wp.exe?

Enable 32 bit on 64 bit servers

omarmallat — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 06:10:04 GMT

Dear all. I had a problem running crystal report over 64 bit server (windows server 2008). what I did is just configure IIS and enable 32 bit property, and now crystal is running. I need to know exactly what this property means? do this means that my application is now running on 32 bit? or only crystal is running on 32 bit? we paid more money to have this web application runs on 64 bit, and we wont lose all 64 bit features.

I hope also if there is any .net command that I can use to check if the page I call load on 32 or 64 bit.

php 32bit mail() function on 64bit OS

Sean Tornado — Wed, 13 May 2009 10:11:24 GMT

I have been having some problems sending email using the mail() function within php.

The problem I believe is that the version of php I have installed is 32bit and its on Windows Server 2008 with IIS 7. I believe our hardware is 64bit so purchasing a 32bit version is not an option neither is converting IIS 7 into a 32bit as we are using the web exchange.

Also it is possible to install a 64bit version of php but using mail(); is still windows 32bit and I will be needing to install plugins which are not supported by the 64bit version.

I have been searching google for 2days with no proper solution for my problem, indeed finding the problem posted on google is a problem.

Each time I try an execute my mail($to, $subject, $message); php file I get the error page 500 - Internal server error.

I have attempted mb_send_mail(); also but I have no idea what the difference is.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Enable32BitAppOnWin64 and Custom Properties

JMS-1 — Sun, 08 Oct 2006 10:52:12 GMT

We're running a Win32 Bit Web Server Application which registeres a couple
of custom properties in the IIS Meta-Base and uses them during run-time by
name. When using Windows 2003 64-Bit (US with SP1 and up to date security
fixes) and the Enable32BitAppOnWin64 functionality this seems to work no
longer. Actually the Web Server Application would run fine but...

Long story short: the custom properties are created inside a Win32 ActiveX
component during installation using the IIS ADSI namespace and the well
documented schema API. What happens is that the custom properties are all
registered and working until the IIS restarts! After a restart all
properties are still there but have lost its names (using the good old
MetaEdit or directly looking into the MetaBase XML). Since this is so all
the IIS Meta-Base objects (IIsVirtualDir et al) loose the connections to
these properties although the values from the time before the restart are
still set - IIS Meta-Base identifiers are still valid.

I didn't try if this would work if the installation runs inside a 64-Bit
context but I would expect this to work. But what I find really strange is
that the properties are registered first and at least stay in existence (the
identifiers received from the IIS are not reused) but completly loose names
after the restart.

Is this a bug (if so: will it be fixed) or is this by design (if so: why is
it possible to create these zombies)?

Thanks for any hint

IIS6: change from 64 to 32bit

anya — Mon, 25 May 2009 08:20:34 GMT

Hi all,

the website i'm currently programming is running on a 64bit system.

but now i need the functionality to import excel files (xls - or csv) what is only possible when having a 32bit system (if i'm informed correclty).

i have read that you can switch from 64 to 32bit by setting Enable32bitAppOnWin64 to true.

my question now is: can i do this for one single website or do i have to do this for the whole server?

because there are some other websites on the webserver and i don't know in which way the change would influence them..

do you have any advise??

thanks,

anya

php on SBS 2008 x64

Sean Tornado — Fri, 15 May 2009 13:21:36 GMT

Hay people,

I have successfully installed php on IIS 7, also MySQL and PhPMyAdmin. Everything works perfectly, phpmyadmin access's MySQL and I have tested out a few scripts including functions and switches and looods of others.

The only thing I cant get to work is mail();
Is this because the php mail function is for x32 IIS instead of our x64 IIS and System.

(btw, OWA works perfectly.)
