IIS in 64-bit Native Mode

Code not working on 64 bit server

FunkyFuturist — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 07:50:46 GMT

Hi Guys, We are having some problems running our website on 64 bit servers. We started coding on 32 bit servers and the website works perfectly when we use WOW 64 on 64 bit servers (simulating a 32 bit environment on 64 bit servers). However, when we compile our code on 64 bit servers (with 64 bit Visual Studio) the website stops working and throws a 104 (connection reset by peer) error. Any idea why that could be happening? Cheers!!!

Session state loss

jakb — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:40:05 GMT

I am running IIS7.5 on Win7 64 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?

Windows 2008, IIS, Tomcat ISAPI redirector, all on x64

Like many others, I’m trying to get the Tomcat ISAPI redirector to work with IIS 7 on an AMD 64 bit Windows Server 2008. I think I’ve read most of the issues that people have had out there, and I’m fairly confident that I’ve set everything up correctly.

I’m posting here because this thread:

http://forums.iis.net/t/1138519.aspx?PageIndex=1

seems to be the closest one to the problem I’m having.

I’m using 64-bit Java, with the 64-bit JK adaptor. I tried using the 32-bit one with the compatibility mode, as some people had found to work, but that did not work for me. Ultimately, the “best” case I have is this error:

HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error

Calling GetFilterVersion on ISAPI filter "D:\apache-tomcat-6.0.20\ISAPI\isapi_redirect-1.2.28.dll" failed

and Anil Ruia on the abovementioned thread suggested that this might be connected with this not being a filter - although all the times I've succesfully got it running (on other platforms) I have treated it as such - and that turning on gflags might give me some information. I got information, but I have no idea what to do with it.

At the risk of overwhelming with too much information, I have tried to cut this as little as possible (below). If anyone can enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong, I'd greatly appreciate it.

sending mail with IIS 7 on 64bit system

jpv2301 — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 12:50:55 GMT

Hello,

I’ve encountered a problem with sending e-mail using the vb.net net.mail class and using the SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis option. The option SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network works fine.

I’ve made a webappliaction than sends an e-mail. This works great on windows server 2008 on a 32 bits machine but fails on a 64 bits machine. I get the following exception:System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: Cannot get IIS pickup directory. at System.Net.Mail.IisPickupDirectory.GetPickupDirectory() at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message)

Is there a setting I can change to get this working on a 64bits system?

Server Application Unavailable - Failed to execute request because the App-Domain could not be created. Error: 0x8007000e Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.

Positron — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 10:15:36 GMT

Hello everyone,

Here is the scenario:

Our production server (Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP1 64 bit) has been running a Classic ASP application for years. We started recently to add new portions of the application in ASP.NET 2.0.

It took some time to figure out how to make Classic ASP and ASP.NET 2.0 run on the same IIS (and same WebSite), but eventually we managed to do it (registering and enabling the 32 bit version of the ASP.NET 2.0).

A demo of one application was put on the server last week and was working fine, until yesterday when all of a sudden it stopped working (fortunately the Classic ASP application still works) with the following error:

Server Application Unavailable

For each attempt to open a *.aspx page, the following entry is added to the application events:

Event Id: 1088
Source: ASP.NET 2.0.50727.0
Description: Failed to execute request because the App-Domain could not be created. Error: 0x8007000e Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.

The system is not running short nor of RAM neither of disk space.
I have monitored the filesystem with Filemon (Sysinternals - Microsoft) and I could not find any "Access Denied" or other suspicious entries so I am excluding issues related to wrong file permissions settings.

Fortunately a simple IISRESET sorted the problem but this is obviously only an emergency solution and I need to find the source of the problem as soon as possible.

I don't know much about process recycling, application pools, and so on. Therefore I don't know where to start and what kind of information may be helpful so here is a few:

- the application is using impersonation, that is, the worker process is running under the IUSR_server identity;

- some of the queries to our SQL Server db take very long time to come back (minutes) and this is expected. We expect a little number SQL timeouts.

- the application is using Microsoft ASP.NET Ajax 1.0 Beta 2

- the application is not using COM objects (the Classic ASP portion does);

- the web site is protected via SSL.

Any help would be immensely appreciated.

Thanks,

Paolo

How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit

pd1215 — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 16:58:40 GMT

How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit

I ran Coldfusion 8 on SBS 2003 Premium for 6 months with no problems. When we finally decided to cut over to SBS 2008, that’s when everything went to hell. I tried for weeks to get Coldfusion 8 to install properly on the new SBS 2008 64-bit box. During the course which, I found bits and pieces of information for Vista 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit installations. There are some distinct differences, however, with SBS 2008 since it runs core Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb. After countless unsuccessful attempts, one of which completed corrupted the box, I found the solution.

I have attempted in this white paper to detail the steps to assist others who may be in a similar situation. I don’t make any warranty for the information, but so long as you follow the steps carefully you should be fine. BTW, for those of you who say Adobe offers free technical support for licensed users, that’s not entirely true. Like I said, I purchased CF8 and originally installed it on an SBS 2003 Premium box. After we cut over to SBS 2008 and encountered problems, Adobe wouldn’t provide any technical support without charging. Moreover, based on my initial conversations with Adobe’s technical team, no one seemed to know much about running 64-bit on SBS.

From my understanding, only two versions of Coldfusion 8 can be installed in 64-bit: Enterprise and Developer. The “normal” install (which I paid a grand for) can only be deployed in 32-bit mode – gee, THANKS Adobe! By the way, in Developer mode only two distinct IPs can access the site in addition to the localhost. Any additional IPs will result in a CFML error message stating that the maximum number of IPs have been exceeded. At any rate, take your time and follow the steps to achieve a successful installation.

PRE-INSTALLATION TASKS

Back Up SBS

It’s always a good practice to backup your server before deploying any kind of major system changes. Although this step is optional, I recommend it in case you need to restore your server for any reason. Bear in mind, if your system ever gets totally corrupted, you cannot restore back from the twice daily incremental backup images alone. You will need a full backup with system recovery information to restore. Here are the basic steps:

Click: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools. Right-click “Windows Server Backup” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Click “Backup Once” under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Choose the “Different Options” radio button under Backup Options.
Choose the “Custom” radio button. What we’re primarily interested in here is backing up the OS – not your data partitions or attached drives.
Select the “SYSTEM (C)” checkbox, uncheck any others. Also, ensure that the “Enable system recovery” checkbox is selected before continuing on.
Under ‘Specify Destination Type’, I usually select the “Local drives” radio button and point it to a Terrabyte USB drive I use for backups. You can point this to a tape drive, or select the “Remote shared folder” radio button if you map to a UNC path to store your backup images. Just remember, make sure that whatever path you select can readily be accessed in the event of an emergency. Also, make sure the “Verify after writing (recommended)” checkbox is selected.
Under ‘Specified Advanced Option’, I usually select the “VSS full backup” radio button instead of the default since I don’t use a 3^rd party backup product. If like me you rely solely on SBS for your backups, choose the full backup option.
Confirm everything and click “Backup”. This process may take several hours depending on the size of your system.

Verify ISAPI Filters:

In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.
In the center pane under IIS, double click the “Modules” icon to verify that the ISAPI native modules are already installed for IIS. If it’s set up correctly you should see two entries:

IsapiFilterModule %windir%\System32\inetsrv\filter.dll
IsapiModule %windir%\System32\inetsrv\isapi.dll

If either of these modules are missing, you will need to re-install these (google for a solution).

Set Up Development Environment

Create a directory for your CFML files outside of the default Windows location (e.g., default is usually C:\inetpub\wwwroot\). For the purpose of our install, I created a directory on a separate disk called: D:\DEV.
Copy and paste your CFML files and directories into the new DEV root Web directory. This will eventually be the directory where the Coldfusion installer places the CFIDE and CFDOCS folders.
Open IIS Manager and double-click the server instance in the left hand pane. Expand the “Sites” folder. Right-click the Sites folder and select “Add Web Site”.
Enter a name in the “Site Name” box (e.g., “test-site”). You will notice that the system will automatically create a corresponding Application Pool with the same name. NOTE: this is important to prevent conflicts between the DefaultAppPool (needed for SBS Web apps like OWA, RWW, etc.) and the application pool needed for Coldfusion to function properly in SBS 2008.
Point the “Physical Path” to the directory you created in step #1 above (e.g., “D:\DEV”).
Don’t worry about testing the connection. If you click “Test Settings” you may receive a warning that IIS cannot verify access to path (D:\DEV). Don’t worry about this for the time being.
Under “Host name”, enter a DNS path to your site (e.g., “dev.test-site.com”). Click “OK”.

Configure Application Pools for Installation

In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “False” to “True”, and then click “OK”. NOTE: if you skip this step, Coldfusion will not properly create the required mappings during the install. We will change this setting back after the installation completes – more on this later.

Modify the application.host.config File for 64-Bitness

Click: Start > Programs > Accessories. Right-click “Notepad” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Open the config file from within Notepad – default location: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
Do a search and change this one line from:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" />

To this:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />
Restart the IIS Admin service.

Set HTTP Compression

According to some threads I read, the http compression module can cause errors if you don’t disable it globally. To remedy this, perform the following:

Click: Start > Programs > Accessories. Right-click “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as administrator”.
At the command prompt, change directory to intetsrv by typing: cd inetsrv
Run the following command:

C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv>appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']

This will turn off HTTP compression for all sites in IIS.
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Double-click the “Compression” icon in the IIS section of the center pane.
Uncheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Recheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Restart the IIS Admin service. This should enable compression and coldfusion to work at the same time.
NOTE: if for some reason you need to reverse this, run the following command from the command prompt:

C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+[name='xpress',doStaticCompression='false',dll='%windir%\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll']

INSTALLATION TASKS

Download the 64-bit installation package from Adobe – filename: coldfusion-801-wind64.exe.
Right-click the file and select “Run as administrator”.
Accept the terms of the License Agreement.
If you have an Enterprise license, enter it. For our purposes, just click the “Developer Edition” checkbox.
Select “Server configuration” – the default radio button.
I deselected all subcomponents and can’t guarantee that you’ll arrive at the same results if you select additional items like “.NET Integrated Services”. It should be fine, particularly if you install documentation. My preference was to keep the install as plain vanilla as possible.
Select the directory path for Coldfusion to install into – default is :C\Coldfusion
THE NEXT TWO STEPS ARE CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS. Unselect “All IIS Websites” and select the “Configure specific IIS Website or another web server” radio button. Click “Add”, and then select your test Web site (e.g., “test-site”) under “IIS Web Site”. Hit “OK”.
Do NOT use the default directory path for the CF Administrator location (e.g., default path: “C:\inetpub\wwwroot”). Instead, point the installer to your new DEV root Web directory (e.g., “D:\DEV”). The bottom line, you want the installer to place the CFIDE directory and files within this folder, alongside your other CFML files and folders.
Enter an Administrator password.
Choose to Enable RDS, or not. I enable this by preference but it is not required. This allows you to make updates to files using a CFML editor directly vs. having to move/FTP the files over if you’re working remotely. Opponents to this argue that it’s potentially less secure, but for a lower environment I don’t see this as a major concern.
Confirm everything to kick off the install.
If all goes well you should see a message at the end stating that the install was successful. I recommend you uncheck the box that asks you to open the CF Administrator in the default Web browser after the install. NOTE: we will open it a different way during the post-installation tasks. The worst thing that will happen if you forget to uncheck the box is that you might receive an error that the command prompt hung – not a big deal – just close it and move on to the next (final) steps.

POST-INSTALLATION TASKS

Verify CF Installation:

The installation will create a new folder in your program group: Start > Programs > Adobe > Coldfusion 8. The default “Administrator” link will not work because it points to the wrong path: http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm. The “127.0.0.1” or “localhost” path as you may recall in IIS, points by default to the “C:\inetpub\wwwroot” directory. Our CFIDE files, however, are located within: D:\DEV.
To bring up the CF Administrator logon page, open up a Web browser and replace the “http://127.0.0.1” part of the path with the DNS path name to your CF environment (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm).
This should bring up the Coldfusion Administrator Login screen. Enter in the Administrator password you created during the install to log in and configure your application server.
Verify that your test-site renders correctly by typing in your test URL into a Web browser (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com).

Fix Application Pool Defaults to Re-enable SBS Web Applications:

At this point, Coldfusion Administrator and your test CMFL Web site should be working properly. The problem is, default SBS Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb will throw errors and fail to start. Fortunately, this is easily remedied by performing the following steps:

In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “True” to “False” this time. This should re-enable the SBS applications, which would otherwise result in 500 errors (e.g., OWA, RWW, Companyweb, etc.). There is no need to restart IIS.
Open a Web browser and test that you can once again connect to OWA, RWW and Companyweb successfully.
In IIS click to highlight the application pool for your new site (e.g., “test-site”). In the right-hand pane, click “Advanced Settings”. Ensure that “Enable 32-Bit Applications” – second item from the top – is set to “True” for this application pool specifically.
Lastly, jump up and down for joy! Hopefully now, everything is working. Best of luck!! ..Paul D (MCP).

Question about PHP 5.2.10 and 5.3.0 on IIS 7.5 64bit

Krauzi — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 09:17:31 GMT

Hi,

i have a working installation of php 5.2.9-2 on my IIS7.5 64bit server on Win2008 R2.

My questions about the newest versions:

1.) Ive tried out php 5.2.10 with fastcgi, but its veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery slow (half or less speed then 5.2.9-2 with ISAPI). But i didnt find any php5isapi.dll coming with the zip-package. I didnt find anything about that the php devs take it out, so i was wondering weather there is still a isapi.dll in the package.

2.) I have downloaded php 5.3.0 in the 64bit editions (thread safe + none ts). Are they really 64bit and is it better to install the non thread safe or the tread safe edidtion?

I read that in php 5.3.0 there is no longer a isapi support, but is it yet in 5.2.10 too? I prefer ISAPI cause in my opinion its much faster and i dont need the stability of cgi.

Hope i get some answers.

Cheers Krauzi.

ASP Application cannot find the MSDAORA.dll driver. 2.8 MDAC on 64bit Windows Server

silverflare — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 19:08:13 GMT

We are have a problem with a older asp web app. We have moved over to a new 64 bit Windows server under IIS6. The 2.8 MAC seems to be loaded. (comchecker run) But, the application cannot find the driver. Additionally, we don't seem to have a reference in the Registry for the MSDAORA.DLL driver. So, we are assuming we don't know enough about 64bit ver 32bit enviroments. We have changed the connection to the Oracle provider, however, the recordsets are only returning "it seems" one record. That has made us go back to getting the MSDAORA.DLL driver working to solve the problem. We feel the oracle driver route is a whole different can of worms. Does anyone have any thoughts? Appreicate any help.

Stuck with FastCGI on IIS6, W2k3 Server x64 R2 native and PHP 5.3.0

Noname200009 — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 19:47:18 GMT

Hi,

I really don't have anything left to try, perhaps someone here can give me more insight.

Yesterday I installed PHP x64 5.3.0 as CGI-Application; long story short, it works perfectly. I can even run OWA 2007 on the same IIS site without any trouble.

Only with fastCGI I cannot get eny further. I downloaded the X64 version from this site, installed it via double-click and had no errors there. DLL version is 6.1.0036.1, IIS is 6.0.

When checking the webservice extensions, FastCGI is allowed and does have $windir/system32/inetsrv/fcgiext.dll as the only necessary file in it.
I created an fcgiext.ini manually in the same directory as above (the fcgiext config script for cscript was not installed with fastcgi somehow) and put exactly five lines in it:
[Types]
php=PHP

[PHP]
ExePath=C:\PHP\php-cgi.exe

Access ist granted to Everyone with Full Access (!)
I got the Tool Process Monitor to view any file action that might occur
I configured a script mapping for Default Site pointing to the above DLL for the extension ".php" and all verbs. Both checkboxes in that dialogue are ticked as well
Then I reset IIS via iisreset.exe

Now when browsing to a PHP file, it will always throw a fastcgi error:

Could not find entry for "php" on site 1 in [Types] section.
Error Number: 1413 (0x80070585).
Error Description: invalid index.

whereas the ini file looks as stated above.

help with migrating from IIS6 windows 2003 32bit, to vista 64bit II7 on vista

birdie123 — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 17:21:49 GMT

I am having all kinds of access problems in the .net 64bit temp directories on this. Don't know if i should continue to debug this or downgrade to II6 for vista 32. Is it possible to migrate from 32 bit server ii6 to 64bit ii7 on vista? Should i pursue downgrading vista ii7 64bit to ii6 32 bit?

thanks!

diegochb — Thu, 21 May 2009 16:00:28 GMT

Hello. I installed 64bits Sharepoing in W2k8 and get the folowing parsing error. I can't find that registry entry so I don't have more details. Is there a problem because it's 64bits ??

Thank you!

Can't get custom modules in IIS Manager Vista Ultimate 64

hawaythelads — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 10:53:19 GMT

I have built a HelloWorld sample module and an imageCopyright sample module in VS2008 on Vista Ultimate 64 and for the life of me cannot get the module pages to appear in IIS Manager. I have tried numerous compilations, automatically and manually tried adding to the GAC and have entered both modules to the <moduleProviders> section in administration.config.

The dlls are definitely in the GAC but I cannot see the modules in IIS Manager nor can I add them manually through the Modules setting in IIS Manager!

How to configure IIS Componets in 64-bit mode

amit10_ap — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 16:13:48 GMT

Components

I want to install IIS 7 components in Windows 2008 as 64-bit

Currently if we install from role, in registry it will find under 32-bit entry not in syswow64.

Also all the configuration xml’s are in the system32.

How to configure IIS in 64-bit?

I know how to set applications to be run on 32-bit or 64-bit.

I want particularly about IIS server only.

Please provide info

Is the separate 64-bit installer is available for IIS? If any, provide link

error: (500) Internal Server Error on Win 2008 64 bit

SamanthaBanda — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:38:57 GMT

Hi All,

I'm developing a win app(VS 2008) which should upload a file at a time to a web site, the IIS 7 runs on win 2008 64bit OS. but it gives me "The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error." error. but the same code is work fine on win XP 32bit with IIS6.

not only that; I couldn't get the PUT command working with IIS7 too, that's why I selected the POST, does IIS dropped the feature from IIS6 to IIS7?

Win App

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){

WebClient wc = new WebClient();

wc.UploadFile("http://localhost/WEBFileUpload/Default.aspx", "POST", @"E:\SoftWare\" + fileName);

}

Web App

byte[] buffer = new byte[10240];

int bytesRead = 0;

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Stream file = Request.Files[0].InputStream;

FileStream remoteFile = new FileStream(Server.MapPath(@"Data\" + Request.Files[0].FileName), FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None);

while ((bytesRead = file.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)

{

remoteFile.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);

remoteFile.Flush();

}

remoteFile.Close();

}

--------------------------------------------------------------------

PUT mrthod WebClient wc = new WebClient();

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://localhost/WEBFileUpload/Data/" + uri);

request.Method = "PUT";

request.ContentLength = resource.Length;

request.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = false;

request.Timeout = int.MaxValue;

using (Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream())

{

byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];

int bytesRead = 0;

try

{

while ((bytesRead = resource.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)

{

requestStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);

requestStream.Flush();

}

catch (IOException e)

{

throw e;

}

requestStream.Close();

}

try

{

request.GetResponse();

}

catch (WebException e)

{

throw e;

}

Thanks,

Samantha Bandara

Do I have to rebuild in x64 for a performance boost?

bluemiles — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 03:36:04 GMT

we're currently running .Net 2.0 Apps on a x64 IIS7, with WoW enbled for the pool. However we're planning to migrate those Apps to 64 bit version. Then here comes a questiong, is it helpful for page performance if we really made the rebuild? this is a critical question for both system administrators and budget makers. hope to get your replies, since this really is a puzzling question. We've read a lot but hardly find any infomation clearly addressing this question.

Hallo,

The sessionid get lost in the combination 64 bit machine with IIS 6.0, isapi_redirect.dll jboss and Internet Explorer. It works fine with Mozilla and Opera. Using Tomcat alone has the same result. Internet Explorer nok, the others ok.

Windows Authentication

Trevor2sms — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:03:14 GMT

Hi,

I have a website that gets it contents from a file server. It also has one virtual directory which is also on the same file server. I have setup kerboras authentication between the web server and the file server. On the web site I have set the Connect As to use the authenticated user and it does display the main content, however when it loads the style sheet it keeps asking me to login.

In the IIS logs it is displaying HTTP error code 401.3, however the security on all the folders involved should allow the user access to the style sheet.

If I put a specific user in the Connect As for that virtual directory it works fine.

Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?

IIS 6.0 64-bit mode & Tomcat

Trevor2sms — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 15:47:30 GMT

Hi,

Does anybody know how to setup the tomcat redirector on IIS 6.0 running in 64-bit mode? I have tryed everything and each time I request a JSP IIS reports that it cannot find a file. I have followed all the instructions but still can not get it to work.

If I put IIS into 32-bit mode, then I can get it to work.

Anyone got any ideas?

DebugDiag and IIS Hang Problem

Mrlogin — Wed, 14 May 2008 14:45:55 GMT

i faced a problem with our online web site, and IIS hangs... i have downloaded Debug Diag 1.0 for X46 and installed it... followed the steps on IIS hang and choose (All IIS related process) the rule is activated but then ... it generate a dump file with 0kb size,,, i check the Log and found:

Script Error
Error Code - 0x80004005
Error Source [DbgSvc.Controller.1]
Error Description [GetLastError returns 0x8007012B. Could not create dump file C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\DebugDiag\w3wp.exe__PID__820__Date__05_14_2008__Time_07_47_34AM__671__IIS Hang Dump.dmp for process id 820.]

Any Suggestion are welcomed

IIS 6.0 Remote Storage

Trevor2sms — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 16:18:10 GMT

Hi,

I have a web site that uses Integrated Windows Authentication and the codebase is on a remote server. I have configured IIS to use the authenticated user to gain access to the remote server. On the remote server I have added the user to the permissions and on the web server added the user to temporary ASP.NET directory and %windir%/temp.

However when I access the site and it will keep asking me for my username and password but will eventually let me into the site. However I have set my IE7 to pass my credentials up to the server so it should display the login box. When it lets me in all the styling has disappeared.

In the IIS logs it gives 401.1, 401.2 and 401.3 but also gives sometimes 200 with the previous errors.

However if I configure the site to use the a user with domain admins rights instead of using authenticated user it works fine. Any Ideas?

DebugDiag cannot create dump file for w3wp.exe

bpt — Wed, 14 May 2008 14:22:27 GMT

I have a 64bit server with Windows server 2003 R2 (64bit). I have read in the requirements of the DebugDiag that it only works on servers that are 32bit, but i tried to use it anyway.

I am able to create a crash rule, and attach a debugger to the w3wp process, but when a crash happens then it creates an empty dump file.

Also if i try to manually create a dump file for the w3wp.exe process, i get the following error:

GetLastError returns 0x8007012B. Could not create dump file <file path> for process id 1980.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it to work, or why i am getting this error?

Thanks in advance,
