ARR Helper Utility and Shared Configuration?

kcb263 — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 21:21:35 GMT

I've installed Anil's ARR Helper Utility and am very happy that I am able to capture the client IP address in my IIS logs while using ARR. However, I plan on using Shared Configuration with our IIS 7.5 farm, and from my understanding the two will not work together.

Is this correct? Is there a: work around / planned enhancement / alternative? What are others doing? I would hate to give up shared configuration as that is one of the features I was excited about using in the new version of IIS.

ARR and smooth streaming

juan@ — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:08:17 GMT

Hi there, I had configured a small ARR implementation with the following configuration: 1 ARR and 2 webservers doing round robin balancing.

Everything worked well (check it at http://190.210.77.135/wordpress) but when I tried to use ARR in order to load balancing and caching a smooth streaming video the ARR server is sending a 404 error (page not found) when trying to access to the smooth streaming services url

ARR webpage: http://190.210.77.135/smooth-streaming/videos/programa%2010/ddd2009_prog10.ism/Manifest

website1 http://190.210.77.136/smooth-streaming/videos/programa%2010/ddd2009_prog10.ism/Manifest

website2 http://190.210.77.137/smooth-streaming/videos/programa%2010/ddd2009_prog10.ism/Manifest

Somebody could help me on that?

ARR v2 Proxy Timeout Server vs. Server Farm

JAltrichter — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:13:45 GMT

I am curious as to a difference in the default Time-out settings for Server based proxy (120 seconds) vs. Server Farm based proxy (30 seconds). I know the value can be changed, I am just curious if there is reason for this difference?

Thanks for any replies,

Jim

Response.Redirect Issues

philsidari — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:36:20 GMT

We have been successfully using ARR in our dev and test environments for some time and have had great success. There is one key difference in our production environment that is causing some issues.

We have several instances of the app running in vdirs on the same web servers. In dev and test environments the ARR URL has the same path as the vdir name on the web servers but in prod they are different.

Test Env:

=======================

ARR URL:

http://proxy/App-Inst1/

http://proxy/App-Inst2/

Web URL:

http://websvr/App-Inst1/

http://websvr/App-Inst2/

Prod Env:

=======================

ARR URL:

http://proxy.us/App/

http://proxy.euro/App/

Web URL:

http://websvr/App-US/

http://websvr/App-EURO/

So some of the requests pass through ARR correctly with our rules, but when we do a Response.Redirect to a relative path using any of the following techniques it add the VDIR name to the requested path and ARR then maps this request incorrectly:

Response.Redirect("../Menu.aspx")

Response.Redirect("~/Menu.aspx")

Resonse.Redirect(this.ResolveUrl("~/Menu.aspx"))

Resonse.Redirect(this.ResolveUrl("../Menu.aspx"))

So, what is the best practice for handling this issue. Note that I need the website code to work when accessed both directly and via ARR.

Thanks.

This is the official release for ARR Version 2 for IIS7 and it is now fully supported by Microsoft Support.

Overview:

Microsoft Application Request Routing (ARR) for IIS 7.0 is a proxy-based routing module that forwards HTTP requests to application servers based on HTTP headers, server variables, and load balance algorithms.

ARR Version 2 is an incremental release that includes all of the features from Version 1, and adds support for disk-based cache. More specifically, ARR Version 2 can be used to:

Enhance ARR Version 1 scenarios with disk cache.
Use ARR as a cache proxy as a cache node in a CDN/ECN environment.

Use ARR as an edge/child cache node.
Use ARR as a parent cache node.

Download ARRv2 RTW from:
• Microsoft Application Request Routing Version 2 RTW for IIS7.0 on Vista/Windows 2008 and IIS7.5 on Windows7/Windows 2008 R2 (x86) here.
• Microsoft Application Request Routing Version 2 RTW for IIS7.0 on Vista/Windows 2008 and IIS7.5 on Windows7/Windows 2008 R2 (x64) here.What’s new in RTW:

RSCA runtime statistics as performance counters. Users of Application Request Routing will now be able to monitor runtime statistics using performance counters.
Allow option to cache query string. A new option has been added to query string support which will do the caching keeping query string in mind.
Ability to run scavenger as a standalone tool.
Improved documentation at Microsoft Technet site.

The support is now provided by Microsoft Support.
The existing ARR forum will continue to exist and the product team will continue to moderate the forum.

Remove and Add Content Server through APPCMD

Shiva.Renganathan — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 04:37:56 GMT

I tried adding new server's to the WebFarm by modifying the Applicationhost.Config file it works.

But is it possible to remove the server gracefully from the webfarm through APPCMD.

Problem with ARR when the content server's return 302

Shiva.Renganathan — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:10:24 GMT

I am using the ARR Extension. I am currently facing a big issue.... could you be able to help..

My problem is i am are having a windows server 2008 machine with ARR2 installed and i am trying to expose some of the applications running in different servers under one roof using rewrite rules..

say my windows 2008 machine is running a website like www.repository.com

and i want to expose all the applications as www.repository.com/test/projects/*

where * is my application name running across different servers

i have created a server farm for each applications and written a rule each one of them in my Projects virtual directory.

Everything seems to be working fine... Except one small issue

Consider my Application name as sample1

And i am requesting it as www.repository.com/test/projects/sample1

I am getting the 302 response as sample1/

this response is getting routed as www.repository.com/test/sample1/

instead of www.repository.com/test/projects/sample1/

and returning 404 error...

but if i give www.repository.com/test/projects/sample1/ it is working..

Am i missing somthing... Please Help..

Re: ARR help with SBS 2008

wonyoo — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 02:02:41 GMT

runningdiplomat

Do you have a dedicated ARR server that is proxying requests? Or are you planning on running ARR on the same machine as SBS?

Either way, the basic idea is the same. Assuming that you have a dedicated server for ARR, at high level, what you will want to do are:

- Create a server farm where you will route HTTP (non-SSL) requests to.

- Create a second server farm where you will route HTTPS requests to (this should include your SBS server.)

- Then, further modify the URL rewrite rules with conditional statements ({HTTPS} is on or off) to determine if the incoming request is via HTTP or HTTPS - and route the requests appropriately to on server farm (HTTP) or the other (HTTPS).

If you want specific help with the configuration, please provide more details on your deployment topology and I can help you with that.

Thanks.
