Add new website

bhavesh_kotwani@hotmail.com — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:42:47 GMT

I have a website built in classic ASP. I have lots of .asp files which only contain <!-- include virtual = "/lib/xyz.asp> and many more # includes.

Now when i try to run my site its gives me an error. I am aware that all those #include files must be pasted under wwwroot with their directory structure intact.

I am currently using windows XP. The website is already deployed on windows 2003 server. In win 2003, when i open IIS i can right click on "Websites" folder and do Add new web site.

Is this possible to do in win xp by changing some configuration. Because in xp every time i add a new website it gets added under default website and the starting point for that website starts from default website. I want the starting point of the website to start from the folder i specified while adding the new virtaual directory in XP.

Is it possible to change the starting point of the web site in XP or allow IIS to support the functionality of adding a new website when i right click on Websites folder in Win XP.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards

Bhavesh

hello everyone, i am absolutely new to IIS and would like to start learning about it, can someone point me in the direction of any beginner tutorials, articles etc about setting up IIS 5.1 on windows XP SP2. Also it would be just for experimenting so i do not want to actually make available or connect to a server so if you can inform me on what settings to use to restrict connections to the Internet. thanks in advance.

Re: Registering ASP.net v2.x with IIS5.1 on Windows XP

willow315 — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:13:07 GMT

I have done further research and found that the .Net Framework versions 3.0 and 3.5, actually run in IIS has part of 2.x...I have those installed on my computer and v 1.x and 2.x are showing up in the drop-down inside the .Net Framework tab in IIS.

In looking through the info Under the ASP.net tab, I noticed an authentication error....

It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level

In researching the resolution of this error, I found that I should have created a "virtual directory" and made sure that the Application form field was populated....ie the directory has to be defined as an "application."Which I believe satisfied the original error I was getting in a browser.

Did that, and am now getting a different error, when attempting to access the site...It's on my local machine...Windows XP...I just want to test this site locally...It's all working fine on the production server...Wndowds 2003.

Anyway...I now get an error,

"Failed to access IIS metabase."
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironmentException: Failed to access IIS metabase.

And that was followed by some Stack Trace data, that really didn't seem to give me any more info.

I checked the IUSR_servername account....that I believe must have read permissions...It DOES, as far as I can tell....

But I am a little loathe to start messing with the IIS metabase....without doing further research.

Any assistane from any direction, at this point would be greatly appreciated. WCW

HTTP Error 401.3 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to an ACL set on the requested resource.

alexscript — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:34:17 GMT

My Server is running on Windows XP Professional IIS 5.1 and I am getting the HTTP Error 401.3 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to an ACL set on the requested resource.

All images stored in "C:\WebsiteRoot\Portal\Content\Library\Users\[username]\" cannot be viewed (These are user uploaded images). However, all images stored in "C:\WebsiteRoot\Portal\Content\Library\Groups\[groupname]\" can be viewed. So it only applies to the first folder example and subdirectories.

It's causing missing images on my site.

I would like to add aswell, and I hope this may indicate something about the user roles that CAN and CAN'T access these images. I have server side methods that can access these files and return them to me. It is only when I use the link "[domain]/Content/Library/Users/[username]/[filename]" that I get the 401.3 error.

I've done so much to try to allow access to these images, that I'd like to start fresh with recommendations from anybody here on the IIS community site.

Thank you for any help, Alex

Registering ASP.net v2.x with IIS5.1 on Windows XP

willow315 — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 22:37:42 GMT

I have read numerous tutorals, and when I attempt to run the following suggested command from the cmd line, my computer tells me it cannot find the specified path....which makes no sense. the path is correct.

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\vxxxxxx\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

regsvr32 %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\vxxxxxx\aspnet_isapi.dll

of course replacing the vxxxxetc with my v2x number.

Even when I use the complete path starting at c:\Windows...etc.

Why would it tell me that it can't find the path, when the path is correct, and the specified folder is where it's supposed to be. I don't get it.

Any assistance would be appreciated. WCW

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.

Problems with ExecuteGlobal in VBScript on IIS 5.1 but not 6.0

djplong — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:37:33 GMT

What setting might be missing or misapplied that would cause the same code that works on an IIS 6.0 server to fail on an IIS 5.1 server?

I've inherited this large Classic ASP application. It "caches" a series of files with funcitons in them using the ExecuteGlobal command. On both server, the command executes without error. However, when the application later tries to reference the functions that were 'cached', IIS 6.0 seems to work just fine while IIS 5.1 acts as though those functions never existed and I get errors to that effect.

The 5.1 system is for testing purposes on an XP Pro box. The 6.0 is our production system on Windows 2003.

It's taken a long time to isolate the problem (identical code failing in test but working in production) to this code. Setting up another server isn't an option unfortunately (budget restraints - no money to pay the support people or to rent space where all servers must be physically located - military installation).

What directions have I missed looking into?

Hi guys..

I am new to .NET and I recently started learning it for my college project. I have Windows XP professional edition installed on my system. In order to work on my project I installed first IIS and then Visual studio 2008 in my system, though i dn't know what is IIS...

Now, I recently came to know about InetPub directory and all d stuff...and when I tried to check if my IIS is working or not by typing "http://localhost/", I am being asked for username and password. I tried each and evry username on my system and evn created a new user for this purpose, but of no use. Then I tried giving all the permission for the rrot directory InetPub,which is also of no use.

and yesterday it was showing another error "cannot display the requested page" and the error it is showing is "error in the line 40- GetObject method or something"

Now, how the hell it is showing this error when i dn't even opend the root directory????

nd I tried microsoft's trubleshooting document...nd it went over my head....

Please please help me.....my idiot faculty is eating my brains...

Thanks

IIS 5.1 on XP using HTTPS

CharlesSmith — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:38:37 GMT

I am a .net developer and trying to test my web-site on my own XP development computer. I have installed a certificate. I can access the site with http but it does not work with https. When I use SSLDiag.exe to simulate SSL handshake, I get an 0x80090308 error message and it says to look at the SSL errors shown in the main SSLDiagnostic tool. However, there are no errors on the main page. Does anybody know what the problem is?
