Allow remote IIS manager to create virtual directories

shaibn — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 10:16:51 GMT

Hi,

Locally, on the server, I have no problem creating virtual directories.

Remotely, this isn't showing. How do I allow remote manager users to create virtual directories and applications?

Thanks in advance!

Re: 2008 R2, IIS 7 and UNC problems, managed pipeline modes ?

SQLRocks — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:18:57 GMT

I have very similar situation and problems and have spent a lot of days trying to solve the issue.

Things that I am doing that are the same:

1) High volume web servers running Windows 2008 and/or Windows 2008 R2 running sites in Integrated mode.

2) Sites have virtual directories that point to UNC content on Windows 2003 server. Also have Terabytes of data (about 30 TB) on that UNC location.

3) Active Directory domain account used for permissions to access shared content.

Differences:

1) From the errors I see in your it looks like you're using directory monitoring (File Change Notification) and I'm using the default mode which check the content periodically to see if it has been updated.

I had similar problems and did have to tune LanManServer registry settings on the file server. Since my File Server is x64 Window 2003 I used large values to MaxMpxCT (16384) and MaxWorkItems (65536).

On My IIS Servers (Windows 2008 and Windows 2008 R2) I've got LanManWorkstation "MaxCmds" set to 16384.

Now that tuning did *largely* solve my issues.

However, under high load I get occasional times when the IIS Servers stop serving content from the Virtual Directories attached the the UNC content. "appcmd list requests" show a lot of requests in the "BeginRequest" or "AuthenticateRequest" state. Often times it take about 80 seconds for things to start moving again.

So my advice, trying the LanManServer and LanManWorkstation registry setting and see how it work for you.

*****UPDATE***** I've had great success with:

Windows 2008 R2 (i've got serveral): lanmanworkstation\MaxCmds = 8192

Windows 2003 File Server (All values decimal):

lanmanserver\EnableOplocks = 0
lanmanserver\MaxFreeConnections = 100
lanmanserver\MaxMpxCT = 8192
lanmanserver\MaxRawWorkItems = 512
lanmanserver\MaxWorkItems = 65536
lanmanserver\MinFreeConnections = 32

Two sites with same virtual directory unable to have unique configurations

SQLRocks — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:35:48 GMT

Hi All,

I've got two sites on the same IIS7 server and they both have a virtual directory called "photos" which points to the same UNC path and directory. Both sites serve content from the "photos" virtual directory just fine.

On "Site 1" I want to set the content to expire for the "photos" virtual directory to 20 minutes. When I do that a web.config file is generated in the physical location that maps to the "photos" virtual directory. Now both "Site 1" and "Site 2" have the same 20 minute expiration althugh my intent was NOT to have a 20 minute expiration for the "photos" virtual under "Site 2".

I want both sites to share the same virtual directory (and no, it's not practical to copy the files to different locations) and yet I want each site to have it's own unique content expiration time. On the surface it appears that this can't be done.

Any way around this issue?

Thanks,

-Phil

IIS7 – IIS Manager NAS Virtual Directory Authentication Error

JAltrichter — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:41:20 GMT

I am receiving an error in IIS Manager on some of the IIS7 computers in a server farm when accessing virtual directory that resides on NAS (as \\IPaddress\share\). The message is: “Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.” This error occurs when attempting to expand the IIS Manager content tree view for the virtual directory.

If you select the virtual directory in the tree view, then click Basic Settings on the Actions frame, and then select Test Settings button, the Test Connection form will report that the specified users credentials are Valid.

Also, I am able to browse to content on the virtual directory using IE8 (such as http://localhost/(virtual-directory)/xxx.htm , so the redirect to the virtual directory on the NAS is being served properly.

For background, the IIS7 boxes are all in a local work group accessing the NAS directory via a secured local account. The account security credentials used to access the share are the same on the IIS7 box and the NAS. The virtual directory is a under the Default Web Site.

Lastly, The Edit Permissions actions on the default directory is not working correctly on the 2 servers out of 6 in this test bed that have this error. Instead of bringing up a properties dialogue for "Directory(\\IPaddress)" it loads properties for "System32"

I have also reviewed IIS post (http://forums.iis.net/t/1157234.aspx), but I am at a loss to see the difference between the two sets of servers regarding users, virtual directory or App Pool configuration.

Thanks for any input,

Jim

FTP Virtual Directories have stopped working

russellw — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:31:46 GMT

Our FTP Server is set to User Isolation Mode. The root points to c:\inetpub\ftp. Within this is a directory localuser.

Within \localuser are some directories which are true home directories and some which are there as place holders for virtual directories, eg

c:\inetpub\ftp\localuser\MyHome1
c:\inetpub\ftp\localuser\MyVirtual1 - which maps to c:\somefolder\xyz

each folder in localuser has a user login assigned.

All worked fine until I yesterday when I added a new virtual folder (that's all I can think of that was done on the server). Now the virtual directories just don't work and only show the place holder directories.

Any ideas would be gratefully received.

IIS 7.0 and FTP 7.5 Script to create FTP Virtual Directories Help!

panka — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 04:42:49 GMT

I installed WS08R2 with the IIS 7.0 and FTP7.5, I am trying to run VBS script to create FTP virtual directories. The script worked for the IIS6.0 and earlier versions of FTP. There are no webservices installed and the ID is 1 for the FTP service. After the script failed, I installed the compatibility package with IIS6.0 and tried to run the script again, but with no luck.

Is the process to accessing IIS Objects and accessing metabase information is still the same?

Set objIIS = GetObject( "IIS://localhost/MSFTPSVC/1/Root/" & vDirName )

Set objIIS2 = GetObject( "IIS://localhost/MSFTPSVC/1/Root/" )

Set vDirObj = objIIS2.Create( "IISFtpVirtualDir", vDirName )

linking apache virtual directory to IIS7?

HydroDude — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 23:19:13 GMT

The situation is that the main web server is running LAMP, however we do have a need to run a secondary server running IIS, but we do not want a different URL. Instead the desired effect is to have LAMP serve the main pages, and IIS serve one directory only, see

example.com/ <~~~ LAMP
example.com/windows-server <~~~ IIS

I realize that this is the IIS forum, and not a LAMP forum, but I figure that someone may have experience with this type of setup and what needs to be done on the IIS end to make that work.

To complicate matters, it would be useful if one could reach

example.com/windows-server/this-page.asp

and it would actually work properly, as opposed to the LAMP server attempting to process an asp page and that not working out.

Basically what I need to do is map a virtual directory on Apache to and IIS7 directory. ANy suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Redirect Issue with Virtual Directory

woordy2000 — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 01:47:05 GMT

I have my a virtual directory located in C:/mypath. I have a created a virtual directory under my Web site-->Stuff-->App

so on the browser I can go to www.mydomain.com/stuff/app

I can access www.mydomain.com/stuff/app/default.apx . The problem when I click a button a click an event that should redirect me to back to default.aspx, IIS send me back to www.domain.com/stuff/default.aspx and ignoes the /app section. This is not a valid path and so I get apage not found error.

Also all my references are thrown off because of this.

In my local machine everything is working fine.

Any suggestions.

Problem with setting up virtual directories

niklas_arbin — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 08:22:57 GMT

Hi,

We've been running our CMS system on IIS6 and are now planning to move to IIS7, however there is one problem I have yet to find a solution for.

The way the cms works is dependent on virtual folders. A default installation will be installed with a virtual directory called secure that points to the root of the site. (Both the root and /secure are pointing to the same physical location).

The cms system also handles sub-sites (www.foo.com/subsite), that also uses virtual directories to point the /subsite virtual folder to the root.

Problem is that I'm running in to all sorts of problems with the web config, and right now I'm at a loss on how to solve this issue. I can get the defualt website up, but then I cannot access /secure and vice versa.

(The CMS is our own system and I can modify the code to some extent, but to rewrite the entire site handling is quite a big task)

Anyone who have experience with this, or has any helpful suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Regards Niklas
