Appcmd help on text string carriage return line feed

brandon.mcgarvey — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:50:17 GMT

I am trying to add a carriage return line feed to a string value on my FTP site via appcmd. I am trying to add a banner message like this:

%windir%\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set site MyFTPSite /ftpServer.messages.bannerMessage:"Warning! Unauthorized use is strictly prohibited."

I wish to have a carriage return, line feed after "Warning!", but I cannot figure out what escape characters to use for a carriage return, line feed. When I add the welcome message with CR/LF through the IIS MMC, this is how it looks in the applicationHost.config:

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

FTP command filtering using appcmd

brandon.mcgarvey — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:24:17 GMT

I am trying to figure out how to add FTP command filters using appcmd.exe. I just flat out do not understand the syntax for the command. The syntax that I believe I need to use is one of these:

appcmd.exe set site MyFTPSite /ftpServer.security.commandFiltering.[command='string'].command

appcmd.exe set site MyFTPSite /ftpServer.security.commandFiltering.[command='string'].allowed

My goal is to deny MKDIR command. I tried the command below, but it tells me that it cannot find requested collection element. How do I add an element to the collection. I am familiar with adding collections with "appcmd set config", but this method doesn't seem the same.

appcmd.exe set site MyFTPSite /ftpServer.security.commandFiltering.[command='MKDIR'].allowed:"false"

If someone can reply back with an example of the syntax, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Possible bug: Unable to set the "debug" attribute in the "compilation" section in web.config

kevin_k — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:41:43 GMT

There seems to be a bug in the APPCMD tool that prevents me from changing the "debug" attribute of the "compilation" section of a web.config file. I can change other attributes such as "batch" and "defaultLanguage" but the "debug" attribute refuses to change.

For example, the following commands work just fine:

appcmd set config "MySite" -section:compilation /batch:false
appcmd set config "MySite" -section:compilation /defaultLanguage:"c#"

But changing the "debug" attribute doesn't:

appcmd set config "MySite" -section:compilation /debug:false
appcmd set config "MySite" -section:compilation /debug:true

I've even tried more explicit section paths:

appcmd set config "MySite" -section:system.web/compilation /debug:false
appcmd set config "MySite" -section:system.web/compilation /debug:true

I have confirmed this to be the case on IIS7.0 running on Windows 2008 Standard Edition SP2 and IIS 7.5 running on Windows 7 Ultimate Edition.

I also checked the schema file for ASP.NET (C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\schema\ASPNET_schema.xml) and there is no restriction on this setting.

Thanks

Re: Redirects in IIS7 propagating out to all other redirect sites?

SQLRocks — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:03:15 GMT

I responded earlier to this with the suggestion of using a unique directory for each site, which does work.

I'm now using a different technique which is to store the actual redirection configuration at a higher level (applicationhost.config) instead of the site's web.config file. This allows multiple redirection sites all with the same home directory and yet each can have it's own unique URL that it redirect to.

Here's an example of the the AppCmd I used to have a site (call it "xxxx") redirect to http://yyyy.com without making/changing the web.config file in the site's home directory.

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config "xxxx" -section:system.webServer/http
Redirect -enabled:true -destination:http://yyyy.com -httpResponseStatus:Permanent -commitpath:apphost

I want to use appcmd to put <clear /> element into defaultDocument

brewbill03 — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:19:38 GMT

I am trying to set up the same web site on multiple computers. I want to use a bat file to configure default documents. The site has several applications in different virtual directories that are directly under wwwroot. I am using appcmd like this:

"%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe" set config "Default Web Site/Mytest" -section:defaultDocument /+files.[@start,value='index.php'] /commit:"Default web site"

"%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe" set config "Default Web Site/Yourtest" -section:defaultDocument /+files.[@start,value='index.php'] /commit:"Default web site"

to set up two apps. This gives me the following web.config under wwwroot:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <location path="Mytest">
        <system.webServer>
            <defaultDocument>
                <files>
                    <add value="start.php" />
                </files>
            </defaultDocument>
        </system.webServer>
    </location>
    <location path="Yourtest">
        <system.webServer>
            <defaultDocument>
                <files>
                    <add value="index.php" />
                </files>
            </defaultDocument>
        </system.webServer>
    </location>
</configuration>

Slick (took me forever to get this far). ALMOST what I'm looking for. I could live with this but I'd like to add a clear element:

<files>

to the config. Can anyone tell me how to do this using appcmd?

appcmd exit codes

jamescpk — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 00:45:02 GMT

Looking for a list of appcmd exit codes, if it exists. I have a vbscript that checks for the appcmd exit code of 0 or non-zero. e.g. "ReturnCode = wshshell.run appcmd..." returning success for 0 and error for non-zero codes. I would like to know what the exit codes stand for.

Thank you, James

How do I reference a site by ID using IIS7 APPCMD?

kevin_k — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 15:52:24 GMT

I know how to reference a site by name to stop and start it? For example:


appcmd stop site /site.name:"Microsoft SharePoint Administration"

How do I reference a site using its IIS ID? I tried these variations:


 appcmd start stop /site.id:2
 appcmd start stop /site.id:"2"
 appcmd start stop /site.id:2
 appcmd start site /section:sites /[id='2']

However they all return the following error:


ERROR ( message:Must specify the SITE object with identifier. )

Thanks

Setting Authentication on a Folder Under a Virtual Directory using Appcmd or Microsoft.Web.Administration in IIS7

robblis — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 23:07:38 GMT

I've been trying to find a way using scripting (appcmd) or the Microsoft.Web.Administration class in C# to change the Authentication settings on a Folder under a Virtual directory.

Does anybody have an idea how to do this?

Thanks, Rob

Re: How to translate a IISAPP.vbs command to IIS7 Appcmd.exe

davcox — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 19:32:36 GMT

This will show you the details:
appcmd apppool /?

This will do the equivalent:
appcmd recycle apppool "MyAppPool"

Re: appcmd backup bug?

davcox — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:28:44 GMT

Hmm, it looks like you may have found a bug ... basically AppCMD is hardcoded to look at the default History location, rather than look up the history location from config and then reference that location.

Perhaps you can trick AppCMD by creating an alias in the "default" History folder that maps to your custom folder.
