Real Life Scenario, would WebDeploy Help?

argon0 — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:41:32 GMT

We have a live web site which has to be live 24x7.... We are currently going through a large rebuild program, and are trying to decide on the best ongoing deployment solution. We regularly have changes which require the site to "recompile" - leading to up to 10 minutes downtime during an update - this is unacceptable. So we need a deployment solution which will lead to a maximum of 1 minutes downtime. So far we think the best way to do this is: 1) set up a 2nd site on the Live IIS 2) Upload all new code to the 2nd site 3) Allow DFS to synchronise all web servers 4) Run recompile on all web servers 5) Test new code/site 6) Manually change IIS to point to the new code rather than the old one. And repeat for each deployment. I can see that webdeploy could help in points 2 & 3 (sync rather than dfs), and possibly 6 to switch over. Are there any other ways that WebDeploy could help, and/or any better/other tools. BTW all running on IIS 6.0 Thanks Argon0

Re: UrlScan 3.0 Querystring Scans Not Working For Me - Solution

odempsey — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:57:40 GMT

I couldn't get the ScanQueryString to work so I put the values that I wanted to block in the QueryString below [DenyQueryStringSequences] as follows:-

[DenyQueryStringSequences]
;
; If any character sequences listed here appear in the query
; string for any request, that request will be rejected.
;

< ; Commonly used by script injection attacks
> ; Commonly used by script injection attacks
--
%3b ; a semicolon
/*
@ ; also catches @@
char ; also catches nchar and varchar
alter
begin
cast
convert
create
cursor
declare
delete
drop
end
exec ; also catches execute
fetch
insert
kill
open
select
sys ; also catches sysobjects and syscolumns
table
update

seems to be working ok now. I couldn't find this problem covered anywhere else so if anyone has any further comments or suggestions please reply here or contact oliver at barrowvale dot com forward slash contact dot asp

Many Thanks

UnexpectedEntryType

spyrosn — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:21:39 GMT

Good afternoon everyone,

I have encountered a problem while trying to deploy a project to a remote PC in a different domain. My commandline is as follows (the names have been changed to protect the innocent):

msdeploy -verb:sync -source:contentPath=c:\source -dest:contentPath=c:\dest,computerName=remotePC,userName=REMOTEDOMAIN\user,password=pass

And the output is:
Error: UnexpectedEntryType '7'.
Error count: 1

What gives? I have search the length and breadth of the Internets, but this "UnexpectedEntryType 7" is shrouded by darkness.

Some additional info: The REMOTEDOMAIN\user is part of the Administrators group on remotePC. So no permissions issue here (probably...).

Would appreciate some input! :-)
Thanks in advance,
Spyros.

Two identical iis sites: one says 'The query is not updateable'

Buzz15 — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:19:44 GMT

I have an intranet webserver functioning fine on a PC with windows 2000 and a hacked version of IIS 4.0 to give 40 connections. The machine is not on a domain and does not log onto the network but is obviously accessible to site.

There is now a requirement where certain site users wish to VPN to the network and connect to the sites and the route taken was to move everything over to a dedicated webserver that is on Windows server 2003 and IIS 6. but the resulting site is sooo slow that, at present, it is not usuable ( think it may be due to it being a virtual server run by VMWare but that is another issue).

Whilst we address that, I created another site on a network XP Machine, running iis 5.1 and mapped a drive to the original Windows 2000 machine. The result is I have two sites running from the same databases: the windows 2000 is stable and fast and the XP slower and a little wobbly.

The issue I have is the XP machine will display pages but will not update any and gives the 'The query is not updateable'. The exact same web pages run fine on the other server and so I have concluded it is a permissions issue BUT...

i) I have setup/changed the IIS anonymous user of both machines to use the same name and password.

ii) Given full access to the anonymous user to the entire Windows 2000 machine that hosts the original site and MSAccess databases.

iii) The XP anonymous user has access to the Windows 2000 machine.

Does anybody have suggestions?

Many Thanks in advance

IIS6: Upload limit of 64Mb? Error 400 Bad Request

sybit — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:16:12 GMT

Hi there,

For the past two days I have tried various ways to solve this problem, but without succes.

I have IIS6 on a Windows 2003 Server with a classic ASP application. The purpose of this application is to upload large files. The first things I changed in the Metabase, was AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed. I've set this to 2Gb. Also I've changed MaxRequestEntityAllowed, AspBufferLength, SessionTimout, ConnectionTimeout, Script Timeout.

When I upload a file of 63Mb everything works fine. When I upload a file larger than 64Mb I get an error: "Error 400 Bad request". I've searched the web (a lot!) but still no solution. Who can help me?

Debugging, I have tried:
AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed=2Mb. Upload a file of 5Mb-> ERROR 500. AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed=6Mb-> no error.
AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed=100Mb. Upload a file of 60Mb -> no error
AspMaxRequestEntityAllowed=100Mb -> ERROR 400

For me it is very strange that I get a Bad Request error. Could this be a differrent setting I am missing?

MOBILE PHONE (Windows MOBILE 6.1) does not connect to server.

dkissinger — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 13:19:31 GMT

I had changed cache setting on all websites to try to reduce the amount of memory being used by IIS which backfired. It caused my working perfectly phone to nolonger connect to my server for email and even after I set cache back to what it was in the beginning it still does not connect and when I log into Exchange Web Client I get a directory list of users instead of webpages.

HELP!!

Problem with W3WP.EXE

nettscore — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 12:21:07 GMT

HI everyone,

I have a problem where after page inactivity anything from 30 seconds onwards, the next click on any part of the site seems to take ages.

It looks to me like the above exe is recycling and causing the app to have to reload???

I have set the inactivity time out to 12 hours in the application pool.

Any suggestion greatly received

IIS stopped logging after reinstall

Gertsen — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 07:32:43 GMT

I'm running 32Bit Windows Server 2003 Standard IIS 6.0

Reinstalling Windows on the server, as usual I made a backup of all IIS settings by using the "Backup/Restore Configuration" tool, and copying the two backup-files

C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\MetaBack\<backupname>.MD0
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\MetaBack\<backupname>.SC0

After reinstalling Windows, I copied those files back in, and restored the backup.

I got all my sites and settings back, and everything was good.

Now, a few weeks later, I noticed a problem: IIS has stopped logging.
Even new sites created after the reinstall dosen't log.

I tried disabling logging in IIS settings, running IISReset, then re-enable it, run IISReset again, but no luck, still no logfiles are created.

Also I verified that both the Administrators-group and the System-account has write-access to the folder used for logfiles storage.

I suspect something bad has happened to the metabase, but I don't know how to debug or repair that.

I'm quite lost, there aren't even any hints to be found in Windows' event logs...

unable to enumerate websites: object already exists

glaze — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 23:35:59 GMT

Hello,

I have been having some issues with my server since last week. Let me start from the beginning. It started when I went to boot up the server after a update install. When the computer started I got a config error while trying to load win2k server. I did as it told me, and I put in the CD and ran a repair of Win2k. This all seemed to work grand, it loaded the files and kept everything in tact DNS, MySql, Email, etc. except for IIS and my drive lettering. Now when I click on the computer name in IIS it gives me the following error.

Unable to enumerate FTP/Web Sites: Object already exists.

I reassigned the drive letters to the appropriate drives, thinking that was the problem, it wasn't. I googled the error and came up with MSKB solution here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246459

This solution still did not help. I have yet to try uninstalling IIS, copying all but the newest file from the \Documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\Machinekeys directory (which I will try this evening when I get home) to a backup, and reinstalling.

I have googled up and down and through this forum and that forum, all of these solutions seem to help everyone but myself. I really would not want to have to start fresh with a formatted partition, but right now, it seems that is going to be the case, if the uninstall/reinstall doesn't work.

If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Currently I have 3 clients whose sites are down, not to mention my own. I will post the results of my latest attempts when I get home later tonight.

Update: The reinstall seems to have worked, but now when the server starts all of the web services are stopped, and when I try to start them I get another error: "Address already in use". I think it is becuase on of the other machines in my local network is running apache. I am going to try and uninstall apache and see if that makes a difference.
