Hello! What are pros and cons of having dedicated application pools over keeping web applications in one default app pool? Thanks in advance ...
Today I changed the application pool identity of our ASP.NET application from "Network Service" to a domain user. I added the user to the local group "IIS_WPG", done a iisreset just in case, and everything works fine with IE6 and Firefox 3.0 But when I go to the website with IE7, an authentication popup appears, I type my credentials,...
Hi everyone, I'm just beginning work with IIS, .NET, etc. so I apologize if any of this is unclear. I recently installed a local instance of IIS and it's up and running just fine. I'm wondering if it's possible to point IIS to a shared windows folder that exists on another server, and have that folder serve as the root directory for IIS...
Website started life originally under IIS 6 and the site worked great there. Now after relocating to a new server running W2K8S, everything but mail delivery from the website now works great under IIS 7. Researched briefly on the Web to see if anybody had a good resolution, but no avail... Not even a glimmer of hope on Microsoft's own s...

Hello This question is related to another question which I asked yesterday! http://stackoverflow.com/questions/220796/list-all-links-in-web-site I think renaming all the .html files to .asp and changing the links is not good for SEP purposes. Some one told me that isapi plug-in can be used to redirect(301) all .html files to .asp fil...
When a RewriteRule is executed by MOD_Rewrite will all the MOD_Rewrite rules be executed again for the newly generated request? Specifically in the following example, will this cause a loop? RewriteCond Host: (?:www\.)?mysite\.com RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [QSA,L] ...
I've noticed that you can manually recycle an application pool via IIS and that doing so seems to slow down my web app significantly less than making changes to files in App_Code or the web.config file. Is this because recycling the application pool via IIS doesn't force a recompilation of the temporary internet files, but changing App_...
I've set up multiple ssl sites on iis using Servier Bindings as per this article: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/8d9f2a8f-cd23-448c-b2c7-f4e87b9e2d2c.mspx?mfr=true I have two different ssl certs for the two sites installed but when I browse to either site I get the same certificate.

Capistrano is a great solution for building scripts that automatically deploy a website and/or a database. But, it's also very *nix centric, and from I've read it would probably be more trouble than it's worth to get it working with a Windows server. Is there a similar solution that would allow me to deploy an ASP.Net website to an IIS s...

I want to configure SMTP on my web server, so that any email sent through the SMTP server is relayed to a remote SMTP Server.
