I am attempting to log user activity for a couple internal websites as well as our SharePoint sites. I use JavaScript to make a call (GET) to an ashx page (HTTPHandler) that returns a 1x1 invisible GIF. The HTTPHandler grabs the referring URL, browser info, ip address, the action (sent as a QueryString), and (the part I'm strugging with)...

Hello, I've recently had my PC upgraded to Vista, which means it includes IIS7. The problem is that the ASP.NET website we're working on doesn't work anymore.

For example, http://www.mysite.com/bla.aspx > redirects to 404 page but http://www.mysite.com/App_Code/ > displays "The system cannot find the fi...
In our setup there are two different websites in IIS 7 setup that point to the same physical path. One with the binding http://websitename.domain.com/ (virtual root ~ is /) and the second at https://webserver.domain.com/userid/websitename (so the virtual root ~ is /userid/websitename). We use the second for secure aspects of each websi...

Accessing http://localhost:8080/%7c o...

Ok, this has got to be a super simple problem. I just can't seem to find the answer anywhere. First - I'm not a web developer of any kind, I'm an old school c programmer - so don't flame me for what's probably something quite trivial :) I need to write a small proof-of-concept web app using ASP.NET. My first attempt here is to create...

What I want is for the MSI to automatically disable Anonymouse Access for that virtual folder in IIS. I suspect it can probably be done by writing some code in a custom action DLL, tha...
Hello, For the project I'm working on I noticed that file transfer* speed is really bad if I'm using IIS FTP and HTTP services. I know that the last thing I should think is "it's a Windows bug", but the fact that simply by using IIS on Windows Server or by changing IIS on that Windows XP machine to FileZilla and LightHTTPd, my file tran...

For my IIS website, I'd like to redirect ALL requests to ONE page. The purpose of this is that I want to do some maintenance on the database (take it off-line) that all my web applications use. I have about 50 web apps running under this website, so I'd like to avoid visiting each of them to change something. I'm thinking I could make a...
