I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'm developing on XP using Studio 2005/IIS. Thus far, this has been problem free for me; until today. I needed to add an SSL cert so I could finish development for a part of the site that runs in SSL using sessions that are only allowed in secure mode. So, I install the cert and fire up studio...
I have an ASP.NET webpage running under IIS that uses a common assembly that contains a singleton class. Should I implement a locking mechanism on the singleton to make it thread-safe? Or, will any connection to the webserver use the same instance of the singleton? Hopefully I'm asking this coherently. ...
By default, IIS6 does not serve .json (no wildcard MIME type). Therefore a 404 not found is thrown. I then add a new MIME type (.json, text/plain or application/x-javascript or application/json) which works fine. However, when you then add a new mapping (Home Directory -> Configuration -> Add) with .json, C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\as...

I'm developing an ASP.NET 2.0 application that includes Crystal Reports (version 10, included with VS 2005). Originally, the reports were working properly, both when run from my machine using the ASP.NET development web server, and also when deployed to an IIS server. I made some changes to the reports and re-deployed the app to the II...

I'm still fairly new to ASP.NET development so bear with me. I'm going to start development on an updated version of an ASP.NET 1.1 website, which I will develop in ASP.NET 3.5. Currently, my development server allows me to run web sites on 1.1 and 2.0. I've had the 3.5 framework installed, but is there any other configuring/issues I sh...
I’ve got an issue with loading a particular X509 certificate within an ASP.NET application (i.e. not through IIS for https). I’ve loaded it into my ‘Personal’ and ‘Trusted Root’ stores on my local machine (through the MMC snap in) but can’t load it from either store. It seems the NETWORK SERVICE account doesn’t have permissions to read/...

There are some options: Run tracd Run Apache with mod_python Run tracd with AJP Protocol and the isapi-redirector We tend to integrate Trac with IIS and the isapi-redirector. What would you suggest? ...
I am making an HTTP connection to an IIS web server and sending a POST request with the data encoded using Transfer-Encoding: chunked. When I do this, IIS simply closes the connection, with no error message or status code. According to the HTTP 1.1 spec, All HTTP/1.1 applications MUST be able to receive and decode the "chunked" tran...

Presently, I am working on a project using classic ASP. My development machine is Vista Enterprise. Although Vista does allow you to have multiple Web Sites (not without a workaround in XP), it has removed the SMTP service from IIS. Is there a standard workaround for this issue? As more web developers at my company receive new machine...

I've got a problem in that changing the way I'm doing Url Rewriting in an Asp.Net application has changed the IIS log files from looking like this: /page/ 80 etc.. /page/anotherpage/ 80 etc... to default.aspx page=1 80 etc... default.aspx page=2 80 etc... I'm a bit stumped as to how this happened. Is there a setting I'm missing (Win...
The title pretty much says it all. Some caveats are: I need to be able to do it in C# It needs to be able to be done from a remote server (ie, running on one server, checking IIS on another) Needs to be close to real-time (within 1 second) Can use WMI calls I've tried watching the log file, but it turns out that isn't nearly close en...
