At my day job we have load balanced web servers which talk to load balanced app servers via web services (and lately WCF). At any given time, we have 4-6 different teams that have the ability to add new web sites or services or consume existing services. We probably have about 20-30 different web applications and corresponding services. ...
I ran into an issue with an IIS web app shutting down an idle worker process. The next request would then have to re-initialize the application, leading to delays. I disabled the IIS shutdown of idle worker processes on the application pool to resolve this. Are there any issues associated with turning this off? If the process is leak...
I work in a windows environment and would prefer to deploy code to IIS. At the same time I would like to code in python. Having read that IIS can run fastCGI application, I went to the IIS site where it describes in detail how to get PHP up and running but not much about anything else.

I'm doing something bad in my ASP.NET app. It could be the any number of CTP libraries I'm using or I'm just not disposing something properly. But when I redeploy my ASP.NET to my Vista IIS7 install or my server's IIS6 install I crash an IIS worker process. I've narrowed the problem down to my HTTP crawler, which is a multithreaded beas...

I'm looking at a new computer which will probably have vista on it. But there are so many editions of vista; are there any weird restrictions on what you can run on the various editions? For instance you couldn't run IIS on Windows ME. Can you still run IIS on the home editions of vista? ...

Everything works great when running from visual studio, but when I roll it out to IIS, I get the following error: Request ErrorThe server encountered an error processing the request.

I'm a PHP developer, but honestly my knowledge of server management is somewhat lacking. I fired off a script today that took a regrettably long time to run, and because it had an embedded call to ignore_user_abort(), pressing "stop" in the browser was obviously futile. There was a time limit of 15 minutes enforced in the FastCGI setting...
Running into a problem where on certain servers we get an error that the directory name is invalid when using Path.GetTempFileName. Further investigation shows that it is trying to write a file to c:\Documents and Setting\computername\aspnet\local settings\temp (found by using Path.GetTempPath). This folder exists so I'm assuming this ...

How do you stop the "Default SMTP Virtual Server" from sending bounce messages for email addresses that you don't have? i.e. I'm using IIS' SMTP server to handle my email and if an email is sent unknown at mydomain.com a bounce email with 'address not known' (or something like that) is sent back to the sender. I want it to silently fail...
I'm working on a simple ASP.Net page (handler, actually) where I check the value of the LOGON_USER server variable. This works using Visual Studio's built-in web server and it works in other sites deployed to the live intranet site. But it doesn't work on the IIS instance on my local XP machine. How can I fix it, or what's going on if...

I am working on an ASP.NET web application, it seems to be working properly when I try to debug it in Visual Studio. However when I emulate heavy load, IIS crashes without any trace -- log entry in the system journal is very generic, "The World Wide Web Publishing service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 4 time(s)." How is it po...
