I have windows task which restarts IIS at midnight 00:00. In my application there is a background thread which runs a global refresh at around 02:00.

IIS and Glassfish in Windows 7
I installed the newest version of Windows 7. This is my development box, so I have glassfish installed, which I use for Java applications. Also, I use IIS to run PHP applications.

How can I launch an executable from an IIS-hosted WCF service?
We have a WCF service that we recently switched from self-hosting to IIS-hosted. It needs to launch an executable using Process.Start().

Deploying asp.net application to root directory in IIS
How can I deploy an asp.net application to the root of an IIS6 webserver? All the applications I've deployed before have been in directories, such as http://www.example.com/app1/. To deploy that for the first time, I've always just gone to the IIS manager, and selected "Create Application" in the properties for that folder. Now I'm tr...
How can I have Visual Studio 2008 server still server site while not debugging?
In Visual Studio 2008, I'd like to have the internal web server still serve my website on the designated port even after I've stopped debugging. In other words, if my site runs on localhost:2923 once I begin debugging, after I stop debugging I'd still like to go there to have the site run (not in debug mode). Sometimes this works and s...
SqlMembershipProvider giving different results on dev machine and server(?)
I'm trying to deploy an asp.net application. I really suck at it. Anyway, parts of it are protected using Forms Authentication using SqlMembershipProvider.

IIS virtual directory and ASP.NET directory paths
The problem I'm running into the typical virtual-directory dilemma in that you have some paths on your ASP.Net application and you deploy the app in a IIS virtual directory. Then all paths relatives to the "web root" (f.i., "/images") doesn't work because the app is in a virtual directory path. The solutions A. Make the "images" fol...
IIS cache with PURGE support
On Unix, I normally deploy nginx in front of Varnish in front of my application server. Both nginx and Varnish are acting as reverse proxies here. Varnish maintains a cache and supports things like If-Modified-Since, Cache-Control response headers and PURGE requests from the application. nginx is good at receiving a lot of connections. I...
Threadpool in IIS context
Hi. I have a general question about System.Threading.Threadpool when run in a webapplication on IIS. Say we have 2 requests execute at once, and we fire up a couple of threads through the ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem method. Will the two requests share the ThreadPool, or will the calls to the ThreadPool from the two requests operate in...
Session_End called multiple times in the middle of a session
Am I using Session_End incorrectly? In my application, I have a cache to speed up page loads, it works quite well. Recently, someone suggested to me that I was leaking memory by never emptying it out, and to implement a method on Session_End that will clear out any cache entries associated with that session id. Occasionally though I st...

Drawbacks of PHP-on-IIS?
I work in a dev environment that is currently IIS6/Server 2003 with Framework 3.5. I primarily am working in ASP.NET MVC. I've run into a scenario where, for the solution I'm working on, I'd either have to spend weeks reinventing the wheel or integrating a PHP-based opensource project into one of the components I'm building. I'd love ...
