We have an ASP.Net web application running on IIS6 that manages its own database of users. The site itself just allows anonymous access and all authentication/security is managed using our application itself. We have a page that contains an HTML table of data that we import into Excel and is then used for Reporting purposes. The page c...
What is the best way to deploy a couple of asmx webservices to IIS. (6.0, 6.1, 7.0) The services are an optional install and I think the most convenient way to install them would be some kind of Windows Installer package. I created a small C# program that directly modifies the IIS Metabase, but this only works on IIS 6.0 and 6.1 and I do...
Hi, I want to change my hosts file to redirect a web address to my site... normally I would just do... ping mysite.com then in the hosts file, if the IP came out as 99.99.99.99, I'd write... 99.99.99.99 siteiwanttoredirect.com But in this case my site is on virtual shared hosting... which means the IP I get back from the ping is...
Im writing an IIS Application, which manages AD users. For this purpose Ive configured site to use Negitiate AuthenticationProvider, and everything works. I wonder, is NTLM suitable for operations with Active Directory (such as creating user accounts)? Or AD accepts only Kerberos authentication? ...
I have IIS SMTP set up using a Smart Host. I can send mail via .asp; but, does not send via .net. Not even writing to SMTP log. ...
Besides being a horrible programmer I can't make proper use of Google. I am making a small web site and it uses IIS7 rewrite rules. It all worked good for me until now when I need to migrate it all to Apache and its rewrite rules. Are there tools that can convert ISS rewrite rules (they are XML in web.config) to apache rewrite rules. I...
I know I've had this problem when I started working with Silverlight, but I can't for the life of me remember how to fix it. I created a new RIA service application using the standard tutorial, added a table from the database and added a grid to display the results. Works great. Now I pull open the Web properties and change the web proj...
It is said that IIS is not recommended for Comet programming. If that is true, how is it that other web servers are able to handle this vis a vis IIS. So what is it that other web servers do additionally which allows them to scale out. ...
Our process for creating a new development (get latest, setup db, setup IIS directories with permissions) environment has got a little complicated and I want to automate it. The only bit I am stuck on is creating an IIS Virtual Directory for the WCF service layer. We develop with windows XP (IIS 5.1) but will be moving to Windows 7 (I...
I have PHP for FastCGI installed on Windows 7 through the Web Platform Installer. I need to edit php.ini to enable logging, but I'm not able to overwrite the existing file, apparently because something has it open and/or locked. Stopping the server in IIS Manager doesn't help; stopping the Windows Process Activation Service and the Wor...
I recently installed Visual Studio 2010, and since installing that I can no longer connect to my local IIS. I didn't change any settings or touch anything in IIS what so ever. I cannot connect manually, nor with Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Studio 2008 Team System. Everything just gets the Unable to Connect problem. I have never face...
I have the following UDP broadcast listener running as a static component in a seperate thread on an ASP.NET web application. Why I would do this is really, unimportant, but the reason why this wont work when deployed baffles me. I do have several console applications sending UDP broadcasts, and I've coded tested and confirmed this thr...
I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I currently have a website hosted in a shared hosting environment by a third party hosting provider. As such, I do not have root access to the IIS server that this website is on. I currently have a directory on the site, such as: mysite.com/myfiles The "myfiles" directory currently has a lot of files in ...
I have a web page. When I view it under localhost it looks ok e.g. http://localhost/MySite/ is fine When I view it using the specific name of my machine one of the pages renders incorrectly e.g. http://MyMachineName/MySite/ However the Xhtml is identical. This makes no sense to me. (IIS 5/ASP.NET 3.5/XHTML Transitional) ...
I'm creating a setup project for WCF net-tcp service. One thing I came across is that I need to change "Web Site->Manage Application->Advanced settings->Enabled Protocols". It can be also done using command line: %windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set app "[Web Site Name]/[Applicaiton Name]" /enabledProtocols:http,net.tcp The proble...
I have an MVC view with a partial view recursive call that displays hierarchical data. The complete tree typically includes in the order of 500 or so items. The data is all included in the model, and the model's a trivial record class - nothing in it except auto-properties. In IIS this works fine. However in Cassini/WebDev (Visual S...
I just redeployed one of my sites today and suddenly some (but not all) of my .aspx files are redirecting to my 404 handler. I've scrutinized the security settings on the offending files, comparing them line-by-line with other .aspx files that are serving correctly, with no luck. The files 404'ing files were indeed ones I had been work...
I suspect the answer is no (or at least, not in an intelligent manner), but felt like asking. Is it possible in an asp.net HttpModule to determine the page that is going to be returned to the user, taking default page settings of IIS into account (without hardcoding them outside of IIS). For example, if a user requests http://www.examp...
To avoid mixed content warnings I would like to have a file that can be delivered under both protocols (http/https). Ie. http://www.site.com/file.js and https://www.site.com/file.js I've had a look at google analytics injection code and they use a diferent domain, i.e: http://www.google.com and https://ssl.google.com. Now I would lik...
I am working on a project that has one page that needs to make use of the SSL certificate. All of the links in the site to this page make use of https instead of http, but in the case that a user may navigate directly to the page I want the http version of the page to redirect to itself but use https. I can do a Response.Redirect in the...
