I have a classic ASP style #include from a ASP.NET file as: (!-- #include file= "../../maininc.aspxinc" --) (Guess it is actually an IIS server-side include?) It is some strange caching going on. It seems like the original file is cached so that changes in maininc.aspxinc has no effect. IIS6 Expiration headers off as far as i can se...
I want to set up a reverse proxy from one of our intranet IIS sites to point to another tomcat server. Eg, i want the user to browse to 'http://our-iis-server/friendly-url' and for it to reverse proxy to 'http://our-tomcat-server/ugly-url'. What would be the best solution for this? I've narrowed it down to three options: http://www.ma...
Hi. On our production servers (win 2003 with IIS6 and load balanced with an F5 BIGIP), we have a problem when introducing wildcardmapping on IIS6. We use .net Framework 3.5 SP1. The issue manifests itself as by the server only sometimes serving the images stored on a virtual directory pointing to a UNC path. Sometimes the images are di...
I'm trying to use VS 2008 t publish a website to a virtual on my computer. The website runs just fine in VS2008 while debugging, but when I publish it, I'm getting the following error. Access to the path 'C:\dummy.xml' is denied. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Pl...
Are there any tools available to monitor all current IIS requests on a server? I have some requests that are hanging, and I'd like to be able to identify which requests are hung, and then kill those specific requests, without affecting the rest of the requests, or the server itself. I know that the IIS toolkit has a tool called "Request...
Creating a WCF Service Library in Visual Studio 2008 on Vista x64 is troublesome when referencing an x86 DLL. A service that calls a 32-bit DLL is required to have a platform target of x86 to run on a 64-bit OS. When you do this, the WcfSvcHost throws a BadImageFormatException when you attempt to debug the service. There is a bug report ...
I'm using the IISCnfg script provided to copy the metabase from a master server to other servers (10 in total) when we chang our base configuration. Here's the command I'm using: iiscnfg /copy /ts 192.168.5.nnn /tu AdminUser /tp AdminPass /sp /lm/w3svc The main problem is caused because the servers aren't on a domain so the IUSR_ is...
Hi all. I've got a weird problem. It looks like if my IIS6 locked an application's web.config. If I try to edit it, Windows complains that the web.config is used by another process. Using Process Explorer I can see that the file is owned by w3wp.exe. Removing the virtual directory and stopping the website wasn't useful at all. Any idea...

I have virtual host where I have set up an IIS 6 server. In the extensions I have added ASP.NET v1.1.4322 and ASP.NET v2.0.50727 and set them to allowed, but I still get a file not found error when using aspx files. Do I need to setup mimetypes for aspx or anything else? ...
I have 10+ apps that are on a single app pool. All these apps have some common dlls that they all load. The issue right now is that these dlls are put in the '\bin' folder for each app. So each app; even though it uses dll_a, will end up loading its own 'copy' of dll_a. I have a few questions 1) Is this ok? 2) Should i put dll_a in so...
Hi, I've developed a simple file browsing HTTP module which uses virtual paths (i.e. paths that do not actually exist on the disk). The app. runs fine on my IIS 7, but on Win 2003 the IIS does not forward the HTTP requests to my Web. application - instead it just returns "The page cannot be found" to the browser. How do I disable this ...
What's the best way to reload assemblies after you do a publish to a website and or gac some assemblies. An easy trick I've learned is to touch the web.config and it reloads the app domain. What are the best practices related to this? Is it possible to update a Server Activated Serviced Component without an IISRESET that is referenc...
I have a number of servers running PHP 5.2.6 (non-thread-safe build) on Windows 2003/IIS6 utilising FastCGI. I'm having some issues connecting to MS SQL 2000/2005 (MySQL connectivity is working fine, ASP/ASP.NET scripts can connect to MS SQL successfully as well). One solution suggests copying the SQL Client Tools ntwdblib.dll file to ...
I have a single server (Windows 2003/IIS 6). This server has a few different "Web Sites" setup in IIS. Each site is configured in IIS with a distinct host header (port 80). In addition, each site also is accessible over a specified port number (without host header). For example: MySite1: http://apps.mysite1.com or http://myserver:xx...
I am having issues with IE6 (surprise) and HTTP Compression using IIS6. I really don't want to turn off HTTP Compression for the site. Is there a way to tell IIS6 to not compress responses to specific versions of browsers? IE7 works fine. EDIT: My problem actually comes from Silverlight 2 consuming a WCF Service. With compression tu...
As a dev team, we're looking to switch to asp.net MVC and I've heard rumors about IIS 6 not being able to support all of the MVC functionality. Is this true? Is there any official set of functionality supported in IIS 7 vs IIS 6? Should we completely avoid running it on IIS6? ...
I'm having real issues trying to add multiple serverbindings to a single website using powershell! Currently i have the following code: function UpdateMetaBaseProperties($dirEntry, $Properties) { foreach($Prop in $Properties) { $KeyValue = $Prop.Split('='); $dirEntry.psbase.Invoke("Put", ($Ke...
I have tried multiple ways of grabbing the username of a current logged on user in vb.net/asp.net. I am running it on IIS 6 and understand that it will return NETWORK SERVICE for the username. I need to grab the username of the actual windows box log on. I have tried the following code: Returns NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE Dim User =...
I developed an ASP.NET page (.NET 2.0) and it works as a charm in the development environment. It is using AJAX.ASP.NET and only the shipped controls (no third-party controls). I published it to a live IIS6 web server, created the website, set up the .NET version, the application pool and the site can run scripts. I also unchecked anony...
