We have an ASP.NET 3.5 app running in IIS6 we're migrating to IIS7 & the integrated pipeline. Our app does some very simple URL rewriting to examine a URL like this: website.com/dealer/page.aspx stripping 'dealer' out, looking it up in the DB for context and going to page.aspx. In IIS6 this was a wildcard map. I moved the module to t...

I'm starting to move some sites to WordPress hosted in IIS7 using PHP 5.3 & FastCGI. I'm quickly finding that while the core of WordPress seems to work just fine out of the box, there are a number of plugins that have issues running in IIS and I'd like to be able to debug them, fix them, and submit patches. The only solution I've found ...

I have an ASP.NET 3.5 application that started in 1.1 and has been ported from IIS5 to IIS6 and now we're going to IIS7. Back in the 1.1 days we implemented URL-rewriting functionality based on HTTP Modules that still works great - fairly complex logic that is very stable. It allows us to take URL's like this www.abc.com/merchant and ...

When trying to load an *.aspx file for the first time (i.e. after installing site, restarting the server, etc) I...

Hi, I want all requests to http://mydomain.com to be 301 redirected to http://www.mydomain.com for SEO purposes. In order to do this, can I use IIS7's HTTP redirect method?

Greetings, I have a large .Net web app which runs on a farm of blades with the code base on a NAS. Every once in a while slight fluctuations in the response time of the nas cause .NET to think that something in the bin has changed and kick off a recycle of the app pool. No change has actually occurred. Is there a way to disable .Net's m...
