I have a problem I believe with the Metabase. I can't create a web site, or
change the configurations without getting an error message that reads "An
error occurred reading or setting a configuration parameter)". Does anyone know how to fix this? #741 - 1999.03.04
I use MMC to administrator IIS server locally and across the
Internet.
Every once in awhile I will have MMC connected to a machine and then shut it
down saving the settings in MMC. For whatever reason the IIS server is
removed, disconnected, or changes IP address. When I open up MMC it tries
to reconnect to the server. MMC takes a minute to find out that the machine
(or Admin Service) is not responding then comes into view. The problem is
that I can't disconnect the machine that has vanished, if MMC can't connect
to it, there is no node for that machine and I can't remove it. I have so
many vanished machine right now that it takes 5 minutes to MMC to come up on
my machine. What can I do? #730 - 1998.12.02
I just switched from the Microsoft Logging to the W3C logging in IIS 4.0. I noticed that W3C seems to think that the time is 7 hours later than it actually is. Its not my server time, because I can switch back and forth between different logging options and they all get the time right except for W3C.
I have set the default document search for a virtual web to be "default.asp" in IIS 4.0; however, when I delete the default.htm file for the web's root directory, I get the error: Directory listing not allowed.
If I put back in the default.htm file, it comes up fine. If I leave it in and tell IIS to look for a default document of "default.asp", THEN "default.htm", it still finds the "default.htm" file first! It seems REALLY buggy. What is the problem?
The logging options in IIS 4.0 are not avaliable. The Web Site tab has a configuration button for logging properties but clicking on it does nothing, also there are no selections avaliable from the drop down list for log format. Help! #572 - 1998.01.08
Is there a way to force a DLL to unload with IIS 4.0? I am developing a DLL in VB and testing with ASP. With IIS3 I could stop and restart the server and then recompile the component, but that does not work for IIS4. Setting the
object to Nothing in the VBScript code does not appear to work (but it could be because there are errors occurring in the code). #570 - 1997.12.10
On my main server, I can type in the name of the server with the IIS 4.0, and see the IIS server main page (books online icons, etc.). But when I click on book online, it says Access to Internet Serice Manager HTML is restricted to LocalHost - 403.6 Forbidden IP address rejected. What is the problem? #569 - 1997.12.10
I need to re-sync the password in NT domain as well as in the IIS 4.0 setup. In IIS 3.0, the settings are right in the "Service" tab of the "WWW Service Properties", I have done this several times. IIS 4.0 I could not find the settings any where inside the MMC. That's what my question is about, how in IIS 4.0 I can find to reset the password? #550 - 1997.11.05
One of our servers has been slowed to a crawl over the past week. We've finally identified the problem: it's only running 12 threads in its thread pool, but the processors are not maxed out. Effectively half of the srever is sitting idle while clients wait to get serviced! I've set the ProcessorThreadMax to 30 (it's a dual-processor box), set the ThreadCreationThreshold to 5, and the RequestQueMax to 60, yet thenumber of threads in the pool remains pegged at 12. Any ideas? The processor utiliization is around 60% for each processor-- not nearly maxed out. There's no reason that I can think of why more threads are not being created. Any ideas? #549 - 1997.10.21
I have an Active Server component written in VB5 that I am testing in IIS 4.0. After I test the .ASP page in my browser, if I change my code and try to recreate the DLL I get "this file is in use" message from the system and cannot overwrite the DLL. I can shut down the browser, but
short of killing the IIIS 4.0 processes (which doesn't seem a great idea) or rebooting (which is annoying), I can't unload the DLL. Is there some method of doing this? #536 - 1997.10.19
Under IIS 3 if a virtual directory was created and not associated with a specific IP address then that virtual directory was available to all virtual sites on that server.
Under IIS 4 however I can't seem to find this mechanism, so for each Web Site I have to create my standard virtual directories (eg Images, CGI-Bin etc). I have tries using the default web site with no IP address associated and creating the virtual directories under that but then the directories are
not available to the Web Sites (Each Web Site has it's own IP address by the way). Does any one know of a way around this please?
