After moving a EPI6 site to my local machine and reconfiguring it for IIS7.5 (instead of IIS6) i have a problem.
The UI Admin/Edit backend has no CSS. I suspected this was due to the virtual path mapping and i found that they where all mapped to %ProgramFiles% but on my local machine EPI is installed on %ProgramFiles(86)%. So i changed it and made sure all physical paths worked. They did.
So i felt smart and expected the CSS to load properly but no change happened.
I have tried ctrl F5 to see if its a caching problem, i have restarted the IISExpress. But still no CSS.
Any tips on something i might have forgotten?
Check using Firebug Net-tab or equivalent F12 web browser tool to see exactly which paths don't respond correctly.
Check permissions on disk for the Program Files directories in questions.
Compare Web.config to a default EPiServer IIS7 web.config to see that you have all handlers in the correct place.
I solved this.
It was not a problem of rights, but rather a configuration error. When uppgrading fom using IIS6 to IIS7.5 i forgot changing in the Web.Config:
IIS6 version
<location path="App_Themes/Default" />
to:
IIS7.5 version
<location path="App_Themes/Default">
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<clear />
<add name="wildcard" path="*" verb="*" type="EPiServer.Web.StaticFileHandler, EPiServer" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
</location>

I´m using Plesk and in Web scripting and statistics I have Microsoft ASP support in ON.
I uploaded a application (which works correctly in my PC) to a directory and it can be shown but when I go to the aspx file it shows me the 404 error (The path is the correct).
I noticed that some files in "shtml" extension are neither shown by the server.
This is my very first time with ASP.NET, ISS8 and Plesk. I don´t know what to do. I will thank you for your help
You have to set the HTTP Handler Extension. If you have no access to IIS directly, you could do on the web.config:
Open the Web.config file for the application, locate the httpHandlers element of the system.web section and add an entry for the file-name extension
Example:
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="SampleHandler" verb="*"
path="SampleHandler.new"
type="SampleHandler, SampleHandlerAssembly"
resourceType="Unspecified" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
For more configuration options please refer to:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb515343.aspx
and
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/46c5ddfy(v=vs.100).aspx
Check also the Custom Handler Policy of Plesk that should not be enabled:
https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/onyx/administrator-guide/plesk-administration/securing-plesk/custom-handlers-policy.76787/
Here I've found also another interesting document:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/configuration/system.webserver/handlers/
Scroll down and you'll find a piece of code to add the handlers programmatically, even if I suggest you to add them in your web.config
My Asp.net application is hosted over Azure Cloud,
In that application I do have a Java Chat control, which has its server on Linux,
now I have created a HTTPHandler to redirect that chat request to the Linux server, but some how it doesn't work over the Cloud environment (though it works very well on web environment)
it shows the below error
Microsoft Visual Studio
Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio
There was an error attaching the debugger to the IIS worker process for URL 'http://127.255.0.0:82/' for role instance 'deployment16(315).Cloud.AnotherHttpHandler_IN_0'. Unable to start debugging on the web server. See help for common configuration errors. Running the web page outside of the debugger may provide further information.
Make sure the server is operating correctly. Verify there are no syntax errors in web.config by doing a Debug.Start Without Debugging. You may also want to refer to the ASP.NET and ATL Server debugging topic in the online documentation.
I have even put the Handler under System.webServer as well in the web.config file, see below code
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="*" path="http-bind/*"
type="HelloWorldHandler"/>
</httpHandlers>
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add verb="*" path="http-bind/*" name="HelloWorldHandler" type="HelloWorldHandler"/>
</handlers>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />
</system.webServer>
I don't know what restricts it over the cloud environment.
Please take a look at this question to see how to configure httpHandlers for running in Azure.
Most importantly - remove the httpHandlers section under the system.web and leave only handlers under system.webServer. Then add also the resourceType="Unspecified" attribute to the handler declaration. This should solve your issue.
I too had same problem.
I fixed it in following way .
The Problem was my machine is 32 bit and the azure server is 64 bit.
In Order to solve the problem i only changed Enable 32 bit option in
the advance setting of application pool. And the Original code worked
out fine.
i got this help from this Link
We have a site running on MOSS 2007 which makes calls to custom web service asmx methods on the same domain from the client.
At first everything works fine, but after a bit of time has passed the service will start to fail with:
http://[domain]/_layouts/error.aspx?ErrorText=Request format is unrecognized for URL unexpectedly ending in %27%2FIsSuspectWaterLevel%27.
Interestingly enough
http://[Domain]/_vti_bin/Custom/CustomFunctionality.asmx?op=IsSuspectWaterLevel
is still available, but a call to
http://[Domain]/_vti_bin/Custom/CustomFunctionality.asmx/IsSuspectWaterLevel
will fail as described.
We've found that "touching" C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\12\ISAPI\ web.config will bring the webservice back to life.
The asmx file lives at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\ISAPI\ECan\MyECan_ComplianceWaterUsage.asmx
Any ideas of what might be going on here and how to resolve them?
Some extra detail:
App pool settings in case they're useful: http://i51.tinypic.com/x51qw.png
The following web.config settings are present in the root and sub directory hosting the asmx:
<system.web>
<webServices>
<protocols>
<add name="HttpSoap" />
<add name="HttpGet" />
<add name="HttpPost" />
</protocols>
</webServices>
...
</system.web>
We are calling the web service from javascript (jQuery). I've checked all the settings mentioned in this link and all match. I think calling from javascript may not be the culprit though as going directly to
[domain]/_vti_bin/Custom/CustomFunctionality.asmx/IsSuspectWaterLevel
with parameters supplied also fails with the same error - no javascript involved. Failing after a short period of time has passed, but works fine when web.config has just been "touched" again.
Thanks in advance for any help! Cheers, Gavin
I'm currently working on the same problem, and I think you barked the wrong tree.
The problem is, that in the ISAPI folder of SharePoint is a web.config with the following lines:
<webServices>
<protocols>
<remove name="HttpGet"/>
<remove name="HttpPost"/>
<remove name="HttpPostLocalhost"/>
<add name="Documentation"/>
</protocols>
</webServices>
The problem is, that the desired protocols POST and GET will be removed for the entire ISAPI folder and its subfolders. I also tried to reactivate the protocols via
<location path="[Path to my Web Service].asmx" allowOverride="false">
<webServices>
<protocols>
<add name="HttpGet"/>
<add name="HttpPost"/>
</protocols>
</webServices>
</loaction>
in different places (machine.config, web.config of root folder, web.config app.config, ...), but it didn't last.
The only thing that worked, was, to change the "remove" items in the web.config of the ISAPI folder to "add" items.
But this has the nasty side effect, that the built-in web services, like "Lists.asmx" throw errors if you try to request their documentation pages...
If you can live with that, this would be your solution. I can't, so I still try to figure out a way to make my
<add name="protocol">
items persistent.
By the way: Also adding lockItem="true" to the <add/> items didn't do the trick...

It has been awhile since I have touched Sharepoint so this is a shot in the dark. If I remember correctly modifying anything in the web.config will restart the website in IIS. So what you may be seeing is IIS restarting the website that hosts the webservice putting it back into a good state.
Do you have the following in the web.config for the web application?
<webServices>
<protocols>
<add name="HttpGet"/>
<add name="HttpPost"/>
</protocols>
</webServices>
This is a strange problem and hard to diagnose due to the number of occcurances of the 12 hives web.config protocols issue which would appear to resolve 99% of the cases of this issue.
There is another issue called URL rewriting that will cause this
problem.
Some reverse proxy devices can modify the path of a request (the
portion of the URL that comes after the hostname and port number) in
such a way that a request sent by the user to
http://www.contoso.com/sharepoint/default.aspx, for example, is
forwarded to the Web server as
http://sharepoint.perimeter.example.com/default.aspx.
This is referred to as an asymmetrical path. Windows SharePoint
Services 3.0 does not support asymmetrical paths. The path of the URL
must be symmetrical between the public URL and the internal URL. In
the preceding example, this means that the "/sharepoint/default.aspx"
portion of the URL must not be modified by the reverse proxy device.
Even more depressing is that microsoft knows about this and actively refuses to support it.

An inelegant workaround to this issue that works for us: We've swapped out the web service asmx end point for a web handler ashx endpoint. This doesn't suffer the same issue for some reason.
I'm guessing from this that there's some issue creeping in after a period of time which is causing urls to resolve incorrectly. I suspect that the / after the .asmx in the url is the curprit. The ashx endpoint implemented is working purely on url parameters and posted data.
Obviously this work around won't always be an option for others who might experience the same issue as we're loosing a lot of the rich web service functionality that's pre-baked in to an asmx endpoint.
Unfortunately I won't be able to test any other solutions that people might put forward from now on as we've moved away from the web service asmx approach. Sorry. Thanks for all the suggestions though - it's been very much appreciated!
Forgive me if this is basic. I've never made one before and can't seem to figure out why it's not working. I wrote a little handler to do some parsing on CSS files. I added this:
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<remove verb="*" path="*.css"/>
<add verb="*" path="*.css"
type="MyNameSpace.CssRelativePathHandler,CssRelativePathHandler" />
</httpHandlers>
</system.web>
Nothing ever happens. CSS files get parsed normally. No errors, nothing, the code never runs. What am I missing? Shouldn't this cause the handler to be used when *.css files are served? (I added the "remove" later, since I thought perhaps I needed to do that to override a built-in hander, again, no difference either way).
This is IIS 6. I added the IIS 7 code anyway (after searching for answers) but makes no difference.
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="CssHandler" verb="*" path="*.css"
type="MyNameSpace.CssRelativePathHandler,CssRelativePathHandler" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
You need to configure IIS6 to send requests for .css files to ASP.Net.
Had you been using IIS7, your <system.webServer> element would have done that for you, but IIS6 predates this.
For IIS 6 you need to have to tell it to send *.css files to ASP.NET.
Launch IIS Manager
Right-click on Default Web Site
Click on the Home Directory tab
Under Application Settings click on Configuration...
Add a new association for .css and map it to .NET executable:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll
It sounds like you need to configure IIS to enable ASP.NET to execute the .css extension.
Phil Haack has a walkthrough on doing that (just replace .mvc with .css under the heading "Mapping .mvc to ASP.NET"):
http://haacked.com/archive/2008/11/26/asp.net-mvc-on-iis-6-walkthrough.aspx
Or you can set up a wildcard mapping in IIS 6:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/5c5ae5e0-f4f9-44b0-a743-f4c3a5ff68ec.mspx?mfr=true
I'd recommend going with the first method as doing the wildcard approach will send all requests to ASP.NET - so it has a more overhead.
PS: Further down Phil's post, he also lists "IIS6 Extension-less URL" and also covers the wildcard mapping method.
is it possible to prevent browsing of a folder contents in an ASP.NET web application other than creating a default page, say using web.config?
I would like to avoid using IIS for this if possible.
Thanks
If you are using IIS7, you can use web.config files for this. Specify a <location> tag for the desired folder, and give it a <directoryBrowse> sub-tag, ie:
<location path="path to your folder">
<system.webServer>
<directoryBrowse enabled="false" />
</system.webServer>
</location>
The previous answer system.webServer -> directoryBrowse is new and can be used when your site is running under IIS7 (be it debugging or otherwise) only, it will not work in IIS6. In IIS6 you need to do it using the IIS management console.
