I have a Web Service running on IIS and I want to access a mapped network folder. How will I inform IIs for the mapping..
If I try to use the UNC path it outputs the error "current format not supported"...
Thank you
If you're running Windows Server 2008 or Window 7 you can try to create a link to the UNC path.
mklink /D D:\IISFolder \\servername\sharediisfolder
The server share can then access D:\IISFolder.
If you're on older windows servers use
net use

I try to install an ASP.NET application to IIS on Windows Server 2019.
The application is built against NET 4.7.1, and it works just fine on IIS in Windows Server 2012 and 2016.
However, when I try to install it on new server running Windows Server 2019, the problems starts from the configuration phase.
Specifically:
I copy the app with all the files in a folder on new server (2019)
I create the appPool, using ApplicationIdentity, enable 32 bit access
I create the web application, set to path the folder, set the appPool
to my newly created apppool
I set the permissions to read / write access for IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool
But I cannot even do any further configuration in IIS Management.
When I try to edit any config option (default page, etc, etc) IIS manag gaves me error that it cannot access the web.config file
I even set temporarily access rights to web app's folder to full access for everyone (!!!) - no success.
Any idea what can be?
It's possible that was an error with creating the VPS image.
I recreated it and after that everything went ok
I have a web application project in visual studio 2015. and i built it on Local iis with http://localhost/WebApplication1 URL. i can access to the project from my computer with above url but i can not access from another computer that i directly connected it to this.
I check these:
1.I can share folders from these computers.
2.I make a rule in firewall for port 80 inbound
3.I checked vs debug remote allowed in firewall
4.I checked "ping localhost" and it received ping
I use windows 10 with iis express 6
IIS Express was primarily designed to only process local requests for debug and development purposes. Though one can open it up and provide external requests with your site with a few tweaks.
In the file applicationhost.config which resides at %userprofile%\documents\iisexpress\config change your localhost to * or even the name of your machine.
Otherwise why not install IIS which allows for more tweaking of the site than express?
How to Install IIS on Windows 8 or Windows 10
I have an IIS7 server where I'm building an administrative portal. This portal is required to read and write files that exist on a Linux machine.
What do I need to do to make this happen? Do I simply need to create a virtual directory from IIS pointing to the Linux directory with a service account (application pool identity)?
Yes. Map a network drive to the linux machine and create a virtual dir pointing to the mapped drive. Make sure that proper permissions are set.
I am running a Web Service on a Windows XP pc and my goal is this service to access a folder located in the network (Samba Server) on a Linux machine.
The error that I am getting from the browser is "path format is not valid".
This means that IIS can't recognize the path at all.
My question is, whether this is a problem due to the password protection of the folder or is it a compatibility issue between IIS and Linux?
Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Thank you
I assume you granted access to the Samba share to some user ID - but which user ID?
The user under which an ASP.NET application runs is likely a machine account. Check your IIS settings for the name of that account.
I have used appcmd to create websites on my local computer. There doesn't appear to be a server parameter which means that i have to remote desktop on to each machine that i'm deploying to and run the appcmd command.
Also, can i use appcmd to deploy to IIS 6.0? If not, how do i deploy to remote IIS 6.0 web servers? I've tried the iisweb.vbs but i can't get it to run on my windows 7 computer because it can#t find the Microsoft.cmdlib. I have tired registering this file but it doesn't make a difference.
Using psexec.exe from sysinternals has worked for me to run appcmd on the IIS7 host from my administration host.
you can run a web service on the target machine, the web service should have the privileges
to add websites to the iis server (done by using System.DirectoryServices
After much searching of the internet i could not find an existing tool that needs to do what i need it to do. So in the end i had to create my own utility application that creates websites using WMI.
