I've copied a whole folder which keeps a website inside from a web server to another computer.From the original server I can easily run the web application. Now I need to know what exactly I have to do in order to be able to run the application on the second computer too. I think there are some special considerations with IIS. What and how do I have to set up in IIS?
Follow these steps.
create a new site from left menu By right clicking and add new website.
Give physical path to that folder
Map with the site url
Give permissions to Directory as (like everyone)
Set up the default page if (index page is not present in the directory)
Set framework which ever you are using.
Install the IIS Windows component for whatever version of Windows you're using.
Create a new site in IIS
Point this new site to your web root
Configure DNS for the site (maybe using your hosts file)
There are some considerations to make depending on which version of IIS you are using. It would be helpful to know if you are using 6 or 7.
If you are under 7, you need to copy the site to your IIS directory (typically wwwroot) and then setup the basic settings in IIS by choosing your application pool and such. Application pools are typically (but not always) setup by .Net Framework. You may need to setup your default page and set it as an application. There are many blogs and sites out there that will tell you how to setup this basic functionality but are specific to your application.
For configuring IIS
1. Firstly, in Programs and features go to Turn on and off windows features...in that tick everything under IIS..go to sub folder and tick everything everywhere
Go to Internet Explorer> Setting> Internet Options> Advanced> untick Show friendly http error messages option
Go to IIS manager
a. In default application pool> advanced settings > Set true enable 32-bit program option
b. Go to Asp> setting> expand debugging properties> there will an option of error messages some 2nd last or last option that would be false...set it to true..apply changes
Run vbscript and asp only in Internet Explorer (edge 10 in developer options for pop ups)

I am new in Asp.Net
I have enabled features of IIS 7 on my windows system and able to see IIS manager.
I created an application but build/run application through visual studio it goes to browser and run the application with different port number. When i stop build/run application through visual studio and again i refresh browser application could not run.
I want to run application without visual studio. How to do this.
It gives this : http://localhost:9864/
To configure IIS with a new website follow these instructions:
Open IIS manager, right click Sites (At the right menu) and click Add Website
Give the site a Site Name, The physical path on your machine, and a Host Name
There are some conventions as for what website physical path to choose you can read about it in this SO question
In Windows Explorer go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and Edit the hosts file
Add this line at the end of the file:
127.0.0.1 your-chosen-host-name-from-iis-ie-localhost.testsite.com
And save the file
Thats about it. You can open your browser and browse the Host Name you chosen for your website or in IIS right click your site and click Manage Website - Browse
Important note
If you wish to use the same address as your VS uses (http://localhost:9864/) then on step 2 leave the Host Name textbox blank and instead change the Port textbox to your desired port (9864). In this case you can also ignore step 3.
As a site note:
If you installed IIS on your machine after the VS installation you might get some conflicts. You might be able by this stage to browse to static content as html but not .NET resources like aspx files. If by browsing to .NET files you get a message saying The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration you can solve it with this SO question
I have just completed my website and I started working with IIS it works fine when I put all my file without published. I copy the whole website to wwwroot inside my folder as I said It works fine but when I tried to work without code behind page it didn't work I published website from VS. and I copy my published file to the same folder but it doesn't work.
I received this error:
Eval is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.
I don't want to put my code behind page. How can I run my published pages?
First, when you publish your web project, their are no code behind pages.
Do this, set a directory and publish your site in it.
Now cmd-> intemgr->
site-> -> add web site->
give site name and select an application pool, then set the physical path to the directory where your application is published, if necessary change the port to something like 50 because 80 is a standard port for http. Hit ok. Your site is ready.
Please check in application pool that your application pool is set to .Net framework version V4.0 (i mean the version compatible to your app ).
just click to browser the site, please do check the uri you can see the port number also
I have a sitecore site running on .NET 4.0 and IIS 7.5 on Windows 7 machine.
While setting up sitecore, I had installed only the sitecore client and then set up IIS7. I think some permissions have got messed up because of that.
Whenever I try to change a code file in my website in Visual Studio, it gives me a message that I don't have any permissions to modify the files. I can overwrite the existing one, however, this is not normal.
Also, I have ApplicationPoolIdentity set as my Identity for my Application Pool. Whenever I try to go to sitecore desktop it doesn't work, however I can go to content editor upon login. Even after logging in, if I try to go to sitecore desktop mode like /sitecore/shell/default.aspx, the page never loads and the progress wheel just keeps spinning.
It happens in FF, Chrome and IE so it can't be a browser issue.
I checked the permissions of various folder and they all look fine. System, Administrator and Local computer user have full control on the website folder and the files and folders underneath it.
It would be great if someone can help in trying to figure out the right configuration and settings for my website folder.
Firstly, as per the best practice of installing Sitecore, we should set the identity as NetworkService.
So please do 2 things:
Change the Identity in Application Pool as Network Service
Make sure that Website and all its descendants + the Data Folder and all its descendants have Read & Write access for Network Service.
Mostly this should work.
Regards,
Varun Shringarpure
Does IUSR have "Read" permissions on the \Website folder and on all descendants?
Additionally, you may want to look at the Sitecore logs under the \Data\logs folder. You may be having a database connectivity issue that may show up there.
I have a site running in IIS 7.5 that is accessed using a DNS alias different from the actual server name. In IE 8, integrated authentication is failing, but in Firefox and Chrome everything works fine. (IE presents a credential challenge a few times, then displays a 401.1 error page.)
I have figured out that this is due to IE using Kerberos (aka "Negotiate") over NTLM, and Kerberos requires registering a Service Principal Name (using SETSPN) so that the mismatch between the DNS name and the server name is properly handled.
My web site, however, doesn't need impersonation--it is enough to have delegation. So instead of messing with SetSPN, I would just like to remove "Negotiate" from the list of WindowsAuthentication methods in IIS.
I have searched for quite some time to find out how to do this in IIS. I have played with many appcmd commands--but I just can't find online examples, or figure out how by reading MSDN documentation or using appcmd /? to make appcmd commands apply only to a particular application within a site rather than to the entire web server. A few search-hours later over two days, and at least 3 dozen web pages visited, I am still coming up fruitless.
How in tarnation do I get this done--it seems like it should be so easy!
Open the Configuration Editor in IIS. It comes with IIS 7.5, or you can download the IIS administration pack for IIS 7.0. Navigate to the scope you want to affect (server, site, or application) and then open the icon:
.
Change the Section to system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication:
Click on the providers item, and then click Edit Items on the right. Select the "Negotiate" item and click "Remove":
Close the dialog and click Apply in the Actions pane on the right.
Your problem is solved! No more Kerberos/negotiate!
Note: you can also click Generate Script in the actions pane to display the code that will make the change in either C#, javascript, or with appcmd from the command line.
For reference, here is the appcmd statement to do the job without using the Configuration Editor.
appcmd.exe set config "Virtual/path/to/application" -section:system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication /-"providers.[value='Negotiate']" /commit:apphost
I have several development sites on my wix XP laptop (all classic asp). Doe anyone know why i need to type localhost/site/default.asp (i keep getting a 405 error on iis 5.1) and not just localhost/site
You need to add "Default.asp" as a default document. From this page ...
With iis 4.0 and iis 5.0 the change is
performed as follows:
Start the Internet Service Manager (Start - Programs - Administrative
Tools - Internet Services Manager).
Expand the computer and select the web site.
Right click on it and select Properties.
Select the documents tab.
Check the Enable default document box and click Add to add a new default
name. The order of the search can be
changed by clicking the up and down
arrows.
Click Apply and then OK.
Per comment ... okay, check your script map settings, per this article.
Sounds like you need to configure your default document type in IIS to be default.asp.
First off we need to clear up the web site thing. You only have one web site, the default web site. (It is possible to munge the metabase on XP to create multiple web sites but IIS 5.1 will only serve one of them, the others will have to be stopped).
You have multiple applications which are virtual directories under a common default website.
Have you checked that Default.asp is in the list of default documents for the application not the website? In IIS manager open properties dialog on each applications virtual directory and check the config there.
If you have then you've got a strange one on your hands. At this point I would always advise checking permissions. Does the application allow anonymous access, if so does the anonymous user have access to the folder and files?
This might seem strange advice since accessing the default.asp directly works but in my experience when the configuration looks good and should work but isn't 90% of the time its the result of permissions not correctly set up.
A 405 http response status code means "Method Not Allowed". The Wikipedia article List of HTTP Status Codes has this definition for the error:
A request was made of a resource using
a request method not supported by that
resource; for example, using GET on
a form which requires data to be
presented via POST, or using PUT on a
read-only resource.
You can try the third XP PRO IIS Admin, which can add more than one site to the IIS 5.1, you can switch the site with no difficulty.
