Custom VirtualPathProvider Not Being Used In IIS6?
Aug 30, 2010
I added the following lines to Application_Start method in global.asax:
var provider = new TestVirtualPathProvider();
HostingEnvironment.RegisterVirtualPathProvider(provider);
Yet the 'TestVirtualPathProvider' is never used when deploying this application in IIS6 (it does in the ASP.NET Development Server).
Edit: the default path provider has always done its job correctly and served (non-embedded) views correctly. The problem is simply that I want to use my own path provider to provide embedded views. So, initially, I already had the following wildcard mapping configured:
Any possible reasons why this does not work in IIS6? Are there any other factors (handlers for example) wich might influence the used VirtualPathProvider?
As part of a CMS, I have created a custom VirtualPathProvider which is designed to serve a single file in place of an actual file structure. I have it set up such that if a file actually exists on the server, that file will be served. If the file does not exist, the virtual content stored for that address will be served instead. This is similar to the concept of serving a website from files stored in a database, though in this case the content is stored in XML files on the server.
This setup works perfectly when a request is made to a specific page. For example, if I ask for "www.mysite.com/foobar.aspx", the content that is stored for "foobar.aspx" will be served. Further, if I ask for "www.mysite.com/subdir/foobar.aspx", the appropriate content will also be served.
The problem is this: If I ask for something like "www.mysite.com/foobar", things begin to fall apart. If the directory exists on disk (and doesn't have a configured default page in IIS, such as index.aspx), I will get a "Directory Listing Denied" error. If the directory does not exist, I'll simply get a 404 - Resource Not Found.
I've tried several things, and so far nothing I've done has made a bit of difference. It seems as though IIS is simply noting the nonexistence of a directory (or default file in an existing directory) and serving up its own error code, without ever asking my application what to do with the request. If it ever did get to the application, I would be able to solve the problem, but as it stands, I'm quite lost. Does anyone know if there is some setting in IIS that is causing this?
I've looked for every resource I can find on the subject, and am coming up empty. I know this should be possible, because I have read tutorials on serving content from both databases and ZIP files.
I've been asked to upgrade a few applications and I'm planning on merging all of them into one asp.net application. I'm fine with this decision and have spoken with fellow workers and they also think it's the best option to go with.
The application will be accessed from a small group of users which belong to a larger domain. I'm currently planning on using Windows authentication and only allow this small set of users to access the asp.net application. Also there must be some role management, so that only certain users can view certain functionality.
I really don't want to have many different windows groups; so I want to avoid having to assign different windows groups to different folders and control permissions in the web.config.
What I'd like to do is:
- Assign one windows group to the small group of users who will access the page.
- Create a custom membership provider and control the user who accesses the application. Depending on the user I will then assign his current set of roles.
- Add an application setting to the web.config, with the name of the current administrator, so if he logs in, he will be assigned all roles, and will be able to create and assign roles to other users.
I set my web.config with a custom error for 404 and 403 response but when I try to navigate my page (not exist page). It displays the default IIS6 404 page instead of my custom page...
I am fresh in ASP.NET MVC framework. This is may be a silly question for you. Sorry about that.I have implemented a VirtualPathProvider. The VirtualPathProvider reads the view from File system.However my problem is the method GetFile(string virtualPath) is not executed every time for every request. I think it is related to the caching, isn't it? What I want is getting file every time for every request. Because for some cases, the page in the file system will be modified and users want the system shows the changes immediately.
I'm working trying to realize a requirement where the pages should be 'configurable' at runtime (per client), stored in a database - a requirement that I have no say in Anyway, the current plan is to use the Razor view engine and 'load' the 'pages' dynamically. I have a basic sample working using a VirtualPathProvider and VirtualFile that serves up Raz'pages' on the fly.The question I have if there is a better approach when I have the Razor 'pages' stored in a dB (or any other repository)?
There seems to be some constraints and concerns when I check other postings. For example:'If a Web site is precompiled for deployment, content provided by a VirtualPathProvider instance is not compiled, and noVirtualPathProvider instances are used by the precompiled site.' (from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.hosting.virtualpathprovider.aspx )
We got a lot of intranet websites that share the same design. Therefore we've put the master pages, stylesheet, images and javascripts in a shared assembly.
The problem is that Visual Studio cannot find the images or masterpage and therefore gives us a lot of warnings + that we cannot select the masterpage when creating new view pages.
Note: Everything works fine when running the websites.
I have a virtual folder containing an administration application, like
[URL]
which requires SSL. In the IIS manager properties for the folder, under "Authentication and access control", Anonymous Access is disabled and "Authenticated Access" is set to "Integrated Windows authentication."
When I connect to the site in Chrome, I receive two login boxes. The first is from mysite.com/alpha:443, and the second is from mysite.com/alpha:80. Firefox appears to re-send my credentials for the second box so it is never shown.
I have an MVC2 application where i post a DELETE to MyController/Delete/ID.This is working fine if I debug the application, however, when I put it on the application server (IIS6), I keep "Unauthorized" as a result. I googled a lot, but I didn't find any problems the same as mine.
I've set up a web app on IIS6 with a "{controller}.mvc/..."-mapping. Everything is running fine - except for the root-path (http://www.myapp.com). The additional routes.MapRoute for "Root" is applied in global.asax (as in the MS-example "Listing 2 - Global.asax (modified with extensions)").In VS2010 debugging mode everything (including the root) works - as well as in the "published" app (on Win7 IIS 7.5). I've copied the whole published app to the IIS6.
I have a fully dynamic application that uses UrlRewriting.Net that works perfectly within the visual studio environment. As you can see from the rules within the web.config file below, UrlRewriting.Net rewrites the destination as "~/index.aspx?URLPath=$1&URLString=$2", basically index.aspx searches the database for the page properties and builds the page based on the parameters passed. There are no physical files for the website, only index.aspx with all pages and its webparts build dynamically on the fly. The application is compiled as ASP.NET 3.5 and runs on a Windows Server 2003 x64 standard edition.
To my knowledge the configuration you see in the web.config below should work in iis6, however does not . Does the installment of UrlRewriting.Net require configuration in iis6 as well?
I've recently upgraded VS 2008 to VS 2010. On our server we have IIS6 installed and we can not change that in near future. Even though we will develop new applications to be deployed on IIS7 but if situation demands we may need to develop an application using .net 4.0 and to be deployed on IIS6, then in this case I wanted to know whether IIS6 supports .net 4.0 application or not?
If I can deploy, then do I need to take care of any configuration or any other setting I should change before deploying it?
I have a error when I'm trying to browse the web service in IIS6. I checked with a sample textile with the IIS6, its working fine. But when I'm rying to browse the asp.net web service it getting fail. The same web service working with some other machine, but not with this machine. see the screen for the error information
I have a site built on .net 3.5 I need to have a virtual directory in it for another site built on .net 1.1. I have created to application pools in IIS and each are set to the right version number but it still doesn't work.

add php Extension to IIS6 and IIS 7 via Code in C# using WMi (System.Management). I cant use DirectoryEntry.
I am stuck with adding a new ScriptMap Object to IIS 6/IIS7.
I have read some posts at here and there and heard that adding new WMi object from Scratch is difficult.
I want to enable IIS 6/IIS7 to handle php as well as aspx files and be able to process them. I have extracted php zip archive to a directory on my system (not installed it). The propblem is i am able to modify existing ScriptMap objects but i dont get to understand the add a new ScriptMap Objects.
Also i am not sure whether adding the a new extensiuon handler to ScriptMap will solve the problem or not.
We have an old windows 2000 running IIS 5.0 on this server we have a few asp pages that use a connection to our SQL database.
This all works fine. But because we are going to deposal this server it has to move to a newer server running IIS 6.0.
I installed IIS and ASP and it looked ok, after that we moved over the webpages to the new server edited the web.config connecting to the new SQL database 2008 ( that's also moved )
But what I try I keep getting the same error, Page cannot be displayed.
I've been tasked with looking into performance tuning my company's intranet server. It runs DotNetNuke which suffers from poor performance. It also runs a number of other web apps (mix of asp and asp.net).
Could anybody give me a brief list of common performance tweaks that can be made to IIS6?
I'm running an Asp.NET MVC 2 app under IIS 6.All pages are behind Windows Integrated Authentication except for some pages that accepts anonymous access.We setup these pages in the web.config with the location element like this
this is an Asp.NET MVC app, the path indicated in the path attribute points to an action method not a physical location.When this was running under IIS 7 integrated mode it was working fine. But when we switched to IIS 6 we get the login prompt even with the pages that are set to accept anonymous users.ow to make IIS 6 authorize anonymous access to non physical paths ?
Recently I got a strange behavior, the website hangs and just doesn't reply unless I go to iis and restart either app pool or whole IIS - BUT what is the most strange thing is that in case I go to remote desktop of the server and try to access it locally it DOES work just fine. I read couple threads about deadlocking and hanging because of memory leaks and non closed sql connections BUT why it still does work from the local?In case there is something wrong with the code - why does it still work from locally?
