Iis7 - Batch Create Asp.net Application Folders IIS 7?
Mar 10, 2011
We have a set of about 30-50 users who periodically need an ASP.net (version 4) application directory created for them.
As these numbers grow, manually creating an application directory for each user becomes cumbersome on IIS 7.
Is there a way to create these application folders using a batched/scripted/automated mechanism of some kind?
Ideally we'd like to provide input parameters of a file that contains a batch of application-names, and have the script automatically create the application directories in IIS.
I have several ASP.NET sites in IIS7 and would like to be able to group them into folders (or other mechanism, if available). Ideally, I would use a customer name or account number and put the sites under there.
Is there a way to customize the organization of sites in IIS7, or is there just the one 'flat' view?
I need to fetch first 75 data or lines and insert in the sql table. Again next 75 data or lines and insert in the sql table. Again next 75 data or lines and insert in the sql table until it finish all.How i can do it in ASP.NET with C#
I want code in VB.NET to create javascript arrays of the folder contents that can then be used on the client end. I only need arrays for all folders contained in folders starting with ad_ and an array for all the base folders . like so:
var folders=["ad_folder","ad_code","ad_prep","ad_bin"]; var ad_folder=["folderA","folderB","folderC","anotherFolder","etcfolder"]; var ad_code=["folderA","folderB"]; var ad_prep=["folderA","etcfolder"]; var ad_bin=["etcfolder"];
note that I do not know the number of or the names of the folders, they can be different in different cases, I only have the root path.
I was nosing around with Sysinternals Procmon today, just to see where some disk activity was coming from. In the process (pardon the pun) I noticed that Visual Studio was constantly testing for the presence of a bunch of web folders which didn't exist. Procmon log: "D:wwwroot" is my web root. The folder "csharp" doesn't exist.
This happens continually, every few seconds. When I create "csharp" and those subfolders, VS stops checking for them. But they don't exist in my project file and there's no need for them as far as I know. I don't know what they are for. Does anyone know why VS wants those folders? Their absence doesn't seem to affect anything, yet VS keeps checking if they exist, which is weird.
Not quite sure what you would call these but I am looking to create sub folders for my users eg
mysite.com/billyblue
What I have done up to this point is make a 404 page that handles unknown pages. It takes the part after the / and looks it up in the database. Then I redirect them to the relevant page.
I am having a few issues with this and to be honest am not to keen on handling it this way.
Does anyone have an alternative method for achieving this.
In a website, I see some developers put code into app_code, and sometimes appcode (due to some bug), other files into DataModel, and other files into miscellaneous folders.
Is there a standard approach to organizing code within an application?
How is it different between an ASP.NET, MVC, Silverlight, Console, Database, and WCF application? The reason I mention WCF is because many people seem to have a shared types library that is linked between the server and client code.
Where can I learn these common practices without having to try, fail, and try again. I'd rather just learn it once from the experts.
I have an asp.net app that allows users to create personal pages which can be publicly accessed thru a "directory" page. The content of the pages is stored in sql server, so a given user's page is dynamically created thru the code that executes when the relevant link on the directory page is clicked.
I would like to take this a step further by allowing access to a given user's page directly thru the browser's address bar, something likewww.thegreatestsite.com/jim (pretty much like You Tube, Facebook, etc.).
I could achieve this by manually creating a folder under the root, called "jim" and put a default.aspx page in it which has the code in it's load event that would dynamically create jim's page.
However, I would like this "additional feature" to be created automatically, as part of the sign up process of the user.
I have no clue as to what would be the best approach. For all I know there might even be a standardized way to ado this in asp.net?
"My application (ASP.NET) writes certain files in folders on my servers. In IIS 6.0 I used to give write access to IUSR account so that IIS can write to the folder. Now what I see is my application pool runs under App Pool Identity account. That is good but users are able to create files in the folders without App Pool Identity user being given specific permission to do so.
I've got an ASP MVC (1.0) application. It works fine locally via visual studio and on our dev server which runs IIS6. But when I try to deploy to the Test server (running IIS7 on Windows Server 2008 R2) I get only :"Could not load file or assembly '<ApplicationName>' or one of its dependencies. Access is denied" (where <ApplicationName> is the name of my application). This is followed by a "FileLoadException", a "ConfigurationErrorsException" and two "HttpException" (all with the same message as above)I deployed via publishing to an empty directory, whose contents were then zipped and transferred to the site directory on the test server. If I copy the directories contents to my IIS installation it works fine. I've checked that networkservices has permission to access the site directories and the temporary directories, which were the solutions I found via google,
I want my .net2.0 webservice application to run on IIS7.0 under CLR4.0, Is this possible simply creating an apppool with Classic,.netframework 4.0 settings and pointing my app to this pool? I have tried this and it works fine, but want to confirm on right track?
I'm writing a SaaS app in C#/ASP.NET, hosted with IIS7. I want to create a personalized subdomain for every customer that signs up, i.e. fred.mydomain.com, bob.mydomain.com, each of which will point to the same app, just with a different skin per customer.
How do I create these subdomains programmatically?
I have a web application and when I decided to test on IIS 7 i have this Exception when trying to load a couple of pages that uses Entity Framework 4. I use EF 4 with my own CRUD assemblies but sometimes using the EntityDataSource. I have noticed that the problem is not appearing in all my Web Pages but I think in those that I use the EntityDataSource.
Here's the log from a Page:

I think its the EDM problem but I can't get through. I should mention that in my development pc is working all perfectly!!!
My controls are DevExpress but I dont think this should play any role!
[EDIT]
Forgot to mention that I use Self tracking Template with the Entities.tt in a separate assembly!
[EDIT 2]
On my local Windows 7 IIS works OK! It's Windows Server 2008 I can't get it done!
I wanna serve my application in ISS to be accessed from many different URL's on my web server.
eg.
http://example.com/test1 http://example.com/test2
Both these URL's get served by the same application.
I do NOT however want to just create new virtual applications to the application, because it stuffs up the user membership roles. The users and their roles must exist accross the two URL's.
Application Pool may contain multiple worker processes (w3wp.exe) ?Application Pool may contain multiple Asp.NET Applications ?Asp.NET assigns one ThreadPool per AppDomain ?One AppDomain only contain one Web Application Instance but Application can contain multiple AppDomains ?
Edit : These questions are related to IIS 6x or higher, in which App Domains are available.
I have published my site using Visual Stuido's 2008 publish feature. I have then copied these files to a windows 2008 web server with IIS7 installed, it also has .net 3.5 sp1 and MVC installed In IIS I added the site using the 'Add a new site' right click option and then pointed this at the directory my site files are located in, I used the default application pool and it is set to integrated. Then when I attempt to browse I got the error message The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory. So I added Default.aspx to the default document list and I then get the following error message
HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map. Has anyone got any ideas on what I do next ? I have read lots of articles on this online but most are confusing and dont explain the solution in simple terms Surely it should be pretty straightforard to just deploy an MVC website to IIS7
We are working on a web application that creates more web applications.Each web application will have to get a Url Rewrite rule (URL REWRITE MODULE 2.0).As far as I know, there's no way to add such rules without modifying the web.config file (am I right??).So my plan was to work with multiple web.config partial files. One main .config file, and lots of .config files per application (every file will contain it's web application url rewrite rules).This way sounds a little bit messy, but I can't think of anything else, and suggestions will be welcomed.
I have a number of ASP.NET (4.0) web applications that appear to leak (a small amount) of memory during each request. It is such a small amount, that for most use-cases, it will not grow to become a problem for weeks or even months at a time. I generally try to be good with closing any connections managed by the application, avoiding state-variables (or instance variables for my singleton), etc. My question is this - is this normal behavior for ASP.NET applications? I had turned off the default (IIS 7) behavior of recycling the app pool after 20 minutes of being idle. I do this since the application takes a few minutes to build its internal cache, and I want to avoid negatively impacting the user experience (and having them wait for the application to start when they issue the request).
I don't know if it's IIS, ASP.NET or IIS7 related. I take a chance here, if you think I'm in the wrong forum, just tell me which one I should post to.
I have made the smallest demo project to illustrate my problem. You can download the sources
Here
Visual Studio 2008, .NET 3.5, IIS7, Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits. The IIS Website is configured ONLY for Windows Authentication in an Integreated pipeline app pool (DefaultAppPool).
Here's the problem. I have an Asp.NET MVC 2 application. In an action, I start a thread. The View returns.
The thread is doing it's job... but it needs to access Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name
BANG
The worker process of IIS7 stops. I have a window that says: "Visual Studio Just-In-Time Debugger An unhandled exception ('System.Object.DisposedException') occured in w3wp.exe [5524]"
I checked with the debugger and the Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity is valid, but the Name property is disposed.
If I put a long wait in the action before it returns the view, then the Thread can do it's job and the Identity.Name is not disposed. So I think the Name gets disposed when the view is returned.
For the sake of the discussion, here's the code that the thread runs (but you can also download the demo project. The link is on top of this post):
Pardon if this is more serverfault vs. stackoverflow. It seems to be on the border.
We have an application that caches a large amount of product data for an e-commerce application using ASP.NET caching. This is a dictionary object with 65K elements, and our calculations put the object's size at ~10GB. Problem:
The amount of memory the object consumes seems to be far in excess of our 10GB calculation. BIGGEST CONCERN: We can't seem to use over 60% of the 32GB in the server.
What we've tried so far:
In machine.config/system.web (sf doesn't allow the tags, pardon the formatting):
processModel autoConfig="true" memoryLimit="80"
In web.config/system.web/caching/cache (sf doesn't allow the tags, pardon the formatting):
privateBytesLimit = "20000000000" (and 0, the default of course) percentagePhysicalMemoryUsedLimit = "90"
Environment: Windows 2008R2 x64 32GB RAM IIS7
Nothing seems to allow us to exceed the 60% value.
