Microsoft Iis

Two websites or more in Microsoft IIS. Is it possible? ?
I already have one website set up into the MIcrosoft IIS folder. I need to set up another one. Anybody can tell me how to do it? Please. Of course it is a dinamic website using ASP.NET tecnology and apparently can only be set up there.

Multiple ASP.NET projects can be anywhere on the server, on IIS you have to set-up a virtual directory. Don't forget to set permissions.

What are the differences between Basic, Digest, and Integrated Windows authentication in Microsoft IIS?


Basic authentication passes the username and password as plain text over the network. Digest authentication sends the username and password but they are encrypted. Integrated authentication sends only a kerberos or NTLM security token.

What are some drawbacks of running Apache web server as opposed to running Microsoft IIS?
I am having trouble deciding which service to use, please back up your information with web page addresses to reference for later viewing. I have been doing my own research on serverwatch, but would like to get your opinions.

Apples and Oranges. Consider the services that you will be offering OVER the web services. Then decide, based on your requirements.

What are the minimum hardware requirements for Apache 2.x.x and Microsoft IIS 6.0?
I am researching the differences between the two web servers. I am having a hard time finding anything on each individual server and I need to compare and contrast each product. Thanks for the answers, however If I can get a website with some information that would be great. It's for a class Im taking so I need to do some of the work in more detail and have referrences.

IIS 6.0 reqiures server 2003 as your operating system. XP Pro includes IIS 5.1 I prefer IIS for asp. Well heck! Why didn't you say so, big difference is that IIS 6.0 requires a server operating system (MS Server 2003 $700) Apache will run with an NT based operating sytem 2000, XP, Vista. IIS is an ASP server, will handle HTTP and ASP. Apache is an HTTP server. Servers do not need much in the way of hardware. The Programs are small and require very little memory, although Server 2003 requires more memory and disk space than XP. A server does not even require a KB, monitor(or video) or mouse if on a network. A blade server is just a cpu, memory, and a network connection. Cpu, Hard disk and connection speed are important for high traffic sites. Helpful links below:

Microsoft IIS Load?
Hi, I am running Microsoft Windows 2003 Standard, IIS 6.0 on a Intel Xeon and it is connected with a 2mbps connection and hosted at my ISP's datacenter. Running on it is PHP, and MySQL database, with a PHP CMS system, moodle for example, and also a PHP Forum. Basically I would like to find out how many concurrent connections would my server be able to handle on average? and how much would be maximum? Also is there some sort of formula which I can use to calculate it myself? Thanks in advance =)

There is no way to tell. You need to test to find out. Then, of course, there are all kinds of adjustments you can make to improve performance. Rasmus Lerdorf, the creator of PHP, spoke at php|works conference in Toronto in September. During his address, he demonstrated an example of server optimization; an application running on his laptop (Ubuntu / Apache / PHP / MySQL) went from handling 17 requests per second to handling 1,100 requests per second without any changes to the code, only by tweaking with Apache and MySQL settings...

sql server 2005 express requires Microsoft IIS????
im having trouble in configuring the MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition which i received error that it does not allow remote connection.I have searched for Microsoft website.It asked me to enable the remote connection step by step, make exception to the firewall to unblock it but yet get rid out of it.The error is as follow: "Cannot connect to localhost.An error has occurred while establishing a connection to a server.When connecting to SQL server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.(provider:Named Pipes Provider,error 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server.)(Microsoft SQL Server,Error:2)". And I am not sure if my PC running Windows XP Home which does not support Microsoft IIS would be the problem causing that error?SQL Server 2005 requires Microsoft IIS to run also??? Please help.

You can try.... Start menu >> All Programs >> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 >> Configuration Tools >> SQL Server Surface Area Configuration It should open a window. Near the bottom it should say "Configure Surface Area for Localhost. Click the link that says "Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections". It should open another window. It should have a treeview thing on the left that has MSSQLSERVER with a subnode of Database Engine that has another sub node Service and Remote Connections. Click on Remote Connections. Then the right side of the window should change. It has two radio buttons "Local connections Only" and "Local and remote Connections" If you select "Local and remote Connections" 3 more radio buttons become active. Select the ones that you plan on using. Click OK on both windows to close the program and see if your application works now.

What is IIS in reference to Microsoft internet information services, and how do I install or properly config.?
I need this information because I am installing VMware. I got this error message that says my system needs to have the IIS installed or configured properly. How would I go about Installing the IIS or How would I go about configuring the IIS. Please Help. Thanks in advance, KP

Open your control panel, then open Add Remove Programs, click on Add/Remove Windows Components, you will see IIS there. Be prepared to have your windows OS cd handy, as it will probably request it. OR... You will have to buy it. Here is a link: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/iis/default.mspx

Is Microsoft IIS free?
I'm trying to find some good document management software to convert my office to paperless. One software package is web based and says it requires MS IIS and .NET Framework. How much do these cost?

It's included with Windows XP and Windows 2000 Professional as well as Servers 2000 and 2003. (It may need to be installed on XP and 2000). Unfortunately it's not available with XP Home. .NET framework can be installed via Windows Updates Optional updates for free on any Windows version.

What is the difference between IIS and MTS(Microsoft Transaction Server)?
What is IIS and What is MTS.Difference between IIS and MTS.Please give the details about the topic and How is it different from each other.

IIS is a webserver, MTS is a transaction server IIS is used to publish webpages, MTS is used to maintain transactions on different components (implemented as DLL's) IIS has many services - for example HTTP, SMTP, NNTP. MTS has only transaction service. You can think of it as a container for components which manages transactions.

Microsoft IIS File Contention?
Hi All, I am breaking my head for two days with a simple problem. I have created a web method using .Net web services and I am creating a text file inside the web method. when I call the webmethod for the first time, the text file is getting created without any issues, but when I call the webmethod again,I am getting "file in use exception", while monitoring the file I found out that the file is being used by aspnet_wp.exe process. The IIS process is holding the text file untill it is restarted, Please find the code snipet below : [WebMethod] public string HelloWorld() { try { File.Create(@"C:\Testing\ControlEnd.txt"); return "File created successfuly"; } catch(Exception ex) { return "Error in file creation"+ex.ToString(); } } Could someone help me in getting this resolved?

I believe that File.Create returns a FileStream object, that must be closed after you are done with the file. Because you are not closing the file, the file remains open and locked.
