As you might have already heard, Windows Vista RC1 was released late last week. I've been running it
Vista RC1 Reaction Roundup ...
Customers have two options to check out IIS 7.0 - it's in both Windows Vista (now at RC1) and Windows...
Bill,
Does this mean that IIS 7 on Windows Server 2007 will actually be IIS 7.1? Does that then mean that IIS7 in Vista will be updated after Windows Server 2007 ships?

Hi Robert! No, we don't plan to rev the version number when server releases. Most of the changes won't be visible, though there could be a few that are. The plan is to update IIS7 in Vista with the same code we ship in Server in the first service pack, so that we can service both simultaneously as needed. Again, the primary goal is to enable developers to build and test their applications in the same environment as the apps will deploy on server, so we will strive to keep them in sync.
I’m in a session with Bill Staples titled “IIS on PHP” and he showed how to setup PHP to work with IIS 7. He has documented it on his blog here. I’ll just tell you real quick what to do....
Xeno - actually, if you look more closely the configuration I do above is to run PHP as an ISAPI, which runs in-process with the IIS worker process. This is essentially the same as running mod_php on apache. The biggest difference is that ISAPI requires all of the PHP extensions to be threadsafe, since IIS worker processes are multi-threaded. If this is an issue, then the CGI route is safer, since each request runs in it's own single-threaded process.
In order to provide the best performance, and reliability of PHP on windows, I'd recommend using a fastCGI extension for IIS. There are several of them out there, including one from Zend (http://www.zend.com/) which enables PHP to run quite fast on Windows. This is a feature we intend to add to IIS in the coming year. Hope this helps-
Lars - hmm..I'm not sure why they didn't show up for you, they are looking fine right now. Send me a message with a reply address, and I'll be happy to email instructions to you.
ugh, sorry guys. due to a misconfiguration the images were not working for some folks. this has been fixed

Maarten Balliauw has posted an alternative way to configure PHP on IIS using FastCGI which will avoid any threadsafety issues you may see with PHP extensions. See his blog post here: http://www.balliauw.be/maarten/blog/16,php-on-iis7-rc-1-but-unsafe.htm
Radek - yes, we are working on a new FTP server which will include SSL support and some other goodies. :) This will likely not be a part of Longhorn Server, but should be available around the same time. You'll hear more official word before then.
Hey Chris - send me mail with more specifics on the error, and I'll see if I can help or at least point you in the right direction. thanks
Andy - protecting a web site from unauthorized users is pretty easy. For instructions on how to do this with IIS5/6, there are several good sites out there, like this one site: http://www.hostmysite.com/support/dedicated/IIS/passwordprotect/
The UI for IIS7 looks a bit different, but should (hopefully) be pretty simple to follow. Simply navigate to the authentication feature, enable Windows authentication and disable anonymous, then configure users and permissions as in the above link.
Hi John - session data is stored in a temporary directory under the identity which the application is running as - by default NetworkService. The error message you get should specify which directory PHP is having trouble writing session data to. For example, in Simon's case above, the directory was: C:\Windows\SERVIC~2\NETWOR~1\AppData\Local\Temp\ This is the directory that the web server needs write access to. Also, if you could email me a test PHP script that reproduces this issue, I can try it here and give you more specifics on how to fix it. I tried using start-session, and it worked for me without any problems, so I suspect there is something else specific to your app that is triggering the error. you may also want to check out the documentation for session in PHP, located here: http://us2.php.net/session using the session.save_path variable in your php.ini, you should be able to reconfigure the path for session data to something more accessible.
See my latest blog post for more information on how to solve the session / temporary directory issues: http://blogs.iis.net/bills/archive/2006/10/18/loadUserProfile-and-IIS7-_2D00_-understanding-temporary-directory-failures.aspx
PingBack from http://blogs.iis.net/bills/archive/2006/09/19/How-to-install-PHP-on-IIS7-_2800_RC1_2900_.aspx
very true, Rick. For PHP this is relatively simple. Use the session.save_path in the php.ini file. I'm not sure how or if this is possible with Access, for example. ADO is opening the file in the temporary directory behind the scenes, and I'm not sure if there is a way to change the directory it uses.
Hi Chuck - the SMTP server has always fit under the 'IIS' umbrella, but wasn't actually owned by the IIS team. The folks that owned it have decided to no longer ship it in Vista (the Windows client sku) and instead are only shipping it in Longhorn Server.

Tom - that is a great idea. I'll be sure to pass it along to the guys who are designing the error database to make sure to think about doing that. at a minimum we will provide the ability to send feedback on the errors. thanks!

Thanks Chris! Glad you like them. While you can't extend the 'things to try', you can customize the 'view more information' link to have it point to your own database. maybe that gets you close enough?
Understood. When you say customize the link would that link be statically defined or is there a way to append which exception/error happened and potentially another attribute like which environment (i.e. product code)?
It's still good to know that it's customizable and we can route the user to our system for more help.
Thanks Bill.
Chris - unfortunately there won't be a way to append more data to the errors, that information is baked into the detailed errors module at compile time. but the 'more information' link is customizable, so you can point users at it for any additional info.
Hatim - the new errors don't use any graphics and are pretty simple HTML/CSS, but I can see how some may not like them. As always, it is hard to choose one style that everyone likes. But the good news is the 'custom errors', as always, are fully customizable so your customers will only see the errors as you want them to be seen. :)

I spent a looong time trying to figure out why I couldn't get PHP 4.4.x working with IIS 7... and I never could. Switched to PHP 5, used the same configuration steps and it worked fine.
In researching this topic, I never came across any warning about PHP 4.4.x - so maybe this will save someone the headache. Just use PHP 5.
DK - here are a few tips to get PHP4 to work using the same method described above.
1) extract php-4.4.4-win32.zip to c:\php4 directory
2) copy the php4isapi.dll from the c:\php4\sapi directory into c:\php4
3) rename c:\php4\php.ini-dist to php.ini and copy it to c:\windows
4) map *.php to the c:\php4\php4isapi.dll using the steps above (subtitute it for php5isapi.dll above)
If you still have problems, try the PHP forum on forums.iis.net, and we'll help troubleshoot.

First I used PHP5 as ISAPI.
On my test server i have experimented with the new FastCGI extention, and i was suprised how much inprovement that was.
It was way faster than the ISAPI.
Nowdays i also use PHP5 in combination with Eaccelerator and FastCGI.
It is very stable and astonishingly fast.

The first solution didn't work for me and I had to use the second option of disabling the user profile for the app pool. This allowed my asp pages to read an Access db but does not allow them to write to the db. I get the old 'operation must use an updatable query' error.
I've checked file and folder permissions and they all allow IUSR correctly.
Also tried Process Monitor to isolate the problem but can't see anything obvious, although there are various 'name not found' errors when IE looks at register keys.

Browsing the IIS.NET blogs I just came across a post : BillS' IIS Blog - MIX '07: IIS7 for Developers
I ran across Apache at 56% - what is wrong? by /home/liquidat this weekend, and the resulting Digg thread
Interesting read, even for people like me who do not have much knowledge and in-depth-views about the topic.
I just discovered your blog through a back link and want to use the opportunity to ask a set of questions:
What do you answer customers who ask you after the vendor lock-in? In case of IIS you have to use Windows as the underlying system, and you cannot switch it. In case of Apache, you can use whatever you want. If there are such customers, what do you tell them?
(Starting from that it is unlikely that you release a Linux version of IIS anytime soon).
The other question is in a similar direction:
Microsoft's history is not the most popular one regarding MS's attempts to spread into a new field of software technology: when it entered a new field, it usually killed all other competitors through at least debatable methods. Also sometimes by providing superior technology, but often enough by the usual methods only a monopolist can use.
What do you answer people who are afraid about that topic? What is MS's stand on Firefox in this regard? How can we be *sure* that the IIS will not implement techniques which can only be used by the IE or Windows programs in general?
Sure, I know the MS-Firefox talsk of the last months, but these might as well have been just flashs and nothing else.
If you wonder where these questions come from or why I am so critical with MS: I pointed that out at my blog. From my point of view the major people at MS are still Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, not the people who invited the Firefox developers or the people who tried to implement common standards in IE7.
I would appreciate if you could take some time to at least write down what you think about such or similar concerns.
Hi liquidat - thanks for stopping by. I enjoyed your original blog post and the resulting discussion so much it motivated me to post this entry. I welcome input from all sides of the debate.
Just wanted to get one thing out of the way before rumors spread: you're right - there is no version of IIS for Linux planned anytime soon. :) I smile only because we have a huge investment in the underlying OS and our goal is to make IIS the best possible Web server out there for Windows customers.
Of course, that does mean that we require Windows, so if you want to use IIS, you'll have to buy a copy of Windows. It turns out that for many people, this isn't a problem. They've already decided for one reason or another to choose Windows, and so choosing IIS is a pretty natural option. For them, we want IIS to be not just a default choice, but something they really enjoy and get a lot out of.
For others who are trying to decide on a platform to build on, you're right that they can choose IIS on Windows, or Apache and any other supported OS. That may sound like an easy choice to you, but it turns out that it is pretty complicated for most customers. "Vendor lock-in" as you phrase it is one thing to consider, but it is a question of priority for most people. In considering it, one has to ask: how often do I really plan to change OS platforms? Is it really important to my business that I am able to move from one server OS to another on a frequent basis?
For some people the answer may be "yes". For most customers that I talk to, the more pragmatic questions are ones like: where am I going to invest my time and money? what is my organization already familiar with and capable of using? What are the features and capabilities of the rest of the software stack, from developer tools and frameworks to administration and management tools... from databases and identity to performance and scalability... from security track record and support options to total cost of ownership and much, much more. Answers to these questions tend to be more important than who / where you're getting your software from.
I say all of this without trying to downplay the ultimate transparency and cross-platform freedom that open source software like Apache provides, and there are certainly more than a few who prioritize these requirements very high. For many customers who choose Windows, the power of having an integrated stack for developing, deploying, managing Web applications, and the convenience of having one vendor to secure, support and assist them is a top priority. And thank heavens for them, they pay my bills. ;)
Hi Bills, thanks for the detailed answer :)
Hi Bill,
I work for a hoster I read with interest the App Pool per site as being the default config for new websites.
How does this compare with IIS6 in terms of performance, resource utilisation and management practicalities?
Doing this on IIS 6 is a management and tuning nightmare particularly when we host roughly 800-1000 sites per server.
Cheers
Kev
Kev -
I have great news for you. We've focused a lot on the shared hosting scenario, and we have a dedicated test bench to simulate it here and we've been pushing the scalability. Of course, the numbers you get will depend on a lot of factors, but we are pushing well beyond the limits you describe.
If you want to read more about how we recommend hosters do shared hosting on IIS7, we've just published a whitepaper here: http://www.iis.net/articles/view.aspx/Deploy-an-IIS7-Server/Deployment-for-Web-Hosters/Shared-Hosting-on-IIS7?tabid=1. I have a dedicated team of technical experts ready and willing to help you get started like other hosters have with the IIS7 GoLive (http://iis.net/goLive). If you're interested, send me an email and I'll get you in touch with them. (click the email link at the top of the page).
thanks-

Yepp... fact is close to 80% of the world's servers run Apache... and one of the many good reasons they do is because we can use mod_rewrite and have "normal" search-friendly URLS while taking advantage of the server-side functionality of PHP.
Hi Kenty-
Not to pick knits, but your "fact" is off by a few bits. :)
The netcraft survey cited tracks the marketshare of Web servers by counting Web sites, and clearly shows Apache at 56%, not 80%. http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2007/05/01/may_2007_web_server_survey.html And if you consider that many Web hosters run multiple "sites" on a single server, and that most hosters probably run Linux, you quickly realize that the number of actual Apache "servers" (not sites!) on the internet is even less than 56%.
In any case, I do agree that friendly URLs through the use of mod_rewrite is a very good thing, and you can expect to see similar functionality built on top of IIS7 in the near future. In addition, as I mentioned, IIS now has fast and reliable support for PHP (in fact, you may be quite surprised if you do a side-by-side performance test), so customers can enjoy PHP on Windows and IIS every bit as much as they do on Linux/Apache.
The debate rolls on. I guess this must be the 11th year since Microsoft shipped its first IIS web platform.
Mit Windows Vista hat Microsoft im November letzten Jahres bereits die nächste Generation seines Webservers "Internet Information Services", kurz IIS, released. Ende dieses Jahres (oder irgendwann kurz danach ;-)) wird dann das "echte" Release mit de

This is a fantastic announcement. One thing I can't tell from your announcement - do you currently plan to include the enhanced FTP server as an "in the box" component in the Windows "Longhorn" Server RTM release, or will it still be a separate download at RTM?
Hi Dan - the FTP server will be available for free on the web for download - fully supported from Microsoft - at Longhorn Server RTM.
Hi Rob - just posted on the subject here: blogs.iis.net/.../tips-for-classic-asp-developers-on-iis7.aspx
When I tried
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:applicationPools /[name='DefaultAppPool'].processModel.loadUserProfile:false
I got an error:
ERROR ( hresult:80070005, message:Command execution failed. Access is denied. )
What am I doing wrong?
Hi Frank. make sure you run all of the commands above in an 'elevated' command prompt. To do this, click your "start" button, type in 'cmd', then right click on the command prompt icon and choose 'run as administrator'. Only administrators can change IIS configuration, so you must elevate to administrator in order to run the commands.
Hi Johanb - could you email me some ASP code that reproduces the issue, and we'll take a look. It is hard to say what may cause this issue, without seeing the underlying code, but it doesn't look like a permissions issue off-hand. Seeing a repro of the issue would help us narrow it down.
That music was pretty annoying... I still think Windows Server Server Edition
Hi jbwillers - glad the post helped. That is a strange issue. Could you post or email me the code which generates the path, so I can try to reproduce the issue?
Hi jb - it looks like you may have found a bug, we're looking into it. In the mean time, you can fix this bug in your code pretty easily. The last line is key. Change it from:
="& request.servervariables("APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH") & "bosbokDb/bosbokDb.mdb"
to:
="& request.servervariables("APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH") & "\" & "bosbokDb/bosbokDb.mdb"
that should do it. I'll let you know what we find.

Hi Derek -
Looks like you may have accidently dropped the space between the section and property parameters. Try the command again and make sure there is a space between applicationPools<space>/[name... so the entire command is like this:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config /section:applicationPools /[name='DefaultAppPool'].processModel.loadUserProfile:false
Bahadir: are you using ASP and Access? Are you seeing Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005' or something else?
Hi Zahra - what does line 2 look like? What is the object you are trying to create with Server.CreateObject?
Hi Zahra - error 80020009 typically means a recordset error of some kind? I assume foxpro has been installed and the object has been properly registered on the box? if you could email me a bit of code and the COM object you are using which reproduces the issue, I can have someone here take a look at it. Or you could try calling our support team: blogs.iis.net/.../where-do-i-go-for-iis-support.aspx they really rock!
IIS booting from flash and then getting all the files (including config) from a file server would be GREAT for big web farms! (A lot less hard disks to fail.)
However without Asp.net there is not much point as very few web sites are 100% static content.
Hi Ian -
Yep, having IIS7 on server core is a great step towards having stateless front-end servers! We are working hard to get ASP.NET in server core, with some future release. Fortunately, classic ASP and PHP applications should run just fine on Server Core, for the web application developers who choose those languages.
Hi Micro - we're still evaluating what it will take, so I can't say for sure. I'm sure you can imagine: we want it there as soon as possible.
nijinsky: definitely! ISAPI still works just fine, as well as the new native extensibility interface: CHTTPModule, which is a super-set of isapi filter and extension, and offers a completely async model. See mvolo.com/.../IIS7-modules-vs.-IIS6-ISAPI-_2300_10_3A00_-C_2B002B00_-Class_2D00_based-encapsulation-model.aspx for more info.
I am really interested to see how this feature works out in the long run, so far it seems great especially for specialized servers. However I am curious about one thing, obviously there would be no local gui administration tools, but will remote gui based tools still be usable or do those rely on the shell itself also? While I am a big fan of command line tools, occasionally you just need to dive into the gui to get some things done or to troubleshoot a problem.
Hi Dave - unfortunately the remote administration service also requires the .NET framework, so it won't be supported until we get .NET on there.
Eli: yep, notepad.exe works just fine on server core.
thanks Dizzledorf!
Hi Pam. If you have set up the site on port 81, you’ll need to connect to this address: http://localhost:81/testsite1.com/">localhost/testsite1.com
Probably a better way to do this is to move testsite1.com directory to the \inetpub directory. I would also rename it to just “testsite1” – windows doesn’t like directories with .com at the end. Then I would create a new site on port 81 and point it to \inetpub\testsite1. Then you can access it by going to http://localhost:81/
Last, if you want to access it with a different name, edit your \windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file and register a new host header, then set the site up with a host header instead of a different port. You can have unlimited host header sites on vista.
hope this helps -
Hi Bills..thanks for your help. So let me back up now and try to do this the correct and easiest way. Let's say I want to have 3 web sites that I want to work with. In IIS5.1 (XP pro) I just changed one by one the home directory under IIS to point to the directory I wanted under inetpub/wwwroot. But now with iis7.0 are you saying I would just need to add entries to my hosts file to look at the 3 sites. Then what would be the URL to get them. I don't want to have to move my files to the inetput/wwwroot directory to get them to work. I want to just have subdirectories under that..one for each site. Are you saying all I need is an entry in the hosts table, one for each site. What would the IP be? And what address would I use to access them? Feel free to direct me to someplace that has this info. Again..thanks for the help. Pam

Hi Pichopper -
Yes! IIS7 will allow you to host more than one Web site at a time. See this post: blogs.iis.net/.../How-I-fell-in-love-with-Vista-this-weekend-_2800_or-why-you_2700_re-gonna-love-IIS7_2F00_Vista-for-Web-development_2900_.aspx for more info on other features you may be interested in.

Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0175 : 80004005' Disallowed Path Characters /bullet/account/connection.inc, line 4 The '..' characters are not allowed in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.
is caused by the "Parents paths disabled by default" section I describe above. I've updated my blog to reflect this error as another symptom. Try enabling parent paths.
Hi Keith - I'd be happy to introduce you to the ms.com guys next time you're around. ;)
Hi Seth -
The plan for the FTP7 server is to ship it as a web download. Unfortunately, due to resource / schedule constraints it did not make the cut-off for Windows 2008. It will run on Vista, however, as well, once we release it.
SSL supported in the FTP service with IIS 7 ?
Hi Aaron -
Yes, the new ftp server (www.iis.net/.../default.aspx) supports FTP over SSL and will be installable on server core. The current beta only supports beta 3, and will not install on this latest CTP, but will be updated in the future. The built-in FTP server does not support FTP/SSL, however.
Having posted on a wrong blog entry I'll enter it here too :-)
Again, this is great, great, great news. I would be shocked if you guys could please check out what Dare has posted on Google infrastructure.
Being thin and having an extremelly low memory footprint (thin as in NT 3.51 or 4.0 or similar) is certainly the way forward. No shell, no page faults, no RPC rountrips, no hangs, no WMI, nothing that eats stability or exposes more surfaces.
PE 2.0 is a great start but not enough.
People are building their own boxes and out of Linux pieces and it is all about cost and overhead and total control. I hope this attempt, long overdue, finally nails it
Also having MSMQ infrastructure iincluded (please, please without any AD or Domain controller RPC synchronicity) along with fastest path to net I/O (whether HTTP(S), TCP with easy stream crypto or even some forms of reliable multicast PGM or anything) should be a HUGE selling point.
I have posted the below on the wrong blog :
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I cannot believe it, no plans for .NET framework: AWESOME! YES!
If you guys could only get the footprint down to under 32MB on core install that would be even more cool.
Please, please, please make this OS the fastest and thinnest by default.
No WMI either please.
No junk that isn't required, so we have an answer to Linux.
No RPC or AD or shell junk that blocks the entire box. Or a CD-ROM or floppy disk hang Windows is famous for. No Name Resolution by default would be GREAT!
We only need the fastest TCP/IP and HTTP stack on the planet (and lowest latency otherwise what's it the point).
Cheers.

Hi Senloe - it sounds like you have Vista Home Premium or basic. Unfortunately those editions of Windows Vista do not come with Windows authentication built-in for IIS. You will need to upgrade to the Professional or Ultimate editions. See www.iis.net/.../IIS7-Features-and-Windows-Vista-Editions for more information on which features of IIS are available for the various editions of Vista.
Thanks for catching this George - it has been fixed!
Thanks for good point vision.

Hi
I'd like to ask of the team can possibly direct me to any documentattion about EXACTLY what is needed in order to use VS 2008 to publish a website to a Server 2008 machine running IIS7.
Sadly we hit a brick wall, and this simple basic operation just will not work, I am told that we need FrontPage Extensions, but do we? If so WHY can I use Publish to publish to localhots and that works fine?
Given all the hype about IIS7, Vista, Server 2008 and VS 2008 it is incredibly frustrating too find that publish isnt working and that we may need FrontPage extensions from some 3rd paty.
Can someone explain WHY anyone would need FrontPage extensions? what are these for in IIS7 and VS 2008?
Sorry to post this here, but I can find nothing to help shed light on this.
Hugh, yes we are working on an article that will provide a complete story for how to setup WS08 to work smoothly with Visual Studio. Look for it on IIS.net around launch later this month. Thanks!

robert@rcdeleeuw.nl
Hi Robert -
Mime types are configured for static content, so the Web server can alert the client (browser) in the header of the response what type of data to expect and render. Mime types *are not* used for dynamic content, so you should never configure the Web server mime types to serve PHP, or IIS is likely to serve out your source code as plain text.
To configure PHP on IIS7, see this article: learn.iis.net/.../using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis7

By "local", you mean that another server cannot access that instance of SQL Server?
Also, what's with the 10 file connection limit? Does this mean that if I have a NAS with WSS that the Web Edition can only have 10 simultaneous connections to it? Is that 10 connection limit per server, or is that a global limit?
Nice little article.
Can you also define web.config to "hide" certain files/file extensions when directory browsing. e.g. I would like web.config not to appear in the directory listing (I know it is secure from download but it is confusing for end users etc.)
Thanks.
Hi Scott -
Windows Web 2008 doesn't block SQL server...but unfortunately SQL 2005 has a block in place during setup to prevent it from installing. The patch we are providing works around that block so that you can still use the same SQL 2005 setup DVD or install package you have. The only alternative would have been to re-release SQL 2005 with a modified setup, which would not have been very convenient for customers. :)
Hi Foobar -
By "local" database, I mean the database can be used for Web applications that are running on the same server. Windows Web 2008 is not meant for use as a database server, which accepts database connections from other remote servers.
I'm not sure what 10 connection limit you are referring to?
Hi Chris -
Unfortunately there isn't a way to 'hide' files from within the directory listing module. Our current directoryListingModule doesn't support that feature. The good news is if you want you can easily replace our directoryListingModule with a custom one that does this. Mike Volodarsky has some sample code for this up on his blog - http://mvolo.com/
Bill, thank you for your answers.
As for the 10 file connection limit, I can't seem to find it anymore on the Windows Server website. I guess I was imagining things :)

Even if Microsoft is not at fault for the SQL injection attacks, the malware specifically targets Windows clients.

Hi Max -
the exploit code is specific to SQL server, which is normally found behind an ASP/ASP.NET application that has not followed best practices. The exploit code doesn't work against mysql or other databases, which is why it appears to be an IIS/ASP/ASP.NET/SQL bug, but it is not. The same exploit could have been done with code specific to mySQL or any other database.

A few of our legacy ASP application were affected by this outbreak. It was an accident waiting to happen though. The blame is on the poorly written code, not in SQL or IIS. Since it is too expensive (and difficult) to fix all code, you have to live with it. I found an interesting and free (GNU with source code) application for IIS that proved very efficient. I am still being attacked, but the filter has blocked the effects of such attacks.
Installation and code can be found here:

The only bad thing is that it is not compatible with Windows 64 bits. I had to move all ASP application to a lesser server :(

To answer the 10 connection limit. I can`t speak for 2008 but 2003 had this same limit. It`s for *incoming* file connections only and is implemented to stop people using the server as a file server to users over the file system and does not affect connections to and through IIS.

Once you recover your web server from the attack you are not done. You may find that the seach engines now have cached pages for your site that include the malicious code. Yahoo takes a simple e-mail. Google takes an online form. I have been fighting for 2 weeks to get Microsoft to remove cached pages that are now 6 weeks old from their Live Search.
Who should be responible for fixing a website that has recently been affect by an SQL injection attack? Should it be the people responible for developing website or the company that purchased it? We had a website developed a year ago and it's currently being hosted by the developer. It has recently been attacked and now they want to charge us to fix it, but if this is due to their poor code shouldn't they be responible for fixing it?
The above component do not work and fail if SQL is defined in form action:

Hi Mojtaba - yes, all types of applications (ASP, ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, PERL, Python, Ruby, etc.) can use this URLrewrite module from IIS. Just install the URLrewrite module on any IIS7 server (Vista SP1 or Windows 2008 Server) and configure it for your site/application in web.config or using the IIS Manager tool. See the tutorials listed in my blog for more help getting started.

I am genuinely conflicted by this news. I want to feel good about it, I really do, but I can't see giving you guys credit for finally matching a feature that Apache has had for many years. Not only are you late to the game on this feature, you are doing it in a way that it totally different than the de facto standard (you don't have an "import my .htaccess file" capability? You don't think this would be HUGELY useful?) Moreover, YOU ONLY FREAKING SUPPORT IIS7 WITH THIS!!! A lot of people are still using IIS6 and won't be upgrading anytime soon (hell, some of us are still using IIS5 and aren't upgrading because it still works).
Bill: please consider making and shipping something akin to mod_write for IIS6. Even this "made different than the standard for no good reason" will do if that's the only option.
Bill Staplesのブログで紹介されています。 blogs.iis.net/.../urlrewrite-module-for-iis7.aspx
Hi Mike-
We only intend to ship this feature for IIS7, because it was designed to integrate seamlessly with the new IIS7 extensibility model. Unfortunately we can't do this level of integration with IIS6 due to architectural reasons. In addition, there is a great solution already out there for IIS5/6 users with http://www.isapirewrite.com/ . Be sure and check out that product.
Also, you may have missed it in my post, but there is definitely an 'import .htaccess mod_rewrite rules'. See this link: learn.iis.net/.../importing-apache-modrewrite-rules
thanks,
Yay. You blogged about me. ;-)
Thanks Bill!
Coming into the arena pretty recently has caused me no amounts of headaches trying to understand which is what and why! This is a very insightful plethora of information which I will refer to again and again!
Out of curiosity, is there any feeds we could subscribe to that list easily broken down by their specificity?
Una domanda tipica che mi viene fatta quando parlo di IIS 7 è se esista qualche meccanismo di rewrite
Scott,
I've gotten the above to work but I'm curious as to the ramifications of Step #4. Does that mean now that ASP.NET v1.1 apps will ignore any IIS configurable setting in their web.config files? I'm a tad confused.
不错;)
Hi Jon -
Check out the feature-name link for more specific information on the features themselves. We're working on a single page / RSS feed which will provide a consolidated view of the features available for download for IIS7, in the mean time you might want to subscribe to www.iis.net/.../rss.aspx which is an RSS feed of all downloads that get submitted (including community sponsored downloads)
Hi Brian,
By default ASP.NET 1.1 would throw an exception if it detect configuration it didn't recognize. By adding this configuration tag, it will ignore the configuration inside <system.webServer> where all IIS configuration is stored. If you think about it, that is ok. ASP.NET doesn't need to know anything about IIS configuration. It doesn't read or pay attention to IIS configuration and doesn't care that IIS and ASP.NET now share the same configuration file.
Today I presented a session at TechEd Developer in Orlando title “What’s New in IIS7 for Developers”

I've literally just found out about FTPv7 :o
I was disappointed Windows Server 2008 shipped with IIS6' FTP manager. This should definitely be included in a service pack (integrated with the Windows Server Roles and Features system). That would be the icing on the cake.
Hi Anonymous - this module is a native-code global module and would need to be installed by your hoster. Once installed, it can be configured in your local web.config of the site/application, however. For a managed code rewrite module that can be deployed in the bin directory of your application, see http://urlrewriter.net
Hi Anonymous - yes the FTP server built into Windows 2008 is the same old FTP server from IIS6 (and IIS5, and IIS4...) not much changed over the years, which is why we rewrote it from scratch. FTP7 is a major update with lots of new features, unfortunately it didn't make the Windows 2008 schedule. We won't be able to add it to a service pack, but you can expect to see it in Windows 2008 R2 once it comes out.
I'm not sure if this happens when you install the builtin FTPv6 on Windows Server 2008, but when you install FTPv7 it does not create a rule to allow FTP in the Windows Firewall. This would be the icing on the cake.

We developed in days new website with latest IIS7 and .NET Framework 3.5 technology for auto and moto advertises with sending MMS message supported with video: automms.lt/auto_advertises. So, not sure if at all neads write any articles for .NET 1.1, but it good to hear old good porgramming languages news and work arrounds :]

Sounds like a great product and something that is very beneficial like you noted in the content about having to go chase this and then go chase that. The only problem I have is that I have not upgraded to Vista yet due to need for VB6, VS2003 and other applications that won't work on Vista. How about those of us that are stuck with XP Pro due to Vista limitations? Only supports Vista and Server 2008. Why not XP Pro and Server 2003 too? This all goes to my one very big and key issue with Microsoft, you all create some very beneficial programs, but you create them for the latest and greatest. We all can't just upgrade instantly to the latest and greates though.
Overall though, the MS Web Platform looks like it will be very beneficial to those that it supports.
Hi, I've been interested in the web editions of Windows Server ever since I first heard of it for WinServer 2003, as the price is more than reasonable. One thing I'm curious about however: I know it supports things such as Sharepoint, and you can do most things you'd expect a web app to do.
Does that mean Team Foundation Server can be installed on it? I mean, it IS just a web app, but it integrates deep, so I'm curious if something would be missing (or if it would break an EULA or another)

I'm new to PHP and recently setup my local machine with PHP and MySQL for doing development. I was sort of stuck when I needed to post my work for the user to test and review. After looking around a bit I found a site that hosts PHP and MySQL apps. I was surprised that it was free - it seems they're offering the service at no cost until 2012. At that point they'll change over to a fee-based service. However, in the meantime, it's a great place to do anything from demo and sandbox right up to posting sites for real.
Their pitch is as follows:
"This is absolutely free, there is no catch. You get 350 MB of disk space and 100 GB bandwidth. They also have cPanel control panel which is amazing and easy to use website builder. Moreover, there is not any kind of advertising on your pages."
Check it out using this link:

Important: There's one catch in that you must make sure you visit the account every 14 days - otherwise the account is marked 'Inactive' and the files are deleted!!!

In case you haven’t already heard the news, ASP.NET will now be enabled on Windows Server Core starting
This is REALLY excellent news. Great job teams!
I don't believe xp is supported because IIS 7 can't run on xp!
Bill that is great news. Will Windows 7 also have the .NET Framework built in? How will updates to the framework be maintained since it is headless?

Pingback from ASP.NET supported on Server Core - Windows Server 2008 R2 : BillS IIS Blog : IIS.net
Greg,
Yep, the .NET framework will be built-in to Windows 7 (the server released of Win7 is called Windows Server 2008 R2, and will also have .NET fx built-in). Windows Update works on Windows Server Core just the same as with standard server, so updates are applied in the same way. See this blog for more info: blogs.technet.com/.../default.aspx
XP is supported, but Web PI installs IIS 5.1 on XP...which is the supported version of IIS on that platform. Likewise, it installs IIS6 on Windows 2003.

What about XP Home? Will IIS 5.1 be installed on XP Home?
Unfortunately XP home is not supported. IIS 5.1 is only available on XP Professional and above. If your computer can run it, I recommend going to Vista Premium or above, where IIS7 is available.
Will MSSQL be supportet as well in core mode now that we have a subset of .net ?

Thank you for listening, as I said before, what we need is a complete blackbox server administred completely from an external computer via an external server manager. The Gui has no business on a server what so ever.
Initial attempt to run the wpilauncher.exe generate:

Somethings that confuses me is the word sub-set of .Net framework. Will we be able to use all the features with in ASP.Net after deployment ??
Also, now that we can run Windows PowerShell within Server Core, how do we go about using the IIS 7 PowerShell Provider... is it the same way as in standard windows server 2008

Yes, ASP.NET and powershell should work just the same as on standard server. By 'subset', Microsoft means that the UI-aspects of the framework, such as Winforms or WPF, are not supported on server core, just as the Shell and other UI administration tools are not supported on the local server (though remote administration from them works fine). Hope this helps clarify -

Thanks for the great feedback. We've investigated the issue, "The 'META' start tag on line 3 does not match the end tag of 'HEAD'. Line 4, position 3." This is an issue on our side that we will be resolving in our next release.
As a workaround in the meantime you should go to your local app data directory and delete any xml files with "productCache" in the title. On Windows 2003 the location is here: <%systemdrive%>\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Web Platform Installer . If this still does not fix your issue please report it on the forums and we can continue to help you there! forums.iis.net/1155.aspx Thanks.
I also had this META tag error on W2K8 (x64) - resolved by deleting the productCache file in AppData\Local\Microsoft'Web Platform Installer

Hey Bill,
If I understand this correctly, it is not intented for consultants, is it? If I have a business that develops custom solutions for other business I can't use this, right?
Does BizSpark have a requirement similar to what the Empower has, where you need to develop a commercial product using Microsoft technologies? How will that process look like?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

what are the costs involved for the company for first 3 years. Would be great if there is a break down. Also will Microsoft own any software or other property of the business by providing this service?
We enrolled in BizSpark about 2 weeks after it was announced. It's been exactly as advertised. We set up a Windows Server 2008 server, added SQL Server 2008 and Team Foundation Server 2008, and installed Visual Studio 2008 Team Edition Team Suite (I think that's the name) on 3 developer machines. All for $100 due 3 years from now? Can't beat *that* deal with a stick.
The revenue requirement should increase some. Some start-ups may make more than a million in revenue but the expenses makes it way less. There is always open-source and developers willing to wrestle with help-forums if Microsoft does not help them.
Tom: if you "sell" a product or service to your customers, you likely qualify. If you "sell" your labor consulting for another company, then BizSpark is probably not the right program for you.
Anonymous: RE: costs. At the end of the three years you owe Microsoft USD$100 if you are still using the software. That is the only charge for being in the program, and Microsoft assumes no ownership of the company or the products / services you build.
Hello Bill,
I'm very interested in this opportunity but there aren't really any of the Network partners in my area. I've tried using the contact button to reach you and submitted for assitance the other day with no reply.
If you aren't close to any of the partners listed, what's the best way to get the ball rolling on this?
Kris, and to all those who have sent me mail interested in the program. Thanks for your interest! Due to overwhelming response I am a bit backed up, but I will process your requests the next few days. You should be hearing from my shortly! Thanks!
Does the business have to be Technology oriented. I have been developing a website geared towards commerce but continue to run into short falls. Alos what roll will the sponsor play it this opportunity.
Hi Anonymous - the start-up business does not have to target 'technology' as a solution, just offer products or software as a service to their customers (as opposed to consulting services where the labor is for sale). The sponsor simply nominates interested parties into the program. Those who sign-up are responsible for self-validating that they meet the eligibility requirements.
I have signed up to the Bizspark program and was wondering if there was any special licensing available for Virtual Earth.
I have seen blogs.microsoft.fr/.../25120.aspx which suggests a fee of around 6500€ a year which for our startup is a little steep. I have some really good ideas that could definately improve our product using Virtual Earth but until I have approximately 50 customers the cost will be too high.
Regards
Russell
Russell, thanks for the feedback! We'll work with the Virtual Earth team to see if we can get some kind fo discount for BizSpark members. While we don't have anything right now, you may have seen there are other Live service discounts available for BizSpark members:
Bizspark and Cloud Services
Web services and platforms are a growing, and rapidly evolving, part of software solutions. Processing “in the cloud” provides capabilities as diverse as mapping, identity management, storage and spam filtering. These capabilities can complement existing applications or provide the basis for completely new ones. Bizspark includes access to Microsoft’s current services and will continue to add new ones as they arrive.
Bizspark today includes access to Live Platform Services and also to the Community Technical Preview (CTP) of Microsoft’s new Azure Services Platform that was announced on Oct xx at the Microsoft Professional Development Conference (PDC).
The Azure Services Platform is the collection of Foundational, Developer and Live Platform Service such as Windows Azure, Live Mesh, Compute Services, Storage Services, Workflow Services, Identity Services, Connectivity Services, SQL Data Services. All developers will have access to the Azure Services Platform developer tools which includes the local development fabric. The Windows Azure operational capacity will be limited during the initial CTP, but will expand rapidly. Bizspark participants, will receive preferential access to the Azure Services Platform CTP. To sign up for the CTP, Bizspark participants should enroll and profile with the same LiveId they used to enroll in Bizspark . During the CTP, access will be assessed and assigned on a company-by-company basis and will be confirmed as capacity becomes available.
Live Platform Services (LiveID, messaging, etc) are mostly free up to certain limits and are available at http://dev.live.com . Bizspark participants should enroll using their BizSpark LiveID and will qualify for higher limits for one year of use. Specifically:
• 1M Unique Users (UU)/month for personal data API’s and 1M UU/month for Communications services (like WLML) for US
• 1M UU/month for personal data API’s and 500K UU/month for communications services everywhere else
Thanks for that Bill. I have been meaning to look at the Azure Services Platform.
Typically we are beginning to sign up clients so migration to the Azure Platform may have to wait until we have a stable release.
I made the mistake of implementing some nice features using Virtual Earth presuming that the licensing would not be a problem, It wasn't till I was thinking about releasing it that I checked the licensing! Doh.
This may be a big ask but if I was thinking about migrating our application to the Azure platform what kind of time would be required? We are using SQL Server 2008 - Linq to SQL and ASP.NET MVC.
The good news is Azure is great for building ASP.NET applications. It fully supports ASP.NET framework running in medium trust levels. It currently does not support SQL Server directly in Azure, but does support SQL data service through SSDS. See www.microsoft.com/.../data.mspx

How long will this offer be available?
I asked this at a local user group (AZGroups) meeting but the answer I was given was "as I said before, the membership lasts for 3 years", which isn't what I asked.
I need to know how long the offer is available because I *do plan* to enter into business selling online services and making heavy use of .NET to do so, so I could really benefit, but it may not be for a year or so. I'd like to know that I'm safe if I don't act right now, prematurely. Greater to my concern is that the business plan has not fully materialized so I fear not being accepted into the program if I attempt to try right now, and I make a terrible bullsh***er. :)
Jon
2 quick questions:
1: When you say, "in business for less than 3 years" when do you start the count? For example, we incorporated last year, but during that time we were still developing our application. We didn't start selling it until this year.
2. After 3 years, you wrote, "Startups can continue to use the development tools they previously obtained through the program."
I assume that means we can keep the software free-of-charge and continue using it? Meaning we don't have to pay for new development licenses?
(Of course hopefully we'll have made enough to purchase it by then, but I would like to plan for any future budget expenditures as well :))
Thanks for the help!
Does the business have to be developing web software? Can it be a windows application sold over the internet?
Thanks
I am developing a Windows application. Would I be eligible for BizSpark? Also, what exactly does the BizSpark Startup Program Guide mean when it says "How long can I participate in BizSpark?
For three years (renewed annually), unless the Startup goes public..." (the goes public part)? What does it mean "to go public"?
same meta error on win 2003 server web edition and win 2008 server web edition. workaround doesn't work as there is no such directory present!
Bill, What I and I think a lot of business people need is a quick way to get an ecommerce suite of apps up and running without depending on a lot of IT people. For example, I would like to setup a web store that accepts PayPal and Amazon payments, plus SEO, RSS, etc. so I can sell downloadable videos, T-shirts, etc.. Each product would have customer ratings and comments, like Magento offers for PHP.
Hi Jon,
We don't have an end date planned for the program, so for now it will be available for the foreseeable future. We're waiting to see what the response to the program is and hear feedback from members to determine effectiveness. thanks,
Re "in business 3 years" I would think it is from the time you start doing business (eg selling your product or service).

I'd like to suggest that the license be amended so that the requirements are: 'You can use the software obtained through the BizSpark program for three years from the date you enroll.'
Eliminate the company in business for < 3 years requirement.

Great Article Bill - I am hoping also that Amazon moves quickly to implement IIS 7
i thought 2003 did use iis7... hmm... at least its a fully featured 6 if not allowing multiple sites etc.
Note: Windows 2003 includes IIS6 and allows for as many web sites as you want.
The killer for me on this is price. $800/mo for a low-end windows server is hard to justify.

If they lowered the cost and got windows server 2008 and sql server 2008 then they would get mass adoption
Anyone know if it is possible to buy our own windows web server 2008 for 500 and sql server standard 2008 for about 1000 and then somehow put those up on amazon ec2? Is this possible and if it is would it be a lower monthly cost because I supplied my own licensed windows server 2008 and sql server 2008??? Thanks for any perspective and great tutorial.
It's too costly. I can get it hosted at a datacenter for a much lower price.
The problem with their service is that if the instance fails for whatever reason, all data on the instance is wiped out. You need to use Elastic Block Storage for any data you want to hang around if and when the instance blows up. Elastic Block Storage is an additional expense, and it is slower than the disks (it gets charged on both data storage per month, and I/O calls). So you need to create a volume of Elastic Block Storage and associate it to the instance.
To get set up properly you need to create an instance and configure the OS exactly how you need it, then image that instance. Then you need to buy some Elastic IP addresses, or when and if the instance blows up you get randomly reassigned a new IP address. This is also an additional expense. Furthermore, there is no means to automatically map the IP to the instance, or have the instance automatically reset itself and reload its image if and when it dies.
This is not a reliable solution for anything but an off-site development workstation at this time. It is not viable for a production system.
thanks.

We anticipate being able to offer Windows Server 2008 early this year, although there are no specific dates I can provide at this point. Thank you for your interest in Amazon EC2."
