Find New IIS7 Extensions at http://www.iis.net/extensions/

bills — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 22:55:00 GMT

I’m happy to announce that IIS7 Extensions have found their home at http://www.iis.net/extensions

Every since IIS7 shipped 9 months ago, the IIS team has been cranking away adding new features to the platform. Last time I blogged about how we do this, I realized we didn’t have a single place to learn about all of them, so I kicked off an effort within the team to create this. Now that the pages are up, it is amazing to see how many new capabilities are already available on top of IIS7…which all by itself had more new features than any other IIS release in the history of the product. It is a testament to not only the ingenuity and hard work of the IIS team, but a real validation that IIS7 is not just a Web server, it is a server platform. All of these new features are built on top of public extensibility points that any developer can use, and provide a seamless runtime, configuration and administration experience that looks and feels like they were built into the product to begin with! Here they are:

Today, we released the FastCGI for IIS 6.0 RTM on Microsoft Download Center.

It was quite a journey - come read about the RTM release and the history of what it took us to get there at http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2007/11/12/FastCGI-for-IIS-6.0-is-released-on-Download-Center.aspx.

IIS7 in the Community...11/7/2007

bills — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 22:32:00 GMT

The IIS7 community is growing! There have been a number of really cool things going on in the community around IIS7. Here are some of my favorites:

New Web Control Panels for IIS7!

I was very excited to see two new control panels for IIS7 hit the market this past month. I was excited to see the DotNetPanel guys be one of the first to market with an update of their DotNetPanel product for IIS7. They have a demo on their site you can try out now, or go download a copy for free (up to 10 sites!) The reviews on the download page look good. I was also excited when big-name vendor SWSoft released an update to their Plesk product for Windows v 8.3 beta which also supports IIS7. These guys are used all over the place in giant Web hosters, and having IIS7 support pre-launch is a really great sign. You can download their latest beta here.

New IIS7 Administration Tool Add-ons!

Rakki of the IIS/ASP.NET support team has published some really great IIS7 Admin Tool extensions that you may want to check out, including a new backup/restore UI extension, an IISRESET UI feature, and a diagnostics UI Module (called FREBUIModule).

How to install MySQL, PHP and PHPMyAdmin on IIS

With the introduction of FastCGI on IIS, running PHP on Windows is now a great experience. I ran across this great blog post by Shabbir which provides step-by-step instructions for how to get IIS, PHP, MySQL and PHPMyAdmin up and running.

Running 32bit and 64bit Side-by-Side in IIS7

For some odd reason I thought everyone already knew this, but I saw it pop up on blogosphere and quite a few people have cross-posted so I thought I better as well. Yes, it is now possible with IIS7 to run 32bit and 64bit AppPools side-by-side. Check out Rakki's blog for the scoop: http://blogs.msdn.com/rakkimk/archive/2007/11/03/iis7-running-32-bit-and-64-bit-asp-net-versions-at-the-same-time-on-different-worker-processes.aspx

Making PHP Applications Great on IIS7

Wow, this is a killer post by Drew Robbins on IIS7 extensibility in action for a PHP application. He shows off running Qdig, a popular PHP photo applications, using built-in forms authentication and the integrated pipeline, extensible configuration support, and a UI extension. It rocks!

Fun with http.sys caching

This is a great blog post by Rick James, IIS developer, on how the http.sys cache works and the kinds of performance benefits it provides.

Book Review: IIS7 Implementation and Administration

Andrew Westgarth provides a nice write-up of this new book by John Paul Mueller. If you're interested in purchasing a book on IIS7, check out this write-up and the growing list of IIS7 books on Amazon.com. I'm anxiously waiting for my copy of this 700 page monster.

Finding your way around IIS7 configuration sections with AppCmd

Mike Volodarsky writes up a great post on how to figure out the dozens of IIS (hundreds if you count ASP.NET) configuration sections and how to use them.

How to install VMWare Web Management on IIS7

This great post on AngryPets shows how to setup VMWare's Web Management Application for IIS7 and Windows Server 2008.

IIS FastCGI and PHP: What you absolutely need to know to host PHP applications on IIS 6 and IIS 7

mvolo — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 18:03:00 GMT

Everybody knows that IIS FastCGI is a great way to run PHP applications on IIS.

We've been making great strides at delivering a solid production experience for hosting PHP on IIS, for both IIS7 on Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008 and IIS6 / IIS5.1 on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP.

So, if you are looking to give FastCGI a try, where should you start? With all the coverage this work has been receiving, its starting to get out of hand.

Get all the information you absolutely need to know to get started at: http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2007/10/09/IIS-FastCGI-and-PHP_3A00_-What-you-absolutely-need-to-know-to-host-PHP-applications-on-IIS-6-and-IIS-7.aspx.

IIS Authentication plugin for the Wordpress PHP blogging engine

mvolo — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 07:05:00 GMT

This weekend, I was working on an MSDN magazine article and happened to install the Wordpress PHP blog app on IIS7. Of course, I used the latest FastCGI bits available in the box in in Windows Server 2008 Beta 3, and the latest Windows-optimized PHP 5.2.3 build from www.php.net. Long story short, I ended up writing a Wordpress plugin that allows Wordpress to use IIS authentication methods, including forms authentication.

Read about installing Wordpress on IIS7, the Wordpress extensibility model, and get the IIS Authentication plugin here: http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2007/08/12/IIS-Authentication-plugin-for-the-Wordpress-PHP-blogging-engine.aspx.

Re: Fastcgi php cookie problem

zopal — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 20:34:01 GMT

Hi Rick,

Finally I had found the problem...

I used Total Commander to copy the file, which is a 32bit executable. (For reference, for 32bit programs the %windir%\SysWOW64 directory mapped as %windir%\system32, not the real %windir%\system32 directory)

After I had replaced the %windir%\system32\inetsrv\iisfcgi.dll I got the following error message:

The configuration section 'system.webServer/fastCgi' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration

If I replaced back the original iisfcgi.dll, this error is message disappeared.

After the investigation I had found that originally in the %windir%\System32\inetsrv\config\schema\IIS_schema.xml file the dectaration was 'system.webServer/fastCGI' (Last 2 letters in capital) and in the %windir%\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config the declaration was the same:

but in the new %windir%\System32\inetsrv\config\schema\iisfcgi_schema.xml I found the following:

<sectionSchema name="system.webServer/fastCgi"

(last two letters are in small caps)

After I had corrected the %windir%\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config file, everything works fine, I just changed the following lines:

And finally:

started....WWWConnect::Close("195.56.189.106","80")\nclosed source port: 51393\r\n
WWWConnect::Connect("195.56.189.106","80")\nsource port: 51548\r\n

Fastcgi php cookie problem

zopal — Sun, 27 May 2007 08:36:41 GMT

It seems only the last php setcookie() is set when you issue more than one after eachother on IIS7 with Fastcgi (x64 longhorn)

I had made a copy of the php directory from my old IIS5 server (same executable, extensions, php.ini, etc...) to make sure to have the same environment.

The code:

<?
setcookie ("cookie1", "one");
setcookie ("cookie2", "two");
?>

wfetch output:
started....
Reusing existing connection (source port 51778)\n
REQUEST: **************\n
GET /ctest.php HTTP/1.1\r\n
Host: localhost\r\n
Accept: */*\r\n
\r\n
RESPONSE: **************\n

Date: Sun, 27 May 2007 09:42:57 GMT\r\n
Content-Length: 2\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
finished.

Normally the output should look like this (this is my old IIS5 server's output):

started....

WWWConnect::Connect("1.1.1.1","80")\n
source port: 51800\r\n

Content-type: text/html\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
WWWConnect::Close("1.1.1.1","80")\n
closed source port: 51800\r\n
finished.

ps: I had tried with the x64 php executables and the result is the same.

ps2: If I change to cgi (not fastcgi), it works well with the same executables
