Status Codes UI: Know the meaning of your Status Codes
A lot of times I come across people who can read the IIS logs but cannot understand the meaning of the status codes mentioned. As always, they resort to a search engine to find out the meaning. Had some free time so I cooked up this little IIS 7 UI module that tells you the status code and its corresponding meaning. The setup for now is manual but I will work on a setup utility in a future release.
Hope you find it useful. Please do leave your feedback, suggestions and comments as always.
Installation Procedure:
1. Grab a copy of the required files. Download it from here
2. Copy sccheck_schema.xml into C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\schema folder.
3. Open ApplicationHost.config (C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config) and add
<section name="sccheck" />
under <sectionGroup name="system.webServer">
4. Run the program addcodes.exe. You should be seeing an output as below:
5. Now add sccheck.dll in the GAC.
6. Open Administration.config (C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config) and place
<add name="sccheck" type="sccheck.sccheckModuleProvider, sccheck, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=124c916c4cac2452"> in the module providers section.
7. Again in the modules section of Administration.config add <add name="sccheck" />
That's it. Now open up IIS Manager and in the Management category you should be seeing Status Codes. Open that up and you should be seeing the following:
Status Codes in also integrated with the IIS configuration so you can also access the status codes explanation from appcmd.exe
>appcmd.exe list config -section:sccheck
It seems like an odd things when you see it individually. But, mix it up with your other modules and applications and you will get yourself a pretty good solution.
Have Fun!
