ASP :: IIS 6 And Virtual Directory

Virtual Paths In Virtual Directory
Config:
IIS 6 Windows 2003
Site_A
Site_B

Scenario:
I need a virtual directory in Site_B to serve the files in Site_A (without redirecting the request) so I just added for example Site_B/A as a vdir, and set it's home dir to the physical root of Site_A (eg. C:inetpubwwwrootSite_A) sounds simple enough... not for long:

Problem (nb. I tend to use forward slashes as web/iis paths and backslash as windows filesystem paths):

The include files in Site_A reside in: Site_Aincludes and the include statements in the ASP code seem to be absolute virtual paths (if such a thing exists) for example:  Code:

Virtual Directory
Is there a way in asp to create a new default web site within IIS
I am setting a content managament system and want to create a new default web site during on of the processes.
So for example if people create a new site within the admin section and call it Jacinto this will create a new virtual directory called Jacinto.

This would then be accessed at http://localhost/jacinto

Virtual Directory
Here are a couple of links that describe how to create a virtual directory programmatically on IIS.

http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;EN-US;188954

I haven't had a close look at the code yet but it's not in asp/vbscript

Has anybody done it in pure asp.I would like to do it on a site hosted by a third party and I am unable to install any dll's or exe's on the machine because it is a shared webserver.Both .NET and Non .NET would be good

Virtual Directory
I have a virtual directory set up and it's fine. Now what I want to do is write files into them. When I try to do that it gives me a "path not found" error.How can I do this? Is this even possible?

IIS Virtual Directory
I want to write a web hosting application. But how to create a IIS virtual
directory programmatically in ASP page?

Virtual Directory
I have a website hosted on an ISP server, my code creates folder and places files in it using the FileSyestemObject. The problem is that I have to write the absolute folder/file path in the createFolder method, and I don't know the absolute path on the server, when i use relative path, the folder is placed on the system32 directory as the root folder (That is where the ASP dll is located). So how can I create folders and files on the virtual directory without knowing the physical path.

Virtual Directory
I created virtual directory(IIS) in which i placed images and scripts.I referred this directory from my application(ASP.Net).But during run time this folder is copied to my application root.How can i avoid this.

Virtual Directory
I used KB 308150 as a guide to create a virtual directory shared by a few webstores that my company hosts. The virtual folder and websites reside on the same box. The shared directory includes code files used by all the webstores.

The problem - when a user adds items to the shopping cart, ***sometimes*** the session variables get reset and all cart information is lost.I can't consistently make the error occur - it seems to be random.Also, if you have any different ideas on how to share code between many websites.

Virtual Directory Question
If we have two virtual directories the live and a demo would they both access the same dll (the last one registered)? So if the ‘live’ dll is the last one registered then the asp files running from the demo virtual directory will use the dll that is in the component folder on the ‘live’ virtual directory?

Cookie, Virtual Directory
The following script sets,resets or displays the contents of a cookie.

When I place the script in a directory under the iis root, let's say "mysite" (http://localhost/mysite/tst.asp) it works as expected.

When I create a virtual directory "mysite" and point it to the directory where the script is, the cookie can no longer be set after it has been cleared, even though it is accessed in the same location (http://localhost/mysite/tst.asp)

Anyone know why?

<%
' save this code in tst.asp
If Request("mode")="display" Then
Response.Write "cookie=" & request.cookies("cookie") & "<br><br>"
End If
If Request("mode")="set" Then
Response.Cookies("cookie") = "12345"
Response.Cookies("cookie").Expires = DateAdd("d", 2, Date)
Response.Cookies("cookie").Path = "/"
End If
If Request("mode")="clear" Then
Response.Cookies("cookie") = ""
End If
%>

<a href="tst.asp?mode=display">display cookie</a><br>
<a href="tst.asp?mode=set">set cookie</a><br>
<a href="tst.asp?mode=clear">clear cookie</a>
<%
' end
%>

Can't Include Virtual Directory
I have just taken over management of a web site, many pages of which contain
the line:


When I try to load this page (login.asp) I get the error:

Page cannot be displayed
Active Server Pages, ASP 0126 (0x80004005)
The include file '/admin/Includes/conn_Login.asp' was not found.
/CECO/admin/Home/login.asp, line 10

I realise that I have to create a virtual directory but am not sure how to
do this.

Full path to file is:
C:InetpubwwwrootCECOadminHomelogin.asp

Using IISADMPWD Virtual Directory
I have been trying to get my intranet web site to automatically display the change password page when the user's password is about to expire. I have configured the IISADMPWD virtual directory according to KB 184058. Reading through the KB articles I could find, I get the idea that there is supposed to be a way for IIS to automatically notify a user when they log in that their password will expire soon, but can't seem to get this to happen. Is there some sort of IIS setting that I need to do in IIS to make this happen or am I just dreaming here?

Create A Virtual Directory
I got an error and i don't understand what i have got to do it. It tells me to Create a Virtual directory but i do not know how. If i give someone the site addy, and files, will they upload it for me, it will take them about 2 minutes if you are experienced with ASP i am sure.

Access Virtual Directory
I've got a scenario with a web application where I must access the virtual directory being accessed from within the Application_OnStart event handler. Specifically, I
have a series of IIS virtual directories which all point to the same set of ASP pages. However, since each virtual directory is a separate 'application', each has its own
set data which must be cached.

To detect which data must be cached for each virtual directory, I need to detect the name of the virtual directoy being invoked from within the Application_OnStart event.
The problem is that the Request.ServerVariables collection is not avaiable within the Application_OnStart event handler. Is there a workaround for this?

Virtual Directory Setting
Webhost4life has their on control panel, which includes a button
labeled: "Set IIS Application".

It takes the user to a page which has a form that looks like this:

http://yourdomain.com/______________ IIS App ON/OFF

You fill in the rest of the URL and then select IIS App ON or IIS App
OFF.

QUESTION: What is this supposed to accomplish?

There is no browse feature, so I am not sure if this is supposed to
create a FOLDER or enable a FOLDER for asp, or what?

Virtual Directory / Session State
I used KB 308150 as a guide to create a virtual directory shared by a few webstores that my company hosts. The virtual folder and websites reside on the same box. The shared directory includes code files used by all the webstores.

The problem - when a user adds items to the shopping cart, ***sometimes*** the session variables get reset and all cart information is lost. I can't consistently make the error occur - it seems to be random.

Also, if you have any different ideas on how to share code between many websites...I'm all ears.

Cookies In Virtual Directory With Similar Name
the next is my platform
IIS5
windows 2000
asp vbscript
My working area has the next virtual directoy:

testAc (corrective ambient)
testAe (evolutionary ambient)
testA (official ambient)

testBc (corrective ambient)
testBe (evolutionary ambient)
testB (official ambient)

Every virtual directory above mentioned , has the same content with littles differences but not important for cookies or for the structure of my
applications.

When I enter in my application I set up in my cookies my language and my profile informations.

I set up the cookies with an expires date and I set the cookie value with a response.cookies("lid")=VARLINGUA (VARLINGUA is an application variable that I have recorded in global.asa).

There is a problem with cookies when I open more of the above virtual directory at the same time or when I din't have cleaned my cookies in my temp files.

After my debug I have understood that my cookies are recordered correctly in my temp files (testAc , testBc ,testA etc....) and they contains the right content, but when I try to read my cookie with the request.querystring I read the double content of my cookie(In my case I have found 2 info about language and 2 info about my profile).

It is possible for you that I read the correct cookie but there is also another value in memory.

I think that IIS has problems to read cookies in virtual directory with similar names. I have this doubt because renaming my virtual directories with various(not similar for example testAc I have called Actest, testBe I have called Betest etc...) I do not have more problems.

ASP Virtual Directory GetFolder Error
We have a webpage browsing folders within the wwwroot. We need to access a remote shared directory the same way.

We created a virtual directory in IIS with an alias pointing on this remote directory. The virtual directory is accessible when we type it in the address bar of IE but when we try accessing it with a Scripting.FileSystemObject. Code:

Virtual Directory Not Accessible From Web Page?
I've got an 'include' file that is referenced in a .asp file. The include file (users.inc) needs read a .txt file (data.txt) located on another server (within the same domain). At this point, I'm not able to read that file from within the users.inc file in order to take action within the .asp file.

Here's what I've got in the users.inc file: Code:

Creating Virtual Directory From Script
I have a function that creates a new Virtual Directory. I would like to alter this function so that it sets a few properties on this new virtual directory, namely I want to make it so "Execute Permissions" are set to "Scripts Only" (currently this defaults to "None".

Also I want to make the new virtual directory an application (as if I created
the virtual directory manually and clicked the "Create Application" button on the vd properties. Code:

Create, Delete Virtual Directory With ASP
I am trying to write code to create and delete a virtual directory with ASP 3. If it is not possible, then how could I do the same with a physical folder.

Using Virtual Directory To Remote Folder
I've created a medium large library of ASP routine and I've published on a
web server part of a NT domain.

Now I need to publish this ASP modules on other web servers part of the same
NT domain.

For not having the problem of synchronization and versioning of ASP modules
on different webservers I've decided to create Virtual Directory pointed to
directories of the first webserver.

What about my solution ?

Is there any other similar solution ?

Is the creation of virtual directory pointed to network share a good idea or
not ?

Cannot Open File In Virtual Directory Defined Via Share
I have 2 web servers both running win server 2003 with iis 6.0. On my
PROD server I have a virtual directory called CONV. It points to a
folder on the C drive of this PROD server.

On my TEST server, I defined a virtual directory called CONV. It points
to a share called prodservernameCONV. Note that the share name is
the same name as that of the virtual directory.

Using IIS on the TEST server, I can navigate to this CONV virtual
directory and via right mouse, click EXPLORE. I see all the content I
should but when I try to doubleclick on a file I get a message saying
"Security alert" - "your current security settings do not allow you to
perform system commands on this item".

I've tried everything I can think of on the security settings for the
physical folder on the PROD server. I extended EVERYONE from READ, etc.
to FULL CONTROL. I added the user called INTERACTIVE and gave it full
control. In short, I am stumped and guessing now.

Basically, I just want to avoid duplicating all the data files on my
PROD server over to my TEST server.

500 Error Running On A Virtual Directory That Runs Asp.net With No Errors
I do not understand why. I am running perfectly well asp.net on a virtual directory, but if I put a simple asp file such as this, and named it foo.asp, and try to run it from this virtual directory, I get the 500 error:

<html>
<body>
<%
Response.Write("hello")

%>
</body>
</html>

Any ideas why? I check the Properties of this virtual directory, and under The Virtual Directory tab, Configuration button, App Mappings tab, I can see .asp listed pointing to
C:WINNTSystem32inetsrvasp.dll . If I look at this folder the dll exists.

I'm running windows 2000 professional. But I found the same problem in another computer running Windows 2003 server, IIS 6.0

Virtual Browser
I have heard there is something called a 'virtual browser' which allows me
to check asp and html output on the complete range of browsers without
having to download each browser and version (side by side).I did a google
search and see a variety of links but nothing conclusive.
Is there a standard product experienced asp developers are using.can you
point me towards it?What are the limitations and challenges in using this product?

Virtual SMTP
My server has POP but only has SMTP if sending to my domain, and not other domains (such as hotmail). I'm therefore wondering, if anyone knows of any scripts etc, that will allow me to have a sort of "virtual" SMTP server on my site?. (I really can't afford to use a third party SMTP mailer).

Virtual Directories
In php you can have a script like: http://localhost/page/parameter1/parameter2
where page is acually a php script and the script gets the parameters in $PATH_INFO

I need something similar in asp. If possible without modifying any settings on IIS.
Here is a tutorial on how to do it in php. http://www.zend.com/zend/spotlight/searchengine.php

Virtual Addresses
We have aan asp content management system running on IIS6 that produces hundreds of pages from one page template so each page is called mainpage.asp?id=22 and the number at the end changes.

Is there any way of attaching a virtual address to the pages so they could have for example news_story or about-us and control this using a database?

Virtual Frames
I have a page that i find hard to maintain, or add new pages to. It is tha navigation bars down the sides of all the pages. At the moment they are all just like, well a normal page, so when i want to add a new page i need to go through ALL of my pages and change them.

I know there is a way, but i dont know how, to make the asp file call another file and basicaly ask for what goes in the side navigation bar. I have seen this done, it would have used framed, but personaly i think they are evil, you can only stick them to the top, side botton etc.... of a page. And i have made my page so that it is in the centre of the browser.

Virtual Terminal
I am trying to build a virtual terminal. Can anyone tell me if there is a way ti can be done using as? I as trying to connect to a Visanet compatle gateway using my asp shopping cart.

#include Virtual
Is there anybody know how to make <!--#include virtual="myfolder/qqq.asp"> working. My IIS correctly works only with <!--#include files=""> and it doesn't with virtual.

Virtual Root
My IIS server (Win2K) I created a new application, but when I #Include a file it goes to the root of the Default Web site rather than the root of the site? I tried

Response.write server.mappath("default.asp")
and got
c:inetpubwwwrootdefault.asp

I know this is IIS 101 but I cannot get it to work.

Virtual Path
how to put the virtual path in asp

for example
myFSO.CreateFolder("..myNewFolder" & fldr_name)

when i gave this path i am getting error saying "no path found" even though the path is correct.

Virtual Path Address
I have a problem with my login code. Is my virtual path address right? wr6077-02 is my pc name.

Otherwise, does anyone know where I can get a nice simple login bit of code? I havn't much interest in learning as i am building a website for my company and hope to never have to again! Code:

Cookies And Virtual Directories
I'm having a problem with cookies in a virtual directory,

A cookie is created by an ASP application in the root folder i.e.
http://xxx.yyy.com

I'm unable to read this cookie in a virtual directory i.e.

https://xxx.yyy.com/mydirectory in a Visual Studio 2005 application.

If I create the cookie in my virtual directory the application in the root directory reads the cookie without any issues.

Multiple Virtual Folders
I am an ASP web developer developing a website.I've got ASP files in many sub-folders of many levels deep.

I've always used:



The VIRTUALSITE name is really the virtual directory created under IIS.

I clone my website multiple times, to cater for different people. So, each person gets a different VIRTUALSITE name.This gets messy when I need to update the websites. I can't do a diff/merge because the files of each site had a "search & replace" applied to them to change the VIRTUALSITE name to the corresponding person.Has anyone experienced this problem? Can someone give me some tips/solution on how to resolve this?

Download Virtual Terminal
I've been told that I can download virtual Terminal for free from Microsoft.com web site.anyone got a link to it? I could find it on their site.

<!--#include Virtual=... Not Working
i placed the <!--#include virtual=... tag outside the <% ASP tags, and when trying to import the file from the same directory db.asp, i get the following error:

The include file 'include/db.asp' was not found.
/eu_softing/sesso.asp, line 1

Does anybody know what is wrong?

Session In ASP For Two Virtual Directories
Can a session be good for two different virtual directories under the
same site? They are for internal use only.

Would the session be carried from the virtual directories?

Site one is : http://fs1/review1/

Site two is: http://fs1/review2/

Absolute/Virtual Path For Images
I have a web project that has multiple directories. Some of the files in
different directories use the same include files. The problem is that these
include files also reference an image folder. I am trying to create an
absolute reference to these images so I don't have to make the same include
for different directories. What is the best way to do this?

Include Statements - Virtual Files
I am still writting VBScript code and .asp pages for our Intranet. Recently I learned how to use include files from this site.

I was very successful using include statements as long as I put the include statement inside the subdirectory that contained the asp files I was using.

I would like to put the include files in the root or a seperate directory and be able to call them from a page tghat is in a different directory?

Virtual Domains And Asp Include Files
Basically use Plesk to manage websites on a server and in the process of migrating domains. However Plesk creates virtual domains and all my websites use the following syntax to reference asp include files:



This doesn't work now as the websites were setup with websites and NOT virtual domains.

So how do I successfully reference these files now?

When I Use FileSystemObject In Virtual Folder I Have A Problem.
I create an user session with ASP in a Virtual Folder. When the ASP try to delete a subfolder in the same virtual folder app, FSO delete the folder but they clean the session and clean all session variables.

FileExists Method With Virtual Path
I have searched through the threads relating to FileExists, and have not found an answer (I did find one that dealt with using the FileExists method on a remote server, but that's not quite what I need to do.)

The script searches for all pictures in a particular folder on the server. The current script uses m:... as the path. The site will be transferred to a new host, and onto a shared server (so no more m:).

Here's the original snippet: .....

Java Virtual Machine Message
I am new to web development and have created a web site on an Intel server using a combination of ASP code that I created ,and portions of HTML code from various sources.

On several of the pages, it prompts the user to download Java Virtual Machine. I would like to change my pages so that it does not have that message. How can I identify which commands in my HTML files are using JSP (or whatever commands are needing the JVM) so that I can replace them?

Memory Working Set Vs Virtual Size
what I should be looking at when looking for a memory leak.. Using Process Explorer by SysInternals, and they have a Working Set and a Virtual Size memory column. Which one should I be looking at?

Managing Multiple Virtual Folders
I've got ASP files in many sub-folders of many levels deep. I've always used:

Virtual Path And Physical Root
Is it possible to include my remote web server path eg: m:/html/root/site1
| m:/html/root/site2 etc

....in virtual includes....

Thus eliminating the need to create duplicate INC files in each sub-domain on my remote web server host domain IP. eg: http://72.3.5.6.0 (www.site1.com; www.site2.com)

I would like to be able to use a UNIVERSAL INC file in the root of my web IP for the benefit of all my sub domains.
