How can you change the message that is displayed by IIS when an app pool is restarted? - iis

When we restart the app pool on our IIS server, the web application that is using that app pool serves an html page from the file system. I'm trying to identify where that name of that file is configured within IIS so that we can change it. We would ideally like to control the behavior of what is served during an APP Pool restart.
I've reviewed all configuration settings within IIS that I'm aware of and can't find a mapping to the error page that is served from disk, which is named "restarting.htm".

Trigger IIS recycle on file change other than web.config

When setting up an ASP.NET web application using IIS 10, the web server observes the web.config file for changes by default. If the file changes, an automatic app pool recycle is triggered.
Is it possible to set up the IIS to recycle the app pool automatically as well if a specific other file is changed? And can it be located outside the web application's root path, e.g. its parent directory?

How to setup iis in Azure web app service with Net Core 2 app?

I develop simple Web Api on Net Core 2 and add Angular app to it (inside wwwroot folder) and publish it from my VS 2017 IDE to Azure Web App Service. All work fine, but when I reload page of my app in browser, server can't find route. So It often happens when iis not setup for SPA, It's described in https://angular.io/guide/deployment, I must configure the server to return the application's host page (index.html) when asked for a file that it does not have. How I can setup server node of iis in Azure Web App Service (web.config in Net Core 2 was deleted).
I am afraid you cannot achieve this.
Cause: Azure App Services runs IIS so it behaves mostly the same as local IIS, routing requests using a native module called AspNetCoreModule. So, it needs your published web.config file. Even though you deleted the web.config file, Azure would also generate a new web.config file to be used.(Though I don't understand why you delete the web.config file)
Solution:
Even you can upload the web.config file to Azure again, I'm afraid of that it will be ignored and doesn't work. So, I suggest you redeploy your website which contains web.config file to Azure and configure it well.
Additional: Azure Web App service is a kind of PaaS. So, if you want to install IIS manually, you can choose to host your website on a Windows Azure VM.

Issue in accesing a website hosting on weblogic server through IIS

We are facing issue while configuring IIS setup for weblogic servers.
Following are the environment details:
IIS8.5 on windows 2012 R2 standard 64x, wls_plugin_12.2.1.2.0 for weblogic server.
We have done the following steps:
Created a new web site on IIS.
Enabling the authentication settings.
Enabling the Directory browsing.
Added the script mapping in Handler mapping and set the path of iisproxy.dll as executor.
ISAPI filter setting for the iisproxy.dll
We are able to view the directory structure while accessing the IP and Port, but the request is not redirecting to the weblogic ip and port what we have configured in iisproxy.ini.
Is there any web.config or handler settings required to process the request?
The issue is that we are using wls-Plugin12.2.1.2.0 whose iisproxy.dll is not working in IIS8.5 on windows 2012 R2 server. After using the lower version of the plugin, able to access the web logic instance through proxy the IIS.
After that we are able to view the login page of web logic instance but not able to login to the application as it through s "404 Not found error". For this we have to change the handler mapping settings --> Request restrictions --> Mapping --> uncheck the invoke handle, restart the iis application and try browsing again. You will be able to login to web logic applications.

IIS Restart on Updating a Web Application

I have deployed multiple Web Applications in IIS, When I am deploying a modified Dll for any of this Web Application, I need to restart the IIS to get the effect of the new dll. This impacts other Applications. All of these Applications get restarted as I have restarted IIS. Is there any way by which I can restart the specific Application, for which the modified Dll has been deployed?
Yes. Create a different "Application Pool" for your app (in IIS). Make sure your app is assigned to the new pool.
When your app is deployed, the app pool is automatically restarted (affecting all of the other apps in that pool). By default, everything gets deployed to the default app pool.

Automatic Browse Service.svc file in iis

I have created a WCF service which i have hosted in IIS. When I start the service in IIS, the Service do not started until I browse my Service.svc file.
Application pool gets recycled after a specific interval, then when the Service is restarted I again need to go and browse the Service.svc file.
I have set this Service as Default bt it does not work and results the same.
Is there any way to automatic browse my Service.svc file when the Service is started or restarted.
This is a general annoyance with IIS. It launches worker processes to perform website processing which don't (always) start until the website has been requested. The workaround I've used in the past is to hit a page outside of my web application to launch the IIS worker process so it is available when I need it. Be careful though there are some nuances to the app pools that can make this more complicated than it needs to be.
