This one has me baffled. Everytime we create an application pool on a newly built server it and run it, it creates a folder in the root of IIS. Such as all our default IIS folders are configured at parent to be D:\IIS and each time a pool starts, it creates D:\IIS\POOLNAME. This folder contains the same permissions structure as the INETSRV folder and contains an applicationhost.config named as the application pool.
Some sort of wacky debugging? Anyone seen this before?

I have a website hosted on IIS and I created a virtual directory ("pictures") which physical path is "C:/mydir/mysubdir". Inside "mysubdir" there are many sub-directories (for example: "123", "456" and so on ) containing images that are shown on the website with a regular html tag.
Until now everything is working fine and images are shown, the problem occurs when the back-end application hosted on Tomcat installed on windows server and connected to IIS goes to create new sub-directory under the physical path, the images inside the new folder are not shown due to an Unauthorized access 401, the work around I'm doing is set share permission all the times the user is creating new sub-directories via webapp but you can understand that is not possible do this all the time, this must work alone.
I already set all read/write permission to the Administrator account, even shared the parent folder and set the inheritance but is not working.
The owner of the folder is different if create from tomcat (LOCAL USER instead of Administrator) and I don't know if this could be a problem.
Please help me to find a solution.
Thanks in advance.
You could try the below steps to resolve the issue:
1)select your folder under which the new subfolder is creating by another user.
2)Right-click on the target folder/file and select Properties.
3)Security → Advanced.
4)click on the add and add user application pool identity(IIS AppPool\ (eg: IIS AppPool\smartcrypt)), iis_iusrs, and iusr.
5)by clicking on show advance permission set full control. and in applies to make sure it set to this folder, subfolders, and files.
6)click on and apply the setting.
7)in application pool identity set one of these network services, local system or application pool identity.
I created a web app on Azure. I am having issues adding additional html pages beyond an index. Is there something I'm missing? I've been searching to no avail.
Looks like you want to define your own start page name for the web app.
Files added to root path(aka wwwroot folder in kudu) can't be accessed with https://webappname.azurewebsites.net unless you set Default document in Application settings. Just add your file name in the list. The first matching file in the list is used.
If your page is deployed to a folder under root path, you also need to set Virtual applications and directories(also in Application settings). Change the physical path value from site\wwwroot to site\wwwroot\foldername.
I have accidentally deleted the webapps folder in tomcat. I had 2 web applications there deployed as .war files and the default tomcat folder, "Root", "manager", "host-manager", "examples" and "docs".
Since I am on cloud amazon EC2 instance (ubuntu) and I have no use of tomcat manager, can I simply create a new directory manually called webapps and copy and paste the .war files of my projects?
Will this work or is this subjected to break something at some point?
Absolutely yes, your apps will be automatically deployed again after some seconds.
Moreover, you can download those Root, manager, host-manager, examples and docs folders from the tomcat distribution, and copy them into your webapps directory. The manager and host-manager apps will restart automatically.
Since the configuration to access manager and host-manager is inside conf/tomcat-users.xml, it has not been deleted. So the apps will work like previously, without any change.
I am aware that any change to ANY file in the BIN directory will trigger an application restart in IIS. Are there any other "special" cases where changing a file or moving a file in any other directory will trigger an app restart?
I know this is a very old post, but may be helps someone:
See this: http://programming360.blogspot.com/2009/04/what-causes-application-restart.html
ASP.net run-time environment implements a good deal of checks and automatically restarts an application if any of the following scenarios occur:
The maximum limit of dynamic page compilations is reached.
The physical path of the Web application has changed, or any
directory under the Web application folder is renamed.
Changes occurred in global.asax, machine.config or web.config in the
application root, or in the Bin directory or any of its
subdirectories.
Changes occurred in the code-access security policy file, if one
exists. Too many files are changed in one of the content directories.
(Typically, this happens if files are generated on the fly when
requested.)
Changes occurred to settings that control the restart/shutdown of the
ASP.NET worker process. These settings are read from machine.config
if you don't use Windows 2003 Server with the IIS 6.0 process model.
If you're talking full advantage of IIS 6.0, an application is
restarted if you modify properties in the Application Pools node of
the IIS manager.
If you change the web.config you app domain should also be reloaded and assemblies flushed.
We've just moved our website to win2008 and IIS7 from win2000 with IS5 and I have some problems.
I have a folder that in it is an ASP page that upload a file to an upper folder, in the old IIS, I gave to the folder with the ASP page the permissions of the administrator and it's work fine, the files could be uploaded to an upper folders. BUT in the IIS7 I can't do it, I give to the folder with the asp code all the writing permission and it's not working. It's only work if I give a writing permissions to the upper targert folders. I don't wont to give to the target folders a full permission because those are the main web site folders.
So how can I do it? How can I give a folder a permission to write also to an upper folder that doesn's have this permmision?
Thanks
One possible reason is that you are attempting to access the parent with a MapPath and this is failing because Parent Paths haven't been enabled.
Since IIS6 the ability for code to access parent folders is by default blocked. To do this it is necessary to enable parent paths. In IIS7 parent paths can be enabled at Server, Site, Application or Folder level. In IIS manager click on the site, application or folder you want to enable this for, double click the ASP icon, in the Behavour section set 'Enable Parent Paths' to True.
