I accidentally deleted IIS Express on my Documents folder - iis

I deleted the IIS Express folder by mistake, now WebMatrix doesn't work.
The only solution I found online is to open cmd.exe and redirect IIS to another folder to force automated creation:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express>iisexpress /userhome:C:\MyDocs\IISExpress
where C:\MyDocs is the new root location for your Documents folder.
When I try to use cmd.exe as suggested I get this response "The filename, Directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect".
How can I fix this?

IIS always search file in the wrong directory

On my PC (Windows 10) I wrote a new website (VB windows forms, .aspx files).
If I run the site from inside Visual Studio 2019, all OK, it starts and run correctly.
Now I need to have this site always "ON", I installed IIS, configured a "new website", name, directory and so on. I configured the new website in IIS to the directory where I develop, not in wwwroot.
Nothing works: I always have a 404 error.
To simplyfy everything I wrote a simple .HTML file, "prova.html", I placed it in the real website directory, and I tested it with Firefox: http://127.0.0.1/test.html.
Still 404:
URL requested http://127.0.0.1:80/prova.html
Physical path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\prova.html
It seems that IIS ALWAYS searches the file in the wrong path, but I configured the correct directory where the file is.
Of course if I place my test file in "inetpub\wwwroot ..." IIS finds and opens the file.
Any suggestion?
You can refer to the following steps to deploy the project in IIS:
Right click on your project and select publish:
Then add the site in IIS:
Solved ... installing IIS I didn't install the .NET part ... I feel very stupid.

There is a copy located in C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\config\templates\PersonalWebServer\applicationHost.config. You can use it to replace the corrupt one.

How to get freb.xsl file in IIS_FailureTrace directory

I am running IIS on Windows Server 2012 R2. I follow the follow steps to enable 'failed request tracing' in IIS:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kishorerajendran/archive/2015/05/08/iis-failed-request-tracing.aspx
I get a fr000001.xml file in my 'DataDir\Logs\IIS_FailureTrac directory, but there is no freb.xsl file. I tried go to IE and do http://localhost, that does not help.
How can I get the freb.xsl file?
On Windows Server 2008 R2, I completely deleted the W3SVC1 folder in C:\inetpub\logs\FailedReqLogFiles\ .Then I requested again the page with my error. The folder W3SVC1 was recreated, and this time it contained my failed request .xml as well as freb.xsl. (if that doesn't work, you could be lucky, try from a dos prompt, from c:\, dir freb.xsl /s. I've got multiple copies of it for iis, iisexpress, multiple web sites, etc... it's in My Documents\IISExpress\TraceLogFiles for example)

Add install from web tab Joomla error

When I'm clicking to install from web tab it gives me the errors below:
JFolder::create: Path not in open_basedir paths
JFolder: :files: Path is not a folder. Path: httpdocs/tmp/install_560ac9e0129e1
JFolder: :folder: Path is not a folder. Path: httpdocs/tmp/install_560ac9e0129e1
JFolder: :files: Path is not a folder. Path: httpdocs/tmp/install_560ac9e0129e1
JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find Joomla XML setup file
any help?
The problem may be because upload_tmp_dir isn't set in php.
Look in SITE > SYSTEM INFORMATION > PHP INFORMATION and check if upload_tmp_dir has been set. If not, you need to edit php.ini
On our servers (which use open base dir), the setting is:
upload_tmp_dir=/tmp
This value could be different for you, depending on your server configuration.
Check the permission for the folder /tmp. If it is a windows server, check if the webuser is allowed permission to create files and folder.

Symlink created with mklink not working with IIS7.5 -- Windows 7

So while in my IIS root directory (c:\inetpub\wwwroot) I've created a symlink to a network drive using:
mdlink /D truthuniversal "U:\Truth Universal Full Site\public"
The symlink was created just fine, and if I issue the cd truthuniversal command, while in the IIS root dir, I do indeed end up in the "U:\Truth Universal Full Site\public" directory area.
My problem is that when I type:
http://localhost/truthuniversal
in my browser's address bar IIS does not serve the index page which resides in the public directory. Instead, I get the following error:
Server Error in Application "DEFAULT WEB SITE"
Internet Information Services 7.5
Error Summary
HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
Please advise.

You need to create a virtual directory mapping to that directory in IIS in order for it to serve up the page. In IIS, right click on "Default Website", then click "Add Virtual Directory". Also, doing this, there is no reason why you even need the symlink. Just map it to the target to begin with.
I agree that virtual directory in IIS may be what you want, but if you want to minimize IIS maintenance, consider this:
Instead of directory symbolic link: mklink /D
try directory junction: mklink /J
This worked for me and the web apps are able to write to the same directory.
mklink /J App_Data d:\shared\App_Data
worked for me on Windows Server 2008 R2.
