IIS comes with asp files that help redirect requests based on if they are local or external. Thinking that I had these saved in another location, I deleted them from the folder that contained my website. Does anyone know where to get them or how to get them back? I already tried running the installation again, but that did not seem to do anything. The files had names having to do with local and external; I cannot remember the exact names.

I installed valet on Kali Linux, and pinged a test domain to make sure it's working which it is. However, after running valet park in the folder directory that I have my files. It redirects me to xampp dashboard whenever I access the route on the browser. I know very well to type the folder name followed by a .test domain. I've tried almost everything online. I see this is a popular issues and I've gone through every possible solution I see online. It's still not working, I tried to rename the index.php file in the htdocs folder which gets render automatically whenever you access the htdocs folder, now it only list the folder structure for me as a result. I tried to move the project out of htdocs still not working. I stopped apache and tried accessing it again but unfortunately I got, "This site cant be reached"
No response.. Well fortunately i was able to fix it, not sure it's the best way. But hopefully this might help someone, i configured ssl on the domain with valet using valet secure foo.bar and it automatically redirect to https. That way, i was able to escape from xampp
Yesterday everything was working just fine but now today when I try to access a PDF or RTF file served by IIS, I get a 404 error (when accessing it through HTTPS) or a 403 error (when accessing it through HTTP). I can still access DOC files hosted by this server. What could have possibly changed to prevent the PDF and RTF files from loading? They are being generated properly in a folder that belongs to a virtual directory being requested.
Looks like I had two similarly named folders and the files were being written to one folder and read from the other, which of course did not contain them because they were actually in the first folder. Fixing this issue solved my problem. Must have goofed up a configuration setting somewhere that this broke...
So, I decided to try to break my website...I googled my site by typing in site:mysite.com/whatever and behold, all of the users uploaded files were available for view under a specific directory.
What kind of script/ counter measure should I use to block these files from being viewed? I already have a script that checks the path and the logged in status, however this doesn't seem to be working. I've looked all over for solutions...but I can't quite find one. I'm using ColdFusion 8.
This isn't a ColdFusion issue so much as a web server configuration issue.
You should either:
configure your web server not to show a directory of files when using a URL without a filename (e.g., http://www.example.com/files/)
drop a blank default web document (index.html, index.htm, default.htm, index.cfm, whatever) into that directory so that it displays that document rather than the list of files. If you use index.cfm, it'll fire your Application.cfm/cfc in your file path and use whatever other security you've built.
(or, better, do both)
The best way to secure your file listings and the files themselves is to store them in another folder outside of the Web site root folder. You can then serve them up using CFDIRECTORY and CFCONTENT. The pages that display the files can check your access controls and only serve the files to those allowed to see them.
I'm using multiple computers for development and I want to be able to store my files in my dropbox folder. I went to change the physical path in IIS from c:\inetpup\wwwroot to the dropbox folder but I get this error:
The requested page cannot be accessed
because the related configuration data
for the page is invalid.
I couldn't find the config file so I was wondering if anyone had done this before or whether there a better way to sync everything nicely across several PCs?
I tried it (IIS 7.5, Win 7) and it should work just fine to let your physical path of your web look at your dropfox folder. I would guess your web.config file generally contains malformed XML (see KB942055).
I'd suggest, try to map it to an empty folder just with an index.html file and see if this error still occurs.
As a workaround, I guess you can put Dropbox in your wwwroot folder and set up a virtual directory that points to Dropbox. However, there are some security issues that may hinder you from doing so. I come across a nice tutorial on how to set up Dropbox to IIS as FTP Publishing. Hope it helps.
Hodgin's guide on using Dropbox as FTP publishing.
I've uploaded files for my website from my home test server to my hosting account on awardspace.
It is weird that some pictures work when directlinking but others don't and I don't get why
It are jpg files, and it's in a particular folder /images
and even weirder is that with some jpg files in that folder direct linking works, but with other jpgs it doesn't. I get an 403 error, while the file is there. I can see it with filezilla....
So what is wrong? on the home test server direct linking works.
EDIT: I'm guessing it has something to do with their forbidden words list. Although it's odd as pictures do not contain text?! I certainly hope they don't enforce the list on a paid hosting account as I already ordered one...
I have been using Awardspace very recently, and used core-ftp lite ftp program to easily change permissions to read, write and execute. It all works fine with me.
