i have a problem where my ASP.NET web application files (.js, .css, .aspx) doesn't get compress when i access it from https. However the files get compressed when i accessed it from http. Any idea what causing this problem?. It over a week and i cannot find any solution from the net. I have ask my network administrator to check proxy settings but they said all ok. My last resort to reinstall IIS but i need to know if you guys have any better solution.

I originally installed ColdFusion 11 in a local environment (windows 7) and selected "Use built in web server". Everything was working pretty good. Now months later, I realize I need to use a real web server for URL rewrites (Apache, IIS, etc) but there is no documentation I can find on how to do so.
I have attempted looking through the administrator's panel for any information, but couldn't even get a jumping off point. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
First, it sounds like you need to decide which web server you want/need to use and that could be determined by where you'll end up hosting your site. CF code is quite portable but if you're doing URL rewrites, file system access, etc... then you need to code those to match the production environment, otherwise you might find yourself having to rewrite and retest all that again.
As commented above, a lot of information about configuring CF for web servers is available by searching. You'll first need to install & configure your web server, so search around that first. Then you'll need to configure the web server to understand which requests to pass to ColdFusion's engine.
If it's IIS then you need to make sure IIS is installed and the following components are installed: ISAPI Extensions, ISAPI Filters, CGI, ASP .NET
Then configure an IIS site to point to your CF code and after that use the "Web Server Configuration Tool" application (installed with CF) that will associate the relevant file types with ColdFusion.
Most of the time it's as simple as that.
I'm a PHP/linux guy....
One of my customers came to me with an existing website/hosting package....
The hosting is windows (but with PHP.....I don't know, it just is)
I need to learn how to rewrite URLs in IIS..
I understand you usually do it with a separate thing you install, called url rewrite module?....Or, is there an equivalent of the .htaccess file which i can place in the root folder?
If yes, is this something that I should expect the hosting company to already have installed?
Is it done in PERL regex in IIS?
Please HELP.
I can't change the hosting comapny or any variables (windows/linux) in the current hosting as my customer cannot have a second where the site is down...so i need to know how to rewrite urls in windows/IIS
I am willing to learn little things like this anyways, for future situations...
It's IIS 7...windows 2008 and PHP...
I don't know if it's against rules to mention names of companies...please don't grill me if it is, just giving as much info as possible and maybe someone will have the same experience as me....
its fasthost..
Thanks
If you have access to the server / IIS then you can install http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite
This will add a module where you can configure rewrites and redirects.
If you dont have access to the server / IIS and this module is installed then each web root will have a web.config file which contain the rules and other IIS configurations. You will have to contact the hosting company to see if the module is installed. It usually is.
This page gives an overview of both:

I have a deployed a web application in IIS. Which used to work without any issues. Recently i have shifted that web application to another machine, Here is the problem. Once i setup the Webapplication when i opened the default document in IIS im getting the File not found error as following
Internal Server Error
\?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\application\web.config
I have no clue why the IIS is not able to find the web.config. The file is present in the path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\application\web.config but the IIS is looking in the path \?\C:....
Please let me know how to resolve this??
Firstly this is documented on support.microsoft.com so I would suggest that anyone who has this issue read this first as it covers a number of solutions which I won't
Now from personal experience I encountered this error after setting up a new development machine. What I had forgotten to do was install the Url Rewrite 2.0 IIS module. Sadly the IIS error gives absolutely no idea that this is the actually issue.
Therefore to solve this issue investigate the system.webServer setting in our web.config and ensure that you have installed all the iis modules that you use. I did this by systematically removing elements from my web.config until I came across the cause.
In my case, I was running ASP .NET Core website so I had to install .Net Core Runtime from
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/current/runtime
I know it's old post but I resolved the same issue as follows:
If you are using TFS and you are getting this problem then Reason is ".vs" file is not excluded from commit.
Because of that ".vs\config\applicationhost.config" gets the local version of another user/Developer.
To Solve the error, First open that file Update Physical path inside "" xml tag.
Also ask user to exclude this folder from TFS to prevent future issues.
If you are getting mysql localhost error. What I will do will work for you.
Control Panel(View by: Large Icons) >> Programs and Features >>
(Usually upper left corner) Turn Windows Features on or off >>
Internet Information Services >> Web Management Tools and World Wide Web Services
After Restart.
I've setup a website for IIS compression, but it doesn't appear to be working for HTTPS, just HTTP. Is there something that needs to be configured to get this to work, or does this not work in IIS? What options are there?
UPDATE: According to this the compression is occurring before the encryption. If compression is occurring for SSL requests, where do I see it?
UPDATE2: I went back to the metabase.xml file and discovered that the changes I made were gone. Here's what I had:
HcDynamicCompressionLevel="9"
HcFileExtensions="htm
html
js
css
txt"
HcOnDemandCompLevel="10"
HcPriority="1"
HcScriptFileExtensions="asp
dll
aspx
exe"
I'm wondering if the in-memory metabase overwrote the changes I made before I was able to run IISRESET /RESTART??
Thanks!

I'm not exactly sure how IIS works but I believe that compression gets applied at the end. If that is the case, then it won't work well with encrypted data, which has random-like characteristics. However, it may still be possible to compress your data manually in your application before handing it off to IIS.
The compression should work fine with both normal and ssl traffic, setting it up in IIS can be somewhat tricky, it's often not enough to just toggle the checkbox since it will only compress certain filetypes per default.
IIS Compression
Is your SSL site is pointing to the same application in IIS ? Are you using anything like an SSL accelerator hardware with your server ?
First try the form to the right on the port80 site to see if IIS is compressing: http://www.port80software.com/
For some magical reason ii6 started to cache pages on the server. Even if I remove the page, it is still displayed. I tried to follow couple suggestions but no luck.
That's what I did so far:
Deleted \WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files
Unchecked 'cache ISAPI extensions' in the IIS configuration.
Added 'Cache-Control no-cache' to HTTP headers in properties.
Tried to create the page that clear the cache http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/13/67641.aspx
Update: also tried to disable asp cache
IIS ASP Caching
But the files in v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files are still created
If anybody has other suggestions, please share.
Thanks.
Please give the delete permission for IIS user on below folder. these files will be deleted automatically by IIS
For 64 bit OS folder path:
\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files
My classic ASP pages WOULD NOT refresh from any browser. Finally, stopping and starting the IIS service (IIS6) fixed the problem.
You, too, can go bonkers, just like me. Simply have IIS start giving out stale pages! A bargain at half the price!
Did you try restarting the IIS server to see if that stops it from displaying? If it doesn't, then it might not be a caching issue.
I believe restarting the server is supposed to clear the cache.
Maybe the problem isn't the IIS, but a web proxy between your browser and your web server caching the page?
Or a wrong DNS settings pointing to another server which holds a copy of that web/page? You could also look on the same IIS if there is another web configured and host headers got mixed up, making you test on the wrong web.
I might just say the obvious here but have you tried recycling the application pool?
Thanks for replies guys.
I figured out that it wasn't the caching issue. I didn't cleared out Bin folder and the compiled version of the page with extension .compiled was seating there all the time. I don't what changed this time, but I followed the same process like 100 times before and copied files on top without clearing Bin.
I should be more accurate with such things.
