Web site was working then my public IP address changed due to a move
I have update my public IP address here: And I have created a https certificate for the find-a-tradie.com.au web site using 'Certify the Web' windows software. All good that far. But I can't access https://www.find-a-tradie.com.au in chrome. So what settings in IIS do I need to modify to make it work again?

I want to enable access to the same website from two different URLs. The website is hosted for internal use. The internal URL is internal.example.com But now I want to open this website to the public using external.example.com There is no option to add a new building to this website.

Hi everybody! My company would like to use MantisBT and i got the task to setup mantis but i have some problem with it. I would like to run MantisBT on port 443 (https) but one application already use this port. (This application isn't based on IIS). The server which should run MantisBT has two network cards and using Windows Server 2019. The first (x.x.x.1) is used by the necessary monitoring application, the other one (x.x.x.2) should used by MantisBT. The problem is if i bind x.x.x.2 IP to port 443 than i got an error message: The process cannot access the file because: it is being used by another process.(Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070020) Any idea what should i do? Can you give me step by step advice? Thank you. Have a nice day! PN
Update to de lastest version of IIS
HI! In the company I work for, we have many servers with several versions of Windows Server (from 2012 R2 to 2022) and some of them have the IIS role installed. I have to check if IIS is updated in every server, so I'd like to know if you can help me whit the following: How can I Update IIS to te lastest version? I searched the web and looks like the only way to upgrade it is using WIndows Update, but in my organisation it is disabled by policy. I was searching for information about the different versions of IIS in Microsoft learn and all I found was this: Internet Information Services (IIS) - Microsoft Lifecycle | Microsoft Learn. I understand that there are several versions of IIS 10, some of the available only for Windows server 2019 and others only for Win Server 2022. Where can I find that info? Thank you.How to integrate with Angular ngCspNonce`
Good Day I'm trying to set up CSP Nonce support with Angular, using IIS on Windows-based Azure App Service Plans. I can't switch to a different web server due to other requirements, so I'm stuck with IIS. What I need to configure is a replacement for 'nonce-random_nonce_value' In Apache or Nginx, this is trivial, but on IIS how do I tell it to replace "nonce-random_nonce_value" with "nonce-<blah-long-hash>". Thanks
Need Help Understanding Why .NET SDK and Runtime Were Required for IIS Hosting of ASP.NET
I'm hosting an ASP.NET Core application (v6.0.33) on an AWS virtual machine with IIS. I installed the .NET Hosting Bundle matching the application’s version. After verifying the website runs fine with dotnet run, I encountered an "HTTP Error 500.30 - ASP.NET Core App Failed to Start" when trying to access it via IIS. After troubleshooting extensively—including checking various threads on Stack Overflow, GitHub, and Microsoft forums—I found this article https://www.quickpickdeal.com/coding/http-error-500-30-asp-net-core-app-failed-to-start-with-iis-a-real-world-solut that suggested installing not only the Hosting Bundle but also the .NET SDK and Runtime. Surprisingly, this approach worked. My question is: Why did I need all three components (Hosting Bundle, SDK, and Runtime) to get this application working in IIS? I expected the Hosting Bundle alone to be sufficient for deployment. Could there be a dependency that IIS requires that isn't covered by the Hosting Bundle?
How to Host a Rails App on IIS: Seeking a Simple Approach
Hello, I’m having trouble hosting my Rails app on IIS (Windows Server 2019). Unfortunately, I don’t have the option to choose a different server since the app will be hosted on an on-premise server, which also runs other applications on IIS (Windows Server 2019). I’ve read numerous discussions on this topic, and the most common feedback is that “it’s painful.” However, I haven’t been able to find a clear, step-by-step guide or solution. So far, I’ve come across the following options: Hosting with a reverse proxy Hosting with WSL Hosting with Docker However, I’m looking for a more traditional approach to hosting the app, similar to how one would typically host an application in other languages. As a developer with limited experience in server management, I’m not sure where to start. If anyone has any tips, tutorials, or guidance, I would greatly appreciate your help!
IIS issue - apsnetcore.dll not found
Hi, I am working on upgrading a server from 2012 to 2022 (on AWS). I have installed a fresh 2022 instance and have sued webdeploy to copy the entire IIS configuration from the 2012 server to the 2022 server. To try to further bring the server up to date, the 2012 server is running .Net 2.x and on 2022 I have installed .Net 8.x When I launch the 2022 server IIS runs but my websites won't come up - I keep getting a 503 error. When I look in the Event Viewer the error message I see is "apsnetcore.dll not found". I have spent some time trying to identify how to rectify this but so far have not been successful. Could anyone please give me any suggestions to try to find a fix ? TIAChunked data through IIS

Temporary error 403 on images
I've been having the following problem for some time now. Some images are repeatedly not displayed on the website (error 403). These are also linked as an image. If I click on the link, they appear without any problems. When I refresh the page with cache turned off, different images are affected. Does anyone have an idea? for instance www.salzlandkreis.de/bildungkultur/ringheiligtum-poemmelte/impressionen http and https same behaviorIIS Logs have Incorrect Date Modified
I have a server that is creating daily IIS logs (stored local) with a timestamp in the Date Modified that have the incorrect date for the "current" log. Example: Today is 9-10-2024, the current log is named correctly(u_ex240910.log), has correct information inside, but the Date Modified Timestamp is 9-9-2024 7:00PM. There is also a log file for u_ex240909.log) which has correct information in it as well. I have dozens of IIS servers, and this is not an issue on the rest of them. The Logging feature in IIS Manager is setup identical on this issue server and working servers so I am stumped. Screenshot of "problem" server.

HTTP 413 (Request Entity Too Large) in IIS with Sharepoint Solution
Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with a request from a client (Request Entity Too Large) I've already configured my IIS server to increase the size of the Request Filtering Limits to 52428800 I've also modified uploadReadAheadSize="10485760’ and I've also added to my web.config <binding name=‘LargeRequestBinding’ maxBufferSize=‘2147483647’ maxBufferPoolSize=‘2147483647’ maxReceivedMessageSize=‘2147483647’> but I still get the error returned by my client 413 Request Entity Too Large. I don't understand whyIIS 10 serving wrong ssl cert
All sites on our server when browsed to are showing one wildcard ssl cert no matter that these other sites have a different ssl cert set in bindings. I checked every binding and made sure to select the specific IP address instead of all unassigned like some forums said. All the bindings with ssl have a host name and Require Server Name Indication Checked. I don't know what else to do! Is there any help you can give me on this? I hadn't changed any SSL or binding settings recently and they just stopped working today. It just serves the *.hoaguru ssl certificate to all sites even if they are pointing to a different ssl cert in the bindings. The sites that do use the *.hoaguru.com ssl cert are very important. I cannot remove them.
No remote management of IIS on Server Core
Hi, I have three VMs running on a Server 2022 Hyper-V host: Windows 11 for management, Server 2022 as a domain controller and Server 2022 Core for Exchange 2019. On the DC I installed the optional feature "IIS Management" and downloaded and installed "IIS Manager for Remote Administration 1.2". Access to IIS on Exchange server works without problem. But if I do the same on the Windows 11 VM, I get an error message when trying to connect: An unexpected error occurred, connection was reset. I have tried the following without success: 1. use host name or FQDN of the mail server 2. use IP address of the mail server 3. use ports 80 and 443 (e.g. mailhost:443) 4. complete shutdown of all firewall profiles on both the Windows 11 client and the mail server The mail server's certificate is the original self-signed certificate that is created when Exchange/IIS is installed - I would expect to be asked about the trustworthiness of the certificate, but apparently the connection fails even before the SSL handshake. All four machines are domain members, name resolution and ping work fine. The Windows and IIS logs contain no clues. Several hours of web research have not yet yielded any results. Does anyone have an idea / a starting point? Many thanks in advance and best regards Stefano
The website had blank page
I need help with a Windows IIS issue. We have three websites running on the same server, and one of them is not working; the page loads blank. DNS is being resolved. When IIS is restarted, the first time a user opens the website, it loads; no other users receive a blank page. We use Cloudflare for DNS and WAF.

Hi, I have a lot of sites under IIS installation (4000-5000 sites). Don't tell me why 😕 I'm trying to add all of them at once in Performance counter to see which one is consuming high traffic but the windows mmc is unable to add them at once, I can pick up maximum 60 sites. Adding them this way is just nightmare. Can anybody advice me how to add all of them at once using powershell script? ThanksIIS Anonymous settings question
Hi Gang, When enabling the Anonymous Authentication, there is an Edit button to set a user. As well, there is also an option to specify a user in Basic Settings for a virtual folder/app in IIS. What is the difference between these two? Many thanks! ============== Found my answer in case anyone is curious...Basic Settings sets the user account for a more limited scope - disk access only. Setting the account via Edit button for the Anonymous auth option has broader access - disk, registry and network.
