I’ve been running load tests with two different ASP.NET web applications in IIS. The tests are run with 5,10,25, and 250 user agents. Tested on a box with 8 GB RAM, Windows 7 Ultimate x64. The same box running both IIS and the load test project. I did many runs, and the data is very consistent. For every load, I see a lower “Avg. Page Time (sec)” and a lower “Avg. Response Time (sec)” if [...]

When I created a website named Portal on my IIS 7.5 on the website permissions->security I got this user. What is its purpose? From what I have read the ApplicationPool runs under NetworkService permissions, but I noticed if I gave Portal user full permissions I could do the saving I wanted in the virtual folder without needing to impersonate any other user (I used to impersonate admin which was a bad idea). So I guess [...]

I have a website written in ASP.NET MVC (and that means, it runs on windows server), that i want to protect from tor users. I thought about setting up some rules on windows firewall to block tor incoming connections, or something like that. Does anyone have any advices maybe? I would be very grateful. Asked by ojek You can get a list of TOR exit nodes from https://check.torproject.org/cgi-bin/TorBulkExitList.py?ip=your.ip.add.ress where your.ip.add.ress is the IP address address [...]

Possible Duplicate: How to Deploy an ASP.NET Web API- and Browser-based Application to a Production Environment We have an ASP.NET Web API server that serves up a SQL Server data driven website. The API uses JSON to transfer data from SQL Server to the front end.

IIS 7 on Windows 2008 R2 Standard This occurred after installing some software. The same software enabled IIS 6 Management compatibility and other things, but the odd thing is what it did to .NET 4.0. Our .NET apps are all 4.0 on this server, but check this error message: Since it looks like it’s the 2.0 compiler throwing the error, the first thing we did was check to see if the .NET version for the [...]

I’m wondering what does asp mvc performance look like in comparison with php on nginx. IIS itself is much more demanding than nginx. But does it start to benefit at some amount of users? 1) Let’s say I have a machine 1.6GHz and 1.75GB RAM (parameters form the smallest reserved hosting on Azure). Will they perform similarly? How many viewers will be required to balance the initial IIS requirements? 2) Let’s now talk about a [...]

We are using load balancing and have three servers for that. On one of the servers the machine.config file had different machine key then the other two machines. Once we updated the machine key and made the value same as the other two, now we can’t run the website through that server. What do you guys think can be the reason? Thanks, Laziale Asked by Laziale HTTP 503 usually indicates that the Application Pool is [...]

I was looking a for a windows host for my ASP.NET MVC app and the prices in softsyshosting looked very decent. However i fail to understand, why do they offer codename “Enterprise” Shared hosting at the same price point as the codename “Economy” VPS ? Enterprise Shared: http://www.softsyshosting.com/windows.aspx The First Economy VPS: http://www.softsyshosting.com/windows-vps.aspx Why would someone be willing to pay the same amount of money for 350GB less bandwith, less database storage, less disk space, [...]

Let say I have an ASP.NEt application which is bound with more than 10 domains using host headers. Is one certificate is enough for me? or I need more than 1 certificate for each domain? If I need 1 certificate, then adding a new domain means reinstall the certificate? Asked by user960567 There are multiple certificate types. You can have a wildcard cert *.domain.com which is valid for all subdomains. You can have a single-name [...]

I have an ASP.NET application on IIS(Windows Azure) which has many different domains. All domains are working on http. Now, I need to use https. Whether, a single certificate is fine for all of my domains which point a single ASP.NET application on Azure or I need a certificate for each my domain. Asked by user960567 Well, The key point is that you can only assign a single certificate per Input Endpoint for Windows Azure [...]
