Web Server - Ask For Help / timeout question
« on: July 14, 2018, 09:04:39 PM »
NT 10.25
I'm not sure how to use the set:SessionTimeout entry from the Server Settings extension.
Other variables from that extension can be entered in the NetWebServer extension template.
But the Session Timeout field on the Settings/Advanced tab seems only to accept a hard-coded time. If I put in a variable it reverts to the hard-coded value.
Am I misunderstanding how that field is supposed to work?
Thanks.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: localhost not working, but 127.0.0.1 does
« on: June 23, 2018, 12:50:05 PM »
Hi, Wolfgang,
What happens if you open a command prompt and PING localhost
Do you get a response from 127.0.0.1?
(if you get a response from ::1: then try instead
ping localhost -4
to force IP V4. )
If you get an error instead, then read on...
Actually, I just learned something.
LOCALHOST used to be resolved in the HOSTS file.
But my HOSTS file now says "localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself."
So I'd guess that somehow whatever you're using for DNS is not resolving it.
You can override that by using the HOSTS file to define localhost.
You'll probably find three lines in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS
that look like
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
If you remove the # characters (which mark those lines as comments) from the second and third line shown, then your computer will use this file to resolve localhost instead of going to DNS, which doesn't seem to be working in your case.
HTH

Edit to add - if you want to edit hosts, you'll need to run notepad AsAdministrator

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: IP address/port conflict
« on: March 27, 2017, 07:54:42 AM »
YOU ARE A GENIUS, JOHAN!!!!
Thank You!
Works perfectly now. IIS listening on 10.15.12.114:80 and nettalk on 10.15.12.15:80 on the same box.
So here I was blaming nettalk for bogarting the port when it was actually IIS
Even though in my case it was not an issue with 443, explicitly using netsh http add iplisten ipaddress pointed IIS at the IP I wanted it to use... then I was able to set the bindings in IIS and it started fine.
Thank you!

I'll play some more, Poul.
But my kludge *IS* at least partially working.
If I don't specify to limit the IP, then the app responds to 127.0.0.1 or to the two IPV4 addresses on the box.
If I limit it as shown in my code, the app does not respond to the loopback or to the other IP - just to the IP I want.
BUT... for some reason, IIS refuses to start when I bind it to the other IP:80.
If I kill the nettalk app, IIS starts and binds that address fine.
So again, what I've done is partially working. I'll need to do some more experimenting. But just moving IIS to a different server in my production network has solved my immediate issue.
Thanks.

Thanks, Bruce.
My feeble memory *thinks* I did it this way because I wanted limiting to a single IP to be optional. And didn't know if I put it in the template as a string and then just left the string blank, whether it would automatically listen on all IPs (as desired). And was too lazy to take the time to experiment.
I'll do some more experiments.

Thanks, guys.
Here's some more info.
Simple IPCONFIG:
C:\Windows\system32>ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Ethernet0:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::598f:9611:c008:5369%12
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.15.12.15
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.15.12.114
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.15.12.1
Bruce, perhaps I'm setting the limiting IP for the nettalk service in the wrong place. I'm reading from an INI file, and then setting it as shown here:
In this case, setting its IP to 10.15.12.15
Trying to set IIS binding to using 10.15.12.114:80 as shown here:
netstat -a -o does just show 10.15.12.15:80, as Bill suggests.
If I temporarily set IIS to a different port (88) and set the binding to all addresses rather than to the specific IP I want, then (as BIll also suggests) netstat shows [::]:88
So from that standpoint, I'm even more confused.
Unfortunately, I can't play with it much during the day because the nettalk app is heavily used.
It's not a major issue... I've moved IIS onto a different server. Just trying to understand what I might be able to do differently in the future.
Thanks for the suggestions, and any others!

Yes the nettalk app is using port 80.
But only on one IP.
IIS should use port 80 on the other IP.

« on: March 16, 2017, 07:12:33 AM »
I have a nettalk web app running on a server that has multiple IP addresses.
I've restricted the nettalk app to only one address. And it correctly responds only to that one - ignoring loopback or the other routable IP.
My problem is that I tried installing IIS on that machine on the other IP address. It refuses to start on port 80. It will start on another port, or if I kill the nettalk app.
So I'm *guessing* the nettalk app is actually reading port 80 from all the IPs on that machine, but only actually responding to the one that's selected?
I wound up installing IIS on a different server, but wonder whether there's a way to do what I was trying to??
Thanks for any info.

Web Server - Share Knowledge / Re: PGP Encryption
« on: March 19, 2014, 08:13:34 AM »
Hi, Kevin,
Bearing in mind that we're just talking about the SFTP part of the process... I've PGP encrypted the file first.
Also... when I first set up an SFTP to a site, I'll normally connect manually first. A lot of times you get a "do you want to install this site's certificate" message.
My SFTP upload is two pieces.
There's a batch file, which reads:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" /script=c:\340b\Walgreen\WalgreenWinSCPscript.txt /log=c:\340b\Walgreen\Walgreens.log
And the script file it calls consists of:
option batch abort
option confirm off
open Walgreens
option transfer binary
lcd c:\340b\walgreen
put -nopermissions -nopreservetime c:\340b\Walgreen\OutputData\9310*.pgp *.pgp
close
exit
The "open Walgreens" is opening a site I've saved in WinSCP called Walgreens.
At least one other tweak I remember is needing to tell WinSCP to store its sites setup in an INI file rather than in the registry (since I'm running this as SQL Agent, not as a logged on user.) Pic attached.

All right, so the version error in 7.37 exposed me to the "error in site javascript" red band.
But even with that fixed and on prior versions, I've sometimes seen a flash of red.
And on an ancient, excruciatingly slow iphone, when I refresh a browse that banner shows up for about 2 seconds before the page completes and the banner goes away.
Is this something I've done?
