Whether you host in-house or with a managed Windows hosting provider, if you self-administer a web server it's sensible to understand that by default IIS 7.5 sets application pools to “time-out” when twenty minutes of inactivity. therefore if you don’t have a visitor to your website within twenty minutes the application pool can shut down those system resources. Then the next time a request comes into the site IIS7 can automatically restart the application pool and serve the requested pages.

This is an excellent way to preserve resources since each running application pool will place a certain quantity of overhead on the system. But, it conjointly implies that the primary request – the one that causes the application pool to restart – is incredibly slow. it's slow as a result of the method literally must begin, then load the desired assemblies (like .NET) then load the requested pages. betting on the size and complexity of your application, this would possibly simply be a couple of seconds or it'd take 30+ seconds (during which time a user would possible quit and move on to a different site).

If you wish to increase the length of the time-out setting, simply change it from the default of twenty to however several minutes you wish. you can also modify the setting to zero (zero) which effectively disables the timeout so the application pool can never shut down due to being idle.

To make this change, open Server Manager; Expand the Roles node; Expand the web Server (IIS) node. Then click on the web Server (IIS) node; Expand the node along with your local server name; and click on the application Pools icon. You’ll then see a list of the application pools that are defined on your server. within the right-hand pane you’ll see an option for Advanced Settings -> click that.

Once you see the Advanced Settings dialog box simply look for the Idle Time-out (minutes) property; click wherever the default “20″ is, and change it to no matter value you prefer.

This is only 1 of the many settings that may impact the performance, uptime, and functioning of your web site. If you don’t have the time or interest in learning and maintaining the various settings for a secure high-performing web server, you would possibly need to consider a totally managed windows hosting solution and let a trained and experienced administrator take care of the work for you.

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a cryptographic protocol developed by Netscape to supply communications security on the net. cryptographic technology uses 2 keys to encrypt data, one for public (public key) and another for recipient (secret key). SSL enabled websites communicate with a web server employing a security channel (secret key) that prevents tempering, eavesdropping (or merely say hacking). SSL is presumably used for a login section, payment system, on-line banking industry etc that's very sensitive info for a company or person. after we enable SSL for a web site the address can begin with "https://" (indicating hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) rather than "http://".

To test this, you ought to have IIS installed. there's no need for further software like Visual Studio or any other web site development kit because only one hypertext markup language file can be tested. Follow the steps to enable SSL on Windows Server 2012 operating system; another operational System may have a slight distinction.

1. Open the IIS Manager and choose root computer name -> and double click on "Server Certifications". look at the image given below.

2. Now within the window that seems you'll find "Server Certificates" that are already installed. No problem if another one already exists, I recommend to delete all by choosing each and build a new one. If you're not using your system to host an expert web site then, delete all. Look at the correct panel; you'll find "Create Self-Signed Certificate"; click on it. You'll be prompted to enter the friendly name for SSL and click on OK button.

3. After clicking on the OK button you'll realize a new SSL entry. Currently navigate to "Site List" and right-click on that to choose the "Edit Binding" option. Consider the image given below.

4. When you click on "Edit Binding", you'll get a new window requesting a protocol type. There is also 3 or four items, in my example there's only 1 by default that's "http". No downside if you've got many more. at least one ought to be there. now click on the "Add" button and within the window that appears choose the "Type" to "https" and "SSL Certificate" to "yourSSLname". after you are done, i recommend to delete all other protocol types, only keep https. shut the little window listing protocols at the end.

5. Now everything is configured and enabled for you. Let's take a look at it. Please note I only have the only protocol "https". Since browsers by default use http you've got to use here https while requesting via browser.

Today, I am going to show you how to fix How to Fix: “HTTP Error 401.3 – Unauthorized” Error in IIS. While working on my site, I got a small issue with IIS. I had set up a new virtual directory for the site but when the site was viewed in the browser the IIS error was displayed:
Server Error in Application “DEFAULT WEB SITE”
HTTP Error 401.3 – Unauthorized
You do not have permission to view this directory or page because of the access control list (ACL) configuration or encryption settings for this resource on the Web server.

As you can see on the picture below:

Judging from the error the permissions on the folder was incorrect. And a quick peek at the properties confirmed this. Admittedly, I don’t have much experience with  IIS 7+ (IIS 6 & 6.5 that’s a different story). So when I tried to add the correct user account to the I couldn’t identify the correct user account. Honestly, I was actually looking for IUSR_MachineName . As it turns out IUSR_MachineName was removed in IIS 7 and replaced with IUSR. So adding the IUSR user account to the folder and everything worked. Yes, it was a simple fix but it can be an annoying one if you don’t know what to look for.

PROBLEM

I got this issue when I deployed my ASP.NET 4.5 site on IIS 8.0 in Windows. When I hosted a web service project in IIS and browse that, got error with code

HTTP Error 404.17 – Not Found
The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler.

This especially obnoxious error occurs when you are trying to run a ASP.NET application in IIS 8. This happens because ASP.Net is not installed correctly for IIS7.

1. On IIS, Click on Application Pools in Application Pools look for the website name you added in IIS.
2. Right click on website and select Advanced Settings

3. Within the "Edit Application Pool" dialog, set the ".NET Framework version" to ".NET Framework v4.0"

4. Right click on Connection Name and then click Refresh
5. Now browse the website
