or... how to get around the idiotic security nonsense iis7 seems to want to use
*breathes*
given that i'm never going to get those 2 hours of my life back i will try to salvage something from them by asking here
i have a website (asp.net c# iis7) and i have changed the log file path to be a folder called "logs" in the webroot ... so my logs end up in something like "blah.com/logs/wsvc4/ex12345.log" and so on as they roll over
i want to be able to process them but am not allowed to access the folder from my cms code ... access denied exception keeps getting thrown and i cannot find anyway to get around it ... googling has found me nothing that makes any sense so i turn to (hopefully) far better minds than mine for this stuff
thnx

This is usually a permission problem. And it is your code that needs access, not the IIS so the user: IUSR_MachineName (or "Internet Guest Account"), won't do.
If it's a server it's probably the NETWORK SERVICE user that need to be given the proper permissions.
If you're not anal about security it's easier to give access to IIS_WPG (Worker Process Group).
If it's none of these then you can find out what the worker identity is by querying System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name

I am a .NET programmer I have only written windows forms apps against of mySQL. I am needing to move into doing some web dev for several reasons. What I would like to know is what technology/technologies should I learn? I am thinking ASP.NET, JavaScript and XML but I don't really know enough about web dev to make a educated decision about it. The first application I will be writing will be a small intranet for submitting problems, phone list etc the next app will be a web interface written using the business logic from a .NET windows app.
So...
Why use ASP.NET why not?
Is there a better alternative to Javascript?
Any reason to learn VBScript?
What about HTML 5 will that eliminate the need for any of these?
PHP?
JSON vs XML?
Now WHAT ABOUT WPF!!!! AND SILVERLIGHT!!!!
This is the reason that I have actually avoided web development. There are way to many choices and you can't make just one it has to be some combination of these.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you all for reading thisHumble Programmer

Why use ASP.NET why not?
A broad topic with many branches, too broad for a simple answer. It depends on skills, environment, requirements, etc., etc.
Is there a better alternative to Javascript?
No
Any reason to learn VBScript?
None
What about HTML 5 will that eliminate the need for any of these?
HTML 5 isn't supported on most browsers so don't even consider it yet
PHP?
What about it?
JSON vs XML?
Two different technologies. You can't compare them
Now WHAT ABOUT WPF!!!! AND SILVERLIGHT!!!!
WPF is WINDOWS Presentation Foundation and obviously doesn't apply to web development

Then you have been doing yourself and your career a huge disservice

And Windows development is straight forward with one choice??

Hi,
It all depends on what your goal is. If you are wanting to use windows as your operating system, then you should definitely use ASP.NET. Have you ever heard of ASP.NET web services? If yes, then those will do the trick for you. That means, you can make your architecture to be service oriented. Since your application is a commercial application, I presume that it has been systematically categorized in to a Database, Data Access Layer or ORM, Business Logic Layer, Service Layer (if any) and presentation or the UI layer. All the projects accept UI layer are .NET assemblies and UI is Windows Forms project. You can make the service layer as a .NET assembly or a service. If you have this classification, then you can simply add a web UI layer and use the the same database / business objects from the browser. Ofcourse that is if you decide to use ASP.NET...which is the easiest approach. But if you want to make the task more challenging then...Good luck.
If, however, there is any change in the OS or the environment, then you might consider other alternatives like HTML (supported versions) along with Java script, AJAX, XML and all. There is a lot of help provided by google to use javascript and other languages and technologies for web development. However, their main languages for business development remain Java and C++.
In my opinion, if you want your performance to be gr8, stay away from php and other dynamic languages for server side programming. php however provides a good help for development with 100s of starter kits available and can be used if there is not going to be a great deal of traffic (requests) for your web application.
There is more to tell...yet it will come to you by the way of research. So put your head down and get used to terms in web technology. Some of them are Server side and client side programming, Caching, Sessions, Cookies, post backs, http handlers, hits, requests, responses, url mappings and more...they are not technology specific. Since you have developed n/w oriented apps on windows it will be easier for u to sight the differences...
Thanks and Regards,
Bhushan

Why is that? I believe it was titled "Different Web Technologies" and I see it under the appropriate thread. Could you explain....

Ok...If this is what you are saying...I should have clicked the original question and then replied to that?...I thought that it was going one place and that is in sequence...for every thread created. If else let me know...
Thanks

Hi All,
I'm looking to create some kind of class or library that will manage multiple SSL certificates in a live web API scenario. It should be able to enumerate a cert store to find at least two SSL certs and then work out which one to use at any given time.
The basic premise is that the API should be able to support more than one SSL certificate. So when it comes time to renew an SSL certificate you can simply let the API know there is another one (via config) and when the web service switches to the new server certs, it will recognise that and automatically switch to using the new corresponding client one.
Is there anything in .NET that already does that or has one been created already by a third party?
Regards,

Hi Again,
I'm wondering now, due to no replies, that this is possibly a ridiculous idea?

In frontpage:
How to create an internal video with navigation buttons, forward, backward, play, pause and stop?

It's clear from your questions (and responses) that you need to spend some time with a good web development book rather than asking questions here.

But I mean how to create the video internally from which drop down menu I do it and from where to get the navigation forward, backward and play buttons. This is readily available in a program like a swish max but here I can't find it?
|
|
|
|
|
Available in Swish max by writing small instruction codes in actionscript like play(), stop().

You're not really getting the hints are you?
Go away and do some research, you need more basic understanding of web development and the tools you are trying to use before coming here.

ok thanks it seems that I understood the goals of this forum wrongly. I was thinking that this forum is for help but it seems it is not like that! So do you want to say to me don't send here again?
If you are trying to insult me I'll complain you to the head of this site!

These forums are for asking questions and receiving help. However, you have the responsibility to do some research before coming here. We are not here to do your work or give you answers which can be readily obtained by basic learning of tools and technology you are trying to work with.

ok that is what I do. I'm spending now over 4 hours just searching for my answer. I worked with frontpage and I know that its main purpose is publish a website. So it does hyperlinks, insert external videos and pictures, make any effects or arrangements to text. But this is really strange and I can't find an answer making research on Google provide me the basics to do what I mentioned before but not my question.

Search the Google for SilverLight.
Get the Expression Studio trial.
Once you have built a silverlight
video project you can include it
in your FrontPage project.
|
|
|
|
|
You don't need Silverlight to embed a video in a website.

I know how to put an external video into frontpage
I can use insert menu and insert any type of video or insert flash video of type .swf.
but my question is how to create video internally and as I mentioned above I made a lot of research with different keywords and I don't get ananswer?
If you could help me I'd be so thankful.

The reason why you've had an abrasive answer is because Frontpage cannot be used to make videos. Which you really should have picked up from 4 hours worth of looking, hence the irritation from other posters. It'll make the webpage you can view it from, it won't make the video.

I was asked this question in a job interview and I wasn't able to answer it so there must be a way to create a video from within Frontpage as they insisted in the interview to do it from within Frontpage. Thanks for your answer anyway.

I've worked with frontpage for a couple of years and I have never heard of this, nor seen it within the help, it simply doesn't do it, Frontpage is an html editor, not a video creator or similar, it just makes html. Messily but that's all it does.
Whoever asked you this was a tool or they phrased the question badly. The closest you can get is to include an ActiveX video componant from the hosted website files rather than one from an external. I don't even think Sharepoint Designer would (which is what I believe Frontpage became, someone can correct me on this), in fact I'm pretty sure it wouldn't.
To sum up: It's not possible and continued insistence that it can is fruitless.
