IIS6 issue

Hello,

 > click add and it's adding empty field to SQL db ???

Does this mean:

1) It does not matter what you type in the form. After you click on the add
button, an empty field is written into the database.

2) If all fields are empty, and you click the add button, it will not
perform the necessary checks to verify that all fields are filled in.

In case of 1), you will need to debug it. It does not seem like a permission
problem, because something is written to the database. But the data does not
transfer to the database by some reason.

In case of 2), how are you doing the verification?

Are both IIS machines using the same .NET version?

It looks like a problem with ASP.NET, and not IIS. You might want to ask in
the ASP.NET newsgroup as well.

option 2. if you leave fields empty and click add button, it will not
perform the necessary checks to verify that all fields are filled in...
instead it's adding empty row to db...
It works on IIS5.... both servers (w2k and 2003) have all latest ms updates
(including .net framework 1.1). I'm network person who have to deploy this
application on web server, I was given this app by our dev person and since
this is working on IIS5 (w2k and xp) she believes this is web server settings
not a problem with her application, in my original post I pasted someone
elses finding regrding ASPNET and IIS_WPG accounts hopping this will put
some lights on it.
in addition what I can say as far as I know, is that id dev person uses
"summary error" (does not mean anything for me) on the page it works
regardless what IIS "individuals errors" ??? hope I'm using right
terminology, works only on IIS5.

Thanks

Hello,

Can you please try to run this in a cmd prompt:
C:\Windows\microsoft.net\framework\[version]\aspnet_regiis.exe -c

change [version] to the version that you are using (i cannot remember all
the numbers right now). If you have multiple websites, install it for the
correct website (you will have to use some additional switches, write
aspnet_regiis /?)

This will install the client side scripts.

Now check the page, does it work? If so, it seems like you (the developer)
are by-passing the server side checking (and that is why it writes to the
database), because what is installed is only client side scripts. But i'm
not an ASP.NET expert, so i cannot tell how the validation actually works
(unless i go and read the books i have here . But if i am correct, this
would be a security issue.

Hello Kris,

I have done this previously but did not work, this has something to do with
how IIS6 works.... please take a look at following link

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/proddocs/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/proddocs/en-us/aaconruntimeprocessisolation.asp" target="_blank">http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/stan...d/prodd</a>

I did go thru this myself but I'm lost... do you have any idea what are they
trying to say? I switched IIS6 to work in "isolated mode" still no luck, I
also tried to add IIS_WPG account to Network Services group nothing changed.
By the way our dev is using here client site scripting for whatever reason
it does not work on IIS6 (I already tried few IIS6... same outcome)

Hello,

IIS 6.0 does not execute client side scripts. It only sends the script code
to the client, and the client is responsible for executing the code. Is the
problem that the client side scripts does not execute?

If the client does not allow scripting (which is default on IE in Windows
Server 2003), the client side scripts will not execute. And also (of
course), if IIS does not send the scripts to the client, the client cannot
execute them.

Can you please search thru your IIS log file and see if you have any
requests for the file WebUIValidation.js? If you have requests for this
file, what is the status code? (404 or 200?)

I don't think that this is related to the IIS_WPG group.
