Hi;

I create avitars in a program Avitar.cs. Works great in VS 2008, not
in IIS. In IIS https://www.windwardreports.com/apps/avitar-6097.png
returns an error 404

In VS2008 http://localhost:2716/store/avitar-6097.png works fine.

In VS 2008 I have:
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="*" path="avitar-*.*" type="Avitar"/>
</httpHandlers>

In IIS I have tried both
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="*" path="avitar-*.*" type="Avitar"/>
</httpHandlers>

and
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="*" path="apps/avitar-*.*" type="Avitar"/>
</httpHandlers>

But neither works. I know it's something simple but I can't figure it
out.

help - thanks - dave

For IIS 7 please add the handler in the following position of web.config:

<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<remove name="WebServiceHandlerFactory-Integrated"/>
<remove name="ScriptHandlerFactory" />
<remove name="ScriptHandlerFactoryAppServices" />
<remove name="ScriptResource" />

<!--Register your handler here, and speicify a name for it, for instance,
<add name="MyHttpHandler" verb="*" path="*.*" type="LogComponent.MyHandler"
/>-->


<add name="ScriptHandlerFactory" verb="*" path="*.asmx"
preCondition="integratedMode"
type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory,
System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
<add name="ScriptHandlerFactoryAppServices" verb="*"
path="*_AppService.axd" preCondition="integratedMode"
type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory,
System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
<add name="ScriptResource" preCondition="integratedMode"
verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd"
type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions,
Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>

After publishing you can check the Handler Mappings of this site in IIS.
The handler you registered should appear there. If not you can manually
register it by click "Add Managed Handler" in the actions panel.

re:

You have a permissions problem.

You need to check which account ASP.NET is running as.

When you use the ASP.NET Development server in VS 2008,
ASP.NET runs as the machine\Administrator account.

When you use IIS, ASP.NET runs as a different account.

Under Windows Server 2003, that account usually is Network Service.
It may be different when IIS runs under a different OS.

Save this code as "identity.aspx" and run it in IIS :

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<%
Response.Write("ASP.NET is running as the account : " & Environment.Username)
%>
</body>
</html>

Running that file will tell you which account needs read/write
permissions when you run your Avatar app under IIS.

unbelieveable mess?

Don't forget to do the simple "which account needs permissions" test code I posted.

IIS 7 supports both classic mode and integrated mode. Therefore the ways to
register HttpHandler are different for these two modes. (and different with
IIS 6)

You can refer to this documentation to learn how to register HttpHandler:

As it's just an httpHandler and no file actually exists, is R/W
permission needed?

thanks - dave

Got it working!!! Your instructions were exactly right, we had 1 thing
get dropped in communication between 3 people here.

thanks - dave


Hi Dave,


Do you mean after registering the handler in <system.webServer> you still
get 404 error?

Could you try the following way to add the handler? It's another option
that uses IIS UI to add managed handler. Can it work?
