    Re: Create Virtual Directory in IIS using VB.NET

    I'm a little new to VB.NET.
    The properties collection is of type PropertyCollection.
    What's the type of each of the elements (the one to use in the for each loop)?

    Instead of LocalHost pass the IP address.

    Re: Create Virtual Directory in IIS using VB.NET

    ...then again...it completely depends on what project you are writting. MS SQL Svr my be complete overkill for very very small projects.

    Re: Create Virtual Directory in IIS using VB.NET

    Ideas on what?
    If your client wants My SQL then use My SQL...I wudn't. I would use SQL Svr...MSDE 2000 or MSDE 2005 Express.
    My SQL won't cause you any issues I don't think, it's just not as good as SQL Server.

    You want to be asking these kind of questions in the DB section...you'll get a bigger response.

    Exclamation Re: Create Virtual Directory in IIS using VB.NET

    Hi Chaps,

    I'm new to this site and registered purely on the back of this excellent piece of work to create virtual directories in VB.NET.

    But, I'm having a problem with the RPC issue.

    I can't just turn the firewall off (company policy I'm afraid! ).

    Is there any further developments with getting round this RPC issue? Are there any exceptions I should set within Windows Firewall to allow this IIS change from the application I've created?

    For further information, the error I receive is this:-

    System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMExeption occured in system.directoryservices.dll

    Additional information: The RPC server is unavailable.

    This occurs on the following line within the code:

    Dim CanCreate as Boolean = Not IISSchema.Properties("Syntax").Value.ToString.ToUpper() = "Boolean"

    Any help would be really appreciated!

    Thanks

    Re: Create Virtual Directory in IIS using VB.NET

    Hi and welcome

    This is a tricky one. It can be caused by many many things. Firewalls just being one of them
    Does your company use a 3rd party firewall? If so, turning off the windows firewall may fix the issue.
    Not exactly sure what ports need to be open I am afraid

    If you run this on the web server itself do you get the errors?

    Re: Create Virtual Directory in IIS using VB.NET

    I'm not sure exactly how their firewall is set up. It's quite a big company (British Telecom!!! lol).

    I'm writing a system to automate the installation of a web application we have developed. Part of the automation is to manipulate IIS and create the virtual directories.

    The script has been ran from the web server itself (i.e. localhost) but still this RPC error is returned.

    I will do some investigating myself and if I find a solution I'll post it. I'm not holding my breath though!

    Cheers

    Re: Create Virtual Directory in IIS using VB.NET

    hehe. BT. I was working there not so long ago and they have some of the most locked down environments I have ever seen.
    Have you heard of HMC, Hosted Message Collaboration? or MPS, Microsoft Provisioning System?
    I did some overview dev training on these products for BT a few months ago.
    MPS was designed to provision resources in your environment...any resources.
    Have a word with ppl at BT and see if they have heard of HMC....if so, use that

    So, you also got the error on the local IIS box? doesn't sound good.
    Does the local IIS box have windows firewall running?

    Re: Create Virtual Directory in IIS using VB.NET

    In order for the App Name to be populated correctly, you have to swap these two lines
    VDir.CommitChanges()
    VDir.Invoke("AppCreate", 1)

    Should be
    VDir.Invoke("AppCreate", 1)
    VDir.CommitChanges()

    If you don't swap the two lines, the AppFriendlyName will appear blank when you look at the properties of your Virtual Directoy.

    Other than that, excellent code. Thanks

    Re: Create Virtual Directory in IIS using VB.NET

    Hi Woka..
    I only registered to this site to say thank you for the post. Two years later and it's still working and helping people like me. Thank you to all of you. I rewrite the code in c# but for some reason I couldn't figure out it's not working. So I decided to write it in VB.Net and use it as a DLL, which is working perfectly. Weird isn't it?

    Re: Create Virtual Directory in IIS using VB.NET

    Hi Woka! Thanks for letting us use the code I really appreciate it. The code seemed to be working when I was running it through visual studios, but after we uploaded onto the server I am getting the RPC unavailable error. I'm not sure what to do to fix this, we checked the firewall and are logging in as administrator so I'm not sure what else can be the problem. Do you have any ideas? Here is the stack trace error that follows:
    [COMException (0x800706ba): The RPC server is unavailable.
    ]
    System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind(Boolean throwIfFail) +377678
    System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind() +36

    System.DirectoryServices.PropertyValueCollection.PopulateList() +26

    Re: Create Virtual Directory in IIS using VB.NET

    Nevermind I found what was wrong. I was hardcoding the name for my box while I was coding instead of putting the localhost name. Everything seems to be working fine now
