Go the second route.

wwwroot is simply there as the container for the default website for the server.  If you delete the default website from within IIS, then you can safely remove this directory.  Regardless, your sites have nothing to do with the default, so they should be in their own folders under inetpub.


That said, we sometimes have multiple &quot;types&quot; of sites on the same server.  For example DEV and QA.  In this case I would structure it as:

c:\inetpub\dev\site1  
c:\inetpub\dev\site2  

c:\inetpub\qa\site1  
c:\inetpub\qa\site2  



As variant:

C:\WebSites\my.site1.com

C:\WebSites\my.site2.com

if you prefer you can put your application folder on desktop of your server. It is really up to you. You just need to make the proper configurations inside IIS and grant necessary access permissions to your folder. That&#39;s all.

There is no definitive answer but

* C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Website1\
* C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Website2\

are the standard locations for web sites. For example c:\inetpub\ftproot could be used to host an FTP site.

I have an element with display: inline-block, but it doesn&#39;t seem to accept margin-top. Is this because the element is still treated as an inline element?

If yes, does anyone have a workaround?

&lt;hr /&gt;

**EDIT #1**:

My CSS is quite simple:

&lt;!-- language: lang-css --&gt;

    .label {
      background: #ffffff;
      display: inline-block;
      margin-top: -2px;
      padding: 7px 7px 5px;
    }

I ended up wrapping the content in another div and giving that a margin-top. But that causes a lot of extra markup and makes my code less clear.

**EDIT #2**:

`margin-top` &amp; `margin-bottom` on `inline-block` elements only seems to work with positive values.

CSS display: inline-block does not accept margin-top?

I&#39;m trying to copy a file to a new location, maintaining directory structure.


    $source = &quot;c:\some\path\to\a\file.txt&quot;
    destination = &quot;c:\a\more\different\path\to\the\file.txt&quot;
    
    Copy-Item  $source $destination -Force -Recurse

But I get a `DirectoryNotFoundException`:

    Copy-Item : Could not find a part of the path &#39;c:\a\more\different\path\to\the\file.txt&#39;


Should Copy-Item create the destination directory structure?

I have a number of websites that run under IIS on a single machine.

Should I put these websites inside of the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ folder or inside the C:\inetpub\ folder?

E.g. 

 - C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Website1\
 - C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Website2\

or

 - C:\inetpub\Website1\
 - C:\inetpub\Website2\


Are there any pros/cons for either or another recommended location (I only have a C drive on this machine)?  

I am not sure whether there is a &quot;correct&quot; answer to this, but want to follow best practice if there is one.

Many thanks,
Jonathan

I&#39;m trying to up load my site and I&#39;m getting this error message:

I&#39;m able to delete, insert and update in my program and I try to do an insert by calling a created stored procedure from my database.  

This button insert I made works well.

    private void btnAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
            SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(dc.Con);
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(&quot;Command String&quot;, con);
            
            da.InsertCommand = new SqlCommand(&quot;INSERT INTO tblContacts VALUES (@FirstName, @LastName)&quot;, con);
            da.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add(&quot;@FirstName&quot;, SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = txtFirstName.Text;
            da.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add(&quot;@LastName&quot;, SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = txtLastName.Text;

            con.Open();
            da.InsertCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
            con.Close();

            dt.Clear();
            da.Fill(dt);
        } 

This is the start of the button that calls the procedure named `sp_Add_contact` to add a contact. The two parameters for `sp_Add_contact(@FirstName,@LastName)`. I searched on google for some good examples but found nothing interesting.

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
            SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(dc.Con);
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(&quot;Command String&quot;, con);
            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

            ???
            
            con.Open();
            da. ???.ExecuteNonQuery();
            con.Close();

            dt.Clear();
            da.Fill(dt);

I have this section defined in my `_Layout.cshtml`

    @RenderSection(&quot;Scripts&quot;, false)

I can easily use it from a view: 

    @section Scripts { 
        @*Stuff comes here*@
    }

What I&#39;m struggling with is how to get some content injected inside this section from a partial view.

Let&#39;s assume this is my view page: 

    @section Scripts { 
    
        &lt;script&gt;
            //code comes here
        &lt;/script&gt;
    }
    
    &lt;div&gt;
        poo bar poo
    &lt;/div&gt;
    
    &lt;div&gt;
      @Html.Partial(&quot;_myPartial&quot;)
    &lt;/div&gt;

I need to inject some content inside the `Scripts` section from `_myPartial` partial view.


How can I do this?

Hey I got problem in running `.NET framework 4.0` website on `IIS7.0`.
the error I got is like:

**HTTP Error 404.2** - Not Found &quot;The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the `ISAPI` and `CGI` Restriction list settings on the Web server&quot;.


    Module : IsapiModule ,

Problem in running .net framework 4.0 website on iis 7.0

I have an ASP.Net c# project trying to access methods in a class in another project. It&#39;s working for first half of methods in the class but not for the other half of the methods in the class which I recently added. They compile, but they throw a method not found exception at run-time.

Does anyone have any ideas I could try? I&#39;ve tried:

 1. recreating the `.sln` file
 2. Subbing in another class library project, which I know works. It appears that the error is in my main project that calls the method in the other project.

Method not found on runtime

On my ASP.NET MVC application, I am trying to implement a URL like below : 

&gt; /product/tags/for+families

When I try to run my application with default configurations, I am getting this message with 404.11 Response Code : 

&gt; **HTTP Error 404.11 - Not Found** 
&gt; 
&gt; The request filtering module is configured to deny a request that
&gt; contains a double escape sequence.

I can get around with this error by implementing the below code inside my web.config : 

      &lt;system.webServer&gt;
        &lt;security&gt;
          &lt;requestFiltering allowDoubleEscaping=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;
        &lt;/security&gt;
      &lt;/system.webServer&gt;

So, now I am not getting any `404.11`. 

What I am wondering is that what kind of security holes I am opening with this implementation.

BTW, my application is under `.Net Framework 4.0` and running under `IIS 7.5`.

I have a `WCF` service running under a service user on my local system. Every time I try to debug it is giving me a message `Attach Security warning`.


In Visual Studio, by default (even without attaching), I get this error:

&gt; Attaching to this process can potentially harm your computer. If the
&gt; information below looks suspicious or you are unsure, do not attach to
&gt; this process
&gt; 
&gt;Name: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\w3wp.exe

What is `w3wp.exe`? According to a Google search, I think it is related to IIS.  But what does it do? What setting should be changed so that this won&#39;t give this message everytime I try to debug on my local system?

What is w3wp.exe?

I have an ASP.NET 4.0 application running atop IIS 7.5 on a 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise machine with gobs of RAM, CPU, disk, etc.

With every web request, the ASP.NET application makes a connection to a backend web service (via raw sockets), which is running on the same machine.

**Problem:** There appears to be something limiting the # of simultaneous connections to the backend web service.  Suspiciously, the number of concurrent connections is topping out at 16.

I found this key article from Microsoft explaining how to tweak IIS&#39; settings to accomodate ASP.NET apps that make lots of web service requests: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=821268#tocHeadRef

I followed the article&#39;s recommendatinos, but still no luck.  The setting that is particularly interesting is the `maxconnection` setting, which I even bumped to 999.

**Any ideas what *else* could be throttling connections?**

**Note:** When I cut IIS out of the mix and have the clients connect directly to the backend web service, it will happily open as many connections as I need, so I&#39;m positive the backend is not the bottleneck.  It must be something in IIS/ASP.NET-land.

Here&#39;s the relevant section of the `machine.config` which I&#39;m sure is being read by the application (verified with `appcmd.exe`):

I&#39;m looking to set up a TeamCity server for continuously building a .NET web application. I already have hosting, so I don&#39;t want to get a whole new hosting account such as AppHarbor.

I don&#39;t maintain my own physical server, nor do I want to.

I also don&#39;t want to have to pay $50 or more per month for an entire dedicated Windows machine, just to host TeamCity.

I really don&#39;t care if it&#39;s slow and on a shared machine, as it&#39;s just continuous build which will be running in the background.

I&#39;ll want to have the outputs automatically deployed to a server of my choice through FTP.

Is there anyone on the market providing hosted TeamCity environments? 

Anyone know of a hosted TeamCity build provider?

I&#39;m working on a little webapp (all client-side) I want to host it on Amazon S3. I&#39;ve found several guides on this and have managed to create myself a bucket (with the same name as my domain), set it as a website and upload some content.

Where I&#39;m struggling, and where all the documentation starts to get a bit vague, is how to properly configure my DNS.

All my registrar ([123-reg][1]) could suggest was web forwarding which gives me mydomain.com.s3.amazonaws.com

What do I have to configure, and where (ie. 123-reg / Amazon) can I get a clean URL?

Here&#39;s a Github repository of mine: https://github.com/n1k0/casperjs

There&#39;s a `gh-pages` branch to hold the project documentation, which is basically the project website: https://github.com/n1k0/casperjs/tree/gh-pages

This branch setups the documentation site at http://n1k0.github.com/casperjs/ — hurray.

In the meanwhile, I&#39;ve bough the `casperjs.org` domain to get this website available through it, so I put a `CNAME` file as [recommended in the docs](http://pages.github.com/#custom_domains): https://github.com/n1k0/casperjs/blob/gh-pages/CNAME — in their example, the operation is supposed to *create redirects from www.example.com and charlie.github.com to example.com*…

While the website now points to http://casperjs.org/, there&#39;s no 301 redirect from http://n1k0.github.com/casperjs/ (the old site url) to the new domain name.

Any idea how to setup such a redirect, if it&#39;s even possible? Is it a bug? If it is, where should I open an issue?
