Setting a handler property in IIS7

handler-mappingsiis-7

In executing the following command with appcmd:

set config -section:system.webServer/handlers /"[name='FCGIEcho’,path='*.exe',verb='*']".ResponsebufferLimit:0

I get the error message:

ERROR ( message:Malformed collection indexer; format is [@position,name='value',
name2='value2',...].  The @position specifier is optional, and [can] be '@start', '@en
d', or '@N' where N is a numeric index into the collection. )

I have tried every combination of double/quotes I can think of.

This is a valid property as mentioned here:

http://www.iis.net/ConfigReference/system.webServer/handlers/add#005

I would appreciate help from anyone that understands this syntax.

Just in case the above link is dead.

Use this:

appcmd.exe set config /section:handlers"/[name='FCGIEcho'].ResponseBufferLimit:0"

For site specific changes in config, it'll remove handler module 'WebDAV'

appcmd set config "sitename" /section:system.webServer/handlers "/-[name=WebDAV]"

Iis7 .net webservice 404 error

I encountered this issue while doing some test migrations of our intranet applications from IIS6 to 7. I was able to solve the problem by modifying the following section of the Web.config file:

<system.webServer>
   <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
   <modules>
      <remove name="ScriptModule"/>
   </modules>
   <handlers>
      <remove name="WebServiceHandlerFactory-Integrated"/>
      <remove name="ScriptHandlerFactory"/>
      <remove name="ScriptHandlerFactoryAppServices"/>
      <remove name="ScriptResource"/>
   </handlers>
</system.webServer>

Change validateIntegratedModeConfiguration to true, and remove the WebServiceHandlerFactory-Integrated from the remove list.

Oddly enough, from memmory ASP.NET adds those lines specifically IIS7. Oh well.

How do determine the dynamicCompressionDisableCpuUsage setting on IIS7

You can get this information from IIS_schema.xml located in C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\schema folder.

As per your question, the default value seen is

dynamicCompressionDisableCpuUsage -> defaultValue="90"
dynamicCompressionEnableCpuUsage -> defaultValue="50"

section from IIS_schema.xml

<sectionSchema name="system.webServer/httpCompression">
    <attribute name="staticCompressionDisableCpuUsage" type="uint" defaultValue="100" validationType="integerRange" validationParameter="0,100" />
    <attribute name="staticCompressionEnableCpuUsage" type="uint" defaultValue="50" validationType="integerRange" validationParameter="0,100" />
    <attribute name="dynamicCompressionDisableCpuUsage" type="uint" defaultValue="90" validationType="integerRange" validationParameter="0,100" />
    <attribute name="dynamicCompressionEnableCpuUsage" type="uint" defaultValue="50" validationType="integerRange" validationParameter="0,100" />

If you have a Web Site and want to know the httpCompression setting of that Web Site, you need to look into the web.config file of that Web Site root folder.
