Hello, I will soon installed a small Ajax Asp.Net "single page" site on a client site. This page is simply polling a Asp.Net Web service, which fetchs and returns parameters (temperature, air conditioning status...) to be displayed on the page. This is implemented with an Ajax Timer control server. Now this is my first "industrial" web site, and I'm concerned about its robustness. Do I need to create a specific pool on IIS 6 for the web service and the site ? I'm aware than it is possible to "recycle" a pool. Do I need this ? If the site/service is down, how can I automaticllay try to restart it ? Best regards

You don't 'need' to but its a good idea to isolate your app from others allowing you to make app pool setting choices applicable to your app. > I'm aware than it is possible to "recycle" a pool. Do I need this ? Recycling is default on an app pool. For your sort of app regular recycling after a period of time or after specified number of requests is undesirable turn those off. You'll want health monitoring on (where the app pools is pinged to check its still responsive). If you have reason to believe there is some small leak that might bring the pool down at some point and you have an 'out-of-hours' window then schedule a re-cycle in that window. > If the site/service is down, how can I automaticllay try to restart it ? > The will the default behaviour. If the app pool crashes subsequent requests will start a new process. -- Anthony Jones - MVP ASP/ASP.NET
Hi Anthony, Thank you for your answer.

Application pool identities must be members of this group so the application pool can register with Http.sys." So if I set a new pool with a new identity, I suppose that that identity should be in the IIS_WPG pool... In fact, I'm a bit confused between the identity of the worker process (which is I think the identity of the pool) and the account IUSR_ComputerName, which is the account the anonymous user is mapped with. Above all, I can impersonate the asp.net website in the web.config file... Is there a document which clears up that matter ? My question: if I want to access resources on the server from the web site server code, what account is used ? Best regards Another (simple) question: is wwwroot the better directory to install a intranet web server on a IIS 6.0 w2k3 server ?

In your case it sounds like you want anonymous access to an intranet style application. Which account is used by ASP.NET code to access server resources depend on whether you have enabled impersonate in the web.config. With impersonate on it will use the authenticated user for the connection which for anonymous connections will be the IUSR account. With impersonate off it will the app pool identity. My recommendation in this case would be to leave impersonate off and use the pool identity. Further unless you have some reason to want to protect resources from other web sites and services running on the server leave the pool identity at the default NETWORK SERVICE then grant NETWORK SERVICE the appropriate access to your resources. > > Another (simple) question: is wwwroot the better directory to install a > intranet web server on a IIS 6.0 w2k3 server ? > I never use the wwwroot folder. I tend to use a new top level folder (preferably on a different drive) where all the resources for the site are placed, one sub-folder of this top level folder will be the root of the web site. -- Anthony Jones - MVP ASP/ASP.NET
Ok thanks Anthony !
