I’m posting this here mostly so I can refer back to it later if I ever have the need to. I recently had to setup a Windows server running IIS 5.0 at work. It will be hosting a web application that will be used to verify all orders.
Anyway, I had IIS up and running but couldn’t get it to execute pages with a .aspx extension. It would just offer up the .aspx file for download instead of executing it and displaying in the browser. Turns out this is due to the ASP.NET ISAPI extension not being registered with IIS. To register the extension with IIS, open a command prompt and issue the following commands:
- cd C:\winnt\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727
- aspnet_regiis -i
In that example, I registered the ASP.NET 2.0 framework with IIS. If you want to use a different version of .NET, replace v2.0.50727 with whatever version you want to use. The various versions installed will be listed in the C:\winnt\Microsoft.Net\Framework\ folder.
After running the apsnet_regiis command, my .aspx files loaded right away. I discovered all this at the Channel9 MSDN forums.

Take note of this graphic. Notice there’s been 3,775,826 queries processed by that MySQL server in a little more than 5 days. Nothing too impressive right? Right.
We know MySQL can handle many more queries than that in a much shorter period of time. What amazes me is how well MySQL performs on the server it’s running on. The box hosting that MySQL server is an old HP. It’s got 1 Pentium II 400mhz processor with 128Mb of RAM. And it serves data to anywhere between 10 and 14 seperate PC’s at any given point in time. In addition to that, this MySQL server also provides data to a web interface that is used by 50 or so people. The MySQL server pumps out about 500Mb worth of data every day.
MySQL never ceases to amaze me in what it can do on less than optimal hardware.

Sorry for the lack of posting lately. We started moving our office over the weekend. Being the tech guy I had a ton of work to doy. So, I spent basically the entire weekend getting all setup in the new office.
We’re moved in now and are still getting situated. I’ve got a few pictures I’ll post when the whole thing is complete. I ducked out a little bit early today just because I got the chance to do so. Don’t expect many posts for the rest of the week unless I see something at night that really deserves attention.

It looks like the grsecurity kernel patch is back for a while…they ended up pulling in a few sponsors. It made me feel good to see the companies that use grsecurity supply some money so grsecurity can continue to be developed.
Also, I’ve been interviewing for a job at Moms Meals. I originally applied for a managerial position with them, but when I went in for an interview it turned out they needed a computer guy. It sounds like they have some big changes planned for their IT stuff. They talked like they wanna have me be the IT Director for a few months and then later on bring someone else in to be the “real” IT director. The other person would be used for planning and that type of stuff, and my job would then become doing all the programming and system administration. The programming and system administration is something I’d rather do anyway, they better not cut my wages…assuming I get the job. Last time I talked to Ernie, he said he still had to check my references and wanted to get me in there ASAP.
DJ Pi should be releasing Trance Empire Vol 9 sometime this week. Again, he’s just waiting for the cover art to get finished up. The Dj Pi website (www.djpi.net) is having some trouble with the forum. Since I moved the forum from my server to the actual djpi.net server, the forum’s mail functions have stopped working. So, we can’t send e-mail through the forum anymore. The company that hosts djpi.net is starting to really irritate me. They NEVER reply to any of my support e-mails.
