IIS 7 Web Manager Guide

The link to the management tool in this thread now points to the beta 3 version, which apparently does not work with IIS 7 beta 2 that is installed on the servers. After consulting with the Discount ASP.NET support people, they suggested I post here to see if anyone has a link to the previous beta 2 version of IIS 7 Web Manager.

Alternatively, can anyone get this new version to remotely connect to IIS 7? When attempting to connect I get the following error: 'Could not connect to the specified computer. Details: Unable to connect to the remote server.'

Cheers,

Thanks, but unfortunately I get the same error. I first uninstalled beta 3, then reinstalled the MSI you provided. The connect to site wizard is slightly different, so I know I am running a different version, but I still get the same authentication error after entering the username and password. I am copying and pasting the info directly from https://my.discountasp.net/betahosting.aspx, so I don't think I'm introducing a typo or other user error.

I am getting the beta blues now, since I can't be sure whether the problem is caused by beta 3 remnants screwing up the beta 2 installation. I can try rebooting between uninstallation/installation/post-installation but I am running an online backup program right now that won't be finished for a couple days, so I can't reboot for awhile.

Sigh,
Roger

 

I installed the manager at http://www.iis6hosting.com/download/mswebmgr_beta2_16452.zip on a WinXP machine that never had the beta 3 version, but unfortunately I still get the same error.

You know, this has been the same error since I first tried connecting, which was before I noticed I had to request access for IIS 7 Beta Web Management through a ticket. Even though you guys responded that remote access had been activated, is it possible this wasn't done, or wasn't done correctly? The error message didn't change. I would like to know if *anyone* can connect to my IIS 7 account.

Please advise. I can submit a new help desk ticket if you can't infer my identity from this thread.

Hi there,


How do we connect to the beta environment? Do we simply connect to our beta domain and use the username/password we use for FTP? If that's so, then it's giving me error 401, access denied.


I can't find anything about this in the forums or website so any help appreciated.


thanks

 

Make sure you have the correct version of the IIS 7 Manager [Version 5.2 (Build 3790.srv03_sp2_gdr.070304-2240 : Service Pack 2)]

To connect using the IIS7 Manager ,do the following:

->Open the IIS 7 Manager
->Click File and select 'Connect to a Site...' option.
->Enter Server name 'beta-XXXXX.lhweb3.iis7betahosting.net',Site name 'beta-XXXXX.lhweb3.iis7betahosting.net' [click 'Next']
->Enter User name 'beta-XXXXX' and the IIS7 password assigned to you . (See the IIS 7 section in your DASP Control Panel) [click 'Next']
->You will be prompted a server certificate alert',click 'Connect' [click 'Next']
->Your connection name will appear as 'beta-XXXXX.lhweb3.iis7betahosting.net' [click 'Finish'].

Is there further guidance about how to manage the beta sites? I downloaded the IIS Manager (now RC1) and I went through the instructions detailed in previous posts. When I try to connect to my site, I get an access denied error.


Thanks,
