Re: Rebuilt IIS server not presentong website pages correctly..Help Please

Please do not multi-post.


I do not see any IIS issue here.

I think your rebuild/backup procedure is not so good. You probably want to
make sure you have adequate contingency and server rebuild procedures that
actually work, so that you are prepared the next time your server hardware
breaks. This is all operations-stuff that the server administrator is
responsible for.

Just browsing the web page content for http://www.giftcardswork.com/ , I
notice that:
- /javascripts/detect.js is missing.
- /javascripts/other.js is missing.

Since .js is in the global MIME Map by default, it should be downloadable if
it is present. Thus, this tells me that either:
1. Your server rebuild failed to restore these JScript files that your
websites need
2. Your server rebuild failed to recreate the /javascripts/ vdir mapping to
the right physical file location
3. You customized the server and removed the .js MIME Map from IIS such that
the JScript files are there but not downloadable.

This can be verified either by you looking to make sure the /javascripts/
vdir is actually configured correctly, or you can look at
%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC#\*.log to locate the requests for
/javascripts/detect.js and reporting the actual HTTP Status, SubStatus, and
Win32 error codes.

#1 and #2 return 404 0, and you look in IIS configuration to determine
whether your problem is missing files (#1) or missing/incorrect vdir mapping
(#2). #3 return 404 3 which indicates a missing MIME Map.

I am suspecting you are looking at either #1 or #2 since both your sites
referernce a /javascripts/ directory that does not seem to exist.

This is my first post to this form so any assistance with this issue would
be very much appreciated. Our main IIS 6 web server went down 2 days ago and
needed to be rebuilt from scratch, the only portion of the backups we had
were the websites hosted on it. Once the rebuilt was finished and the sites
restored, the server was up and the sites available and viewable, however
something is missing which prevents 2 of the 5 sites from being viewed
properly.

Both use jscript within css, and with embedded server side includes. The
fonts are not being presented correctly and the jscripts are showing "Object
Expected" errors and skewing the format of the page. When a "Run at Server"
is placed within the page code the page display's ok, but this was not there
before. Something was installed on the system before, or was activated in
IIS that isn't now. Need to resolve this as soon as possible. Any assistance
is really appreciated.
