website madness - 9.Aug.2005 7:39:00 AM

All of you ISA wizards,

I'm getting desperate for a solution. I had a perfectly working system a month ago. SBS2003 Premium version, with ISA2000 running.

Then I upgraded to SP1 following all of the required steps to do so (7 i believe). Everything working as it should, it looked better then before even.

After some days I started noticing one weird event though; we have multiple websites online of which some own the same IP. When working on the websites I would jump to another website while the URL was unchanged.

So now I am trying to figure out where this problem could originate from?! I've already turned off caching, but that didn't result at all.

Anyone a brilliant idea?
It would be most appreciated!

Well I have never heard of this issue yet, but if you would like to verify your SP1 install process, see the SBS-MVP SP1 Community Doc

Thx for the reply, Andy.

I've followed the exact same steps the doc describes. However I think the guide I followed was one on the ms site.

The strange thing is that everything works as it should. But once you start using the online websites (in the datacenter) quite extensively, then it happens that you end up at the wrong site use the right URL...

I'm fresh out of answers

Hi Gebo,

Can you give some specific examples of the Web Publishing Rules and details of those rules?

Maybe it's something simple, like using Host Headers instead of assigning different addresses to each published site.

Thanks!
Tom

Hey Tom,

I probably wasn't clear enough about the websites. The websites showing this weird behaviour are located at a remote datacenter.

We experience that weird behaviour from our offices behind the ISA2004(SBS2003)Server. I've tried recreating this at home, but was unsuccesfull in doing so.

At the moment the ISA server has been configured to let through an unlimited number of connections, caching has been disabled and is only used as a firewall.

If you like I can post those rules...

In the rule that Allows the access to the websites, on the Protocols tab, click the Filter button and select "Configure HTTP" from the list. Then in the "configure HTTP policy for rule" panel, switch to the Headers tab. Make sure there are no headers in the exception list, and that the server header reads "send original header" and the via header reads "send default header".

Hi MRIS,

I've checked the config and the settings are as follows:
Maximum header lenght: 990000
Allow any payload: checked
Maximum URL length: 500000
Maximum URL query: 480000
Other boxes on General tab are unchecked

All methods are allowed
All extensions are allowed

Header tab has no exceptions and has as settings "send original header" and "send default header"

Hi Gebo,

Oh! OK, I thought you were publishing the sites.

What are the URLs to the sites?

Can you give specific examples of what you're seeing?

Thanks!
Tom

Tom,

The situation that seems to occur is one of two things:

*the first one is when surfing back and forth between our sites, it happens that when a url is given into the browser, another site appears and the site that appears is working correctly once you click on those links... but the problem is the first url entered is one of another site!

*the second scenario goes like the following; again when surfing back and forth between those sites it happens that when requesting a site, that site appears ...but it doesn't appear correctly because when looking at the source of the page the 'base href' is altered to one of the other sites we have....
When this occurs and you would visit this site afterwards from any other location the situation remains. Once the webserver is restarted the problem is resolved.

What really is frustrating is that on both accounts I'm unable to regenerate this problem from any other location then our offices.

Some URL's you could try:
www.nettracker.be
www.zoekmachine-marketing-blog.com
www.kredietservice.be
www.echo-engineering.net
www.slinkx.be

thx for looking into this...

Hi Gebo,

Is caching enabled? If so, try delete and recreating the cache file and see if the same thing happens.

You can delete the cache file using the tool at www.isatools.org

HTH,
Tom
