We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SYMPTOMS

No data CSV files are generated in the OUTPUTDIRECTORY when the Microsoft HttpMon service is started.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, obtain the updated version of Httpmon.exe described below. The new version of Httpmon.exe 2.0 is build 011298.

MORE INFORMATION

The sample Httpmon.ini file located in the %windir% directory included with the application installation does not include a key field and value to run correctly. As a result, the application is started (running), but no data is written to the data CSV files.

To fix the problem, a new version of the executable has been compiled. It is available for free download at the following location:

   ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/utilities/httpmon

   get Httpmon.exe
   get Readme.txt

After you download these files, replace your existing Httpmon.exe file with the new one and restart the service.

NOTE: You must first stop the application before copying the new Httpmon.exe over the existing Httpmon.exe.
