How to set a response buffer limit for a IIS handler?

[emre]

Hi,

I am using Advanced Installer 19.0. We are trying to set a response buffer limit for the PHP handler. I use it through FastCGI. On IIS Manager, I can modify this value using the configuration editor as the following image.

I tried to set it using a custom action by running

Code: Select all

appcmd.exe set config "WebsiteName" -section:system.webServer/handlers /[name='HandlerName'].responseBufferLimit:"0" 

The problem is, when we define a handler using Advanced Installer's Application Mapping window, we can not define a name for the handler, and there is no variable to hold the handler name that defined by Advanced Installer. So it didn't solve the problem. And I am not editing a property, I am editing a collection item property, so I can not use Advanced Installer's custom properties feature. Can you recommend a workaround or solution to set the response buffer limit? Thank you.

Hi,

To summarize things, I can not modify the value of the responseBufferLimit when I create a new application mapping on Advanced Installer. It would be awesome if we could modify it using this window:

Hello Emre,

Thank you for your explanation.

I have discussed with our developer and your request is indeed valid.

I will add it on our TODO list of improvements and hopefully it will be available in a future version of Advanced Installer.

Until then, here would be a workaround for your scenario:

Basically, when a new Application Mapping is created, we automatically name it according to the following logic:

Code: Select all

CustomMapping-[extension]

In your case, that would be:

Code: Select all

CustomMapping-php

If more mappings are created for the same extension, we add numbers to it, so the name is unique, e.g.:

Code: Select all

CustomMapping0-php
CustomMapping1-php
etc.

With that being said, the workaround for you would be calling the appcmd.exe, as it follows:

Code: Select all

appcmd.exe set config "MyPhpTrial" -section:system.webServer/handlers /[name='CustomMapping-php'].responseBufferLimit:"1234"

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Catalin
