To allow .docx files to be downloaded, follow the steps from the KB article linked above:


    

  1. Open the IIS Microsoft Management Console (MMC), right-click the local computer name, and then click Properties.
    2. 

  2. Click MIME Types.
    3. 

  3. Click New.
    4. 

  4. In the Extension box, type the file name extension that you want (in this case, .docx).
    5. 

  5. In the MIME Type box, type application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document (thanks to @web developer for pointing out this MIME type, which supercedes the 'application/msword' from my original answer).
    6. 

  6. Apply the new settings. Note that you must restart the World Wide Web Publishing Service or wait for the worker process to recycle for the changes to take effect. In this example, IIS now serves files with the .docx extension.
    7. 




Note that the KB article uses the generic application/octet-stream MIME type: although that generally should work, if a more specific MIME type exists, such as application/msword, it's always best to use that.

Fixing a https Cert in Windows

 I renewed a https cert today in Windows and had problems with the new Cert sticking in Windows It would add fine, without error, but would disappear when the IIS Server Certificates screen would refresh.  Open the Certificates in MMC (Local Machine) and inspecting the Web Hosting gave a clue, the new certificate was there, but with a key - the private key was missing.  Could be because the original certificate was created on a completely different machine and imported to this new server.  At any rate, a simple certutil command fixed it .  A tip I received from  SSL disappears from the certificate list on Windows server - SSL Certificates - Namecheap.com Key steps are:  Double-click the certificate and go to  Details  tab. In certificate details locate the  Serial Number  field, click on it and copy its value. Open Command Prompt, pressing  Win+R  and typing  cmd , then click  OK In the command prompt type:  certutil -repairstore my Serial_number  from step 9 I actually typed       cer

Ever need to reset a password in Bonobo Git Server ?

So, you've forgotten your password to bonobo git. Step 1: Get access to the sqlite file, probably called something like  Bonobo.Git.Server.db, sitting in the "wwwroot\Bonobo.Git.Server\App_Data" directory. Step 2: Using another tool, generate an md5 hash of your new desired password (as far as I know, sqlite does not have md5 capability) Step 3: Back in sqlite, using SQL, update the relevant user record, something like update User set Password = UPPER( 'thenewMD5hash') where Username = 'admin' ; Step 4: That's it, you are done, log in with your newly found password.

The web.config no extension mime problem Lets Encrypt on IIS/Windows

  Tip when using LetsEncrypt in Windows - Feature Requests - Let's Encrypt Community Support In a paragraph, just use the web.config file to set the mime type, eg...  After trying to figure out why my Lets Encrypt failed to generate in Windows, and discovering that it's the no extension mime type problem, I wondered whether certbot could fill in the missing gap. All that is needed is the following web.config file to be placed in the same directory as the challenge <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <system.webServer> <staticContent> <mimeMap fileExtension="." mimeType="text/xml" /> </staticContent> </system.webServer> </configuration> Because there's no mime type for files without an extension on IIS, IIS sends back a 404 when verification happens. The web.config file above sets the mime type. After I created the .well-known
