Configuration :: Can't Get Older Server 2003 Web Applications To Run On Server 2008
Jun 25, 2010
I'm a total noob to anything ASP. I'm a web designer for my county's sheriff dept. and I don't create dynamic pages because out content doesn't require it. In fact, I'm still quite new to web design. The programmer who created the apps has zero experience with IIS7. These apps are designed to run on our organization's intranet server. I'm not having any luck with getting these sites to run properly. I have the sites created with the proper directories. When I click in the right-hand column of IIS Manager to browse to the sites, they launches but don't function as they should. They load up like static pages. I installed .Net 1.1 hoping that would make a difference but it had no effect.
We are running asp.net website on windows server 2003 with framework 2.0 and asp.net ajax 1.0 extensions. now we planned to migrate websites to windows server 2008 r2. since my websites on framwork 2.0, I need to install same framework on windows server 2008 r2 but I didnt find 2.0 version for windows server 2008 r2. Is it possible to install 2.0 version on windows server 2008 r2 ??
We are moving some applications from Server 2003 to Server 2008R2 (IIS 7.0)
Have following code that does not seem to work on 2008:
Code: If InStr(1, UCase(Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")), "") > 0 Then Dim Splits() As String = UCase(Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")).Split(""c) Session("@User_Id") = Splits(1) 'this will be second part End If
We are using the 'log on' to check whether a user is authorized to an application. This working fine in 2003.
Is there an equivalent in 2008 or even better, something that works both in 2003 and 2008?
We have a web application that makes a call to a remotely hosted ASMX service that worked in Server 2003 under IIS6. We are now migrating it to a Server 2008/IIS 7 setup and it doesn't appear that the application makes the call to the remote web service anymore. We ran Wireshark and don't see any traffic to the service URL. It seems to throw a 404 error without trying to connect.
Is there some security policy or restriction in Server 2008 or IIS 7 we need to set to allow an ASP.NET application make a call to a remote web service? We are using Network Service as our application pool user, but also tried using Local System as a troubleshooting step. In addition, the same code works if run from a console application on the server instead of the web application.
Is there some setting under IIS7 or server 2008 that would be causing this?
My company is looking to upgrade the web server from Server 2003 to 2008 (along with IIS of course). Currenty the websites are built using ASP.NET 3.5 (and a blog in PHP), is there anything that needs to be done to ensure the sites (forget the blog) still work on the new server? I'll no doubt upgrade the sites over time to use .Net 4 or MVC, but for the moment the transition needs to be almost seamless.
I am trying to run an aspx file on my server windows 2003 with IIS 6.0. I get the following error. Server Error in '/' Application. Runtime Error Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
[Code]....
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.
I am running a web application in vs-2008 on windows 2003 server.While execution of .net application, I am getting an error as"Unable to start debugging on the web server. Unable to connect to the web server. Verify that web server is running and that incoming HTTP requests are not blocked by firewall."
I've been given a virtual dev environment being windows server 2003 and I need to publish a web app to it. I've deployed apps quite easily using the publishing wizard but I'm not sure how to do deploy to a windows server.. can someone please provide a link or a guide on how to do this as I need to set it all up and I really don't know where to start.
I have built my site using VS.Net 2010 on my XP machine. I would like to deploy it to my server which is a Windows 2003 Server. I have tried to do it with FTP, but it keeps failing with the error that "Front Page Extensions are not installed on the web server". When I check the server the extensions were installed and I also checked IIS and the service for the extension is allowed.
We have multiple websites deployed onto Windows 2003 WebServer running under .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 version and now we want to upgrade it to .NET Framework 2.0 SP2, so just wanted to check that after upgrading the .NET Framework on the server do we also need to re-deploy the websites by recompiling them in .NET Framwork 2.0 SP2 version or it's not necessary as they will automatically start referencing the latest assemblies?
I have developed a website in ASP.NET and deployed on IIS 6.0 server on windows Server 2003.I used asp.net 2.0,SQL server 2005,AJAX and javascript .It is working.The problem I have that this website is slow. How did I deployed website on IIS? I went to Build-->Publish Web Site and it then created a folder with all pages, I simply copied that folder on webserver and put path in IIS. Is that a correct way to deploy aps.net webite or not? let me know is any other best way to deploy website that can make my website faster.
I need to deploy an asp.net 4 website on a windows server 2003 remote server. I have updated the server's .net framework to 4.0 and installed IIS 7. how to deploy the website because I have no idea how to.
when I deploy a website in IIS Windows Server 2003 R2 . First time deploy, it seemed no problem at all (fyi, the one who deploy for the first time is not me, but my friend) but after one or two days this problem occur. I can't browse from IIS and Internet Explorer. In Internet Explorer the page display:
"Internet Explorer cannot display the website." The worse, no error log data ever produced in Application category in Event Viewer.
I've tried change the address from localhost to 127.0.0.1 but the response is still the same. I even tried access just localhost alone. It should display the default homepage from IIS but the response is still the same too. I've checked IIS' Web Service Extension, the Active Server Pages and ASP.NET 2.0 are set to allowed. I also have tried make a virtual directory with just index.html inside and the response is still the same.
FYI: The server seems run in 64 bit (HP Proliant server). The website I build only used ASP.NET Ajax 1.0 and Crystal Report for VS 2005. From the server, I can access the internet but not the localhost.
I want to deploy asp.net 4.0 web site on windows server 2003, Now I already have a classic asp site running on it. Would there be any problem if I install .net 4.0 framework for my new site. Will the existing site (the one in classic asp) be affected?
Can someone point me to a step-by-step guide on how to deploy ASP.Net applications to a totally empty and brand new Windows 2003 Server?The server has ASP.Net and the .Net framework installed on it. IIS is up and running. I have created a new application pool.
After months of work I thought I had finished with my web application using VS2008 with CSSFriendly menu. On publishing, the menu did not work and I got all sorts of errors. Deleting CSSFriendlyAdapters.browser in App_Browsers folder improved the layout but the menu was not rendered with css even though the html source shows thet are linked. On desperation, I changed the target Framework from 3.5 to 2.0 and then back to 3.5 with no avail.
I have an application which is used by others on different server without problems. The app was programmed by a programmer who is not available now. It was developed on .net 2.0. The windows 2003 is a new server, asp.net is enabled. from iis, I can configure it to use asp.net 2.0....,
but, when I load the site, it always show the 404. even after I change the default.aspx to a blank page, it still shows 404. however, if I put a default.htm in the folder, and it can be loaded without problems.
what can cause this? how to fix it? if I installed a vs2005 express on the server, will it fix the problem?
it seems the asp.net 2.0 dll is not recognized on server. never had this problem before.
URL rewrting is not working when I shift the site from windows 2003 to 2008 server i.e from IIS6 to IIS7.I added the aspnet_isapi.dll to Handler Mapping. still it is not working. showing me page not found 404 error.
I have the same issue, I have added the On before the Application start, or Session Start and it is still not working.Application_OnStart or Application_Start is not firingSession_OnStart or Session_Start is not firing..Note that in my development environment it is firing (both of the names).When I am adding the Global.asax file, there is only one file (no .cs file). And when I am publishing the project, I am not getting the Global.asax file, I am getting a xxxxGlobal.asax.dll file on my bin folder...
I am installing MS Visual Studio 2010 on my PC and will develop website on it. I have developed my old asp.net websites on MS Visual Studio2005.Our webserver where we publish our websites on Windows Server 2003.I want to know that whether we can publish websites develop in MS Visual Studio 2010 on Windows Server 2003?
Does anyone know of any requirements to get the Ajax Control Toolkit (Calendar Extension in particular) working in this OS? I have it working on my local macjine (VS 2010 Development Server) but it doesn't work when published to my Virtual Server running Windows Server 2008 R2. No errors are reported, just nothing happens when I give focus to the Calendar textbox (no Calendar appears).Anyone know of any configutrations that need to be made in Windows Server 2008 R2?Is there a 32-bit/64-bit issue with the Toolkit?
I'm creating a website and I'm testing resgistering and Log-in.
I followed a simple tutorial to create a Log-in in Visual Studio C# template which generated a SQL Server database.Locally the Log-in and registration page works perfectly. The problem is that when I upload my site to the hosting site the navigation works but the Log-in and Registration forms send an error when clicked "Register" or "Log-in". I contacted the site and they upload my database the way it should be because I was doing it wrong. I can see all my files including the data base.
They commented me that I had to do a connection string to the data base so the login and registration forms can work. I don't understand how to do that, I know the connection string has to be declared in the Web Config File, the thing is that I don't know how to write that code and link it to my data base in the hosting site, in fact I have sample code but I don't know just what do I need to put in it.
