Configuration :: Deploying Changes To A Ready Website?
Jun 29, 2010
I made a simple network tool using Visual Studio 2010 Express, ASP.NET C#.
When I finished, I deployed it to a Local IIS 5.1 Server. I'm running XP(BTW).
The situation right now is that every time I add/change something to suit my needs, it changes it directly on the server - which is obviously unwanted. I want to understand why this is and how to change it. I don't want every test I do to be implemented directly on save.
ps.
On Project->Properties, Web tab. I verified that under the "Servers" option, "Visual Studio Development Server" in checked and not "Local IIS Web Server"
so I have a fully functioning DynamicData website, and all works fine when debugging in VS2010But when I moved the site to a webserver (server 2008, IIS7) the default paeg comes up, but any links or pages after that are all sending 404 errors http://{IP address}/{table}/{action}.aspxdoes not work when on the server, but works fine in VS.What configuration am i missing from IIS7 to make this url work?
On my local machine I have created a database driven website. All is working well on my local machine.
Now I want to upload it to my Arvixe Hosting. How do I do that from Visual Studio 2010 Keeping in mind I have a Database too ?
Do I need to manually create a Database on the Server ? Do I then create all the tables Manually ? Do I then populate the tables manually ? Or is it a 1 button click ?
I have just developed a website with VS 2008, ASP.NET 3.5. It contains a long range of pages and one contact page. The contact page is connected to a SQLExpress database, where details about all the visitors' requests are stored. The website works fine at the development environment, but when I deploy it to the internet host, the Contact page will not open any longer, due to all sorts of problems with the database. I have the database files located in the App_Data folder under the main directory for the website.
I have tried with all kinds of connection strings, setups, etc. - to no avail. I have also tried using the ISP's tool for creating a new database with the intention of copying the original database to it. But when I use the Publishing Wizard and generate a SQL script, then the Web Administration Tool for the remote database won't run the script. Now my question is, plainly: Is there any step-by-step procedure I can use, if I want a data-enabled website. It seems incredible that it has to be so frustratingly difficult. Basically, what I need, is:
* A database, located in the App_Data folder, to store all information received via the Contact.aspx page. * All visitors of the site should be able to post messages on the Contact.aspx page. * I have got the information from the ISP that I can connect to MSSQL via the server "host55.nethotel.ccSQLEXPRESS".
If a general procedure can be advised, and some directions about how exactly the database should be set up with authentication, rights, etc., for such a - supposedly ordinary - system, then I will be grateful for any information - or somebody who could point me in the right direction of a solution.
I'm deploying a web site to a server I've set up for testing. The website works great in development (Running in VS 2010) as well as in production on multiple client sites. I'm simply trying to test the site in a new environment. I simply copied the complete site (pages, code, directories, everything...) to my server. In IIS7 I created a new web site pointing to the directory containing my site's files and directories. I can open my site and my initial login page loads.
Database connections are made, page and buttons all seem great. Then, I log in. In the first line of code that attempts to instantiate an instance of a class contained in my App_Code folder, an exception is thrown, 'Invalid object name'. I've messed with as many settings as I could in IIS7 but to no avail. I've searched the internet on something regarding this, but nothing seemed to apply. At this point I'm about ready to install Visual Studio on my server to get it to run (this was the route one of the other developers took).
I have attempted to deploy my first WEB application and needed to include the Membership for Internet login. Application works fine when I use Visual Web Developer, but when I deploy to my provider when I attempt to Login, I eventually get the error message (this was after I turned on the debug="true" - full message is
[Code]....
When I copied the application to the WebSite, I assumed that the ASPNETDB.MDF needed to be copied too with everything that I defined for users and roles. Looked at the WEB.CONFIG and expected to see something defined here as to where it is located, etc. Do not see anything in my project with the name.
I'm about to roll out my web site soon, and was just wondering if there's a way to roll out the db I'm working with on my dev computer, or if I have to recreate everything on the production server. If I can roll out my dev db, will the uids be the same?
note that i can successfully connect to the db using the user 'SQL2008_736225_aldookandb_user' when i use a remote connection tool, such as sql server managment studio
And you can reproduce this problem, see it live and see the stack trace by doing the following:
A) :
1.go to my website [URL] 2.login as username: Teacher1 password: 123456 (Note that you have been logged in successfully) 3. go to the link in the upper right corner where it says (Teacher Page) 4. booooom!
B):
1. go to the website and create an account as a "Teacher" 2. do steps 2 to 4 from above and same problem occurs
I have a web site that has always run fine for years and years under 3.5. I converted it recently to run under 4.0, and it runs on Cassini fine. When I attempt to deploy the app to an IIS7 server that has 4.0 installed, all I get is "internal server error", and no error messages in the Event log, and nothing in the http logs.
I've double checked that the application pool I've deployed to is running 4.0.
It's an x64 web server and app (always has been while it was under 3.5.
I have developed a website using visual studio. Now i want to deploy the same on server having windows server 2008 o.s. and IIS 7. When i copy the website and paste it into wwwroot folder of iis its not working. What settings need to be done so that website can be accessed from iis.
i have created a website in vs 2008. and i want to deploy that website on other system. i don't want to give all the source(just like .exe file not source).
I am using XAMPP to publish my a .net application. The server is working fine. I created a sample login.aspx file, and it works fine. I deleted the sample login file, and I build and copy all the files to the XAMPP directory. When I tried to acces the page, it gave an error message "Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server. If you think this is a server error, contact the
Apologies if this is is in the wrong place but I'm not sure where this issue fits. My issue deals with setting up an ASP.NET 64bit website on IIS6 (W2003 R2) so it could be a compiling problem or an IIS setup issue - I've read so much now I'm all tied up in knots.I have a web app which has been written on top of my company's custom framework, both have been compiled in .Net 2.0 with the "AnyCPU" option and run quite happily on my laptop within Visual Studio 2008 (on a Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit laptop). All of the code is managed code with the exception of 1 3rd party dll that I think is still 32bit.
Question 1: when running on my laptop in VS, is my web app running in 32bit or 64bit mode, given the OS is 64bit? I have both versions of .NET 2.0 installed.I have a new desktop that is to be our test server, and has been installed with Windows 2003 R2 and had IIS6 configured (same as the production environment). Again, both versions of .NET 2.0 are installed. When I copy my web app to the server and browse to the site, I get the dreaded "%1 is not a valid Win32 application", and sometimes (depending on what settings I've been playing with) "Service Unavailable" messages. If I register the .NET version to 32bit, and set the IIS 'Enable32bitAppOnWin64' to true, the app runs happliy the same as when on my laptop......but I don't want it to do that! I want to run IIS to run in 64bit mode with the 64bit .NET 2.0 Framework!Question 2: What does IIS see to make it think that my app is a Win32 app or am I interpreting that message wrong? Is the fact that I have 1 32bit dll in the in folder enough for IIS to say "32bit" and keel over?
My understanding of the "AnyCPU" option was that as long as the code is all managed code within the application, the bitness of the OS does not matter so I cannot understand why IIS6 cannot run the app in 64bit mode....and no, installing IIS7 is not an option.
I'm running windows 7, so I installed on my machine the oracle client version 11.1.0.7.0 (ODP.NET - Oracle.DataAccess version 2.111.7.20) . I'm trying to deploy an asp.net web application to a server that is running windows 2003, which has the oracle client version 11.1.0.6.0 (ODP.NET - Oracle.DataAccess Version 2.111.6.20)
Now when I compile my application and deploy it in a setup project (as pre-compiled). The start page of my web app tires to connect to Oracle and it returns the following error message:
"Could not load file or assembly 'Oracle.DataAccess, Version=2.111.7.20, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
Which is super weird because, cause the web.config file as shown above has Version=2.111.6.20.
Now the strange part is that if I copy the source code from the client to the server, the same code, same config file, it works just fine.
So I'm thinking that the pre-compiled version is telling the server to load Oracle.DataAccess Version=2.111.7.20, maybe in one of the dlls, not in the config file for sure.
Has anyone run into this problem?
what's the best approach to deploy to servers with different oracle client version? (I have a similar problem trying to deploy to a 64 bit machine)
Used Visual Studio 2008 to publish web app to a local IIS7 Website but still hooked to VS development .mdf file with EF. With this I can successfully access web app via local host. As long as the development db server is running, web access is fine.
Then I tried to change connection to local .SQLEXPRESS where I have other databases (this is my production server). I have replicated the development data into the SQLExpress database already. The connection string appears OK.
The problem is the application's entity data model (.edmx file) is still tied to the development .mdf file.
When I tried to rebuild the entity data model, I can see the production instance in list of db connections but cannot select it. Only the development db objects are available.
So I don't think the problem is related to connecting to the production db. It is more about getting the .edmx file to point to the production table. Either it should migrate over or it needs to be rebuilt. I don't see any MVC deployment pages discussing EF deployments.
I have the domain name and space and also prepared my website on visual studio. now i want to know how to make it ready, so that i can copy it the hosting server. means what is the prerequisite for hosting? and then how to publish it?
I was given a compiled asp.net web application v2.0 which was created in visual studio 2005. I have made some changes to the site and created various new classes and made it look abit cooler . On my localhost I go to the Visual Studio Project and click rebuild and its stays that the dll has been successfully and all the dll, pdf have been created again with new modified dates. So when I publish the site to the production server, the site uses the old current dll which doesn't show any of the changes I have made.
I have done the following - Deleted all the files from obj/Debug before rebuilding the site
Made sure there were no files defined in the application which are not there in the local system (apparently this is a bug)
I'm don't know what else to try, I' have used red gates .net decompiler and can see all my new class names so I know what all the extra classes are in the new dll.
One thing I'm not sure about is what 'Build Action' do you need to set for the binxxx.dll, at the moment it is set to 'content' but if I set it 'compile' I get "Error 1 Unable to write to output file
'C:1stDirectobjDebugvb-website.pdb': System Error &H80004005&" .
For the last 3 days I struggled to deploy my small asp mvc site on asphostcentral I got the following error wille trying:
could not copy the files on the ftp because I am behind a corporation router and active mode does not work (managed to work around it by copying from a ftp web client)could not run the application because the latest version of asp mvc was not installed, after Could not load file or assembly 'PresentationFramework, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35', my guess is that .net 3.5 with sp1 is missing, what do you guys think ?
I can connect to the database server but I get an error when I try to expand databases and get to my database.
I am facing problem in deploying MVC 2 WEB Application on IIS 7.
I am running under Integrated mode.
What do i need to do....
I have created virtual directory also for my application on iis7.
I am using Windows 7.
When i going to browse my application iget following error message.
Server Error in '/StaplesTagging' Application.
The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
We need to deploy our asp.net web site in web farm which consists of 16 web servers. Whenever we need to roll out a new release it is very time consuming and tedious as we need to deploy it first on the DR environment (16 web servers) and then on to Live environment (16 web servers). Currently we prepare the msi on our build server and copy it on all the front end web servers which involves first FTPing the msi to a common location on hosting network and then copying from the common location to each server. After thet we backup the existing website and then run the installer one by one on each machine
Okay, I am trying to deploy a .Net framework 4 website on IIS7 server. I have already changed the application-pool's target framework to .Net 4, but the app is still showing me the error:
"The configuration section 'system.web.extensions' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration"
I am guessing that has something to do with the new feature of .Net4 that lets me have a compact Web config file. I think for some reason IIS7 is not happy with this.What can I do to deploy this app successfully or do I have to scale back to v3.5? I am sure there is a solution out there.
I had deployed an asp.net 2.0 web site in IIS 7 in windows 7( with .net 4.0 installed ).
But while I am going to browse my starting page Welcome.aspx it shows error: HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found. The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
Is there any problem with deployment of the application?
