View 6 RepliesI'm preparing to deploy a ASP.NET web application. The target server has already a previous version of my web application with parameters specified on the web.config file.
In the new version of this web application, the web.config file contains new sections I would like they appear into the target web.config file on the server.
However I can't find the way to merge the new web.config sections into the existing web.config file ?
Does I have to do it programmatically, or is there a tool to merge the both files during installation ? (I'm using Web Setup Project).
The file system I'm publishing to is a not hosted by me, but by my university. IT here offers students their own web directory to host a website. My intention is to use it to host projects for classes and demo them for my professors. You can enter in a specific link in any browser to go to this website and view it as long as there is a file named 'index.html' in the directory with some presentable html code.
So here's the problem. I want my website to be written using ASP.NET and when I use VS2010 to publish my ASP.NET website to the 'File System,' I cannot simply open up my browser, type in the normal link, and have it display. It just shows up as a list of files in the directory and I can see all my source code for the web site

View 10 RepliesI'm working on different windows machines and virtual windows machines on a mac. I have a project wich uses SQL server and AD for autentication.
Right now I have to be connected to VPN so that the asp.net web application can connect to AD using LDAP string to autentivate users, I also have the SQL server on the other side of the VPN connection.
Is there any way to setup my enviroment so that I can work locally without the AD, and on a local SQL server and be able to publish the project without manually changing the web.config file?
I have built an ASP.NET (.NET v4) application in VS 2010. It is working just fine. But when I try to create deployment package (so I can deploy it in our test IIS 7.5 Server), it gives me error like this,
Error 1 Could not open Source file: Could not find file 'C:11-2 estobjDebugCSAutoParameterize ransformedWeb.config'. 0 0 test
Thing is in past, I had deployed the SAME application using the SAME method.
i have created a website and i have published into a server whose connection string is specified in the connection string
Now i am sending the published files to some company.
If they just change the connection string of web.config to their server, will it work?
I have hosted a website in the iis and when i replace the file it is not updating the file it is showing the old version.

View 3 RepliesError Description while browsing the website under IIS "The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file." Initially I deleted the virtual directory, created again, set the permission to anonymous, set the browse and execute permissions, no solution. Then after doing many trials, I found out the basic problem reading the error "not allowed by the security policy". In web configuration file if we set the security policy to Fully Trusted, then problem solved and application working fine. or Set the trust level to the main configuration file in he "C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727CONFIGweb.config"

I want to publish my website from the development machine to QA server. Do I need to create a new web.config file which has the new data connection strings and copy it on the QA server or is there a better way of doing this, so that every time I publish modified files, the web.config does not get overwritten.

View 1 RepliesI am designing a web application for Leave Application of our faculties. There is a form in my website which represent the existing paper-back leave application form. Users(faculties) have to fill-up this web form and after validation an email will be send to the email address of our principal/hod. I hope that email address(s) will be provided to our group members. Now I want to know that what will be the required configuration of the web.config file? I found this blog ScottGu's Blog. Here the given configuration is:

retrieve appsettings from the app.config file stored in a DLL directory?
I have read many posts on this and it appears as though it's not possible. I've tried all configurationmanager options without success.
Of course, when my .net web app runs, it configurationmanager pulls the settings from the web.config which I understand. I would just like to have a configuration file dedicated to the dll. (like app.config).

View 1 RepliesI have two test machines that both have the same issue. I have one running IIS7.5 with Windows 2008 R2 and another server running IIS7 on WIndows 2008. I am having a problem with my Web.config files not being published to the server using WebDAV. The file seems to be replaced with a blank Web.config file. Since the Web.config file is blank non of my AJAX web pages are working. I have AJAX web pages that use Microsoft's AJAX 2.0 or 3.5 (they were created in Visual Studio 2008) and I have AJAX web pages that use pure javascript accessing Codebehind classes by AjaxPro2.dll I found on the Web. All these projects worked on Windows Server 2003 with ASP.NET v3.5 because it published the Web.config file.I believe the issue has something to do with the validation process Windows 2008 uses to make sure the Web.config file is not corrupt. I tried many Web.configs and nothing works. All my applications are running from a single root folder located in inetpubwwwroot
and that single folder is "converted to application" using the DefaultAppPool (ASP.NET v2.0 Integrated Mode).
I found a workaround which is to publish my normal Web.config and a copy of it name something else like Web2.config. The Web.config is replaced on the server with a blank one, which I delete directly from the server (via Remote Desktop) and I rename the other Web2.config. This works for all my AJAX webpages both the MS AJAX and the "native" ones using pure javascript and the AJAXPro2.dll.
I tried setting the application on IIS to another Application Pool "ASP.NET v4.0 Integrated" and my MS AJAX web pages work perfectly with the blank Web.config file and not using the workaround at all. However, the "native" AJAX using purjavascript and the AJAXPro2.dll do not work because they require settings in the Web.config. This means there is something that ASP.NET 4.0 has that allows it to run the MS AJAX without a proper Web.config. I thought this might help you figure out my problem.
I have been racking my brain over this for a few weeks now and I am stuck. I really need help with getting my Web.config file from my VS2008 applications to publish (via WebDAV) to my IIS server. I can do this in either setup IIS7.5 Windows Server 2008 R2 or IIS7 Windows Server 2008. I am a programmer not system administrator. I have admin access of these servers and the system adminstrator is also stumped.Let me know if you need any additional information like my Web.config file or log files from the server.
I need to set file extension precedence. I want the browser to show default.html before default.aspx. Is there a way to set this up in a web.config file?
View 2 RepliesI have 1 web application, 2 databases (same design, with different data), and 2 web.config files (web1.config. web2.config) ;
What I do need is a way to change the web.config file name programaticcaly on code behind.
So, this way I can select on runtime accoerding to the current theme the web.config currently being used.
Ofcourse that if I could do inheritnce of the web.config files it would be te best approaach, but only one web.config file is allowed per directory.
deploy this configuration to achieve a multiple websites to one web project.
