Configuration :: Exchange XML Files Between Web Servers?
Jan 20, 2011
I have a situation where we are splitting dynamic content from static content and each is getting its own web server. The people maintaining the site want to be able to make navigation changes once and have it show on both servers without any major extra work (for them). I'm putting the navigation structure in an XML file which also has information on things specific to each content page. This brings me to the question of how to share that file. If I want the change to be instantaneous I can't rely on a scheduled task to copy the file from one server to another.Access to one of the servers is very limited due to security policy.
I am thinking about maybe a web service running on one server to get the data from it to pages on the other server. Does this sound viable or do any of you have other ideas that may work better? I considered having the navigation in a database but this introduces the need for a tool for the navigation updaters to have for them to do that. It is easy for them to update XML and just publish to the server with a lower security level. To get them database access requires terrible paperwork and meeting with security people.
I have defined two endpoints in my App.Config file as
[code]....
I received the following error when i try to launch the host
The HttpGetEnabled property of ServiceMetadataBehavior is set to true and the HttpGetUrl property is a relative address, but there is no http base address. Either supply an http base address or set HttpGetUrl to an absolute address.
Using Visual Studio 2010 Web Developer Express (vb.net code) with SqlDataSource to SQL Server 2008.
I am developing an email form to my users to send email to vendors with an attachment. The aspx page is quite simple -- 2 dropdownlists, a fileupload control, and a send email button. They select their store (which populates the "From" address of the email). They select the Vendor (which populates the "To" address of the email). Then they browse for the file attachment and click "send email"
I just can't get outside emails to send. I do not get any error messages in the web page. If I change the email1 and email2 in SQL Server Vendor table to an email address (mine) within the domain I get the emails. However when I change to a test hotmail, yahoo, or gmail accounts the emails never get there. I have absolutely no confidence that my programming is correct so before I go to the IT Manager again I really need to verify I am not missing something on my end. We did make a change on the exchange server to allow anonymous email from my webserver and still didn't work.
Here is my webconfig file:
[Code]....
Here is my code-behind:
[Code]....
Here is my aspx page:
[Code]....
I have been playing around with the programming for 2 days making 1 change at a time then testing to see if external email is sending. I'm going quite crazy at this point ...
I've put in breakpoints and debugged. Below is the output from the latest test. I have concerns about the clientDomain being "SQLSVR" which is my webserver name, our domain is "chuckanddons.com". As well as the line "Domain" that is blank " " under NetworkCredential. Also the line TargetName "SMTPSVC/exchangesvr"
I run a Exchange 2010 server and created an account for one of my websites to send e-mails.
The webserver's IP is even listed on the [Organization Configuration] -> [Hub Transport] -> [Global Settings] -> [Transport Settings] -> [Message Delivery] list.
The code sets a set of Network Credentials, but setting incorrect or correct settings, it doesn't matter; if I list external e-mail addresses, I get a "Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: 5.7.1 Unable to relay for <address>" message, 'local' addresses that are cc-ed, do get delivered...
When checking with telnet, I noticed that the only AUTH option was AUTH NTLM, but when checking the NetworkCredentails, it stated that NTLM should would.
If same web application is deployed on three different servers, which things we need to take care of and what things should be common amonges all three?
We have built an asp.net application according to 3 tier architecture, but Data Tier and Application logic lies on the same server. Our client needs that to be deployed in 2 different servers. Only front end in web server DAL & BLL in app server. Database is in different server. All 3 servers are at different physical locations. How can we commuicate between these servers and our applicaton tiers? is there any option in IIS so that we can deploy only back end code in another server? what is the best approach to communicate between different application tiers when they are physically apart?
A friend and I manage a large website for a company. The site is build using Visual Studio 2005 and is a series of nested web applications run inside a master application employing nested master pages. Currently we have to manually move files around folders and FTP them to various servers and I am looking for a way to be able to manage the deployment end of the site in a more automated fashion. I'd like to be able to work on my local version of a project and once I'm done be able to hit one button and publish the site to our internal testing server and then when testing is complete hit another button to deploy it to the live web servers. Right now we have to manually navigate the windows folders and copy pages, css files, images, swfs, etc and FTP them manually. The driver for this is that we have a new junior develop starting and want to remove the manual aspect in advance of him starting.
We have a problem where in the user can download files from an email. A link that will redirect to a page where the code to download the file resides. Before the download the user needs to be logged in to the system for security. The problem is that sometimes for whatever reason when the user clicks the link the download dialog box does not appear and just a blank white page. It happens only on our staging environment where we have 3 servers.. We can't reproduce this in our dev and test env. where we only have one server.
I have an website which runs nice on my development PC as well as on my local server.
But when deployed at clients server it gives error because of different datetime format at client server. I had checked it on 3 to 4 servers when the datetime format is same as my local server website runs fine. But when ever a datetime formate is different it starts giving error for datetime, whenever i try to do any transaction with date stored in datebase.
I'm a developer new to asp.net 3.5. My client asked if there were any implications of using Linq to SQL data sources with mirrored clustered servers with Failover clustering.
So my questions are can you use Linq to SQL with mirrored Clustered Servers?
If yes to the above, do you need to add or modify any code for mirrored Clustered Servers?
I just had to moved a site of mine from a hosting service here in the states to an offshore host located in Malaysia. My database is still located on the east coast of north america and I am wondering if the distance between the database and the file system might be to blame for slow load times or if moving my database as well would be a waste of time.
I am trying to set up my web site on a stand alone server using Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6 which will access SQL server database (2008) on windows 2008 R2 server (also not in the domain) I am using form authentication and I have configured a custom identity account in IIS6. The local account is on both servers with same password and I have registered the account using aspnet_regiis.exe -ga The application pool in my iis6 has the custom local account set as the identity and my web.config file has the appropriate tags in the system.web element <identity impersonate="true" />
The problem is the local account does not seem to get passed to the sql server. Right now my iis settings are anonymous access (using the local acct vs isr) and no authentication specified under that - I did try Integrated and basic but it prompts for the username and password which I do not want. One article I read stated this: windows authentication does not support delegation (passing credentials from one server to another) and is limited to the one hop rule, only a primary token can be passed to a second server. windows authentication on iis (all versions) gives the thread a secondary(impersonation) token which can not be used to access any network resouce
I have an application that uses resource files to display items in multiple languages. My app uses quote a lot of javascript and the alerts need to display in the local language. To do this, I have created an http handler which will read the keys and values of the culture-specific resource file and write them to a JSON array which is then embedded in the page in a script tag, the messages can then be accesses using, for exmaple:
Message.Error (en-GB = "Error", fr-FR = "Erreur")
The messages http handler works great in development, however when I run the application on a test server, I get the error: Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "Resources.Alerts.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "App_GlobalResources.b0n9j90e" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed. The code that I use to acccess the resource file is:
Where Resources.Alerts is the type that contains my multi-lingual definitions. The build action for the Alerts.resx file is set to "Embedded Resource". Any ideas why this works locally but not on my test server, am I missing something?
The majority of files in the Temporary ASP.NET File folder for a given application get deleted by ASP.NET following compilation -- .DLL and .PDB files amongst others remain.
Our compiler produces proprietary debug information files which are amongst those that get deleted.
Marking the files read-only prevents this but are there other options available?
The question: Is it possible to configure multiple SMTP servers or update the SMTP object server information at runtime?
Description of problem: The site I'm working on has a few pages which send emails. Our site is using Gmail so even though it's a custom domain our email is sent out though Gmail SMTP servers.
Some emails come from the system and some emails come from users in certain groups. I have an SMTP server configured with the admin email for the system e.g. admin@mysite.com This works fine and when I get the email it shows from admin@mysite.comOne of our user groups let's call it "groupA" has an email configured on our domain i.e. groupA@mysite.com When I send the email and specify a from address for the MailMessage object as groupA@mysite.com it still shows up in my outlook as coming from admin@mysite.com I did a little further testing and if I specify both the from address and the ReplyTo as groupA@mysite.com it will show as From=admin@mysite.com but when I choose reply in outlook it shows groupA@mysite.com My best guess is that Gmail is overwriting the From address with the SMTP user to prevent email spoofing.
I found this: http://www.systemnetmail.com/faq/4.1.aspx but it won't work for me since group A, B, and C all need to send emails from the same page.
In my web site which is basically a monitor application I have to keep a configuration file which contains some web servers name, names of web sites hosted on each web server, url and port numbers etc.
Can anyone please explain me what are the benefits of treating this configuration file as custom configuration file of my web application and reading it using "ConfigurationSection" or "IConfigurationSectionHandler" rather than treating it as a normal xml file and reading it using 'XMLDocument' or 'XMLTextReader' or 'XLINQ' etc? This will save me from creating an entry in in the web.config file as well this custom configuration file.
How the url is mapped to the WebForm? First, say I have a WebForm in a directory (and/or namespace) like this: alongpath oa And then what would the corresponding url be? Would it be like /a/long/path/to/a/resource.aspx. How asp.net understand how to map urls to directory (ie how to locate the resource)?
Second, if I want the url structure to be different from the directory structure then how to store the map? Say the URL is like this: /a/dfferent/path/to/the/resource.aspx Then how to store the mapping? In addition how to do the same virtual directory sort of thing with MVC2?
i created asp.net web aplication in VS08, where i have files(dll,cs) in app_code all work ok.When I publish this site on the IIS, the page don't find(use) .cs and .dll files. I converted folder to the web aplication and try all posibilites but didn't work.
I have recently set up some hosting space. The problem is whenever I upload flv files and try to reference them directly they can't be found even though I have specified the MIME type in the web config file. The only way to play flash files is to upload them onto seperate webspace and reference them that way. This is what my webconfig file says:
I want to capture fileInfo files in specific folder on FTPServer.here I want file Info like fileName, creationTime, LastModifiedtime, extension etc before downloading them.I want to run validate machanism before downloading files from the FTPServer.But I am unable to get FileInfo from files residing on FTP Server.
Our site as it exists now utilizes only the bin file. We are going to re-migrate our site to use the .cs files to compile on the fly. What settings do I need to set to allow for this and what disadvantages if any are there for using the .cs files in prod?
I have two webconfig files, on in the root directory and one in the other directory. I dont know how to access or specify for the particular pages or APIs those are in the folder.Root webconfig file used by another section and the 2nd one accessed by another api. I have no idea about that
