some reason that I can't figure out, the iisreset command prohibits the webserver extension ASP.NET 2.0.50727 and this prevents the site being accessible.I would have to manually allow the webserver extension so that the site becomes accessible.This happens only on one of the load balanced servers.The rest work fine without any issues.
View 3 RepliesWe recently migrated applications from one web server to another. Previously they could upload files to the server and if it already existed, it would over write with the new one.
Now I have to manually delete the file from the server so they can upload a new one. If I delete it they can upload a new one and even upload one to overwrite the one they uploaded. But only after I delete the "migrated" one.
All of the security is correct. ASPNET and IIS_WPG have permissions.
Da Code:
If System.IO.File.Exists(UploadLoc + Me.FileUpload_PDF.FileName) Then
System.IO.File.Delete(UploadLoc + Me.FileUpload_PDF.FileName)
End If
Me.FileUpload_PDF.SaveAs(UploadLoc + Me.FileUpload_PDF.FileName)
I get the dreaded "access to the file is denied"
Update: I find if I give "USER" modify rights it works, but that does not seem secure.
the codes given below only working on localhost but not on web server.

What is the best way to update a DB on a webserver without shutting down the website that is running on the server?
We want to do things like replacing tables, updating tables and so on, without shutting down the website. One can do everything one wants to by simply opening the webiste on a local instance of visual webdeveloper express (2008 for example). But as soon as the DB is opened in that program, the website looses contact to the database and is effectively down.
Is there another way to access the database wihtout having to shut it down?
Of course one could program such functions viwht asp.net, however, there are so many tasks to be done that it would be tedious to program a new function on an admin website each time. Is there a simple and direct way to change the DB?

I installed Visual Web Developer Express 2010 and - after that - I realized that my Remote WebServer did not have the FramWork 4.0. So, I uninstalled VWD 2010 and its Framework 4.0 and re-install VWD 2008 and Framework 3.5. So, I've done my ASP.NET application on that Framework 3.5. Unfortunatelly, everytime I've tried to publish the files remotelly, I get the error bellow. What should I do to solve that?
[Code]....
I'm quite new to ASP and I can't seem to figure out how to get the application/website to work properly on my webserver. The first thing I had done was to build the solution, shortly followed by 'build website' and at last, to 'publish website'. It saved the files to C: -> Documents -> MS VS -> Projects -> My website.
There, the following files are found:
Account [folder]; App_Data [folder]; Scripts [folder]; Styles [folder]; bin [folder]; Web.config; Site.master; Default.aspx; About.aspx and PrecompiledApp.config.
I then uploaded these via FTP to my webserver and accessed the appropriate URL. Seems nothing showed up in root beside "Index of/". When I tried to access /Default.aspx, nothing but text appeared (which would be the code displayed in Default.aspx).
I've also read some tutorials regarding this matter where they instructed me to upload directly from Visual Studio to the FTP server, but I'm kind of afraid that it'll delete everything in said folder, as I don't know what the structure of said direct upload should be like.
I need to be able to create and manage users and what sites they can access in IIS. For instance, I dont want user A touching user B's site.
I do not want to enable users to log in to the webserver via remote desktop.

I have weird issue here, I have a method that takes a login Id and authenticates with LDAP active directory and returns the employee Id. It works great when I run the application in Visual studio 2008 ( it uses the default visual studio developement webserver). The code authenitcates the login id and returns emp Id perfectly. But the problem comes when I publish the code to the Local IIS in my developement PC.

View 1 RepliesI've got an application that needs to do some work on startup (before the first request is in). I've added the initialization code in the global.asax file (Application_start method) but this code doesn't seem to be hit after an iis reset is performed.Is there an event which is triggered in an asp.net application when an iis reset has occurred?
View 2 RepliesI want my site visitors to be able to navigate to a page without having to type the .aspx extension. For example, if I have a page file named info.aspx I want site visitors to be able to go to that page with a URL like this: www.mysite.com/info without the aspx extension. Is there a way to do this in the web.config file?

View 1 RepliesI have a web site project using the .NET 2.0 Framework that I am working on in Visual Studio 2008. I am using a third-party DLL in my project. I have added a reference to the DLL in my project and I can use everything as expected, including a number of extension methods for certain objects. Intellisense sees these extension methods, and I am able to make use of them and I can build my project on my local machine without any errors.
However, when running my website on a production server, I get a Compilation Error saying that the extension method I am trying to use could not be found. I can use everything else in the DLL besides the extension methods on the production server.
This is my first exposure to extension methods and understand what they are, but I can't seem to figure out why I can't make use of these methods outside of my local machine.
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'm still trying to resolve a problem with relative links on a page that uses URL routing. The relative links work find when running from Visual Studio, but fail when deployed to a shared hosting account.I'm told that the difference is that Development Server handles all requests through ASP.NET handler but IIS7 doesn't. The result is that URLs with no extension are considered folders on my test machine, and filenames on the shared hosting account. That breaks the relative links.
It was suggested that I do wildcard mapping to IIS7. But I can't make random changes to the shared server machine. I also have concerns about routing everything through IIS, graphics files, style sheets, javascript files, etc. In addition, I also tried adding a <base> tag, which fixed this issue but broke other links on the page.
So I'm left with two questions.
1. If IIS isn't processing files without an extension, then how does my routed page display as an ASP.NET page?
2. What I'd really like to do is specify in my web.config that all files with no extension be handled the way they're handled when running from Visual Studio. I don't suppose that's possible.
Is there a way of hiding the .aspx page extension in ASP.NET pages to look like MVC applications?
View 3 RepliesI recently developed a simple application for displaying a list of files to some users based on access levels and allowing them to download them etc.
This application was developed to be hosted inside a large corporation with heavy security policies and is fairly mission critical.. The application is very basic,
it checks the users NTID (using windows authentication) compares that to a table in SQL then pulls up a list of all the files on which this user has access Thats pretty much it.. There are also a couple of forms for adding a user and editing a user and uploading a file.
We have a problem often where the application is pretty much unresponsive. This can be remedied by opening command prompt and running 'iisreset' I should also note when originally deploying the application we changed some settings on the server to allow connections to stay open a while longer to allow bigger file uploads.. Could this be locking the application up? I am unabble to restart the server until the weekend. The server is a windows 2003 box running IIS6.0 and .NET 2.0
I have a web application project on my dev PC running WinXP and hence IIS 5.1. The changes I'm making to this site seem to "take effect" only after I do IISRESET. That is, I make a source change, Rebuild the project and then Start without Debugging (or with debugging). The newly changed code is not "visible" or in effect unless I intervene with an IISRESET.
BTW, the "web" tab on the Properties display for the web app project is configured to use the Local IIS web server at project Url: http://localhost/myVirtualDirectory
...
but I've noticed the same issue when using the VStudio Dev Server (i.e. I have to stop it by visiting the taskbar tray area in order to see my source changes take effect).
Is this something I can change?
EDIT UPDATE:
Just wanting to clear this up if possible. Two answers diverge below; not sure how to move forward. One states this is to be expected (weakness of IIS 5.1 which in turn is the best WinXP can provide). Another states this is not expected behavior (and I tend to agree since this is the first I've encounted this on the same old WinXP dev platform I've had a long time). I suspect it may be something "deep inside" the Visual Studio 2008 web app which was upgraded to this new IDE from VStudio 2002 (ASP.NET 1.1). I've tried to add comment/questions down each answer path.
