Configuration :: Web.config Differences On Local Machine / Failed To Map The Path '/'
May 23, 2010
I am loading the config file programaticality so that i can edit it but ive hit a hitch in that when i debug it through VS i get the following error:
An error occurred loading a configuration file: Failed to map the path '/'.
My code is:
[Code]....
I use it in other sections of my site and know that it works as intended when it is deployed to my webhost. I am having issues with another section where I use it so I want to step through it to debug, what do I change this "~" to, to correctly reference the config when I am debuging locally.
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".
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 have the following code. what i have tried to do is map a path which points to my R:/ - the value 'R:' is stored in my web.config file. this drive is on my server. what i then do is pass the file name and play in an embedded media player in the web browser. when browse the website everything works fine. however, when i browse the website on another PC, i get an error saying it cannot access the file. is this because the second PC i tried the wesbite on doesnt have an R: drive? i wouldnt have thought this was a problem though. is what i am doing wrong? does anyone know why i cant access the file on that drive?
When I press start on my VS2010/Silverlight/C# project, it opens a new instance of the included webserver and opens my browser window so I can test the application. Unfortunately something has happened and I am not sure what it was.. The browser window now opens the starting page with a local machine path (C:...page.aspx) rather than the normal webserver path through http (http://localhost:33592/page.aspx). It is a Silverlight Navigation project using c#/asp.net code behind.
With the project I'm working right now, the team and I don't believe the network/computer policies will allow us to create and save Excel files on a local machine through the Web pages we're building. Well, let me clarify. When we run our web pages on our development machines, when we go to save information to excel through the web page, it uses our local excel executable. However, we want it to use the web server's excel executable. When we run the website, we're running individual local copies because we don't have a web server to test on, so we can't verify if it will use the Web Server's or ours. Does anyone know what it will do, or if it has to be programmatically set a specific way to use excel on the web server, and not on the local machine. Once we get the Web Server to use excel, we'd save the file to a network share that would allow the user to view the file.
I have to host an asp.net that user can access that website something like http://111.11.11.11/myapp/homepage.aspx. ( my ip address will be 111.11.11.11). All I have local IIS installed. I want that if any user clicks on the link. He should be able to access that web application.
i developed an asp.net web site and i used ModuleRewriter to rename my pages you can refer to this link [URL] and i want to add many pages programatically at run time for example i have a page named :
[URL]styles/defaultstyle/Default.aspx
and i want to display this page like this :
[URL]Default.aspx
so my code was like this :
public static void confgrewriter() { try { RewriterRuleCollection rules = RewriterConfiguration.GetConfig().Rules; RewriterRule r = new RewriterRule(); r.LookFor ="~/Dfealut.aspx" ; r.SendTo ="~/styles/defaultstyle/Default.aspx"; rules.Add(r); } catch (Exception ex) { } }
and this solution is working very good on iis at my local machine but when i did upload this website on shared host i recive error message: 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.
Here is my problem: I have created a login form on my local machine. I have tested it on the local machine and it works fine. But when I push it to production it doesn't work.
I set-up the web config file so that the system uses the production database even from my local machine. I used the Web > AspNet Configuration tool in Visual Web developer to add a user to the production database. I used Sql studio management studio to confirm that the user was in the production database and not just on a local database. I have removed all references to the local database. I even deleted the entire app_data folder on my machine so that there was no chance that I am using a local database.
To create the login, I dragged a login component onto my Login.aspx page from the toolbar in visual web developer.
Why can I log in just fine on my local machine, but when push everything to production and I try to log in as that user I get the error message "Your login attempt was not successful"
I am developing a website in ASP.NET. I wanted to know how can I give a static path to my website on my local mahcine such that it will always be deployed on port number. For eg: in php, the path can always be http://localhost/websitename
but in ASP.NET, whenever, I debug the website for testing, it is always deployed to a new port number. This prevents me from testing my script which can only be given a static name in Greasemonkey.
I have connection strings info in web.config. I thought that if this were the case, machine.config would be ignored. But, everytime the connection string in web.con is different than the connection string in maching.con, I get error. The connection name 'aspnetdbConnectionString' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty. Is there something I can check or change to get the app to ignore the machine.config when web.config connection string is listed.
We have a large multi tenanted website which requires thousands of lines of web.config to support it. As the system grows we are finding it more and more difficult to manage this configuration file.The system currently in place uses XSLT to generate the config but this solution seems to involve a lot of duplicated code (we have 12 deployment environments).
I am leaning towards putting the configuration data in the db so we can be sure that it's deployed with the application and that our release notes don't require the IT guys messing around with XML
We have a problem regarding decrypting the web.config... We encrypted the web.config in computer A. but we need it to decrypt it in computer B.
we got an error
"Failed to decrypt using provider 'DataProtectionConfigurationProvider'. Error ssage from the provider: Key not valid for use in specified state. (Exception om HRESULT: 0x8009000B) (D:WCFSearchweb.config line 17)
Key not valid for use in specified state. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8009000B) Failed!"
we also tried the RSAProtectedConfigurationProvider and we're not able decrypt also...
I search google and found this unfortunately we can't decrpyt it... How do i include the key? do i need to copy and paste it?
i have an asp.net project in vs2010 i have a db and table inside the app_data folder, i have created a deployment package and have imported the package into an iis server that is installed on my local mechine. now i get this error message while trying to preform an insertion.
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed the connection string is:

aspnet_regiis.exe -pdf "connectionStrings" c:web.config And this is the error I got. Error - "The configuration for physical path 'C:Web.Config' cannot be opened. And the permissions of that file is not read only.
I have a Windows Service I have developed in Visual Studio 2005 (C#).
It accesses a database using a connection string in machine.config.
On my Windows XP Pro 32bit (SP3) machine, it works correctly.
On my new Windows 7 Pro 64bit machine, it throws "object not set to an instance of an object" when it gets to the line where it's trying use the connection string.
This is the 'object' which is not set in Windows 7:
The machine.config has the same connection string set up on both machines.
A .Net 2 website transferred to the Windows 7 machine has no problem accessing the same connection string.
I have tried a bunch of different permissions on the machine.config and its containing folders, and setting the service to log in as Admin, but I don't know exactly what permissions are required.
I wanted to impose specific timeout interval and request length on some specific pages that uploads documents of size up to 50MB. Hence I did the following config changes after going through some sites.
I keep getting error when I run the application. I tried various other ways like giving the complete path like <sitename>/<applicationname>/<v.folder name>/<filename>.I tried this on both IIS 6.0 and IIS 7.0.
I'm just wondering what the best practice is for managing web.config connection strings and SMTP settings when working locally in VS2008 and deploying to a remote server?
I want to I get the file path test.config.How do find the the path to that file ?I tried something this but it appears an error:Object reference notes Set to an instance of an object.
2. I have PC, on which file to copy to device is located, with Active Sync installed and IE running which has a page in that IE has rendered by server #1.
3. I have a DEVICE connected to desktop #2 via AS.
I would like to copy file from a local machine to the device which is connected to this machine. My application is located in a webserver.
On one of my pages I display a datetime (from a database) and it is formatted correctly as a UK date time (dd-mm-yyyy) on my local machine. However when I deploy it to a server it reverts to American format (mm-dd-yyyy). Does anyone have any idea of when this might be happening?This might be outside the scope of stackoverflow
