Deploy Application In The Same Website As Sharepoint
Jul 15, 2010
I am trying to deploy the Bugtracker.NET tool [URL], which is a normal ASP.NET 2.0 application, into the default web site of an IIS which already has Sharepoint installed in it. The OS is Windows Server 2008 R2, IIS 7.5 and Sharepoint Services 3.0. The question is that when I execute the application, I get a NullReferenceException because HttpContext.Current.Session is null, and I think that this could be due to a problem with the configuration of the web site, as the application runs perfect in web sites with no Sharepoint installed.
I already know that Sharepoint customizes the web site with handles, modules and so on, that all applications in the web site inherit, modifying their behavior. I have already given to the ASP.NET application Full trust level, enabled Anonymous authentication and InProc session state, but I am still getting that HttpContext.Current.Session is null. Even changing the app pool from Wss3AppPool to DefaultAppPool does not succeed. Maybe someone could tell me which settings do I need to tweak in the web site in order to avoid this exception.
Suppose I created a custom web application that consists of: several assembly DLLs: web app, business logic, data services multiple aspx pages and ascx custom controls that use them custom configuration section custom HTTP module. More or less the usual stuff. I would like to deploy it to a particular sharepoint site under a certain subfolder. So if I access my sharepoint site via [URL] (because I'm not using sites/some_site) I'd like my application to be available under [URL]
I could manually add a virtual folder (not application because I would need to access some Sharepoint site's data) to my sharepoint site in IIS and manually edit site's web.config file to register my HTTP module and add my custom configuration section as well either putting my DLLs into GAC or put them in the _app_bin (so I don't have problems with CAS), but I don't think that's a good thing to do, because this web application may get deployed in an environment where this shouldn't/couldn't be possible. So I figured I could build a WSP using Visual Studio 2010 and deploy it that way. But I don't have enough experience doing that.
I created a new sharepoint 2010 project. Is there a way I could add all non-executable application files (aspx, ascx) at once? I've seen the advanced tab of the WSP package where I can add my DLLs either to bin folder or GAC. I don't know whether I would also have to add any safe control and register certain classes?So I suppose I need some pretty detailed and explanatory guidance here.
I have an application which has a website and a project. The project contains an executable file which I'm trying to run as a process from the website's Global.asax file's application_start(). When I run this application from localhost, everything runs smoothly but when I deploy the application on IIS, application_start's code is executed and I can see the process name in the taskmanager but I cannot see the window which the console application normally starts in (when i run the application on localhost) and neither is the code executed.
Here's what I'm doing:
-- copied website and project in wwwroot -- made a virtual directory of the website -- when i run the website, I see the process in taskmanager but the code is not executed.
I am new to deployment and IIS, and would really appreciate I someone could tell me what i'm missing
What are the options available to call another web applications hosted in the same server. Eg: i have a application App1 and App2 hosted on the same server.i just wanted to call App2 from App1 how would i do it.
The most important point is that I can not change the url on the address bar to call the page of the 2nd web application.
Whatever I have achieved so far is I have added a link to my 1st application which redirects to the 2nd application, but it is changing the url on the address bar, I want to redirect to the 2nd application from within the 1st application.
I used to deploy developed web parts to a remote sharepoint site by Build->Deploy menu inside Visual Studio 2008 months ago ( I am not a regular web part developer). My network engineer also asked me how to deploy web parts without stsadm commands. anyway now I can't. Visual Studio keeps complaining that the specified site doesn't have sharepoint site contained. "No SharePoint Site exists at the specified URL."
After googling, it is said web parts can't be deployed to remote sharepoint sites from visual studio. Only can to local site. However I did it before. Visual Studio 2008 service pack or hot fix made this feature (remote deploy) removed? Or is there any workaround?
I've got an external site that's built in SharePoint 2007. the user of the site need to have an option to view the full site when accessed from a mobile device. I am thinking of just creating a button control to do this. The question is, what would be the best solution to do this?
Apologies if this seems obvious, but after a week searching I can't find a clear answer to my problem.
I have developed an application in Visual Web Developer 2010 Express that uses the asp.net application services membership provider. It works well in development on my machine (data in the ASPNETDB.MDF database).
I packaged my application and deployed the relevant files with FTP to my shared hosting provider.
I took a copy of the ASPNETDB.MDF and restored it to the SQL Server 2008 on my shared hosting. I can connect to this through the Database Explorer in Visual Web Developer, but it doesn't contain any schema or data.
I know once I have the database in production I will have to make sure the connection string in web.config is poiting to it, but I don't know how to get the DB to production in the first place.
Question: I created an ASP.NET web application. Now it originally was meant for deployment on a webserver. That is working, so, so far so good. My question now is: Is it possible to deploy it as a desktop-application, too? That is to say the installer installs some kind of server, plus the web application, configures the server to run this application on a localhost URL, and then creates a link in the start menu/desktop, where it opens that url (website, the application) on localhost in a web browser?
I think it should be possible, though the server wouldn't be IIS, because this is a windows component which can't be separately installed. Is there anything like this already out there? The nonplusultra would be that it only starts the server when you click on the shortcut.
I've created one web application in ASP.NET - 2.0 Now, I want to deploy it in my localhost itself Is it posible to do so, if yes How it can be achive without having server myself
We have a .Net solution for a website, consisting of 5 projects, and there are a few(less than 10) developers working on the solution. We deploy almost on a daily basis. The question is, how to setup the SVN repo to support this scenario (the daily deploy), also mentioning that not every commited file should go to production, there is a QA check before deploying.
I finished My web Site on my local pc and it works goodNow I want to upload it to server i get space from mochahost.net web siteAnd i want to upload the web siteWhat Files Should i Upload ??I'm using sql server 2008 as my database system and using linq to control the database..
i try to used vs2010 build a mvc2 website, just as a testing. so, i include the jquery script file and some css files, it works well in the vs2010. how ever, when i deploy it to iis7/windows 2008 r2, i found all the css files ("/content/*.css") can run well, but the image files ("/img/*.gif") and script files ("/script/*.js") were absence. in fact, the website runs except the image files & script files.
I'm accustomed to writing desktop applications in C#.NET. Where I have a nice little solution folder which is also under version control. So at any time, on any computer I can check out whatever version of my software I want run the compiler and have a working copy of my program.
Now I'm looking into developing websites, where the files and data are a lot more dispersed. I'm using ASP.NET, but really my question is more general and could apply to any website framework.
I'm trying to understand the proper work-flow between developing my website, a version control server, and the actual live website that users will see. Obviously this can vary a lot depending on the type and scale of the website, but I'm only considering a pretty simple site. I'm just getting started with this stuff.
All the source files for the site would be stored on a subversion server, which I would check out onto my local computer. My local computer would have a local database which I would use for development of the site. Next I would publish to a test version on my hosted server, which would point to a separate test database. This test database may periodically be replaced by a copy of the live database.
If all goes well I would then publish to a beta version of the site which points to the live data. Users could then check out the beta version to provide feedback. Finally if there are still no problems the source files for the live site would be updated.
Does this make sense? Does anyone have any comments on how this could be improved? Are there any good books or online tutorials available on developing these kind of workflows?
Also the one thing that I'm really not sure about is how to manage changes to the actual schema of the database. I figure with each version I could generate a SQL script that can be use to update the Test and Live databases on the host. However, I'd also like to be able to easily setup a new database for any version of my site with out having to run every update SQL script for every version up to the desired version. Is the best solution to use an ORM like NHibernate or Subsonic so I could always generate my database schema directly from my code?
I have source-version of project and i need to deploy it on IIS. General project it properly deploy using VS2008, but issue is, if new revision is created then i need to point new source to deploy web-site. In this case i need to remove created virtual dir for previous version. Is this possible to toggle virtual directory between two sources. I think one solution is to change virtual directory path to new one.
I was commissioned to write a search asp.net page for a company. Page works great, they finally ask me to deploy to the web server. I RDP out to the web server, and instead of finding a normal deployment, I see all the aspx pages along with their code-behind files. They do not pre-compile their pages.
So in an environment like this, how do I deploy my asp.net page? I can get pages to run that don't have dependencies on other things, but this particular page uses Linq. So in my web project, I have a dbml file, and it's generated pages. I have put the dbml and related files on the webserver. The page fails when it encounters the using datacontext statement.
Just wondering is there any drawbacks to publishing a ASP .NET web application by copying all the files in it? (That means all the .cs, .csproj files will be included in the published folder)
So far I can think that the published folder's total size may become a little bigger (but that a negligible issue for me).
I am new to the web development.I have built my website in visual studio 2008 using Sql server 2008 as backend.Now I want to know the whole process of deploying the website in some web domains and as well as my database to some database domain.I didn't purchase any domain till now.I want to know about web hosting as well.
I need to deploy a website from the SVN to different servers all within our own network. The code is currently not complied but probably will be in the future.
First the site would need to be deployed to the development server for the developers to test.
Once the Developer signs off it would be deployed to the staging server for the testers.
Once final sign off was given it would be deployed to a server farm, two live servers.
Each server has a couple of settings in the web.config to that are different; expect the two live server of course. I would like to use templates, the way the Ruby on Rails world does, seems like an elegant solution to multiple web.config files.
I also need to create a list/report of the files that were changed and what the change was since the last deployment.
I thinking of writing a script that will do the following 1. Take args for server to deploy to, and revision 2. Export a copy of the source to a directory with svn export -r <deploy revision> 3. Delete the web.config file 4. Use ttree (a template tool [URL]) to create the correct web.config 5. Create a list of file changes with svn list -r <deploy revision>:<current server revision> 6. Stores the <current server revision> of the website for when the script is run next time
I prefer to use tools that are already available rather than re-invent the wheel. Unfortunately I don't think MSDeploy will do what I need, but I'm happy to use it, or anything else, if it will do what I need it to. Does anyone know of any tools that are up to the task or is the script my only option?
I have a .NET 3.5 web application that I recently added some Linq to Sql functionality to -- a dbml file, etc. Locally, it works fine.
However, when I try to deploy it, I get a null reference exception, apparently when it's trying to call the constructor for the context object.
To add to the complexity, I use a Web Deployment Project which compiles it into a single DLL. I assumed the Linq to Sql stuff would get compiled along with everything else. However, now I'm thinking that I need to move the dbml file up along with the DLL.
I had the dbml file in the App_Code directory, so I tried recreating that directory structure on the remote server. But .NET will not let me have an App_Code directory on a precompiled application. So I just moved the dbml file into the root directory -- but I still get the error.
Here's the stack trace for the error I'm getting:
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.] codeCS.SarcStateDataDataContext..ctor() +28 DB_Interface.SarcStateDataDB..ctor() +26 eSARC_Basic..ctor() +56
[code]....
I don't send it a connection string or connection object, because both the local and deployed versions of the program use the same remote database. But could that be the problem? The local application has access to the connection string in the dbml file, but the deployed application doesn't?
I am having problems in deploying my first project in asp.net and for about 3 days still I haven't deploy yet my first web app. First, I need to deploy my web in windows xp for demonstration purposes before deploying it in the dedicated server. Is there a best tutorial that I can follow in order for me to easily deploy my first web app? I feel so disappointed with it because, it seems that it is not easy to deploy a web app that is made of ASP.NET.
We have a requirement from a client for porting an ASPX website to sharepoint :
Though the site is being served in ASPX there are no form submissions so effectively, they are just static pages without any server side processing required.
However, there is a common header and footer being used.
Here are some of the features being used in the existing site :
sifr for font substitution (using non standard web fonts) flash animations javascript and some jquery common header and footer for all pages
My question is how feasible is it to port this website to sharepoint ? Can i use sifr (or flash for that instance) in sharepoint ? or do i have to port it to silverlight ?
What is the general procedure for converting web applications to sharepoint ? Also i came across this [URL] for migration of website to sharepoint.
Can javascript be used in sharepoint ? How can i have common header and footer in sharepoint documents ?
