Deployment Process For Site Maintained By 2 Companies?
Jun 16, 2010
I work for an agency that has been responsible for maintaining a client's .net 3.5 website for a number of years along with another agency. Work is farmed out by the client to both agencies on a pretty much ad-hoc basis.
The site is quite old and has a structure and deployment process to match. The site is setup that developers have local copies of the sites. There is a staging environment, where client feedback and approval happens, followed by the live environment. There are a number of scenarios where work from one agency will be on the staging environment awaiting approval, and changes from the other agency need to go through staging, approval and deployed to live without the original changes being affected. Most of the time we get away with it but it's far from ideal as not all conflicts can be resolved.
Up until recently we had still been on Sourcesafe but have moved over to Subversion and are running into many more scenarios where work is overwritten. This obviously isn't a fault with subversion, rather that the locking of projects and files in Sourcesafe served as a good indicator to developers from both agencies that someone was working on that project or file. The process previously was that you checked out a file from sourcesafe and kept it checked out until changes went live (acknowledge that this is a rubbish process hence the desire to move away from sourcesafe and such a model)
The trouble is that even though we know that the way we do it now is bad, I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to restructure the overall site and deployment process to make it "better". Some ideas we've pondered are:
Separate dev, test and live branches in subversion so we need to commit and build the appropriate branch before deploying (not really sure how to make that work)Single repository for both agencies but a separate staging environment for each. Staging environment could then reflect the changes assigned to each agencyA separate instance of the staging site for each branch

I'm working on a new project and I would like to use forms authentication to protect the necessary pages. The project is going to be focused on companies where a company would create an account and have multiple users. Each company should have its own data and should not be able to see other companies' data. What would be the best way to go about this? I've considered using a subdomain for each company which would tell the application which membership provider to use. I've also considered using an additional credential such as company ID to specify which company the user is logging into.

Is not a lot of fun of yielding much success at the moment.
When I copy my web site on the local machine some of the CSS classes in my themes are not applied. Although not major, I am concerned at what may be causing this.
My real problem is regard the root of the site. On my personal machin, I have set the root of my site using the tilde syntax. However, the root of the web site on my host's ftp site is wwwroot.
Does this mean that I need to change a setting somewhere for the page to be recognised?

I am working on a web application which has around 40 pages. We have separate business and DB layer. But there are still few simple business logic in code behind (CS) page of each aspx file. So when there is any change in that code behind, it lead to complete re-deployment of whole project. Is there any option where I could re-deploy only the corresponding code behind and aspx page alone?
Note : We copy the web contents to the virtual directory for each deployment

I am using WIX 3.6 for VS2010 to create our MSI's for our web application setups. This is all working fine and all in terms of deployment and uninstall.
I recently allowed the user to specify the virtual directory and application pool names to support side by side installs. This is all fine as I have created my own setup bootstrapper.
The issue is with uninstallation.
If the user does not specify the names and leaves the default values, it will install successfully.
The minute the user updates the names from the defaults, the install process will not remove the app-pool and virtual directory. This is what I have found consistently with my testing.

I am using the Standard edition of VS2008 to develop a website locally. Now, I am ready to upload the website to a remote server, but I cannot find any output to transfer. I clicked on the "Build Web Site" option of the "Build" drop-down list and got a "Build Succeeded" message, but nothing else.
I only found a file of type "Visual Studio Solution user Options". It was in a folder under a "Projects" folder within the "Visual Studio 2008" subdirectory. Does that one file contain everything needed for the website to function on the remote server?
I also found another folder along with the file named "PrecompiledWeb". This folder contained web page files and related static files of a previous precompile operation, but no newer files. There was also a "bin" folder with old compiled files and application extension files. I cannot find newly compiled files anywhere. What am I doing wrong?

I am ready to deploy my first real website to my Hosting Server and was wondering exactly how a simple FTP or Copy of the website files will operate as opposed to proper deployment via publishing the website to a DLL?
Will my Typed Datasets within my .xsd files work normally by FTP'ing them to my server or is there something special i need to do such as build them?
Here are the file types i need to deploy:
1) .aspx and aspx.vb files for my website pages (some in folders such as Admin, etc....)
2) App_Browsers --> CSSMenuAdapter.Browser for use with the CSS Control toolkit
3) App_Code --> several .xsd dataset files. Do these just get FTP'd to the server as well????
4) Bin --> several .dll files for using the CSS Control Toolkit, AJAX Control Toolkits, FCK Editor controls
5) CSS files and folders
6) web.config file
Can i just FTP all of the above folders and files and get the website to work, or does some of this .net 3.5 require publishing to DLL's???

Is there a difference between the Web Setup Project in VS2008 and the Web Deployment Project that I keep reading about on this site? More importantly, how much of a help is the deployment project over just using the setup project?

I am having deployment issue with AjaxControlToolKit.dll. I copied the DLL to my local bin dir, and it works fine. But when I do the build on test server, the files are not in Visual Source Safe anywhere, so the site doesn't work. What could be the issue?.

I have a web service that I have successfully published locally several times through VS2008. When I attempt to publish this service through VS2010, a dialog window is displayed where you must enter a 'Service URL' and 'Site/Application.' The service URL is not a problem, but what do I enter as a 'Site/Application?'
My entries are as follows:
Service URL: http://localhost/gfIDSProxyAccess/Service1.asmx
Site/Application: localhost/gfIDSProxyAccess
I also tried localhost, gfIDSProxyAccess, www.gfcpa.com, gfcpa.com, www.gfcpa.com/index.html and localhost/gfIDSProxyAccess/Service1.asmx, with and with and without the http://.

I am have made a website which entertains its users(authenticated) to send sms. Website is available to users within my local network and outside (internet). I have designed two libraries, one for sending receiving sms and other one for processing those sms messages....But whenever page is refreshed, all the objects are initialized again blah blah resulting error for port 'Acess denied' For that I used object serialization etc. But I want to put my whole sms related work to separate process and use MSMQ between my website and sms process for communication. Please guide me that how can I run that separate sms process all the time and taking commands from website to send sms to whom etc?
Requirements:
1. SMS Process (background) should not have any interface but to communicate with using MSMQ only.
2. Website should be able to communicate with that SMS Process at any time using MSMQ, that is commands to send sms to whom, show received sms etc.
I am complete with all my website and sms engine work. All put all this in website but couldnt get reliablility. Please just guide me how and where to start for MSQM?

I'm updating an old process that already exists, which works as follows:
The user submits a form which runs the following asp (simplified, names changed):
<%
set rb = Server.CreateObject("RecordBuilder.SomeObject")
rb.Calculate()
rb.StartProcess()
%>
The RecordBuilder.SomeObject was an old VB6 DLL, I don't have VB6, so I converted it to VB.NeT 4.0
The call to Calculate() works as expected, the call to StartProcess() fails.
StartProcess() is the following:
Public Function StartProcess()
Try
strProcess = "Starting process"
Dim proc = New Process()
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "d:AppRecordProcessor.exe"
Dim procHandle = proc.Start()
strProcess = "Started process"
Catch ex As Exception
Err.Raise(vbObjectError + 9999, "RecordBuilder.SomeObject", strProcess & " failed: " & ex.Message & "<hr />Stack Trace:<br />" & ex.StackTrace)
End Try
End Function
This fails with the call to proc.Start(), however if I copy the test ASP to a .vbs file it will work as expected.
I have changed the permissions on d:AppRecordProcessor.exe to grant execute permission to the group Everyone.

We are working on a SharePoint Site where we have created lot of webparts. Now so far we have been creating SitePages for these webparts manually and adding webparts to those. It takes lot of time in any environment and its difficult to move from environment to environment.What is the ideal way of doing it? How can we automate sitePage creation process and hopefully add webpart to it by some scripts?

I have been looking around for a solution for this problem that works across different versions of Windows Server & IIS, but so far I couldn't find a reasonable solution, what I need is some sort of a script or a command line tool, that takes a certificate file (pfx) for example and then either using the same script or tool find a way to configure one website to use this certificate.

I'm getting an exception when trying to access an .asmx webservice within a MVC site. I've tried numerous things like updating the web reference within the console application and building another quick app to test, but can't get passed this issue. If I pull the URL out of the svc variable, I can browse to it directly.
Exception Details
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException
occurred Message=Server was unable
to process request. ---> Value cannot
be null. Parameter name: uriString
Source=System.Web.Services Actor=""
Lang="" Node="" Role=""
StackTrace:
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage
message, WebResponse response, Stream
responseStream, Boolean asyncCall)
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String
methodName, Object[] parameters)
at ClarityIntegration.SendTrackerDataToClarity()
in [REDACTED].Reference.cs:line 78
at [REDACTED].Program.Main(String[] args)
in [REDACTED].Program.cs:line 33
InnerException:
CONSOLE APP CODE
var svc = new TrackerClarityService.ClarityIntegration()
{
Url = url,
Credentials =
new System.Net.NetworkCredential("user", "pass", "domain")
};
svc.SendTrackerDataToClarity();
svc.Dispose();
The exception was coming out of the Web Service itself. There were some global variables not being initialized directly through the .asmx call that were being initialized by the application itself.
Some simple checks on variables within the Web Service and setting what needs to be set have fixed up the issue.

We're experiencing a nasty issue in Oracle 11g Release 2 where the w3wp process takes over and entire processor core, and debugging shows that the Oracle data provider is throwing ThreadAbortExceptions infinitely. A developer found this issue by doing the following:
1) Browse a web site that uses Oracle data connections locally (http://localhost/OracleWebSite - we use IIS, not the ASP.NET dev server, for all of our sites). This ensures that the w3wp process is running and that an active Oracle pool of connections exists in the app pool.2) Stop the web site (or perform a Rebuild All operation in Visual Studio on the web site in question).Our Oracle connection handling in the affected applications (all Oracle web apps) is well-established and robust. This issue does not occur if we disable connection pooling. This issue does not occur in Oracle 11g Release 1.
