Is it true that ASP.NET and IIS hosting is more more expensive that PHP and Apache? Say I want to host a dedicated server, then will the difference be that big?
- Another thing, do I really need a license for SQL Server database and IIS or something like that when I pay for a company for the dedicated server or they will pay that?
I'm working on a site that will offer a free service. It's a very simple site: A visitor will choose some text files from their PC, and once he has finished choosing them, he will click on the "Submit" button. This "Submit" button will simply upload the text files to X folder on the server and run a 3rd-party executable that will process these files. That's it. The exe will be doing all the work and creating a new file that the user will be downloading. This is the problem: I've found out the hard way that shared hosting plans don't allow executables on their servers. So it's been suggested that I purchase a VPS or dedicated server plan for this, but the cheapest one I found is $39/mo.
Although my site will have a "premium" service, it's mostly free, and I wasn't expecting to spend too much on hosting. As a matter of fact, I was planning on using my current shared plan for this. My question is: is there any other way of being able to do this? It would need to be automated; being free, tons of people (hopefully) will go to the site, start uploading text files, and wait for the result. I could do it manually (download the text files from the server, run the EXE locally, and finally upload the result and email the user), but that's almost impossible.
I have web application (asp.net) located on web server. I need to send email asynchronously from other server (task server) because web server is high loaded. I plan to store mail in database.
View 1 RepliesThe thing is Im going to upload a website to a server. I usually do this to a webhost, but this time there is none so I just have the server.What do I need to do? Must I do something with IIS? .NET? And, where do I actually put the file structure?
View 2 RepliesI know how to send email from asp.net using my pc and my provider smtp server. But doing the same thing from a Win2008 dedicated server is confusing for me. I have installed the smtp server and configure for my virtual web as explained here :
[URL]
But I'm confused by these two lines
serv.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis;
serv.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SmtpServerUserName"], ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SmtpServerPassword"]);
1°) Why PickupDirectoryFromIis since in configuration localhost smtp server has been chosen and not pickup directory ?
2°) When setting up the smtp server no login / password has been asked so is the same as the computer login / password ?
I want the rewrite url to work on the virtual dedicated server. so when someone enters the url without extension like http://megafastline.com/feedback , it shud display the contents of the page feedback.aspx

I have installed SQL Server 2008 Express Advance Services Edition on server.
I have copied the standard asp.net VS 2O10 from simplest template (the one with login link and 2 tabs home and about) under the root directory of the server. The website works until I try to login then I get:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server
I cannot find a single article that just explains step by step how to deploy this simple example used by Microsoft or can I ? Then can you point me to this tutorial thanks.
Quick question. When updating aspx.cs files on a virtual dedicated server does it require a restart of the virtual server for the changes to take effect?
View 5 RepliesI have created my site using ASP.NET Personal Starter Kits 3.5. I use Visual Studio 2008 only . .with its built-in SQL Server (2005 Express) ... my database in App_Data is ASPNETDB.MDF ...
I have created some of my tables also ....in ASPNETDB ..
In my local PC the site was running fine ...
But when I publish my site on production server it doesn't work and shows the following error
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="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 configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

View 1 RepliesWhat is the best dedicated hosting site for an asp.net 2.0 site? The key consideration for me are:
(i) Cost
(ii) Processor
(iii) Harddisk
(iv) Traffic i.e. Bandwidth
(v) Technical support
I have used Lunarpages and Godaddy before but I am considering 1&1 but am not sure what their technical support is like.
My kind webhost (1and1) royally asked me to go elsewhere to do something like this.
I have 2 sites. One of them was developed by a .Net programmer. Now I am contracted to implement a PHP site and fetch data from the .Net site.
There is an ASP.Net form that a customer fills and when they hit submit, the data gets stored in SQL Server DB. How do I also store the same data in MySQL parallelly? I cannot directly use some database connectors with ASP.Net since MySQL connectivity is not supported on 1and1 Windows hosting (biz account, no less!).
What I thought of is to publish an RSS feed of entries in ASP.Net site and routinely scrape that data into MySQL on Linux host. It is an overkill, I know. Not efficient.
I have one IIS entry with AppPool integrated mode. There are 5 or more host headers assigned. The application pulls data based on the host name from Request.Url.Host. When I have 2 or more sites open at the same time the value of the Request.Url.Host is the same across all the sites. About every 30 seconds it resets itself to the correct value from the last request and shows that value on the other sites. So ultimately the sites are loading the same data. The value in the HOST server variable is incorrect as well.
View 1 RepliesI have heard of the pains of setting up IIS. On a windows box, can I simply drop a ASP.NET application into Apache server and have it work? Or are there any other server alternatives? I am relatively new to web server concepts. I have heard suggestions for the server in mono but it doesn't seem practical using mono on a windows box, I could use a Linux box with mono, which wouldn't surprise me if it worked better then a windows solution, but for arguments sake this question is directed towards a windows box.
