My company is looking to upgrade the web server from Server 2003 to 2008 (along with IIS of course). Currenty the websites are built using ASP.NET 3.5 (and a blog in PHP), is there anything that needs to be done to ensure the sites (forget the blog) still work on the new server? I'll no doubt upgrade the sites over time to use .Net 4 or MVC, but for the moment the transition needs to be almost seamless.

View 5 RepliesWe have multiple websites deployed onto Windows 2003 WebServer running under .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 version and now we want to upgrade it to .NET Framework 2.0 SP2, so just wanted to check that after upgrading the .NET Framework on the server do we also need to re-deploy the websites by recompiling them in .NET Framwork 2.0 SP2 version or it's not necessary as they will automatically start referencing the latest assemblies?

View 6 RepliesI have been writing c# .net in MVS 2005 conneting to a sql 2005 db, after initial setup about a million years ago, everyhting ran smoothly. Then I upgraded to MVS 2008 connecting to a sql 2005 server. Still all good. Now my IT department FINALLY wants to upgrade the sql server (Stand alone server running on win server 2003 r2). I am wondering if there is a checklist or walk through of steps i need to take to keep connettivity. If I shoiuld build new connection strings for example, or should the current connections be ok to find the server/db/tables provided the server name and permissions haven't changed? Here is a snippit of my config file

View 1 RepliesI am having some trouble upgrading an existing SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services installation from an old server to a new one commissioned for this purpose, which is running SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services. I have been following the instructions here: [URL] but after trying to connect with reporting services 2008, i get this error: The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.6.54'. The expected version is '147'. (rsInvalidReportServerDatabase) before starting the process, I ran upgrade advisor and got back the following results:
Description Setup can upgrade a SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services instance that uses a SQL Server 2000 Database Engine in the same instance. However, upgrade is blocked if the report server database is in a different instance, on a remote instance, or runs on a remote SQL Server 2005 instance in SQL Server 2000 compatibility mode.
*****
*note, our reporting services IS in the same instance as the SQL Server 2000 database engine. However, upgrade advisor still reported that this instance can not be automatically upgraded.
*****
Corrective Action Choose either approach to continue with the upgrade: Upgrade the Database Engine instance on the remote computer before upgrading Reporting Services. The server cannot be in SQL Server 2000 compatibility mode after upgrade. Move the reportserver and reportservertempdb to a SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008 Database Engine instance, and then use the Reporting Services Configuration tool to connect the report server to the database.
so, I went with option 2, move the database then connect. I have: -backed up the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB databases from the old server, transferred them to the new and restored them to the 2008 Server as ReportServerOld. -I then renamed the old database to ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB, as this is required to use the database as a source apparently. I had to of course change the existing database names to ReportServerNew to perform the rename. I backed up the symetric key for this installation using the rskeymgmt utility...............

View 2 RepliesWe have a web application that makes a call to a remotely hosted ASMX service that worked in Server 2003 under IIS6. We are now migrating it to a Server 2008/IIS 7 setup and it doesn't appear that the application makes the call to the remote web service anymore. We ran Wireshark and don't see any traffic to the service URL. It seems to throw a 404 error without trying to connect.
Is there some security policy or restriction in Server 2008 or IIS 7 we need to set to allow an ASP.NET application make a call to a remote web service? We are using Network Service as our application pool user, but also tried using Local System as a troubleshooting step. In addition, the same code works if run from a console application on the server instead of the web application.
Is there some setting under IIS7 or server 2008 that would be causing this?
I'm a total noob to anything ASP. I'm a web designer for my county's sheriff dept. and I don't create dynamic pages because out content doesn't require it. In fact, I'm still quite new to web design. The programmer who created the apps has zero experience with IIS7. These apps are designed to run on our organization's intranet server. I'm not having any luck with getting these sites to run properly. I have the sites created with the proper directories. When I click in the right-hand column of IIS Manager to browse to the sites, they launches but don't function as they should. They load up like static pages. I installed .Net 1.1 hoping that would make a difference but it had no effect.
View 4 RepliesAfter I installed Visual Studio 2008 Standard edition, then I upgrade "SQL Server Express 2005" to "SQL Server Express 2008 SP2". Process upgrading SQL Server Express 2008 was going succesfully (none of the process was fail).
But when I create a New Website I could not add a new item "SQL Server Database" into my website file. Because Visual Studio always rejected any new "SQL Server Database" by giving message below (underline):
This server version is not supported. Only servers up to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 are supported.
I upgraded my vs2005 web application to vs2008, after i run the upgrade wizard,It l pop up one error which says that .net framework 2.0 is not available. I can compile the upgraded project but can not run that. I am wondering where in IIS, I can point the project to framework 3.0?
I ran the project, it had the following error,
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.
Requested URL: /XX/yy.asmx
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.4952; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.4955
the project was upgraged to vs2008, i am not sure why it still points to v2.0. Also i looked at the project file, I already upgraded the oracle data access dll(from oracle side) to higher version, it also points to the old version.
The other issue is when i open the Solution, It prompted me to create the virtual diectory: Http://localhost/XX, I clicked yes, will the vitually directory automatically generated? If i go to the view sites/add vitual directory, if i enter VeroValueXmllister, will it automatically generate the Virtually directory? Http://localhost/XX

I've been running a version of SQL 2008 Express for sometime, however after getting some free software off Microsoft I updated my version of Visual Studio to professional and then tried to update my Express version of SQL to 2008 R1.
I downloaded it from the MS site and proceeded to work through the pre-installation instructions, however I wasn't offered the opportunity of installing a new instance and was then advised there was nothing to upgrade on the version I had installed.
