We are using Two servers for our application managed by a load balancer. One of which server contains Windows server 2003 & other one contains Windows server 2008. When a request is served by windows 2003 server and its subsequent goes to the other one (2008 server). Users gets log out. Are we need same Operating systems on both systems because( when request served by 2008, and subsequent on 2003 is served without any issue).
We host a SaaS application on 4 windows 2008 servers loadbalancer via a LVS. We use infragistics and Ajax Control Toolkit on several pages, one page represents a list of people using a Web Datagrid, each time a person is clicked in the list, an Ultra Web Tab component is updated at the botom of the page with detailed information on that person. After a certain amount of clics on different people (number of clics can be between 1 and 5) Scriptresource.axd craches with the following error :
[Code]....
I don't get this error when I run my application on one server using the server's private IP adress. I tried to synchronize the dates of the dlls System.Web and System.Web.Extensions on each server, I still get the same error.
One issue with ASP.NET apps is that they periodically reload themselves, causing a long delay and possibly timeout for users who hit the site during that time.
This may not be a problem for small websites, but it can represent significant downtime for high-traffic sites, if users happen to get routed to node in the web farm that is restarting.
Can load balancers somehow "know" if an ASP.NET application domain on a specific server is restarting? Then, they can route traffic around this server until the application has completed restarting.
Currently, I have my load balancer ping a simple .aspx page on the site. If there is a delay or the page fails to load, the host is taken out of rotation. Is it possible to do a more targeted health check, perhaps at the IIS level rather than ASP.NET level?
I have a couple of servers and a load balancer. I want to show a server name which is currently serving the page.
I am using HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["SERVER_NAME"] and HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["LOCAL_ADDR"] but is shows the same data for all servers (load balancer information is shown but not the information about exact server name).
I'm creating web application behind load balancer. To this moment I configured it to store session in database but I'm not sure how should I handle session expiration. The problem is not sessions are not removed from database but Session_End event because I have to call some web service method in it.
Assuming Session_End is called when expires the thing I'm afraid of is situation when session is created on one server but finished on another. In this case I'm afraid Session_End on first server will be executed prematurely and I will call web service too early. What would you suggest in this situation?
Edit:
I remember some time ago reading about Sql Agent reacting to session end event and then performing custom code. Can anybody confirm that this solution is possible?
I have published a website and installed it on my local machine and it works fine, but when i install it on the both servers who controlled from the load balancer i got an error like the WebResource.axd not found. how can i resolve this problem? i have checked the IIS for axd mapping, the "Check that file exists" is unchecked for both servers.
I haven't deployed behind a load balancer before. My customer has a WCF service built and tested on servers using a service model configuration that is relatively straightforward. It provides a service to return an image of a map for another application. To get the map, it calls other services.
The service was built in Visual Studio 2010 targeting the 3.5 framework. The customer is using IIS 7.5 and an F5 load balancer. When moving to the production server, the Web.config was changed to add the load balancer behavior and specify the endpoint to show the physical and logical address of the service:
[Code].....
There was a problem when the service was deployed to a server behind the load balancer. When I try to call the service from WCFStorm or WebServiceStudio I get the message "The provided URI scheme 'https' is invalid; expected 'http'.
The endpoints for the service itself look right to me. However in the development and testing versions of the config, the client section uses http instead of http, while on the production servers it uses the load balancer's https address. This seems like it should be obvious, but we're missing it.
Our server operations team has asked the web development team (ASP.NET) to provide a URL in our application, which the load balancer can ping to perform health checks.
What should be executed on this page? I think we should attempt a database connection to ensure connectivity between the web and database.
we have an web site access on PRODTEST Environment . We are facing an issue site works fine when we try to access the site using the Individual Server names (with Ip address).
I have four servers 2 App Server(behind firewall) and 2 webservers and each server is accessing through Load Balancer.
App Server is a modules for Data Access layer and webserver is for Presentation layer.
My Issue is My Load Balancer has Secure certificate installed but certificate is not installed on servers and I want to make cookie as secure in site , as per my understanding " cookie should be set as secure only for SSL site other ways new session will get create every time" so should I install SSL certificate on webserver to make my cookie as secure or will it work properly even if only Load Balance has SSL.
I have the following web farm setup in production server. Browser --> HTTPS --> Load Balancer --> HTTP --> webserver node F5 Load balancer handles off box SSL termination. It implies that SSL resides on F5 load balancer. Problem Statement: Ajax calls do not go through unless "Access data sources across domains" option is enabled in IE security settings.
I have the similar setup in staging server except F5 Load balancer. The ASP.Net application makes perfect AJAX calls on both HTTP and HTTPS. However, the staging server web farm use windows NLB and SSL resides on individual web server nodes
I have 3 servers where 1 of them serves as a load balancing server. In my ASPX page, I want to add a HTML comment to show the IP address or even host name of the server selected by the load balancer. I tried looking through IIS Server variables and tried using SERVER_NAME but that just returns the domain URL.
My website uses forms auth and I am trying to create a load balancer (hardware) rule which will keep track of sessions based on the aspxauth cookie. Is it safe assume that the value of the cookie is unique?
We have 2 asp.net web servers working through the LoadBalancer that are accessible externally. Earlier, for all applications we did logging into DB. Now we have 1 more app that doesn't work with DB, it is used for 'messages transferring'. On TEST environment it does logging into files into a local folder.
If we deploy it "as is" to PROD we will have 2 separate log files... that is not very good idea. Connecting to DB just for logging doesn't seem reasonable too...
Possible solution could be store log file into a shared folder somewhere on another server.
I am using SQL Server 2005 and i have a application that using FoxPro.
Can I load the data into SQL Server's table from FoxPro? if yes, i would like schedule this job daily, can i write it in Store Procedure and run daily in special time?
I have a web application that will be distributed over 2 servers and the Database will be on a server other than the 2 servers. so application on each server will access database exists in another server.I am using caching in the application and when data changed the cache is cleared and the problem now how each server will feel with cache changes on the other server?
I have tried SQLCache dependency before and i have heard about Memcached, Velocity and Enterprise cache so which one will be more efficient and optimal for this case? and i have another solution to create webservice method on each application and when the cache is cleared in one application it will request the webservice method on the other application to clear cache there.
Which technique is more efficient and optimal in performance and security? and is SQLCache dependency related to SQL database only or can be applicable to other databases like Oracle?
Note: I am using load balancer to distribute requests coming for the application among the 2 server
If same web application is deployed on three different servers, which things we need to take care of and what things should be common amonges all three?
We have built an asp.net application according to 3 tier architecture, but Data Tier and Application logic lies on the same server. Our client needs that to be deployed in 2 different servers. Only front end in web server DAL & BLL in app server. Database is in different server. All 3 servers are at different physical locations. How can we commuicate between these servers and our applicaton tiers? is there any option in IIS so that we can deploy only back end code in another server? what is the best approach to communicate between different application tiers when they are physically apart?
I want to create a generic web.config file for different web servers in VB.NET. So, depending on the server configuration requirements, applications can retrieve all values from that generic configuration file.
I need to use images in my ASP.NET MVC application that are not included in the application, but are saved in the file system of the server under the c/documents folder.
How can I get these images?
I have a AppHelper class that looks like this and will use to get the path
[Code]....
then in my view i will use this the get that image
I am trying to set up my web site on a stand alone server using Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6 which will access SQL server database (2008) on windows 2008 R2 server (also not in the domain) I am using form authentication and I have configured a custom identity account in IIS6. The local account is on both servers with same password and I have registered the account using aspnet_regiis.exe -ga The application pool in my iis6 has the custom local account set as the identity and my web.config file has the appropriate tags in the system.web element <identity impersonate="true" />
The problem is the local account does not seem to get passed to the sql server. Right now my iis settings are anonymous access (using the local acct vs isr) and no authentication specified under that - I did try Integrated and basic but it prompts for the username and password which I do not want. One article I read stated this: windows authentication does not support delegation (passing credentials from one server to another) and is limited to the one hop rule, only a primary token can be passed to a second server. windows authentication on iis (all versions) gives the thread a secondary(impersonation) token which can not be used to access any network resouce
If i wanted to communucate from two application server to one SqlServer,what are the drawbacks if i implemented a senario like this, at the same time wat are the advantages.
We have an ASP.NET application deployed on 2 Application servers with load balancer server. It is using INPROC state management. The ADO.NET connection pooling is enabled with 50 as minimum connections and 100 maximum connections.
In Load testing (using load testing tool) when the application reaches to 50 users no more users can connect (login) to application the TPS reaches zero. No errors are logged in application log related to application or database. The sessions are working fine.
I have a asp.net website with separate web server, Application server and database server. Now I need to have configure load balancing with two web and Application server. I don't have any idea about load balancing. how to proceed with load balancing.
