Moving ASP Site To New Host?

Jul 14, 2010

Not sure if this is the right forum area for this question, so feel free to move it where it needs to be.I have a client that has asked to move an existing ASP-based website to a new web host. I've done host transfers before, but never an ASP-driven one.

So my questions are:
- Is there a way I can download the whole site as it exists and "test" it on my local machine somehow? (without having to install IIS preferebaly, it might already be installed to be honest)

- I'm sure the website uses a database back-end as it uses a CMS. What issues will I run into with regards to getting an identical database created on the new web host?Thanks all. I'm not feeling good about this transfer for some reason, mainly because I'm not that fluent with ASP, so if something doesn't transfer smoothly, I'm scared I may not be able to "fix" it in a timely manner.

Web Host Updates Whole Site Instead Of Only The UpdatePanel?

Jan 18, 2010

I'm running this asp.net site with an AJAX updatePanel on my local machine, and everything works just fine, since it's where I developed it. Now, a few days ago, I uploaded the files to my web-host and assigned every single DataBase, and there is no error messages, even though it's still set to debug mode. There is a problem though, whenever I click an element which triggers my asp.net AJAX updatePanel to update, the whole site is updated(which it should not, only the Panel), and my jQuery's (document).ready is called every time as well.

IIS6 To Host Same Site To Different Ports?

Oct 26, 2011

IIS6 VS2008 .... I am trying to make a site that some folders will run on different ports of IIS but with the same site name.

So p.e. i would like mysite.com and mysite.com/hello to opetate on port 83 and mysite/otherport to operate(with any subfolders) on port 84.

Is this possible?I want to have 2 different membership databases on the same site so i'm thinkg either host a complete different site inside mysite/otherport or have multiple web.configs on the inner folders.The site is actually redirected to a server IIS so p.e. the site mysite.com is actually redirected to myserver.myiis.com:83

Routing Not Firing When Site Is Published To Remote Host?

Feb 5, 2010

I have a website that was originally written in webforms to which I have added MVC functionality. When debugging locally it works fine, however, once published and uploaded to my host the routes do not work and return a 404. I am pretty sure that I have uploaded all the correct files. Would just appear that routing is not working.

(the site will still serve normal aspx pages fine)

I think the problem may be related to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1772975/mixing-asp-net-mvc-into-asp-net-webforms

But I cant see from that thread what the solution was. It looks like it might be something to do with the app_pool mode - but I am running in integrated mode, which is right AFAIK

UPDATE 2

So I think I have routing working. I basically created a new MVC app and went through theweb config file line by line and made sure I have everything I needed. Funnily, none of the tutorials online mention the correct additions you need to make. I have have another issue mind you... When i load my mvc page I am greeted with the message: The SessionStateTempDataProvider requires SessionState to be enabled.

I've added a line to web.config to enable sessions (wasn't aware they were off) and it still doesnt work.

UPDATE I created a new asp.net MVC project and ended up going through web.config line by line and ensuring that everything that related to MVC was included in my hybrid app. Suffice to say that none of the guides mention all the settings that are required (i was using the book professional asp.net mvc 1.0). I then included the global.asax file which is not published and set up a route so that a request for / was not being caught by MVC. I also had to enable sessions in web.config.

Configuration :: Create New Application Pool And Assign It To Site Subfolder On Remote Host

Feb 28, 2011

I have a web site running on IIS7 on a remote server. I would like to do the following: Create a new subfolder under the root virtual directory. Create a new app pool. Add this new app pool to the new subfolder Normally, I would do this manually in IIS by first creating the app pool, and then right-clicking the sub folder an choose "add application", but I need to do this programmatically in C#. I've managed to make the above points 1 and 2 work, but I can't find the way to adding the application to the sub folder. This is the code I have used so far for 1 and 2:

[Code]....

So, I need to add "MyAppPool" to the "NytSite" folder. Is this even the correct way to do this?

Security :: VS2008 Development Server (local Host) & Hosted IIS7 Site Different Configuration - How To Test Application

Mar 19, 2010

How can I test an application that I am publishing to a remote provider's IIS7 hosted site, with the VS2008 development server that is built in with VS2008 on an XP Machine?

My membership/roles work perfectly up on the remote host. On ths hosted IIS7 site when I try to access a secure directory it redirects to login, and I am able to login, however when I launch (debug - F5) from VS2008, it will provide that folder/resource, no questions asked. Same build, config, etc... nothing has changed.

I am running XP, and local IIS version installed is 5.1.

My guess is what is happening is that the new format required in the web.config is configured properly for IIS7 deployment, which is why it works remotely, but when running locally through VS2008/XP it is running with an older version on IIS and does not recoginize the new tags.

How To Host Site With ASPNETDB.MDF Database From Development Server To Production Server ?

Jan 21, 2011

I 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"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


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.

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


My hosting provider connection string ..

<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=69.16.253.19;Initial Catalog=usa_data;Persist Security Info=True;User Id=user;Password=pass" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>


My hosting provider gave me the connection string to connect to the SQL Server 2005 but it doesn't work...

I don't understand why my site was running fine using the production SQL Server 2005 in my local PC when I include ASPNETDB.MDF file in App_Data in my local pc only ..if I remove file ASPNETDB.MDF from App_Data of my local pc ... the site stops working ...

Can anybody tell em how to fix this ... !! I am very tensed since last 3-4 days

Most Efficient Way To Update A MySQL Database On A Linux Host With That Of .Net Form On Windows Host?

Mar 17, 2010

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.

MVC :: HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host Not Correct When Using Host Headers In IIS 7.5

Feb 24, 2011

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.

Visual Studio :: Web Site / Web Application Templates Seem Changed - Default.aspx Only With Site.master

Oct 21, 2010

Using Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. I was used to creating a web app anytime and I would get a default page for starters and be happy. But today I find that when I pick either the ASP.NET Web Site or ASP.NET Web Application templates I get site.master and a bunch of site admin files that I don't want. Alternately when I select the empty versions of those templates, I get almost nothing at all. An almost empty web.config page and no Default.aspx page. There is nothing magical about having a default.aspx page in place, but it is an indicator of a change when I can only get a virtually completely empty website or a website with a bunch of bells and whistles I don't want.

Also, for some reason, when I create a new app or website as just noted, in the Solution Explorer I get aspx.designer.cs files showing as well as web.config files for both debug and release. Somehow some settings and templates must have changed, or am I missing something here? How can I get my settings/templates to go back to the way they were?

Website - Webforms Physical Site Structure With Dynamic Site Map

Feb 2, 2010

I am having a little difficulty trying to wrap my head around site structures. I have quite a large asp.net site, for which: Admins can see a user list, Each user can have many accounts, and for each account can have many items. I can picture this as a breadcrumb trail of editing a particular item. User List > Mr Bob > Accounts > BOB77 > Items > Item32 > Edit

User List = All the users Mr Bob = A user the administrator has selected from the User List Accounts = A list of the user's accounts 12BOB = The administrator has selected the account named 12BOB Items = A list of the items an account contains Item32 = The item that the administrator selected Edit = The action that the administrator wants to do. I can picture how this would look like if it was using ASP.NET MVC with the URL, but I am unsure how to map this out using Webforms, and in the physical filesystem.

This is what I have thought up about how I am guessing the physical structure would look like. Will this have to use session variables to achieve what I am trying to do?

/Users/User/Edit.aspx <- for editing a user
/Users/User/View.aspx <- for viewing a user
/Users/User/Accounts/Default.aspx <- for viewing all accounts
/Users/User/Accounts/Account/View.aspx <- for viewing an account
/Users/User/Accounts/Account/Edit.aspx <- for editing an account
/Users/User/Accounts/Account/Items/Default.aspx <- for viewing all items in an account
/Users/User/Accounts/Account/Items/Item/Edit.aspx <- for editing an item

Where can I read more about this kind of setup in a web application? Or, can someone point me in the direction of an available project that has this kind of layout?

State Management :: Passing Variables From One Site To Secure Site?

Jul 28, 2010

I have 2 sites, one the main product site the other a secure site featuring the basket and checkout processes.

When a user clicks "add item to basket" I am creating a basket in a database and then adding the items to the basket. The theory was then to store the id from the database for the basket (the basketid) in a cookie, redirect the user to secure site, use the basket id from the cookie and display the contents in the basket.

However I am having trouble getting the secure site to use the same cookie. When I redirect the users to the secure site, the basket appears empty. I need to go back to the main site and then back to secure before the cookie appears.

Here is the code for the cookie

[Code]....

And then on the secure site this is how it gets the basket ID from the cookie

[Code]....

But like I say it's having problems. I've tried replacing the cookies with session variables as well but it didn't work.

I have recently been working on my first ever SQL/ASP.net project and Have been building the database/web pages on my laptop, what I am wanting to do now is copy the database over onto a PC that is currently being used as a server....

On my laptop I am using SQL Server Express 2008 R2, and im guessing the first stage is to install this on the server PC.

I ahve tried looking at a few articles/posts on the net and it all seems a little confusing.
