SQL Server :: Accessing Database From Website In Production Server?
Dec 10, 2010
I built an ASP.NET 4.0 Web Site. It works perfectly on my development computer. However, when I deploy the web site to theProduction Server, which is a Win2003 Small Business with Sql Server 2000, the site can't connect to the database.
These are the different tests I've made:
I tried using Integrated Windows authentication and this connection string: Data Source=myServerAddress;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;Integratedsecurity=true; and the error I got was that NT Authority/Network Service couldn't open the database. So I added that account to my database users list and gave it the appropiate permissions. Nothing.I tried using Sql Server authentication, so I created a new database user with a password and changed my connection string toData Source=myServerAddress;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;. Nothing. I still got the same NT Authority user message.I deleted the used I created in step 2 and used the same connection string, to see if this time I got an error saying something about my user, and indeed it happened. I got an exception saying that user myUsername couldn't log on. I then created the user again, ang got the NT Authority user message one more time.I created a console application that used the same connection string from steps 2 and 3, and it connected to the database witouth any problem, which made me think that my problem's got something to do with my Web.config.I tried enabling impersonation on my Web.config, and thos time I got the same error message, only referring to the user I logged in to Windows, instead of NT Authority/Network service. What else could I check? My Web.config is this in case it helps (I havn't really put anything into it other than what VS puts):
I'm working on an external web site (in DMZ) that needs to get data from our internal production database.
All of the designs that I have come up with are rejected because the network department will not allow a connection of any sort (WCF, Oracle, etc.) to come inside from the DMZ.
The suggestions that have come from the networking side generally fall under two categories -
1) Export the required data to a server in the DMZ and export modified/inserted records eventually somehow, or
2) Poll from inside, continually asking a service in the DMZ whether it has any requests that need serviced.
I'm averse to suggestion 1 because I don't like the idea of a database sitting in the DMZ. Option 2 seems like a ridiculous amount of extra complication for the nature of what's being done.
Are these the only legitimate solutions? Is there an obvious solution I'm missing? Is the "No connections in from DMZ" decree practical?
Edit: One line I'm constantly hearing is that "no large company allows a web site to connect inside to get live production data. That's why they send confirmation emails". Is that really how it works?
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
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.
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
I know its better to use stored procedures than the asp.net sqldatasource control. But on an app like say amazon and ebay what is the best way to connect to a database (best practices) that multiple users will use: sqldatasourcecontrol,disconnected classes,or connected classes?(Programmatically or not}
I am developing web application using asp.net. Here i need to access two databases in which one is present on other server. I am able to connect to database present in same server but not with database present in other server.
I am using MS-access. I dont know the changes to be done and syntax for database connection.
Problem: I need to move a local development database to the production server without any of the test data.
I am running SQL Server Express 2008 and SQL Server Management Studio 2008.
To create my ASP.NET Membership 2.0 system I created the DB initialy and ran aspnet_regsql.exe
I then added my own tables manually to store additional information.
I adjusted the web.config file with an application name.
When I ran a sript the application ID name was created and populated in the aspnet_Applications table. My script created a new member created and added to the admin role. Ok so everything go so far.
Now I want to move the local DB to the server. I know the connection string and can change this in the web.config.
My hosting company doesn't provide restore, so I don't think I can backup and restore
Q 1. What would be the best way to move the database across. Bearing in mind I need to clean the database out of test data.
Would it be just generate an SQL Script for the database and run it as a query on the server? And if this is the best way then do I need to set the permissions for the ASPNET user?
Q 2. What is the best way to clear out the data in the local database.?
I've got an MVC 2 application running on Server 2008 R2, IIS 7.5. The application runs without issues. I added ELMAH to trap unhandled errors, write them to a database and send emails. The ELMAH functionality works without issues on my development machine (XP). However, that same functionality does not work on the server. ELMAH fails silently so I'm at a loss to know why things are not working
I create a dynamic dropdownlist to select several values, in developer server it's everything ok but in production server, when the postback happens lost the selected value.
how to transfer my data from devlopment server to production server ,i have already records exist in my database if i go for script then how can i transfor record in script i can transfor only table ,procedure and views.I am using SqlServer 2005.
I am working on the migration of the server. Our new server is Windows server 2008 with IIS7.0 I have a great difficulty in browsing the pages hosted in virtual directories. I have followed the proper steps of creating a virtual directories and converting them into applications. But when i try to browsing the pages of the virtual directory, i get the 404 error. Note: The .Net Framework 4.0 is installed on the server and the web applications which i am trying to configure in the virtual directories are developed in Visual Studio 3.0. Even the http://localhost also don't work.
I've never had this problem before, I'm at a total loss.
I have a SQL Server 2008 database with ASP.NET Forms Authentication, profiles and roles created and is functional on the development workstation. I can login using the created users without problem.
I back up the database on the development computer and restore it on the production server. I xcopy the DLLs and ASP.NET files to the server. I make the necessary changes in the web.config, changing the SQL connection strings to point to the production server database and upload it.
I've made sure to generate a machine key and it is the same on both the development web.config and the production web.config.
And yet, when I try to login on the production server, the same user that I'm able to login successfully with on the development computer, fails on the production server.
There is other content in the database, the schema generated by FluentNHibernate. This content is able to be queried successfully on both development and production servers.
I have create a report in sql server 2005 & want to deploy on production server, in local system it deployed & works well. also if that report deploy at local system successfuly than how i see report in intranet.
I am wondering the best way to change my connection string based upon which server I am accessing.
Essentially, all of the development is done on our local machines - once we think it is working, we upload it to our development server. In these 2 instances, I want my application to go off of our "dev" connection string for the SQL database in the web.config.
However, once it is published to our production server (for an internal application), I would like the connection string to point to our live db.
I am using the N-Tier model by Imar Spaanjaars - and have it setup like he suggests - In my DAL I have a class called AppConfiguration -
In this class I have a public readonly property ConnectionString() which returns the connection string in the web.config.
This is in an individual class library. What I would like to do is something similar to:
If server is localhost OR devstring return devString else return productionstring
I m getting the following error when i upload my site to Production Server using Database in App_Data ASPNETDB.MDF
Server Error in '/' Application. Runtime Error Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current ustom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed [code]...
To give some background details, I have created a website for a friend that has a few pages that require a database in the background. I've used Visual Studio templates for most of it, so there's the standard ASPNETDB.MDF file that's created for users and groups, a login page and a page to view and manage those users etc etc. The login page uses the standard controls for logging in, retrieving lost passwords and so on. Being standard controls, by default they get the connection string from the web.config file. Upon attempting to upload the site to my host (1and1.co.uk in case anyone else has any dealings with them) I discovered that storing the connectionstring doesn't work. 1and1 support say that the sql databases can only be accessed using scripts like this (this is an example of theirs):
<html> <title>Queries from the MS-SQL database with ASP</title> <body bgcolor="FFFFFF"> <h2>Query from table <b>products</b> with ASP</h2> <% Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") conn.open "PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;DATA SOURCE=mssqxxx.1and1.com;UID=dboxxxxxxxxx;PWD=xxxxxxxx;DATABASE=dbxxxxxxxxx" 'This code block will create a recordset Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") SQL = "select * from products" rs.open SQL, conn 'will iterate to display the records got from the database While Not rs.EOF response.write(rs("id") & " " & rs("price")) rs.MoveNext Wend 'closes the connection rs.close conn.close Set rs = Nothing Set conn = Nothing %> </body> </html>
So my question, is it possible to get the standard asp.net controls to access a database through a script like this?
I wish to acces my database using MSSMS at the same time that I am running my web application. When I tried to access my database with MSSMS I get the following error:Failed to retrieve data for this request (Microsoft.SqlServer. Management.SDk.Sfc)Additional Information:Unable to open the physical file "C:inetpubwwwrootmyappApp_Dataaspnetdb.mdf".Operationg system error 32: "32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process)". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error:5120).What can I do to being able to view my database with MSSMS at the same time?
I am attempting to write my very first ASP.NET application, it will simply display the contents of an SQL server database table in a Gridview. This is just a first step, my eventual intention is rewrite a set of VB6 applications I wrote some years ago. But I need to walk before I can run.
I have already created an SQL Server database containing all the tables used by the VB6 applications.
How do I link this database to my ASP.NET application. Previously (on another computer) I have simply opened "My Computer" and then navigated to the .mdf file (e.g. northwnd.mdf) and then dragged and dropped it into App_Data in Visual Studio. However when I try that on my own machine, with my own data, I get an "Access Denied" message.
How can I not have access to my own data on my own computer? What am doing wrong?
I am running Visual Studio 2008 on a Windows 7 Ultimate machine, with SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition (or which ever one installs with VS 2008).
I have a site that is running on a Windows Server 2008 machine with IIS 7.0, when I try to open it with Visual Web Developer 2010, it says the following:
error: unable to open site: ... The Web server does not appear to have FrontPage Server Extensions installed.
Looking on the server Frontpage Extensions 2002 are installed, so what could be wrong?
The thing is, I used to be able to open the project and work on it, etc...
Open Website -> Remote Site -> Enter remote site name -> tries to open & error above!
I have problem accessing an SQL server DB on a remote server.Actually, I had no problem with creating a connection string to it using the Visual Web Deveoper 2005 Express Edition GUI, however, I have problem connecting to it through the code.This is the connection string created by the GUI, and connection test on the connection wizzard GUI just works fine.
I am working on my first web site using ASP.net. In the past I was working with ADO to build Windows Forms applications.To the point...I want to know how to link my SQL db with the db that is inside in the ASP Web Site project. If I change the database using SQL Management Studio the data will be updated until I remove the .mdf of the project and add again the .mdf from my folder of SQL. I need to be able to update the database outside (Via the WebSite) and inside using SQL Server.
I have a local database which is updated regularly. Now I need a good way to reflect the local database changes into the remote sql server. Both the server have same database structure.
All the above pocess should work automatically from the local database server because I need to update the remote one so that the website visitor can get the updated results in the morning.I need a detailed description/ procedure to accomplish the work.
