C# - Metabase Error When Trying To Use Visual Studios Profiler On .Net Site?
Jun 29, 2010
I'm trying to run the performance wizard on an ASP.Net website. However, whenever I try to start it I get the following error.
"The website contains unexpected information or you do not have permission to access the metabase. You must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer to access the IIS matabase. Therefore, you cannot create or open a local IIS website. If you have Read, Write, and Modify Permissions for the folder where the files are located, you can create a file system website that points to the folder in order to proceed"
I am an Administrator on my machine. Tried googling but came up with nothing. Anyone run it before and know how to deal with it?
My company has a server running Windows 2003, IIS 6.0, Web Deployment tool 1.1. I also have a development machine running Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. I can't get the Publish command to work (gives me "can't contact MSDEPLOYAGENTSERVICE" even though I know it's running), so a couple days ago I built a publish package, copied it over, and ran it, which worked.oday I thought WebDeploy was having problems (turned out the problem was between the keyboard and the chair) so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it from the WPI. Now when I try to run the package I get
Error: The metabase path 'Default Web Site/MyWebsite_deploy' is not supported.
Paths must be of the format '/lm/w3svc/<siteid>/ROOT/...'.
Error: The metabase key '/Default Web Site/ROOT/MyWebsite_deploy' could not be found.
Error: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
Error count: 1.
I have the virtual directory allready installed under Default Web Site.
I have recently come across a problem that hopefully someone may be able to help me with. I have checked the FAQs regarding Logins but am unable to find my problem. Basically I have been working on a simple web application using C# on VS2008. The application contains a private folder which contains web forms that can only be accessed after logging in as admin. When I run this application through Visual Studios it works fine and I am able to login and view the private database pages.
I inherited a .Net website project. Except for just 3 .aspx.cs files, pretty much every other file is a .aspx file.
I don't see any .csproj or any .sln files.
If I want to load up this website on my localhost, how would I go about doing it? Am I supposed to load up Visual Studios and "import" these *.aspx.cs and *.aspx file?
I already successfully set up the SQL Server database and updated the web.config with the appropriate credentials.
I am finding it near impossible to format a word document into visual studios, is it just me? For example i have a page with loads of bullet point on and im not sure how to show these without it looking rubbish and putting it into a table..
I recently found out that you can only do full text indexing with the advanced series of SQL Express and I managed to download and install it on my machine. My question is how do I integrate it with Visual studios 2010 so that I can do the full text indexing ?
When I installed SQL Express with advanced series 2008, it created an instance of SQL Server management studio so im wondering if I have to do it there and then move the database into my project or if I can do the full text indexing from inside my project
I have a gridview that shows when something is check out. I would like to only show results from todays date and forward. I have done this in Expression Web but when I tried to use the same code in Visual Studios it doesn't work.
Anybody else find the web page editor for Visual Studios (2008) to be horribly buggy? Almost every other time I try to debug a program, it sputters around for a minute or two, and then I get this error: Unable to Start Program [URL]. Element not found. Sometimes it happens two or three times in a row, and each time it leaves a hung browser I have to go and end the process for and then try again, so it can get up to 10 minutes at times just to get the damn debugger going. Really frustrating, especially when it's at the end of the day and I'm trying to finish things up.
I am having a simple web site created using VS.NET 2003 using .NET Framework 1.1 The web site project builds properply. When I hit F5 (to debug) it displays "Error while trying to run project" message. I am able to debug console and windows service applications. Recently I installed VS.NET 2010 (.NET Framework 4.0). I think prior to this it was working fin. ENV: Windows XP and IIS 5.1
I am getting the following error when I try to establish ftp remote connection using the 'copy web site' feature on visual studio 2005.
unable to open the web 'ftp://209.*.*.*/httpdocs'. The computer is disconnected from the network.
Why can't I connect to the remote site on visual studio 2005? I can do the same thing on Dreamweaver with no problem. I can ping the IP successfully. I can open the ftp URL on a web browser with no problem.
I Have a problem here with Visual Web devoloper 2010 , When I click the "Asp.net Configuration" , the browser doesn't open the Web Site Administration Tool but the icon does appear in the notification area , on right clicking the icon it opens up the Web Site Administration Tool in the browser and displays "An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again."
On the other hand I don't have any issues using "Asp.net Configuration" with Visual Web Devoloper 2008
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?
i have an asp.net website which contains a link to a legacy site written in classic asp which has vb 6 classes (dll) in the back ground also.here is what i am trying to achieve:-i want to browse to the asp.net website using IE7,then when the link is clicked then enters the classic asp site i want to start debugging the classic asp and step through it.(also to make things worse, once a the vb6 class is instanciated, and a call make to its method i want to debug the method in the vb 6 code)My system :- XP Pro, IIS 5, Visual Studio 2005 (asp.net project ), Visual interdev 6 (classic asp project) Visual Basic 6 (vb 6 classes compiled into dll)i have been trying everything with no joy, there is lots on the net but nothing seems to have worked.i have the back office components installed so asp debugging is possible, i have configured the asp website s debugging is turned on.if i add a breakpoint to the classic asp site and hit the start button in visual interdev i can step through it fine.My problem is that if i attach interdev to a process (iexplorer.exe or dll.host) then the breakpoints are not hit. if anyone can help me with this it would be great.ont top of that, if anyone can explain to me how to also debug the vb6 dll code in visual basic 6 when it is called from the classic asp site that would be great!
I'm having a site done in ASP.NET and part of the quote is deployment. It's only one page at the moment. Can I configure VWD to download my app to my PC in VWD?
It will also have a Telerik RadGrid that VWD doen't support, will I still get the page wih some kind of placeholer?
I'm having an issue that has made me loose too many hours already. My site works fine in VS2008 with SQL Express 2008. However, when I try to deploy the site following these steps:
1. Create a new site IIS 7.0 2. Copy all the files from my code folder to IIS 7.0, (I was planning to delete the code latter) 3. Browse to my Index.aspx
The error message I receive is Cannot open database "AnimalSafe" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNetwork Service'. I've already changed the application pool to use Network Service to authenticate and have made sure that SQL is running under this account.
I am trying to use aspnet_compiler via the command line to build and publish a web application that is running on the IIS7 Default Web Site. I am struggling with finding the correct syntax of the -m argument for specifying the IIS metabase path.
All the documentation refers to IIS6 metabase paths, which are of the format "LM/W3SVC/1/Root". I came across this information, which indicates the IIS7 metabase path should look like "MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST/Default Web Site."
The actual command then looks like this:
aspnet_compiler -nologo -m "MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST/Default Web Site/" \productionwebserverinetpubwebsitefolder
This, however, results in the following error: error 1002: 'MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST/Default Web Site/' is not a well formed IIS metabase path.
My default website is called "Default Web Site". I have also explored using the syntax of specifying the virtual path and physical path instead of the metabase path, for example:
aspnet_compiler -nologo -v / -p ".."
(this command file exists in a sub-folder of the website project folder)
This results in the following error: error ASPCONFIG: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.
I am trying to profile the number of "Anonymous Requests" for an ASP.NET web application using perfmon. When I select this key, I have to pick a process of the form _LM_W3SVC_#_ROOT. How do I map the IIS metabase path back to the web application?
