I use it in a webservice, i start it in a new thread and it return exit code 1 (error, i'm trying to do a video convertion with ffmpeg library), i impersonate ASP.NET to use a local account with permissions to read and write files, when i run it in my machine running or debugging it works but know thta the web service is running in IIS doest'n.
First of all, I'm not a pro on IIS configuration topic.With that being said, I got a website written in VB.NET 3.5 Web Forms. I have a small web service, ASMX, running as a part of this website. One page on the website calls the web service with AJAX (jQuery $.ajax function, post). The server is running Windows 2003 and IIS 6.0. The website and the web service are sharing the same Application Pool.
I need to essentially make a command line tool available via a web interface. This tool would need to be run ON the web server, not the client machine. e.g.: someCommand.exe -aSwitch param1 param2 The tool will be in a windows integrated auth web app on an intranet. I have not had to do anything like this before, so I want to find out how others handle this, what is the recommended best practice? a quick google first showed someone using system.diagnostic.process... so to start playing I did something like this, just to see if it works, it does:
[Code]....
I won't be running cmd.exe, that's just to test with. The actual command line tool I will be using is not on my dev machince right now. . is using system.diagnostics.process, processStartInfo, and start method acceptable? my goals:
1. use recommended best practices, especially with regard to security 2. I'd like to start the command, and use ajax to display the commands output as it runs, and of course I need to know if it was successfull or not.
I have a web form used for importing data from a CSV file. It contains a result panel and a result label, which either show a success message or an error message after the import process. Let me say here I know the page should not be doing the import, but this is legacy code and the client expects only small changes.
My problem is that the result message (label) retains it's previous content and visibility during the next import process, because clearing it during Page_Load or at the beginning of the import method only has effect when the import method is complete and thus the postback is complete.
At the moment, the only solution I can see is to move the import code into a separate class (as it should be), call the import method asynchronously, clear the result message, and thne set then result message when the complete or error callback from the import process is called.
In fact, I DO NOT want to ask a question but to share one solution to this. One cause of this problem is you did not register your sql express on iis.I installed .net 3.5 sp1, then ran aspnet_iis -i, then installed sql express 2005 advanced. Yes, here came the notorious alert. So, I ran aspnet_regiis again and everything is OK.Run aspnet_regiis before you have installed sql express.
There is a Web Service installed on Amazon Server. Exposed WebMethod should start an executable. But, it seems that process (executable) started by WebMethod has not permissions to finish its job. If a WebMethod is called locally (using IE on Amazon VM) I can trace some events into log file placed on the path: C:\LogFiles. But, if it is called from remote machine, there is no even log files. Locally, on my machine all works fine.The question: is there any way or settings in IIS7 to allow to my WebService to create process that can do everything I want to do? In web.config file I added a line:
<identity impersonate="true" userName="USERNAME" password="password"/> (userName and password are, of course, written correctly in the file).
Also, I tried to use impersonization as it is explained here, but there is no result. My process can't do its job, it cannot even trace actions into log file. Locally, on my machine, everything works fine. how to change settings or whatever into IIS7?
EDIT: In addition to the main question: my WebService is not able even to create log files on the path: C:\LogFiles - although it is able if it started locally, but remotely there is no simple log file that contains some string. How to allow it to create simple text files?
Is there any way we can process payment through web service. For example I have a two websites, from first web site can I use second websites web service to process order.
I am seeking your expertise in ASP.Net with regards to multi-thread support of WebService in a scenario , that is If a WebService-Client is making simultaneous calls from the same process, the requests will be serialized at the WebServices so that only one-call will execute at any one time , on the contrary, if those calls are sent from different WebService-Clients ( Instances/Processes) , they are processed in-parallel by WebServices.
Have you ever experienced the same with ASP.Net, and what configurations/Settings should be followed, in order for a WebServices to concurrently process simultaneous calls form a single WebClient , when deploying a large number of Web-Clients' instances/processes is impractical in a project-context.
I have to retrieve the data from the web service and this data should be kept in process's memory and use it where needed.Do not like to call web service every time.Is there any method to do this?
Wondering if there is a performance difference between letting a long running process hang in asp.net vs running the process via a windows service. I have done this once before and the windows service was much quicker and didnt bog down my system, whereas the asp.net request seemed to wreak havoc.
If I watch the processes tab in Task Manager on the web server I see "cmd.exe" under the context of 'administrator' but it just hangs. For test purposes c:SendV80s.bat: copy c: oot.ini c:zzz.txt
If I logon onto the webserver's console and execute SendV80s.bat it works and exits without issue. But when I execute the same batch file via the Submit button it gets stuck executing in Task Manager/Process. I believe this has something to do with the fact that cmd is not running in a full environment/desktop context. I just noticed this on the actual console of the webserver (not in my RDP console but console 0 instead)
A pop-up box stating: CMD.exe Application error The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click OK to terminate the application. And when I click on the OK button my ASPX page's WaitForExit is satisfied and the continues processing normally.
I know that similar questions have been asked all over the place, but I'm having trouble finding one that relates directly to what I'm after.
I have a website where a user uploads a data file, then that file is transformed and imported into SQL. The file could be up to 50mb in size, and some times this process can take 30 minutes or sometimes even longer.
I realise I need to palm off the actual work to another process, and poll that process on the web page. I'm wondering what the best approach would be though? Being a web developer by trade, I'm finding all this new Windows Service stuff a bit confusing, and I just wanted somewhere to start.
So:
Can I do / should I being doing this with a windows service? if so, how?
Should I use WCF? If this runs under IIS, will I have problems with aspnet_wp.exe recycling and timing out my process?
clarifications
The data is imported into sql, there's no file distribution taking place.
If there is a failure, it absolutely MUST be reported to the user. The web page will poll every, lets say, 5 seconds, from the time the async task begins, to get the 'status' of the import. Once it's finished another response will tell the page to stop polling for status updates.
queries on final decision
ok, so as I thought, it seems that a windows service is the best idea. So as to HOW to get it to work, it seems the 'put the file there and wait for the service to pick it up' idea is the generally accepted way, is there a way I can start a process run by the service, without it having to constantly be checking a database table / folder? As I said earlier, I don't have any experience with Windows Services - I wondered if I put a public method in the service, can I call it somehow?
I keep receiving an exception with the message "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password". Im absolutelly sure that i'm submiting my correct username/pwd
I've developed a popup email .aspx used on our intranet based web app that is auto generated with .pdf's attached. I'm developing with VS 2008 ASP.Net 3.5 C# and System.Net.Mail.MailMessage. I can create and send the email with no issues. The problem is with any attempt to open or delete the attachments I get the above error. The .pdf's a copied with the following code:
FileStream fsr = new FileStream(inFilename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read); BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader(fsr); byte[] bytes = new byte[fsr.Length]; reader.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length); FileStream fsw = new FileStream(outFileName, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Write); BinaryWriter writer = new BinaryWriter(fsw); writer.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length); // clean up writer.Flush(); writer.Close(); writer = null; fsw.Close(); fsw.Dispose(); fsw = null; reader.Close(); reader = null; fsr.Close(); fsr.Dispose(); fsr = null; Later after sending the email I: mailMessage.Dispose(); mailMessage = null; foreach (string fileName in attachments) { if (File.Exists(fileName)) File.Delete(fileName); }
The error occurs at: the File.Delete(fileName);
how I can delete or reopen these files after sending the email?
I have a .NET infra code running both within the IIS worker process and within a desktop client app. How can the .NET code determine whether it is running within an IIS worker process?
I know that I could check the name of the process (w3wp.exe, for instance), but I would like a more robust approach. I wish to make a side note. This is not a production need. I need this information to enable certain scenarios useful during the development and testing phase. Specifically to ease the testing of secure vs non secure configurations.
When I hit the run button (in my Default.aspx), a process starts (this process contacts a webservice to get some files, etc). How do I: Ensure that only a single process is running at a time (i.e. if I refresh the browser, I don't want to start the process a second time)Track progress - there are 4 points of the process (at 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) that I want to track, and when each part completes, I want to update the progress bar. I have a status object for the running process, but the question is how to update the progress bar automatically? Do I need to use threads to achieve the above two?
My code is that I want to create a log file and log it upon a new user browsing the site. However, what i did was I put in a 6 second delay and then used another browser to access the page. And it threw an Exception saying it is being used by another process which is true. So how come I set it so that, if IT is being used by another process, WAIT and retry every 500 milliseconds until it becomes free/available?
here's the code:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {if (!IsPostBack) // if this is the first time page loads, set k to 1 { lognewuser(); }}
I am having the text file which is used to track all the ip address which is available in the network and replace the content from"Reply from 172.29.116.3: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=255" to 172.29.116.3.
For this task i am having 2 functions 1.runCMD() Function is used to create a file which ping all the ip address between 3 to 254 ("Reply from 172.29.116.3: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=255").
2.Another function textFileReplace() which is used to replace the text from "Reply from 172.29.116.3: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=255" to 172.29.116.3.
This process will continue every 30 minutes..
But i am having the error while accessing the function textFileReplace() as The process cannot access the file 'C:inetpub' because it is being used by another process.
I have a stored procedure which fetches data after joining 8-9 tables and inserts that into a temp table. It was running fine till now, but now when the amount of data fetched have exceeded 20000, the SP is breaking. I have debugged the sp and found that this main query is failing after returning arround 15000-16000 records.
The error message says Transaction (Process ID) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction. I know what is deadlock, but when i checked with SP_LOCK stored proc i only found that my process is running on database only. So how is this getting deadlocked when there are no other processes running simultaneously on server.
When I delete all files from the directory path. then it will give me this error The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. How to solve this?
I am getting binary data from a SQL Server database field and am creating a document locally in a directory my application has permissions. However I am still getting the error specified in the title. I have tried numerous suggestions posted on the web including those suggested in previous posts on Stackoverflow. I have also used ProcessExplorer > Find Handle to locate the lock and it returns nothing as if the file is not locked.
I am using the code below to save the file to the file system and I then try to copy this file to a new location later in the application process within another method. It is this copy method that takes the path of the newly created file that throws the exception.
The file itself is created with its content and i can open it through Windows Explorer without any problems.
Am I missing something completely obvious? Am I creating the file correctly from the database?
// Get file from DB FileStream fs = new FileStream( "C:myTempDirectorymyFile.doc", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write); BinaryWriter br = new BinaryWriter(fs); br.Write("BinaryDataFromDB"); fs.Flush(); fs.Close(); fs.Dispose(); // Copy file File.Copy(sourceFileName, destinationFilename, true);
