I have made changes to my global.asax file so i want to recycle my web application to make the changes work. How to safely recycle my asp.net web application in production server?

I have deployed simple application on production server it just update sql server table via update query.
The problem is That when I run that app on development machine it updates table on remote server but after deploying it on production server and accesing the url on production server/and development machine my code doesn't execute and thus it don't update table.
I have created virtual direcotry and configured app with specific application pool which is custom based Asp.net account.
I am rather new to asp.net but I have built a couple of apps that do not require users to login. am having some problems moving my secure .net application from my laptop to a production server, however, and I am hoping someone can help me. On my laptop my application's user authentication functions as it should, but when I move my application to a webserver I get an assortment of errors. Forgive me if these questions are a little basic. My first question is this. In a production environment do I move the ASPNETDB.MDF file in the App_Data folder to my SQL server? Is it OK to rename it to something more descriptive?
View 4 RepliesSometimes I would like to be able to update during day time my ASP .Net application. I noticed that quite often updating DAL's (.xsd files) that are in used will block my application (and users). The only way, I found to recover, is to restart IIS but my users do not like it.
Is there some more clean way to update an online server without disrupting the users ?
Could I identified the DAL which are in used and the users using them, so that I could somehow disconnect only these users (My application uses Windows authentication).
I have an MVC web application, the urls like following in my views folder:
<img src="../../Images/Delete.png"/>
are working on my localhost, but when I deployed the application on production server, they stopped working and when I use single ".." instead of double "../.." , they start working on production server.
My application is running in a shared hosting environment. I do have a dedicated App Pool for my app. I've been doing some testing with 1st visits and precompile performance and have been tracking when my application starts up and shuts down.
In my Global.asax I have some logging code in Application_Start and Application_End. I can see from my logs generally when the application is idle and shuts down, then someone visits and it starts back up.
But, I also see cases where a shutdown is logged and then followed by another shutdown about 13 minutes later; without a startup in the middle.
I also see instances where there are two Startups in a row. I'm guessing these might be a recycle, but why wouldn't there be a shutdown log entry?
What I'd really like to know if there is a better way to track when my application starts, when it shuts down and if it is shutdown due to an idle pool, or from a recycle. I don't have access to the Windows Event Log so I need to do this from my app if possible.
I have a Silverlight application using a WCF service hosted in IIS. I make use of some aspects of ASP.NET. I have the following folder structure for my application:
inetput
wwwroot
myapp
reports
{user-guid-folders}
report1.pdf
report2.pdf
App_Data (folder)
bin (folder)
Client_Bin (folder)
(various .aspx files, plus web.config, etc.)
The application dynamically generates reports and puts them in a folder with a GUID for the name which is unique to the user. This all works fine. However, when the user logs out I was cleaning up and deleting the PDF files in their folder, then deleting their GUID folder.
Deleting the files works fine, but if I delete the folder, the application recycles (which then removes all other users' sessions - I get a Session_OnEnd event for every user's session, and an Application_OnEnd event. The next user request causes the whole application to restart. So, while I can fix this by not deleting the GUID folder (which my application itself created), what is the reason for this? Is there any way I can prevent this from happening?
I have a number of ASP.NET (4.0) web applications that appear to leak (a small amount) of memory during each request. It is such a small amount, that for most use-cases, it will not grow to become a problem for weeks or even months at a time. I generally try to be good with closing any connections managed by the application, avoiding state-variables (or instance variables for my singleton), etc. My question is this - is this normal behavior for ASP.NET applications? I had turned off the default (IIS 7) behavior of recycling the app pool after 20 minutes of being idle. I do this since the application takes a few minutes to build its internal cache, and I want to avoid negatively impacting the user experience (and having them wait for the application to start when they issue the request).
View 1 RepliesI'd like to describe strange issue I've noticed while analyzing my asp.net application in production and ask for some advice or opinion on the following matter.Application usually runs with some 80-90 MB of memory footprint. This seems stable since no memory leaks have been detected so far - no slight increase in memory usage over time. Yet, problem occurs when application pool recycles (I'm using shared hosting and judging by logs it occurs either when app is idle for 20 mins or every ~30 hours - something like that). The issue is that used memory almost doubles for some period on recycle - it goes to some 160-170 MBs without any explanation. This is confusing, since it is common claim that recycling should purge the memory and all other resources - at least I get it that way. System holds this amount of memory for some 7-8 hours and then memory usage drops to it's usual level of 90-100 MB, again, with no apparent reason (at least not know to me).
View 1 Repliesmy web applications app pool configuration is
PeriodicRestartMemory : 512000
PeriodicRestartPrivateMemory : 196608
although the virtual memory limit is higher than private memory, app pool is recycled with virtual memory limits exceeded errors in the event log (instead of private memory).
what is the reason for this? how could it exceed virtual memory limits before exceeding private memory limits? it seems that systems other allocations in virtual memory cause limits exceeded before applications private allocations exceed the limits, but what are those allocations of the system? or what is the root cause of this.
We're currently deploying code to live pretty reguarly at the moment, but the down side is destroying user session data.
Is there a way of being able to recycle IIS without loosing session data, or is persisiting session state in SQL server or alike the only way?
My WCF Service isnt restarting after the app pool recycles. I have no control over how often the pool is recycled (shared hosting) .How do I get the wcf service to restart on pool-recycle ?
View 1 RepliesI have a CentOS 5.x server running Mono 2.8.1 and mod_mono 2.8 with apache2.
Every time I deploy a site from visual studio 2010 to my server by ftp, and navigate to the site, I get a 404 not found error page.
Sites in other subdomains (virtual hosts) are not affected.
Performing a restart of httpd using /etc/init.d/httpd restart fixes the problem, and I can view my ASP site again. Obviously restarting the entire httpd process is less than adequate.
My guess is that this is similar to application domains in IIS. Is there a way to 'recycle' and app domain in mod_mono? Can I set this to happen on deployment?
I use Form Based Authentication in my siteIn my login page I have:
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(user.userName, true)
All we have a global ships position tracking website which runs smoothly until IIS application pool recycles.When there is workerprocess recycling looks like session state expires as a result i loose all session data and when customer clicks refresh button he is redirected to login page.
In web.config Session state mode is set to InProc so i changed it to State Server but to my luck i have MAP object which is not serialiazable which is causing the maps from not appearing on the website.I tried adding serializable attribute to the object class but still not succesfull.Our website is accessed by our customers whose count is more than 1000.
Changing the session state mode from InProc to StateServer can really slow down the response time so
Is it good to go further fix the serailizable issues and move to state server?.
Is there any way I can retain my session data when application pool recyles?..
Stopping Application pool from recycling may not be a good idea considering health factor of web server.
I hate to sound stupid, but ASP.NET is not my forte. I have build an ASP.NET application which I now which to deploy to a production server. Searching on the web I found that it's recommended to just use the Setup tool within VS2010 to compile and install the files on the production servers. However, I find it a bit weird:
The files on the server are exactly those that I had on my system. I would've imagined that moving to a production server would involve some compiling and compression of file content so as to improve execution. But in practice all files on the server are exactly as they are on my local system -- I can even modify my .cs file on the servers and that works!! (Surprised ;-)). Following from the above, all my code is readily available on the server for anyone to see. I am not sure if this is a problem... For example, could it end up a security risk (due to passwords within the files)?
Can I objectively determine if my production ASP.NET web application is resetting its application pool? It could be for whatever reason (for example, an error occurred or memory topped off). I don't have direct access to my production servers, so when I want something on the server, I have ask specifically for it like PerfMon counters to run. It is a running IIS 6.0. I understand that I could use PerfMon to catch ASP.NET Application Restarts. If I was not monitoring that PerfMon, is there anything that can tell me the application restarted sometime in the past?

Questions (bear with me if my question is wrong)
1) Is it possible to use Visual Studio (2008 with SP1) to debug the remote application (i.e already in production)?.What are the tools do i need to use in order to keep track the things in case something went wrong?
2) Simply looking into Log file ,will solve the issues?
3) After having done with enhancements,is it possible to directly deploy the DLLs into production server.Won't it affect the running application?
what are the procedures i need to follow.Client is ready to provide any tools for my support.(What are the area do i need to aware to handle production system
