Configuration :: Global.asax Email Not Working In Test Or Production But Works On Hosted Site
Apr 12, 2010
I have a hosted site and just added some additional error notification to my global.asax file and works like a charm. I decided to add the same logic to our test server and it doesnt work. The server.transfer never happens and the email never gets updated. Now i know the email works on the test and production server since we have other pages that use the same SMTP server name and setup as i have in the global file. Below is my code as it is in the file now. I setup a test page to cause an error and the page displays the detailed error which we dont want. But i would like to be notified if this happens. What am i missing? I can only assume that its a IIS confige issue, since the exact same code works on a hosted site, but not at work on our test or production servers. Here is the code i have in the global.asax
i have written in the "Application_BeginRequest" Method that the header of every HTTP Request will be analyzed.
It only works when i visit the myip/default.aspx site. But when i want to visit any other site there will be no entry in the database or in the listbox (the listbox is only for me to see what happens)It runs on an IIS 5.1.
I also changed in the IIS Settings the ASP.NET from 2.0 to 4.0. Do i need to configure the IIS 5.1 to use the global.asax.cs on every url?
I thought the global.asax.cs runs on every site on the webserver.
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.
i think this has been asked before but i just cannot figure this one out. I have added a global.asax file to my project (using asp.net with c# from vs2010) and works great on my local machine. then when i publish to our site (i publish to ftp site and then copy from the ftp folder into the site folder overwriting old files) and it doesn't work... at all. i am using 'windows server 2008 R2 Enterprise'.
I just bought an old domain name and am looking to redirect as many old URLs as possible to acquire backlinks intended for the original owner for pagerank reasons. The original site had a lot of static pages ending in .htm which need to be redirected to directories. I use httpcontext in my Global.asax file to initiate 301 redirects and this works great on folder names or .aspx files, but whenever I try to redirect a .htm it fails.
Sample code:
if (HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.ToString().ToLower().Contains("http://www.example.com/oldpage.htm")) { HttpContext.Current.Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently";[code]....
I also tried using my Parallels H-Sphere interface provided by my hosting company to do a IIS redirect, but whenever I hit submit the page just starts an infinate loop of sending a request.
i am trying to write a global.asax to send an email notification to auction winners, using visual studio 2008 and sql express. so far i have written this using tutorials etc but i am getting errors to do with finding the database. i am also wondering if my global.asax page is written correctly in general,
I have a form where a user asks for a quote and we need to send an attached application form. all this worked in the dev environment but when I post the changes onto our hosted server (third party ISP) I get an error when the attachment is added. I have tired to use URL's but that does not work, at the moment I am using a relative path, but have also tried to place the file in the forms page folder.
I have a hosting account on DailyRazor.com , i use Global.asax in my project to start a schedule process in Application_Start.When i just publish my website, and upload it, the Application_Start does not Fire, but when i upload the Global.asax to my host it gives an Error but the Applicaiton_Start Event fires up, and then i delete the Global.asax file and everything works.just wondering, What am doing wrong ? or why this meaningless thing happens?
I'm trying to do some error handling in the Sub Application_Error(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) in my my global.asax. I'm using VS2010, ASP.NET 4.0
i have the following code in my global.ascx and when i click a generate error button the code gets run but seems to fail on the insert error into the DB.
I want the error to be saved to the DB and redirect to default.aspx.
pretty standard stuff.
the error i get is: exe.Message = "Incorrect syntax near 'System'." (looks like somethign with the SQL objects used in global.asx)
void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs Exception ex = Server.GetLastError(); StringBuilder theBody = new StringBuilder(); theBody.Append("Error Message: " + ex.ToString() + "
I have 2 versions of the same website, one compiled and the other one just plain code.The plain code website correctly inserts these records in the db, but the compiled one is not doing it.
I have a feeling the Global.asax file is being ignored by the compiled website. I can see the dll for it in the in folder: App_global.asax.compiled and App_global.asax.dll although I can't see a Global.asax file in the root folder (do I need one?)
I must say the website is compiled with MSBuild and then obfuscated using Dotfuscator.
I want to make sure of one thing. I have implemented the Application_Error() method of Global.asax. In my application some where I have a try catch. If an exception is trown and that exception is handled by a catch block. Does this envoke the Application_Error() method in the global.asax
to set a new sessionId on sign out, but when the session expires, the sessionId is reused if the browser instance is not closed. In my web.config I have used
but still get sessions reused. I can't kill the cookie in Session_end() because I don't have access because there is no HttpContext or request, so I can't reset it that way. how I can force a new sessionId from the Global.asax.cs file?
I have used a dll named MARCEngine, which is used to read Marc data. I use a method named MARC2MARC21XML which converts a normal marc file to an XML file.
The problem is it works great on my local IIS, but when I upload it to the production server, it only generates the root node and not the child nodes.
Here is a snippet of my sample page :
[Code]....
Asp.net has the permissions to access the files geneated.
Here is my problem: I have created a login form on my local machine. I have tested it on the local machine and it works fine. But when I push it to production it doesn't work.
I set-up the web config file so that the system uses the production database even from my local machine. I used the Web > AspNet Configuration tool in Visual Web developer to add a user to the production database. I used Sql studio management studio to confirm that the user was in the production database and not just on a local database. I have removed all references to the local database. I even deleted the entire app_data folder on my machine so that there was no chance that I am using a local database.
To create the login, I dragged a login component onto my Login.aspx page from the toolbar in visual web developer.
Why can I log in just fine on my local machine, but when push everything to production and I try to log in as that user I get the error message "Your login attempt was not successful"
I have recently published my website, it worked fine but the only issue is that the error handling code in the global.asax never works. It works when I tested the website on my localhost but not when it is deployed onto my hosting provider.
I tried moving my global.asax file onto my root directory (not the bin) on the hosting folder, then my whole website wouldn't even start. I get the error message "System.Web.HttpException: This server variable cannot be modified during request execution."
But if I remove the global.asax, then it is running fine again.
Note: I didn't use the publish function in Visual Studio to publish my website, I sent the files over one by one via cPanel. Note: I googled about this, a lot of them are saying about global.asax being precompiled into a dll, but I can't find that dll in my local computer.
The host I use for our site lets us schedule a task, we can pointo the site and a file on the site. I'm not clear on how to make the file I point to actualy do something like run a stored procedure or send and smtp email or run some code in my app.
I am handling errors in Global.asax. When I encounter an error in certain pages, the Application_Error event fires twice. On the second trip, Server.GetLastError() returns null. I have a simple page where I throw an error in page load. When that page throws an error the code below works fine. I also have a more complex page with an update panel and many controls. When that page throws an error Application_Error fires twice. I suspect the update panel but update panels are always suspect, right?
There are no try/catch blocks on any of my pages I'm testing with. Custom errors in web.config is commented out. Note that logging and busywork in the Application_Error event are commented out. I'm pretty much just doing a respone.redirect. The problem with the the event firing twice is that the response.redirect fails with an error msg stating that headers have already been sent (adding Context.ClearError and Response.Clear does nothing to fix that).
I have the same issue, I have added the On before the Application start, or Session Start and it is still not working.Application_OnStart or Application_Start is not firingSession_OnStart or Session_Start is not firing..Note that in my development environment it is firing (both of the names).When I am adding the Global.asax file, there is only one file (no .cs file). And when I am publishing the project, I am not getting the Global.asax file, I am getting a xxxxGlobal.asax.dll file on my bin folder...
I've put together some code that processes XML files as they're uploaded to the server using the FileSystemWatcher for one of my clients. The XML is uploaded every hour, and the FSW watches a set directory for new files. All is well and works fine in my development environment but I'm using my clients hosting provider (www.webhostforasp.net) and when uploading a new XML file it appears that nothing is happening? It is possible that the hosting provider doesn't allow watchers or calls from the Global.asax?
What would be the best way to find out what's going on there, considering that without running the site in debug mode, I've got no way of knowing what's going on with the Global.asax or the FSW?
Is there a way to use the ASP.NET Configuration to configure a site once it is hosted? Or can I manually enter data into the tables it creates? Anybody have any useful links on this?
When I run my app locally I get no errors. No error from Global.asax, no redirection to an error page. Everythings works fine.
When I deploy my app to a test server, my app run there with no errors. No error from Global.asax, no redirection to an error page. Everythings works fine on the test server.
But when I deploy my app to production server, the app runs fine but I keep getting errors (emailed to me) from Global.asax. On production server we have these security apps that run and keep hitting all URLs of the app on the server. Just to make sure they are working fine. When these security app hit URL of my app, my application runs fine but it gives out this global.asax error. The funny thing is that error is empty. The error are emailed to me and the email is empty. Nothing there.
There are several other apps running on the same server. My app has its own app pool and is configured correctly.
I can't believe the number of issues that seem to work fine on test but completely crash and burn on production.I have a situation where the code works fine in the test/development environment, but when you press a button in production, it crashes with:
[Code]....
Its just a button push, that is suppose to rebind a quantity change back to the database that the user has changed in a textbox in Gridview Edit.
