Deploying Website in Vs 2012

2013-05-21T08:38:18.453-04:00

I have a website that was originally built on vs 2010 (.net 4.0).

I opened it in vs 2012 and changed the web.config "targetFramework" to "4.5" instead of "4.0" , tried to build it and it was successfull.

There is no "Add WebDeployment" in vs 2012.What should i do to deploy the website on the server?All what i have found is for web projects,but mine is a website.

The website is currently running on server and using 4.0.What are the changes i should do to replace it?

I have : Windows server 2008 R2 and IIS 7 and i have installed .net 4.5.

Failing recycle after deploying new dll

2013-05-13T07:52:51.35-04:00

Hello!

I'm having a problem where when I try to upload a new .dll or web.config on one of my projects the server fails to recycle automatically. At least that is what I suspect is happening. The app pool doubles in memory and the process increases dramatically until it eventually seems to crash.

When I recycle manually it works quite well and there are not problems. Also the auto recycling seems to work well for some other applications.

Does anyone know what the problem might be? Could unclosed connections or such cause this?

Thanks!

How do I include application files in a Clickonce application?

2013-05-15T01:19:29.02-04:00

I am developing an application that has a number of support files. Currently there are three .txt files and one .xml file: as the project progresses there will probably be more. These files exist in the root directory of the project, and are visible and editable with Visual Studio or Windows Explorer.

In initial testing I used code like this to get the file name so that the program could read the data: -

Dim Filename As String = My.Settings.CommonPath & "\" & My.Settings.States
Dim InputTable As New StreamReader(Filename, System.Text.Encoding.Default)

My.Settings.states has value "States.txt". My.Settings.CommonPath has a value
C:\Users\Advanced Computers\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Jazz\Jazz

Thus, by putting these two together I get the complete path to the file, and InputTable reads the .txt file. This all works perfectly when I run the program locally with Visual Studio debugging.

Now I want other members of the project team to be able to start working with the prototype application, so I've set up a web site that includes project status reports and a [Run] button to download the application and run it. I published the application as a ClickOnce, using the option "Run from Website". You can click this and the software downloads and starts running, but fails when it tries to read the file. Hardly surprising: the folder C:\Users\Advanced Computers\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Jazz\Jazz is on my laptop, and not accessible to the clickonce user.

I changed the Dim Filename ... statement to

Dim Directory As String = My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath
Dim Filename As String = Directory & "\" & My.Settings.States

When I run a Visual Studio this fails because Directory has value that adds "\Debug\Bin to C:\Users\Advanced Computers\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Jazz\Jazz

I moved states.txt from the project root to \Debug\bin. This allowed my program to run from Visual Studio, but now I couldn't see it in VS, and I couldn't find any way of making it visible in Solution Explorer. I then re-published the application, but States.txt didn't seem to be included because when I tested the ClickOnce it didn't find the file.

What I want to achieve: -

1. When I publish the application, states.txt (and the other similar files) are included in the manifest to that they become available with the ClickOnce.

2. I can leave states.text (etc) in the project root folder, where it is easy to manage them as part of the project.

How do I do this?

Thank you, Robert

Web.config write rewrite rule for gclid= in asp.net

2013-05-20T14:08:51.767-04:00

Hello Team,

Could you please help me to rewrite the rule in web.config? I have to write rule for gclid=

My web.config rules are as follows:

<system.webServer>
		<rewrite>
			<rules>
				<rule name="GCLID Rule" stopProcessing="true">
					<match url="^(.*)$"/>
					<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
						<add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="^(gclid=.*)" />
					</conditions>
					<action type="Rewrite" url="/Default.aspx/{R:1}?" />
				</rule>
				<rule name="Redirect to WWW" stopProcessing="true">
					<match url=".*" />
					<conditions>
						<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^idimplants.com.au$" />
					</conditions>
					<action type="Redirect" url="http://www.idimplants.com.au/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" />
				</rule>
                
				
			</rules>
			
		</rewrite>
		<defaultDocument>
			<files>
				<clear />
				<add value="default.aspx" />
				<add value="Default.htm" />
				<add value="Default.asp" />
				<add value="index.htm" />
				<add value="index.html" />
				<add value="iisstart.htm" />
			</files>
		</defaultDocument>
	</system.webServer>

However above rewrite rule is not working. It is redirecting to default page i.e. home page of my site.

This should work like when I write

http://www.idimplants.com.au/?gclid=

It should remain as it is with its home page.

Thanks in advance

automated nightly builds

2013-05-13T16:54:07.59-04:00

Hello,

Not sure if this is the right place for this question..but we have currently a project that is on VS2008 with nunit unit tests and watin web tests. The process we have is: before we trunk our changes, we run all our unit tests..a min or so to run about 2000 tests..then the watin integration tests (800 of them). The problem is it takes about 1 to 2 hrs depending on how good the local machine is run them all. That is the source of our problem and my question here. Our machines for that 1 to 2 hrs is not usable since we want full process power focused on running tests and get it over with. Can someone tell us what they are doing to run integration (web) tests that click through anywhere between 4 and 10 web pages? what can we do to make it faster? I am looking for ideas...we know we want to change it..but no idea what options are out there.

Thanks

Server Error in '/' Application error and refreshing web.config

2013-05-16T10:01:03.907-04:00

Hi Guys,

My site http://buy.apeshop.com.au/ which uses windows asp.net will work fine one minute, but without changing or touching anything it will go continually go down, this happens continually almost every day, I get this error:

Server Error in '/' Application.
Input string was not in a correct format.

Strange fix:

When this error occurs, if I logon via FTP and rename web.config to web2.config then tried to load the site it will obviously fail
Then I renamed it back to web.config and the site comes up. As renaming (same as deleting and re-uploading) will reload the web.config itself. I also uploaded an old copy of web.config which fixed the error at first so site loads but again hours later same error message.

Obviously it is important that the site actually stays live for more than 24hrs, I understand my little web.config refresh brings the site back but then the error simply keeps happening again every few hours

Please what can be done? Would really appreciate some help!

cheers

How To Configure Wild Character Subdomain in IIS?

2013-05-14T09:55:10.097-04:00

For example, the following two example URLs resolve to the sameIP address:

abc.apps.com 200.100.1.22
xyz.apps.com resolves to 200.100.1.22
ccc.apps.com resolves to 200.100.1.22

There are about 15,000 subdomains in hosting. Instead ofcreating 15,000 DNS entries in the DNS server for zone to the server farm uses a wildcard DNS entry:

*.appps.com resolves to 200.100.1.22

how to create subdomain in iis like using wild character can any one guide how to do this .

UPdated :

I was resolved the above issue by using concept called Wild Card Subdomain creation in IIS , it will help get above requirement . If you want to do wild card domain creation you need an dediated static ip server .

Why must I keep the App_Code folder with my customized HttpModule codes？

2013-05-18T03:55:44.837-04:00

Hi all,

I wrote a customized module inherited from IHttpModule and when I deploy it onto my IIS (after rebuilding successfully), I find that I cannot delete the App_Code in my IIS, if I remove, error will be thrown out saying I cannot find customized module.

Why? I find that in my bin folder, there's a VB.dll file compiled with MyModule, it should not include the code file in the App_Code anymore?
