I just recently upgraded to IIS7.5. Our Production system is IIS6.0 (Windows Server 2005). I have a folder setup with an APP_Code folder in production, linked to IIS as a virtual directory. The code compiles fine there. However, my test environment is local (Windows 7 with IIS7.5). The code here will not compile from the APP_Code folder, same folder and virtual directory construction. I do not have a web.config file (using default inheritance). I did not experience these issues until updating to IIS7.5. All files were created in a notepad-like environment (not a project through Microsoft Visual Studio). Any help is appreciated.

Error message from Web Site Administration Tool :

There is a problem with your selected data store.  This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission.  It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled.  Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store. 
The following message may help in diagnosing the problem:A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)

Thats the error message I get when I press the security tab link.  I am able to open the database in the server explorer and view data etc.

Should I just make a new aspnetdb?  If so how?  Detach aspnetdb and use aspnet_regsql.exe?

My webconfig for the project has no connection string for the aspnetdb.

the property for "connection string" from server explorer is:

Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=E:\src\myproject\myproject\App_Data\ASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated Security=True

Should I make a whole new project, then  add my old files minus the aspnetdb.mdf?

Thank you,

Timothy Gleason

Despite setting the applicationName in the web.config to "demo", it still sets the applicationName in the SQL aspnet_Applications table to "/". I have searched back and forth across the web.

You can see the applicationName set to "demo" on the 5th line of this web.config:

<membership defaultProvider="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"><providers><clear/><add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"
			applicationName="demo"
			type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
			connectionStringName="MyConnectionString"
			enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
			enablePasswordReset="true"
			requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false"
			requiresUniqueEmail="true"
			passwordFormat="Hashed"
			maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5"
			minRequiredPasswordLength="5"
			minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"
			passwordAttemptWindow="10"
			passwordStrengthRegularExpression=""/></providers></membership>

When I check the database table - no results as expected:

select * from aspnet_Applications
0 rows selected.

Okay perfect. Next. I add a role in the ASP.net Web Site Administration Tool:

Take a look back at the database:

Why isn't it writing the proper ApplicationName? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've tried adding the aabsolute path into the config file and tried executing the package which won't work

Eg: \DatabaseName\PackageName

I've added an entry into the package config file of the path and used that variable in the package execution settings. Error says

Error 0xC001000A. Failed to load the package "@[User::PackagePath]" from SQL Server "Database Engine". Make sure the package exist on the SQL Server and you have the correct credential to access it.

Its very Urgent .... Issue in prod ... Please help

Hi all:

I have in web.config

<connectionStrings><add name="Cresolia" connectionString="Data Source=USUARIO-HP\CRESOLIA;Initial Catalog=Cresolia;Integrated Security=sspi"/><add name="Cresoliaza" connectionString="Data Source=USUARIO-HP\CRESOLIA;Initial Catalog=Cresoliaza;Integrated Security=sspi"/><add name="Cresolina" connectionString="Data Source=USUARIO-HP\CRESOLIA;Initial Catalog=Cresolina;Integrated Security=sspi"/><add name="Cresolined" connectionString="Data Source=USUARIO-HP\CRESOLIA;Initial Catalog=Cresolined;Integrated Security=sspi"/><add name="Cresolis" connectionString="Data Source=USUARIO-HP\CRESOLIA;Initial Catalog=Cresolis;Integrated Security=sspi"/><add name="Cuentas" connectionString="Data Source=USUARIO-HP\CRESOLIA;Initial Catalog=Cuentas;Integrated Security=sspi"/><add name="Historico Cresolia" connectionString="Data Source=USUARIO-HP\CRESOLIA;Initial Catalog=Historico Cresolia;Integrated Security=sspi"/><add name="Historico Cresoliaza" connectionString="Data Source=USUARIO-HP\CRESOLIA;Initial Catalog=Historico Cresoliaza;Integrated Security=sspi"/><add name="Historico Cresolina" connectionString="Data Source=USUARIO-HP\CRESOLIA;Initial Catalog=Historico Cresolina;Integrated Security=sspi"/><add name="Historico Cresolined" connectionString="Data Source=USUARIO-HP\CRESOLIA;Initial Catalog=Historico Cresolined;Integrated Security=sspi"/><add name="Historico Cresolis" connectionString="Data Source=USUARIO-HP\CRESOLIA;Initial Catalog=Historico Cresolis;Integrated Security=sspi"/></connectionStrings>

In codebehind I have

        Dim strconexion As String
        If Request.QueryString("historico") IsNot Nothing Then
            strconexion = "Historico Cresolia"
        Else
            strconexion = "Cresolia"
        End If
        Dim cnconexion As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings(strconexion).ConnectionString)

When strconexion is "Cresolia" it is ok. But when it is "Historico Cresolia" it fails and I receive an  System.ArgumentException.

El formato de la cadena de inicialización no se ajusta a la especificación que comienza en el índice 0.

This error tells me something is wrong with the coneectionstring. What is wrong?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

If I'm building a ASP website on my own laptop running IIS 6.0, am I going to have any problem deploying it on Web hosting company running IIS 7.0?

thanks

Windows Sever 2012

IIS8 (I think)

I am looking if there is a way to take my current web site settings AND app pool settings and do any of the following.

• Back them up and restore them
• print them out
• copy as text

...because last week somehow an app pool got changed from classic to integrated, causing my clients web site to fail.  Seriously, I did NOTHING to change this setting.  At any rate I want to document ALL my sites settings along with the APP POOL settings so that if there is ever a problem again I can easily find and fix it.

Greetings! So I have a web server on which several dozens of websites are running. A lot of these websites have, on their turn, dozens of landing pages which are accessible through different domain names. Works like a charm for SEO purposes, but the list of web sites in IIS gets huge. Not an issue, normally.

However, I got a server migration coming up! The files and databases are no biggy, that's a matter of mere minutes. However, the entire IIS configuration, that's going to be painful... Is there an easy way to get one server's IIS configuration (the application pool and website hierachy, settings, bindings, etc) to another? Thanks.

Hi, I am getting this error, I know i have to set a directory but it seems everything is fine and can't understand where is the problem.

Hi

   I am a .NET developer and have recently switched to using Windows 8 (Single Language edition).

   I have previously created an Installer using Inno Setup and have been using it since Windows XP and 7.
   The installer copies web app files to the target pc/server and runs a few IIS script to create the virtual
   application.

   https://www.dropbox.com/s/ypehan77rpdxeut/installer.jpg

   I am now facing a problem with my IIS Manager after running this installer on my Windows 8 pc. Somehow
   these script have corrupted or mess up my IIS Manager. I can no longer manage my localhost website after
   running this installer. The groups under Connections (where we can see Sites, Application Pool, etc) is now
   missing! They work on previous versions of Windows (Windows XP, Windows 7) and Windows Server.

   https://www.dropbox.com/s/hxnkwlljvpde9x1/iis_mgr_problem.jpg

  I tried uninstalling (removing IIS manager via Control Panel > Turn Windows Features On or Off) and

   reinstalling again, but it does not work. 

   Any assistance in this will be very much appreciated. Kindly let me know if you need additional information.

   Thank You.

I upgraded a .net 3.5 asp.net web site project to a 4.5 web site. It has a lot of supportig projects which I also upgraded to .net 4.5. The old app was specifying some images on a user control with a url to an Images folder in the root of the app like this: ~/Images/myImage.png

This results in a bad path like this http://localhost/Images/myImage.png instead of  http://localhost/MyWebsite/Images/myImage.png

If I specify the path like this: /MyWebsite/Images/myImage.png then it's fine but I don't want to hardcode the application name like that even though it's in a config file. MyWebsite is configured as an application in IIS not a virtual directory. There may be atleast one rinkle in that the image path is on a user control that is being dynamically added to a webform at the root of the application. The user control is in a UserControls subdirectory.

It seems the IIS application name is being ignored when building the image path from ~/Images/myImage.png and I don't understand why that's happening.

Hi,

My application works fine when I am run locally.

When I deployed to IIS( Version 7.0) and run it all aspx pages are displaying disable Vertical scroll and the page format is not proper.

Kindly help me to sort out this issue.

Thanks,

Naveen

Hi,

In the ASP.NET set up log I am getting the following for each site also:

2013-02-07 13:57:05            Starting    Creating directory: \\domain\dfsroot\site root directory\aspnet_client

2013-02-07 13:57:05        Failure     Creating list of client site scripts dirs: CreateSiteClientScriptDir failed with HRESULT 80070005: 'Access is denied.  '

These sites are all .Net 3.5 and I'd rather .Net 4.0 left them well alone.

Does anyone know if there is any way I can convince .Net 4.0 to stop trying to create these directories and if that is actually advisable (i.e. should I correct the permissions issue so that .Net 4.0 can create these aspnet_client directories).

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks,

Mike.

When I add:

@ObjectInfo.Print(this)

...to a Razor code packet at the top of a page, I get, in both the "Stream InputStream" and "Stream Filter" objects, these exception messages:

int ReadTimeout = Accessing a property threw an exception: Property accessor 'ReadTimeout' on object

'System.Web.HttpInputStream' threw the following exception:'Timeouts are not supported on this stream.'

Is this something I can rectify, or is it out of my hands? If the former, how can I prevent these exceptions from being thrown?

I also get, on "TextWriter Output" and "Stream Filter" these exception messages:

Property accessor 'Length' on object 'System.Web.HttpResponseStream' threw the following exception:'Specified method is not supported.'
long Position = Accessing a property threw an exception: Property accessor 'Position' on object 'System.Web.HttpResponseStream' threw the following exception:'Specified method is not supported.'

And, finally, "ProfileBase Profile" favors me with:

DateTime LastActivityDate = Accessing a property threw an exception: Property accessor 'LastActivityDate' on object 'System.Web.Profile.DefaultProfile' threw the following exception:'The connection name 'ApplicationServices' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty. (C:\Project\sscs\TLog\Development\Development\TLD\TLDReporter\web.config line 145)'

DateTime LastUpdatedDate = Accessing a property threw an exception: Property accessor 'LastUpdatedDate' on object 'System.Web.Profile.DefaultProfile' threw the following exception:'The connection name 'ApplicationServices' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty. (C:\Project\sscs\TLog\Development\Development\TLD\TLDReporter\web.config line 145)'

Line 145 in Web.config is:

<add name="AspNetSqlProfileProvider" type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider" connectionStringName="ApplicationServices" applicationName="/" />

In context:

<profile><providers><clear /><add name="AspNetSqlProfileProvider" type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider" connectionStringName="ApplicationServices" applicationName="/" /></providers></profile>

If this is worthless, should I nix/86 it?

Hi All

I am using VS Express for Web 2012, I created a web site, setup users, membership roles etc, it all works fine locally, but when I upload the entire site to a remote web server, I cannot login (error displayed below) and shown below is the connection string.  Now I thought, that when you upload the site, it takes the local db with it and you should be able to login with the db that gets setup when you create users etc.

Connection string:

<add name="DefaultConnection" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="(LocalDb)\v11.0Initial Catalog=aspnet-chester-20130601083200;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnet-chester-20130601083200.mdf" />

How to stop user website access when he is trying to user different domain login? Stop at windows popup box itself.

I am currently developing an ASP.NET web application in VS 2012 which is using MVC. I am having some problems when it comes to the publishing and deployment of the built service.

The issue is to do with the published version of the site and the paths to files. When I run the project within VS it opens in the web browser and works fine. However, when I publish it and try and access it on the webserver (both localhost and another server) I am getting a number of 404 errors. Using the IE Dev tools I have been able to work out that the reason for this is that a number of files are being referenced directly from the root of the server instead of the specific folder the site is located in, so everything is one level off.

The page that is generating the errors is built by MVC on the fly so everything should (I believe) be relative to this. So if the page loads at http://localhost/OUR_SITE, then any references should be in relation to that, but this isn't the case. One specific file is editor.js. As you can see the code adds the additional dependancies required for our javascript using the function below:

function includeJSdependencies(src) {
	document.write('<script src="' + src + '"></script>');
}

includeJSdependencies('Scripts/CPE/graphics.js');

When this page loads I would have expected it to reference it as http://localhost/OUR_SITE/Scripts/CPE/graphics.js but it is actually trying to load http://localhost/Scripts/CPE/graphics.js. I have tried all the following (some of them I knew wouldn't work but wanted to check) which all give me the same result:

includeJSdependencies('Scripts/CPE/graphics.js');
includeJSdependencies('/Scripts/CPE/graphics.js');
includeJSdependencies('./Scripts/CPE/graphics.js');
includeJSdependencies('../Scripts/CPE/graphics.js');
includeJSdependencies('./../Scripts/CPE/graphics.js');
includeJSdependencies('../../Scripts/CPE/graphics.js');

The only way I have been able to make it work thus far is to ADD the site folder to the path as follows:

includeJSdependencies('OUR_SITE/Scripts/CPE/graphics.js');

For reference, the directory structure looks like this: WWWROOT  \  OUR_SITE  \  SCRIPTS  \  CPE

Does anyone have any bright ideas where this is (or I am) going wrong?

Thanks...Chris

Hellow Sir,
