Hi, use a win2003 IIS7 server running DNN 4.9, in a hosted centre, we also have the same config on a staging server in our office. We make changes to DNN via staging server (for performance) then upload changes using sql backup and file transfer. This works but is cumbersome, could webdeploy sync these two servers ??

Hi hannodb,

This is a very interesting scenario. I think it may be possible to accomplish using skip and replace rules, as well as using parameterization to update files. Can you please post this question on the forums so we can follow-up with you? (it's a little harder to do in blog comments and using the forum will benefit others who have similar requirements)

Thanks!

Hi I'm looking for a deployment tool that can speed up our deployment process.

The standard MS Deployment tool will not do:

We have a core project, and several other sites that reference the core. The aspx/ascx are referenced through virtual directories, but the dll's are copied into each project's bin directory. When you build the project using the MS Deployment tool, you get compilation errors due to missing references. If you include the IIS source location, the project builds, but it includes all the virtual directories in the output folder, significantly INCREASING deployment time. There is no way of excluding the virtual directories from the build output, without getting build errors.

Furthermore, we do not really need a tool to replace the normal compilation of our project: That goes pretty quickly already. What we need, is a tool that move the output files to the different environments. For instance I need the tool to copy the files from my local machine to the staging evironment, and then move it to the live environment. Obviously, you don't want to recompile your project locally when you're moving files from the stage to live environment.

Also, if we make a change to the core dll's, it would be nice if I can copy the dll's to all the sites with a single click.

Lastly, and I'm aware that I'm pushing it now, I need it to be able to make surgical updates to aspx,ascx and config files. The reason is that our sites are very dinamic, and we have id's on our controls that does not necesarilly match in different environments. Therefore, if it is possible, I would prever the tool to enable updates on certain lines of code, rather than to just overwrite the older file with a newer copy.

I know I'm asking for much, but I suppose there is no harm in trying.

Hello,

after searching some hours the net for an answer I hope to get an answer here. When you create a Web Site Project in VS2008 and add a Web Deployment Project you can choose to create a single output assembly and leave the aspx and ascx files updateble.

In this scenario you can deploy your unfinished Web Site to a Webdesigner that modifies the layout and probably some frontend scripting code.

The problem now is to get those files back in my source tree. As the web deployment project removes the CodeFile attribute of such files I need to readd it manually or write a program that does this step for me. Is my scenario so uncommon and why or am I missing a point? I don't want to give my source code in the page behind files to the designer. The CodeFile attribute destroys some cool flexibilty. I also tried to add the class in the inherits attribute but iis searches explicitly for the codefile if the attribute is present. if there just a search order: first try codefile, than class it would work!

Your help is greatly appreciated and I am looking forward to an answer!

Regards

Canadian Health&Care Mall started as a multistore based in Toronto and Ottawa in early 90s. Health&Care chain store system has been growing from year to year and finally has resulted in the current online project, as a result of operating not just as a family pharmacy but also as a store of so-called "useful things" . We tried to obtain the benefit from our previous experience and to create a really competing online resource for absolutely any customer. Though the idea is standard you may be absolutely sure that the filling is unique and has no analogues all over the Internet. We would like to admit that our online store is operating independently from the offline store system.

Hello, I have an ASP .NET application on Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.0 and works well, the matter is that the drop in Windows Server 2008 with IIS 7.0 and is not working properly, work only parts of the site, and when you perform an update solve some problems but others appear, my question is, with msdeploy I can solve this problem, or there is any configuration for migration, or someone knows what is the problem?

I cannot seem to get the remote access service running. I have it installed on my local system (I see the file and have a msdepsvc defined). When I start the service it quickly stops. In the event logs I get:

Service cannot be started. System.Net.HttpListenerException: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

at System.Net.HttpListener.AddAll()

at System.Net.HttpListener.Start()

at Microsoft.Web.Deployment.WDAgent.OnStart(String[] args)

at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.ServiceQueuedMainCallback(Object state)

I don't know what its talking about. Please note, this is Windows Server 2003; IIS 6.0. I also get these in the event logs:

Unable to bind to the underlying transport for 0.0.0.0:80. The IP Listen-Only list may contain a reference to an interface which may not exist on this machine. The data field contains the error number.

Help? Mike Frederick
