Publishing

Re: Publish from VS2008 to IIS 6.0 fails...

Hi all!

I think you have asked the right question! When a colleague was trying to publish from VS08 to IIS 6 the process failed when trying to "copy" a 1MB size file. I checked the other files in the solution and they were really small: 20KB, 10KB, etc.

So, my first thought was a server-side problem: IIS 6. But a couple of minutes ago, I downloaded the project from Source Safe and tried the same publishing process and it worked. I think it's actually a client side problem. I confirmed this diagnosis by publishing a 60MB size file and everything went smooth...

I'm using a XP box with SP3, Visual Studio 2008. My colleague is using a Vista laptop with Visual Studio 2008.

Maybe the problem has to with the Vista TCP auto tuning feature:

But it's something I must confirm. I will test and I''ll post again about the result.

Thanks for your time!. I really appreciate it.

Hi,

What evidence do you have that suggests the file size is the cause of the problem ?

Not sure it's relevant though if your file is less than 4 MB.

What do the IIS log files say? Anything relevant in the event logs?

Thanks for your reply and also for your insights. Yes, correct about the 1 MB JS file. But that's not the point.

I haven´t tried FTP (and I'm sure it'll work). But I want to take advantage of the IDE's features.

If there is a publish feature (which is supposed to support many "formats": publishing to a share, publising using FPSE, with FTP, etc.), I would like to use it. After all, it's something my company already has paid for.

How can I set the "max file size" IIS 6 's property? Anyone?

Thanks a lot!

If you have a 1 MB JavaScript to load you're in bigger trouble than this. :)

Have you tried using FTP?

Publish from VS2008 to IIS 6.0 fails...

Hi all!

I want to publish an ASP.NET website with Visual Studio 2008 to an IIS 6.0 (which already have installed Front Page Server Extensions).

I'm getting this error in the VS2008 output window:

Connecting to HTTP://192.168.30.49/SADE/...Deleting existing files...Publishing folder /...Publishing folder Administracion...Publishing folder App_Data...Publishing folder App_Themes...Publishing folder App_Themes/Nissan...Publishing folder App_Themes/Nissan/Images...Publishing folder Controles...Publishing folder Embarques...Publishing folder ext...Unable to add 'ext/ext-all-debug.js' to the Web site. The server unexpectedly closed the connection.Unable to add folder 'ext/adapter' to the Web site. Could not find a Web server at '192.168.30.49' on port 80. Please check to make sure that the Web server name is valid and your proxy settings are set correctly. If you are sure that everything is correct, the Web server may be temporarily out of service.

At the server side (Windows Server 2003 Enterprise with SP2), I checked some logs and says:

I think the problem is setting the "max file size" for IIS (not ASP.NET). How can I do this for IIS 6, not IIS 7 ( http://forums.iis.net/t/1152708.aspx). 'ext/ext-all-debug.js' is greater than 1 MB.

Any hint would be appreciated..

Thanks guys!
