Real Life Scenario, would WebDeploy Help?

argon0 — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:41:32 GMT

We have a live web site which has to be live 24x7.... We are currently going through a large rebuild program, and are trying to decide on the best ongoing deployment solution. We regularly have changes which require the site to "recompile" - leading to up to 10 minutes downtime during an update - this is unacceptable. So we need a deployment solution which will lead to a maximum of 1 minutes downtime. So far we think the best way to do this is: 1) set up a 2nd site on the Live IIS 2) Upload all new code to the 2nd site 3) Allow DFS to synchronise all web servers 4) Run recompile on all web servers 5) Test new code/site 6) Manually change IIS to point to the new code rather than the old one. And repeat for each deployment. I can see that webdeploy could help in points 2 & 3 (sync rather than dfs), and possibly 6 to switch over. Are there any other ways that WebDeploy could help, and/or any better/other tools. BTW all running on IIS 6.0 Thanks Argon0

Comparing WDT vs MSI vs SCCM

rodrigob — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:44:05 GMT

Hi all,

I would like to get your comments about how to set Web Deployment Tool in the right place, compared to using MSI files created with Visual Studio (Web Setup Projects, in concret) to deploy sites/ASPX apps, or using a robust product such as SCCM to deploy software.

My objective is to know what's the right tool to use for each particular scenario.

Thanks in advance,

Rodrigo

hi everyone.

I am new to web development and I am facing a problem in deploying an asp.net website on IIS 6.0 .

I just copied my precompiled website folder on production server via smart FTP and then i created a virtual directory of my website using IIS manager. Now the problem is this that website is browsing well in IIS and running on web brwoser production server by giving its url(www.mysite.com:port).

But when I run it on internet means on any other computer than production, the browser is unable to open the site.

Browser's Messagee: server not found. cant find server at www.mysite.com

and IE says: page can not be displayed.

Someone help me out.

Problems getting msdeploy to work

OnlyAProgrammer — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:05:10 GMT

Hello,

I spent the past few hours trying to make this work but I failed miserably. And I don't find enough info on the net for this yet!

I am trying to deploy a web application from VS 2010 to IIS 6.0 on my server. VS 2010 only let's you use publish on an https address.

So I installed msdeploy on https://+:8083/msdeploy2/ however I get the message in VS that it is not reachable. (I did check the firewall)

I tried using the main IP of my server and a few others including the one of my VPN with my server but to no avail.

Doing the command "httpcfg query urlacl" on my server I can see that is running.

What can I do to make this work? Can anyone provide a quick step by step to make msdeploy work with IIS 6 and vs 2010?

What does the "+" stands for? When I tried to substitute it with a defined IP the service wouldn't start..

please help!

Recycle App Pool Using MSDeploy

michael.it — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 22:20:55 GMT

Is it possible to recycle an app pool on a remote machine using MSDeploy? If so, what is the syntax for such a command? We are using IIS 6, but syntax for IIS 7 would also be appreciated if there are differences between the two.

RTW was released today on September 24th, 2009!!

faith_a — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 23:13:39 GMT

We are proud and excited to announce the release of our version 1.0 today! You can get the newest release from http://www.iis.net/webdeploymenttool... please let us know what you think.

Some of the new features in RTW:

Brand new UI to create those server-side delegation rules, instead of directly editing config.
Delete and recycle application support inside IIS Manager, even as a remote non-admin user.
A new temporary agent that doesn't require you to have any services installed on your remote machines, but instead temporarily adds the agent and then removes it after sync.
A rule to avoid overwriting newer files on the destination with a new rule.
A rule to avoid syncing based on time stamp differences and instead perform a checksum comparison.
A new provider (runCommand) allows you to run a batch file, script or exe as part of synchronization. This is convenient if you need to net start a service, for example.
Lots of enhancements to our parameterization, including the ability to validate what the user enters, and provide a parameters.xml file with answers to parameters instead of passing them one at a time in the command-line.

Setting up multiple website error

tanajo — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 17:20:23 GMT

Hello there.

Need help here. I am currently running a website in IIS7 and windows server2008. I decided to add another website the same ip address and the same port(80) but different headers.

For example my existing website is websiteOne.com, and I added another website named websiteTwo.com

But everytime when I check the websiteTwo in browser, it always bring me to the websiteone.com pages. How could it be? Those two websites are pointing to different physical directories where the corresponding website files and pages are located.

Please help me with this problem.

Thanks
