Moving site3/4/2004 10:23:03 PM

0/0

I have inherited a project someone else has started and have been given the task of completing it for a variety of reasons. Suffice to say, I am looking for some help deploying the application that was started from the Portal Starter Kit. I can get around with asp but do not use it regularly.

Anyway, here is my problem:
I need to move the portal from his laptop to a test server. The server is configured correctly, but how do I go about moving this? Are there specific steps?

In addition, how do I go about taking ownership of the portal by re-naming it from Portal Starter Kit?

I hope this is not too vague.

Thanks so much!!!!

The first part: Use Copy Project in Visual Studio.

The second part: What do you mean take ownership?

By taking ownership I am referring to renaming the portal. Specifically changing the Namespace="ASPNET.StarterKit.Portal". What is entailed in this and what impact should I expect. I would like the application to reflect our naming conventions more acurately.

In addition, in regards to moving the site, I am not sure which version of the Portal was initially downloaded. Does this make a difference? I don't see any project files to transfer.

Lastly , I have copied over the database to our SQL test server and renamed it. I updated the connection string in the web.cgf but still cannot access the appliction. Are there other places that I am missing that I need to change?

Thank,
HD

You can change the Namespace to whatever you like, just be consistent and change all references to the same namespace. When you recomiple the project a new DLL will be created and the application will work with that DLL.

To move the site you use the copy project to a web you have created in IIS. And are given the choice to copy all files, just the ones needed to run the app, which most of the time is what you will choose.

Regarding the version, if code has been modified already, you will not be able to update it to the latest version. However if code was added in separate modules you might be able to do it. However do this carefully, HTML should be readded, not replaced. Can't really tell you what has changed with the user interface or code from version to version. The process will prove cumbersome. I would simply check this forum to go through issues than have been corrected and just update them manually.

The proper way to modify DB access is to modify the scripts. Most likely you cannot access the DB either because of a user/PWD problem or your SPROCS do not point to the same DB. I will need to know the error you get.

Hi,
If you do not want to use VS to copy your web-site(in case your web-hosting provider does not support FTP extentions,for example) I can recommend to you just FTP next files:
Bin/Project name.dll (do not copy .pdb)
Admin/------.axpx (do not copy aspx.vb and aspx.vb.resx)
---------------
---------------
----.ascx
PortalCFG.xml
Web.config
ASPNetPortal.css
Global.asax


and so on.
So,you do not need .VB file at all becouse as soon as you recompile you project,all .VB files will be compiled to that DLL.

Also,if you will mak any sourse-code updates,you will need to update this ProjectName.DLL
and your web-site will automatically restart and your updates will become available.

Alex.

I have resolved the DB issue, this was related to a security login issue on the server.

Hopefully this is not something I am just cruising over, but I cannot find any project files to copy over? Could this be related to how this was installed?

So I can just ftp the files over manually?

Thanks again for everyone's help. Baby steps.

Yes you can copy the files over FTP, that is the beauty of ASP.NET.

You should see the project files in your installation in the PSK folder. that is what the installer does, copy all source files and the dlls as well to a location you select.

Ia m looking at the setup and I believe the SDK versio was downloaded. Am I going to run into any problems continuing to use VS? Also, this being the case, will there still be project files located there?

I really appreciate your help.

What is the easiest way to recompile?

Well the SDK does not use Code Behind so you must do a lot of manual work like dll compile.

I advise you to use the VS version. But if you still want to recompile, use the command line compiler VBC. You will find all the necessary info on MSDN, search for compiler Visual Basic .NET

This brings up an inetersting scenario. Can I removed the SDK version and re-install the VS version? I understand this will require some setting changes in the config files ect, but much of my customization will be stored in the database, correct?

I have never used the SDK versions, I think you can uninstall it and install de VS version. but As far as I know you can also have both of them installed.

I have actually installed the VS version and updated the Config file to connect to the remote server. Everything seems to be working. However, before I uninstall the SDK version; am I going to run into problems using the same database?

Thanks again hooligannes97 for your assistance.

You are very welcome.

When uninstalling it will remove your SDK files, but I am not sure if the uninstall deletes the DB. I have never tried this. I suggest you copy the DB for the new VS version and rename it using scripts, then run the uninstall. If it deletes the original DB you will get an error, if this happens simply change the config file again to the new DB, if it is not deleted, simply remove the new DB you just created.

I uninstalled the SDK files and this did not remove the database. I thought about it, and since I renamed the database and moved it to a remote server it wouldn't be able to delete it. I did a backup in the event it did. Just thought you might want to know.

Anyway, I am trying to open the project file in VS 2003 and I am getting errors "Unable to get the project file from the Web server. Unable to open Web project 'PortalVBVS'. The Web 'PortalVBVS' located on server 'http://localhost' does not exist."

I installed the portal on C:\NEWEVENTS

I thought this might be related to the virtual directory but I can't seem to resolve it. Anyway, I will continue to look throughout the forum for more info. Just thought I would throw this out.

Thanks

Yes it is related to the virtual directory. Just check that it maps to the same place in the webinfo file. You can open this file using VS directly or Notepad. Edit it to map to the same directory as you have in IIS.

At the risk of sounding stupid where is the webinfo file you are referring to? I had started to go into IIS to create a virtual directory for the PortalVBVS.

It has the same name as the Portal and the extension .webinfo in the same folder as the project.

The *.sln file is there but I don't see any *.webinfo. I can't seem open the .sln file which is killing me. I must be missing some step somewhere.
