I installed Crystal Reports on Windows Azure, and most reports work just fine. However, none of the reports with charts work. I get Operation not yet implemented error from my web page.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
If you can install all the needed SAP, I understood that from the thread you mentioned, on a server on premises you could try one of the following options:
Start up a webrole, rdp into it and install what's needed
Create a startup task that installs the needed material. See this for example.
Make use of the new IaaS capabilities in Azure. Create a new server from one of the images in the gallery or upload a sys prepped image with the stuff you need on it to Azure.

I would be most grateful if anyone could help me solve this problem with ClickOnce Web deployment.
I have read all the threads on this subject and I have also read through all the Microsoft documentation on the subject. They seem to say a lot without actually being direct or providing helpful examples. However, perhaps I am wrong and I have not looked in the right places.
I have already used ClickOnce successfully to deploy an application on the local area network.
It works well and really isn't that complicated. However, my goal is to deploy this application to customers, who are not connected to my local network.
I have set up a web site (www.mydomain.co.za), which I can access directly or via the ftp protocol.
I have created a sub directory off the root where I intend to publish the files created by the publish function. The publish function of the application requires a Publishing Folder Location and a Installation Folder URL I don't really understand the functional difference between these two locations. If I set the Publishing Location to ftp://www.mydomain.co.za/MyProductName and the Installation Folder URL to http://www.mydomain.co.za/MyProductName, then the publish process succeeds and when I check on the web server, the files have been published successfully it would seem. A further Application Files/MyProductName subdiectory with the version number information appended was created where all the output was placed.
My next step is to then grab the URL of the setup.exe file and to run it from a browser. This downloads the setup.exe file to my downloads folder which I then try to run but I get an error
Deployment and application do not have matching security zones.>
I have seen this come up in other threads but These threads don't seem to relate directly to what I am trying to do. These threads make mention of using Internet Explorer to achieve some degree of success, but all the browser did was to download the file.
I have also noted with interest that a web page is created in the root with a button that prompts the user to install the application. This does not work either.
Does anyone know of an article that I can read on this subject which is more helpful or if anyone can offer more insights into this I would be very grateful.
I have wordpress installed and running in an Microsoft Azure WebApp. When I created the WebApp, the system automatically created Application Insights, which I tried to enable, but unlike on my other WebApps, the server side tracking wasn't working and I couldn't fix it, so I tried to delete it and added a new Application Insights resource...
Unfortunately I can't figure out, how to get it running, sice now I dont have a "deploy" button, to make it work, nor do I have Visual Studio - which every guide recommends to use and is a bit annoying.
What I need to do is install somehow the system monitor for App Insights in my App but can't find out how. (without VS)
Any help appreciated. Thanks
EDIT (SOLVED) :: Justins comment is the solution to this problem.
use the application insights plugin for WordPress. It will set up all of the necessary things to get the server side tracking.

I am trying to install Umbraco by using the Azure Marketplace. There they offer a template for it. I am always receiving the error below. I tried to install it a couple of times now but I always get the same error.
Does anybody know what this error message means? Is anybody able to install Umbraco by using the template in the Azure Marketplace?

You're asking 2 questions above.
Please see my answers and proposed troubleshooting guide/workaround below:
The error message means that the MSDeploy process failed due to some error which renders it unable to deploy the web deploy package for your Umbraco web app.
Yes I am able to provision a Umbraco web app from the Azure Market successfully (Location: Central US) and couldn't reproduce your issue
Troubleshooting Guide:
Append .scm in front of the azurewebsites.net of your Umbraco Web App as shown below and go to the Url.
Click on the Diagnostic Dump. You will be prompted to download a .zip file
Extract the zip file. You should see 2 folders at root level
Go into
LogFiles\SiteExtensions\MSDeploy
You should see the detail log files for MSDeploy
Detailed MSDeploy log messages are in the appManagerLog.xml file.
If it is related to client side issue which can be resolved by yourself, you can try to resolve it and try again.
If it is related to server side issue, you should create a support ticket for Microsoft to look into with the detailed MSDeploy log which pinpoints the root cause which will help them a lot.
Hope this is useful.
A Microsoft employee confirmed this is a bug in the application currently. I have to wait for a fix.
I have encountered numerous problems with the Azure installer of Umbraco, try setting it up in VS2015 then publishing it to Azure. I have found that this works well.
I've tried on a couple of different servers to install Web Deploy and it works to the extent that I need it to, but I haven't identified what the missing steps are.
Where it falls down is after installing what appears to be the requisites here:
http://www.iis.net/learn/install/installing-publishing-technologies/installing-and-configuring-web-deploy
There is only occasionally the option for "Configure for Web Deploy Publishing" in the context menu on the site. Does anyone have a guide for this for proper deployment? How to enable the option?
Deployment in these cases is not through WebPI. I have to download packages separately and install manually. Can't find something that details this with current links, screen shots or advice.
Base Windows Server 2008 server with nothing special installed. Happy to clarify anything if anyone has any ideas.
The fix (provided by Kristina Olson of Microsoft) was to uninstall Web Deploy and then make sure all the pre-requisites are in place. There is mention of this in this article:
http://www.iis.net/learn/install/installing-publishing-technologies/installing-and-configuring-web-deploy
Key points:
Make sure Web Management Service handler component in IIS is installed and enabled
Make sure PowerShell v2 is installed
Database dependencies need to be installed
Make sure to select the complete install
I have a small solution that is composed out of 2 main projects a Mvc4 Web Api and a silverlight 5 Application. I've configured and deploy the application initially on the Azure platform and it all went great, but ever since when I deploy again the silverlight project does not get pushed and the online site has the old version.
I should mention all works great with the azure simulator on my local dev machine.
Anybody had a similar issue?
Regards,
I would suspect first (as Simon suggests) that the browser likely still has the previous client cached and loads that instead of downloading your new client.
You can use the version number in the code on your page that hosts the silverlight app to help. While it's easy for you to clear the cache - you don't really want to have to tell users to do that whenever you update.
Set the version to whatever your latest assembly version is (silverlight client project assembly), this will force the browser to download the client if the cached version is a lower number.
<param name="source" value="AppPath/App.xap?version=2.0.0.6"/>
Ok,
So after pulling my hair out, I finally figured out.
I have to change the build configuration to release in VS do a rebuild and then do publish because apparently the azure project does not do rebuild on the project when you publish it.
To solve this issue you'll need to identify the source of the problem (is it a client side problem where you have a caching issue or not). Even though you say caching isn't the problem we'll need to be sure about this first.
What I suggest is that you do the following first:
Activate Remote Desktop on your role
Connect through RDP and save this file to the role: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290 (fciv.exe)
Find the *.xap file (usually in E:\sitesroot) and get its checksum (using fciv.exe)
Modify the Silverlight project locally (maybe change a label or move around an element) to make sure its hash has changed.
Redeploy the application
Connect through RDP and use fciv.exe to get the checksum of the *.xap file once again
Compare both checksums
If the checksums are different, then it means that the deployment worked correctly and the Silverlight xap has been updated. If the checksum is the same, the problem lies with the deployment.
Please let us know the result so we can help you find the solution.
