WebMatrix error when using FTP? - iis

When I use WebMatrix (the latest version, on Windows 8 RP) to try to connect to an FTP site, it shows an error where files should be shown. I actually have no idea what could be causing this, and I can't find any log file that could help. Screenshot: http://imgur.com/aV7iR
I'm also using IIS 8 to host a local PHP/MySQL site, if that matters
Thanks,
Matthew

I think this might actually be a different issue. There is a bug in WebMatrix RC that causes the remote view to behave badly when connecting to directories with large numbers of files.
We've fixed this now, and it should not repro in our next release. Sorry for any inconveniences this has caused.

Ah, it turned out to be because I had a file called "CFLogo.png" and another file called "cflogo.png" on my server and WebMatrix wasn't able to deal with both of them having essentially the same name :\

Coda 2 publish button not working

I have exactly the same site settings in coda 1.7.4 as I do in coda 2 but when I click the publish arrow in coda 2 it tells me "Set both local and Remote paths in a site to publish your changes".
I have already done that but it still is not working. As I said the same settings are in the older version and it works fine and publishes.
Anyone have any of the same problems.
I contacted Coda support for exactly this issue today... Same as you, after setting up a site with the correct remote and local roots - confirmed because I could connect to both - but still the publish window said "Set both local and Remote paths in a site to publish your changes".
Literally the solution was to close Coda down and re-open it. Apparently this is a known issue, when setting up a new site you have to restart Coda to use the publish functionality.
Just by closing Coda and restarting it the publish function now works for me.
I had this problem and none of the above worked. I got the following reply from the team at Coda and it worked a treat.
Right click the saved site in question and choose Edit. Disable publishing and automatic indexing.
Save and close the site
Open the site, then from the menubar choose File > Sites > Rebuild Site Index
After the indexing competes, restart Coda and then re-enable publishing (and optionally, automatic indexing)
I had the same issue until I ticked the "Use Publishing" in the site settings.
Check out the image: CODA 2 Site Settings
I can now publish via the ⌥⌘P on a Mac.
I hope this helps.
Specifically, you have to close all the open documents in Coda, reconfirm the local and remote directories configured for the site, then close Coda2 and reopen it.
Honestly, that a bug like this still exists, is amazing. After all these years, I still need to keep Dreamweaver around. Get with it Coda! #coda #coda2
My "fix" (this time) was:
to edit the FTP server's domain to be not working,
open the site,
let it complain the server is wrong,
close Coda,
reopen Coda,
fix FTP domain,
open site,
and voilà!
A classic I-learn-by-complaining case. ;-)
(Coda 2.6.10...)
I had a situation where the publishing had been working ok, and then mysteriously stopped.
I tried all the suggestions previously answered by BenLeah, Ben Darlington, Robert Barrueco, and Manu, and upgraded to the latest version of Coda2 (from 2.6.9 to 2.6.10), but none of these restored publishing.
What did finally work for me, was to physically delete the site connection panel in Coda2 and create a new site altogether (with the exact same settings). Not sure if this will work again if the publishing turns itself off again in the future, or if it solves the problem for anybody else. If it ever does, I'll update this answer.
It's unbelievable that Panic has not fixed this by now.
Finding and deleting every Coda related file and reinstalling Coda did not help.
My "fix" (this time) was to delete the site in Coda and recreate it.
Publish stopped working for one of my sites, but for entirely different reasons than others have discussed here. I used Time Machine to roll back to a recent version of the site, renaming the original folder so I would know not to use it. Coda 2, however, kept pointing to the original (renamed) folder.
So it seems Coda uses a unique ID to identify the local root folder, not a simple file path. This is probably a good idea in most cases—it means if you move or change the name of this folder in the Finder, Coda still knows where it is. But if the actual folder changes (as it will if you recover from a backup), you can expect the unexpected.
I still don't know why the publish feature stopped working with the renamed folder. (In some ways I'm glad it did, as it stopped me publishing from the wrong folder.) All I know is that updating the 'Local Root' of the site fixed the problem.
You have to set the FTP putting the mouse on the file between your site and the page. Below the menu, as soon as you click file you will open in the middle a screen. Then you put in your FTP settings.

ElmahR doesnt load properly on IIS

I've been fiddeling around with ElmahR for the last two days and was planning to push it to our dev-playground for testing.
However, it doesnt load properly when running on IIS 7.5
I've fired up the deployed solution on 3 different machines with IIS Express without problems.
On IIS 7.5 it gets stuck at "Loading..." or "Sending Command", depending if it is set up as a sub application under default website or as a standalone webapplication.
The used system is Windows Server 2008 r2 sp1, IIS 7.5 .NET 4 application pool integrated mode. (all 3 machines)
I can't find the problem at hand; hope you can help.
Kind regards.
This is not an answer yet, it should be a comment but I cannot comment here :) I'm the author of ElmahR, I was not aware of the issue, last time I tested it on IIS 7.5 was a while ago and I did not have any problem, I'll have to recheck. Right now I'm not at home but I'll have a look at it when back, possibly before next weekend. And thanks for using it :)
UPDATE: I think I solved the problem, I blogged about it here. Basically, there were a couple of javascript bugs:
in one point I was not correctly setting the root of the application
under IE7/8 a better check about the plugins object was needed (the same code was running fine on IE9/Chrome/Firefox/Safari...)
The online repo is up to date, and the sample setup zipped file too.

IIS not able to locate the web.config

I have a deployed a web application in IIS. Which used to work without any issues. Recently i have shifted that web application to another machine, Here is the problem. Once i setup the Webapplication when i opened the default document in IIS im getting the File not found error as following
Internal Server Error
\?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\application\web.config
I have no clue why the IIS is not able to find the web.config. The file is present in the path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\application\web.config but the IIS is looking in the path \?\C:....
Please let me know how to resolve this??
Firstly this is documented on support.microsoft.com so I would suggest that anyone who has this issue read this first as it covers a number of solutions which I won't
Now from personal experience I encountered this error after setting up a new development machine. What I had forgotten to do was install the Url Rewrite 2.0 IIS module. Sadly the IIS error gives absolutely no idea that this is the actually issue.
Therefore to solve this issue investigate the system.webServer setting in our web.config and ensure that you have installed all the iis modules that you use. I did this by systematically removing elements from my web.config until I came across the cause.
In my case, I was running ASP .NET Core website so I had to install .Net Core Runtime from
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/current/runtime
I know it's old post but I resolved the same issue as follows:
If you are using TFS and you are getting this problem then Reason is ".vs" file is not excluded from commit.
Because of that ".vs\config\applicationhost.config" gets the local version of another user/Developer.
To Solve the error, First open that file Update Physical path inside "" xml tag.
Also ask user to exclude this folder from TFS to prevent future issues.
If you are getting mysql localhost error. What I will do will work for you.

IIS 7.5 shows aspx but no content

I recently switched from Vista to Windows 7 (with IIS 7.5). But i can't seem to get it fully working.
My problem: I run Visual Studio 2008 (sp1) (run as administrator) and i see my WebSite (webforms).
I publish my website, and all seems well, except my layout is wasted.. why? i get a 404 on my CSS and javascript file.
I read an article that you need content server (service?) installed. After some translation i figured that should be "Statische inhoud" (dutch.. translated static content).
I triple checked that the .js and .css files are in te folder i'm pointing to (tried root folder of the website), but all in veighn...
Here is my IIS-component list that is installed (in dutch).
Anyone able to figure out why i get 404's? or even beter, how do i fix it?

I had this problem and spent 6 hours doing research and trying out many suggested solutions.
We resolved this by granting the default IIS user access to the application folder.
Well, i finally figured it out :)
Hope some else will be helped by this answer:
It was related to the Static File Module.
Microsoft has a solution which did not work for me.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942052/
It was already configured this way.
But i deleted it, added it again, i could access my CSS... but ASPX didn't work anymore. The Fix for that issue: Make the list Sorted, and move your static filehandler to the bottom (or a least after aspx, but probably the best is at the bottem).
Thanxs everyone for the pointers though!

The type or namespace name 'Script' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Web'

I just deployed a website into IIS 7 (about which I am woefully ignorant), and upon trying to build the site, I receive this error. I did a little googleing and I saw an article that said I should put system.web.extensions.dll into the /bin. But, I also saw an article saying not to do that. I tried it anyway, but I just received a different error ('Resource cannot be found').
I am totally clueless as to what else to try
Can you use the "Publish" command in Visual Studio to publish directly to the site? If not, then use that command to publish to a similar site on your machine, then copy it to the customer site.
You should also look into the IIS Web Deployment Tool. It can copy an entire site, including IIS settings and any databases. It will be built into VS2010.
Go to control panel, then programs, turn windows features on or off, scroll down to Microsoft.net framework 3.5.1 expand, make sure both sub options are selected, this might help your issue.
