Kindly help
The error has a few things. First the root cause of the web application stopping and erroring is the My Site Cleanup Job. However the My Site Cleanup failure looks like a symptom of orphaned sites within the SharePoint Content DB. You can see the ID's of them next to the FileNotFoundException.
As a temporary fix you can either Disable or Reschedule the MySite Cleanup Job in Central Administration. However the permanent fix to resolve the orphaned ID's is to schedule an outage window and detach, then re-attach the content database of the affected web application(s). The other methods for fixing this issue or ones I can't recommend without trying the supported approach first.
Good luck!
We have been trying to use a SqlConnection within a TransactionScope. When we build the site and try this database call we run into an error:
A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.)
The error involved occurs on the line cnn.Open().
using (var scope = new TransactionScope())
using (var cnn = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
cnn.Open();
int result = cnn.QuerySingle<int>("SELECT 1");
Console.WriteLine(result);
}
We created a console application to figure out what was wrong and discovered that by changing our connection string keyword 'Pooling' from 'false' to 'true' allows this to run in the console application and successfully return our result.
We made the same change to our site connection string, the same error as before returns.
Is there any reason this code is not working?
I was under the assumption that the web.config was law, as viewing the file through the Kudu service showed my expected connection string, but apparently this isn't the case in Azure.
I discovered that Azure Publish Profile is overriding our web.config connection string, this override still contained 'Pooling=false'.
Removing this now allows our code to run as intended.
This blog post explains more:
"When this code runs on a developer’s local machine, the value returned will be the one from the web.config file. However when this code runs in Windows Azure Web Sites, the value returned will instead be overridden with the value entered in the portal"
I am trying to execute this command from a web application on sourceServer:
var mgr = ServerManager.OpenRemote(destServer)
but I receive this error:
UnAuthorized access wth a detail error: "Retrieving the COM class factory for remote component with CLSID {2B72133B-3F5B-4602-8952-803546CE3344} from machine failed due to the following error: 80070005"
I have full administrative rights on both servers.
I can issue that command from a console application no problem, but when I try it from the web application, I get the error!
I have tried enabling the remote management checkbox and started teh remote access auto connection manager and also tried updating the load user profile on the applicaiton pool from false to true.
I have searched so much to the point that all of my links are pink in color!
Any input is greatly appreciated.
I've decided to ditch the use of ServerManager.OpenRemote() and use the DirectoryEntry way:
DirectoryEntry root = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://server/W3SVC", username, password)
it is much simpler and straightforward.
I'm running into a problem with getting SSL to work in the Development Fabric. I'm running a clean install of Windows 8 Pro with Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate and the October 2012 Azure SDK for .NET. IIS8 is not installed, only IIS Express, which claims to support HTTPS so I'm hoping that's not the issue.
Running VS 12 as administrator, I've created a blank VS solution, added a new (.NET 4.5) cloud service with a new ASP.NET MVC 4 Internet web application project, and hit F5. Everything works fine. Then, when I add an SSL certificate to the web role and replace the HTTP endpoint (port 80) with an HTTPS endpoint (port 443, with the certificate), hitting F5 produces the following error message:
Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio
There was an error attaching the debugger to the role instance 'deployment18(32).WindowsAzureCloudService.Mvc4WebRole_IN_0' with Process Id: 4892'. Unable to attach. Access is denied.
Note, the last part ("Access is denied") comes in a few variations, a particularly pleasant one being "Catastrophic failure". :)
The only message in the VS Output window ('General' output) is:
Windows Azure Tools: Warning: Remapping private port 443 to 444 in role 'Mvc4WebRole' to avoid conflict during emulation.
The Compute Emulator UI is not much help; just before the instance disappears, this is the only console output that I get consistently (sometimes other messages appear, but sporadically every few runs; I'm not sure how to capture these):
[fabric] Role Instance: deployment18(33).WindowsAzureCloudService.Mvc4WebRole.0
[fabric] Role state Unknown
[fabric] Role state Suspended
[fabric] Role state Busy
[fabric] Role state Unhealthy
[fabric] Role state Stopped
The certificate was obtained from a CA and properly imported into the Local Machine/Personal/Certificates store as a .pfx with private key, extended properties, and marked as exportable, for what it's worth.
When I attempt to publish the service to Azure, I get one build (validation) warning about the database connection string (which I assume is irrelevant):
The connection string 'DefaultConnection' is using a local database '(LocalDb)\v11.0' in project 'Mvc4WebRole'. This connection string will not work when you run this application in Windows Azure. To access a different database, you should update the connection string in the web.config file.
Probably more important, the deployment actually fails with the following history in the Windows Azure Activity Log window:
9:00:25 AM - Warning: There are package validation warnings.
9:00:25 AM - Preparing deployment for WindowsAzureCloudService - 1/3/2013 8:59:55 AM with Subscription ID '<...>' using Service Management URL 'https://management.core.windows.net/'...
9:00:25 AM - Connecting...
9:00:26 AM - Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
9:00:26 AM - Deployment failed with a fatal error
Can someone help me troubleshoot this issue? I've rebooted a few times. ;)
Thanks in advance!
EDIT (Jan. 3, 4:44 PM): I have a few ideas that might help me make progress, but some are pretty drastic so any advice would be appreciated:
Is there a way to capture all the output from the Compute Emulator (Dev Fabric) to a log file so I can review it? (System.Diagnostic.Trace calls from my service won't help, since I don't even get as far as the RoleEntryPoint when using HTTPS!) I figured this out; see next edit.
That null pointer exception during the Azure deployment has me worried. Is it worthwhile to try reinstalling the Azure SDK, and if so, how should I go about doing a clean install of it?
Has anyone seen a problem of this sort disappear when switching to using full IIS for the emulator? (That seems unlikely since IIS vs. IIS Express should have no relevance to the Azure deployment.)
EDIT (Jan. 4, 10:15 AM): Bad news: I tried the suggestion to grant Read access to the certificates, but it didn't help in my case. Good news: I managed to capture one of those sporadic messages in the Compute Emulator UI before it shut down; it was a bit of info from some diagnostics. Not helpful in and of itself, but it revealed where the Development Fabric was storing its temporary files:
[Diagnostics] Information: C:\Users\Lars\AppData\Local\dftmp\Resources\0005155d-4592-40f4-812e-18793b26576c\directory\DiagnosticStore\Monitor
The GUID portion gets recreated for every deployment, and it is deleted when the deployment goes away (as it always does in my case). But in the parent directory ('dftmp'), there are a few helpful directories that I then monitored during a new deployment: DevFCLogs, DFAgentLogs, and IISConfiguratorLogs. I guess that answers the first question I had yesterday! :)
DFAgentLogs\DFAgent.log: (41KB) No useful information. A bunch of "Failure to read pipe" messages and failures to get the role/deployment instance ID, which I assume are just noise.
DevFCLogs\DevFabric--2013.01.04--<...>.log: (510 KB) No useful information. I skimmed the file and also searched for 'error', 'failure', 'not found', 'certificate', and 'Mvc4WebRole_IN_0'; none of those showed any hints of what was going on.
IISConfiguratorLogs\IISConfigurator.log: (6 KB) Now we're making progress!! :) Can someone tell me what this means? (In the meantime, I'm off ILSpy-hunting... fun fun...)

EDIT (Jan. 4, 11 AM): ILSpy wasn't much help; the exception is being thrown at an interop point (we knew that already) while trying to get the hash of a certificate in order to set up the binding (we knew that too). Does anyone know what COM object would need to be registered in order to get a certificate hash for a binding in Microsoft.Web.Administration? Or how I could intercept the interop call to find out? Bonus points if you can tell me why this is happening in the first place. :)
I've had similar problem on two computers. On both cases installing IIS solved the problem.
It seems to be enough to just install the IIS (via add/remove Windows components). You don't need to start using it. The installation changes something and after that my IIS Express started working again with HTTPS from Visual Studio.
There is a discussion on similar issue on MSDN Social:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/nl-NL/windowsazuredevelopment/thread/ad362016-16f6-459a-8022-9307aa5f910e
And the issue has been also raised on Microsoft connect:
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/758533
In my case the error in the log files was:
IISConfigurator Information: 0 : [00007644:00000007, 2013.01.17
00:39:18.523] Exception:System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
(0x800401F3): Invalid class string (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800401F3
(CO_E_CLASSSTRING))
I found the log files from C:\Users\\AppData\Local\dftmp\IISConfiguratorLogs directory.
When running locally with a private key cert for SSL, you'll need to give the user the emulator app is running under access to the private key. Open mmc.exe and add the Certificates >> Local Computer Snap-In to view your certificate. Right Click on the certificate, then All Tasks >> Manage Private Keys - then add IUSR and Network Service with at least read access.
For deployment to azure, you'll need to upload the certificate to the Cloud Service and make sure the certificate is valid for the domain.

I work for The Smeal College of Business at Penn State. I am doing a project for the Supply chain program and I am creating an excel workbook in Sharepoint that uses a lot of UDF's. I have no problem accessing the workbook or using other UDF's, but when I try to use OpenWorkbookForEditing() I get the following stack trace:
System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 503: Service Unavailable.
at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall)

at ClassName.ClassNameFunctions.testWriteCell()
Additionally, I've tried to access excelservice.asmx through PHP SOAP and have not received a response. Each attempt to connect to this service provides a 503 error in the IIS logs similar to the following:
2012-08-06 15:14:58 xxxx::xxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxxxxx POST /_vti_bin/excelservice.asmx - 80 - xxxx::xxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxxxxx Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+MS+Web+Services+Client+Protocol+2.0.50727.5456) 503 0 0 59
I've tried changing most of the settings in Sharepoint Central Administration, as well as some of the setting in IIS. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem? Thanks.
I'm running a Sharepoint 2010 server on Windows Server 2008.
Can take a look at this article maybe it will help.

The solution that is suggested here is to just restart. If this is a dev machine that shouldn't be a big deal.
Also make sure that no application pools have stopped as this could make the service unavailable.
