Hi I am new to this but previously, I was using Log4Net successfully to log info and errors. Now when we are migrating to the cloud and hosting the app in Azure. Where should I store the the files. Currently the root folder is C:\Log\LogfileFortheapp.txt.
Not sure can I create a folder within the solution and store the files there? If so how I give a path in the web.Config file?
Also if I could Azure logs, it seems there are too many tools. But for the moment I need to use one which can store the error or information that I am currently logging into Log4net. So any suggestion please?

We Have search implemented using Lucene.Net, Indexes are stored in Azure Storage Folder, Few days ago we moved our Web Application From Azure CloudService To Azure AppService.
If we run this locally it works as expected, also works in CloudService But when we published our Web Application to Azure AppService
we have below Exception:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'D:\AzureDirectory' is denied.
tried to update AzureDirectory and Azure Storage packages but it's not working.
Any Idea?
Thanks,
Solution was to change Lucene.Net.Store.Azure.AzureDirectory s CacheDirectory path to D:/Home/AzureDirectory
AzureDirectory(cloudStorageAccount, containerName, FSDirectory.Open(new DirectoryInfo("D:/Home/AzureDirectory")))
As you mentioned I had no d:\ access
tried to update AzureDirectory
As David Makogon mentioned that in the Azure WebApp, we have no access to create or access D:\AzureDirectory folder. We could get more info from the Azure WebApp Sandbox. The following is the snippet from the document
File System Restrictions/Considerations
Applications are highly restricted in terms of their access of the file system.
Home directory access (d:\home)
Every Azure Web App has a home directory stored/backed by Azure Storage. This network share is where applications store their content. This directory is available for the sandbox with read/write access.
According to the exception you mentioned, it seems that some code want to access the folder D:\AzureDirectory but it is not existed in the Azure WebApp. We also could remote debug our WebApp in the Azure to find the related code, more details please refer to the Remote debugging web apps.
You don't have d:\ access. In Web Apps, your app lives under d:\home (more accurately d:\home\site).
Also - fyi this isn't "Azure Storage" - that term refers to blob storage.
I've been working for a client's website over the past year. I usually test things locally and then deploy straight to the production website. This has caused us some issues lately so I thought I should create a test/staging environment in which we could thoroughly test new features before pushing them into production.
Anyway, we have a VPS hosting account. I usually use remote desktop to manage the website in IIS. So in order to create a test environment, I copy pasted the folder of the production website inside the same directory (so they are both at the same level) and changed the name of the folder. Then I created a new website in IIS and mapped the physical path to the httpdocs folder inside the copied folder. After that, I setup a new application pool which basically has the same settings of the production website's application pool. I also changed the connection string of the test website.
But then when I tried to view the test website, it did not work the way I expected it to do. I keep getting &ReturnUrl=%2f appended to the query string, and the website is stripped out of its styles (the CSS). I remember this used to happen before when we were still using a shared hosting account, but I have no idea how to fix that.
I really do not know what's wrong. I basically have the same exact setup except I'm using a different port and a different database. I even tried running the test website with the application pool of the production website, but that did not work either...
Any suggestions?
looks like permission problem to me, check if your user has correct privileges in the new folder/app pool :)
I've uploaded my MVC Razor solution to my production server.
But when the website tried to access some files on my server (I've shared a folder and this is where the website reads files from) ... I get access denied.
I've tried to share the folder with "Everyone" permission and then it works fine.
My question is, which user should I add person for in the shared folder (using MVC 3 on an IIS7 server)?
It can depend on how you have your configuration set up. But in the common scenario you need to look at the app pool your app is running in, and then find out the account that app pool is running under. That account is the one that should have permissions on the folder in question.
I've been experimenting with ASP.Net MVC, and have come across a problem that is probably not specifically MVC related. But I cannot get the authentication in the default MVC application (the one created by the wizard when you create a new MVC project) to work properly under IIS 7 on Windows 7.
If I run under the Visual Studio environment, it works, but if I switch the settings to run under IIS instead, I get the following exception trying to submit the login or registration:
Failed to generate a user instance of
SQL Server due to failure in
retrieving the user's local
application data path. Please make
sure the user has a local user profile
on the computer. The connection will
be closed.
I believe that this is because the website runs under my own account in Visual Studio, but under the IUSR account in IIS. Google searches on the exception message have been unhelpful so far.
So, can one create a local user profile for the IUSR account? If so, how? Is there something else I should be doing to get the SQLExpress engine to work under the anonymous account in IIS 7?
I also tried configuring the IIS website to use my account, but since this is my home machine, my account doesn't have a password, and it appears that IIS won't let a website be configured to use an account without a password. Or, since this is my first experience with IIS 7, and configuration feels very different than IIS 5/6, I am just missing the right setting that will let me configure the account to use for anonymous access.
EDIT: Some additional information. If I empty the App_Data folder and try again from IIS, SQLExpress attempts to create my database and fails, but the exception message has further information with the following suggestions.
SQLExpress database file auto-creation
error:
The connection string specifies a
local Sql Server Express instance
using a database location within the
applications App_Data directory. The
provider attempted to automatically
create the application services
database because the provider
determined that the database does not
exist. The following configuration
requirements are necessary to
successfully check for existence of
the application services database and
automatically create the application
services database:
If the applications App_Data directory does not already exist, the
web server account must have read and
write access to the applications
directory. This is necessary because
the web server account will
automatically create the App_Data
directory if it does not already
exist.
If the applications App_Data directory already exists, the web
server account only requires read and
write access to the applications
App_Data directory. This is necessary
because the web server account will
attempt to verify that the Sql Server
Express database already exists within
the applications App_Data directory.
Revoking read access on the App_Data
directory from the web server account
will prevent the provider from
correctly determining if the Sql
Server Express database already
exists. This will cause an error when
the provider attempts to create a
duplicate of an already existing
database. Write access is required
because the web server accounts
credentials are used when creating the
new database.
Sql Server Express must be installed on the machine.
The process identity for the web server account must have a local user
profile. See the readme document for
details on how to create a local user
profile for both machine and domain
accounts.
I've pretty extensively confirmed that the first three suggestions have been satisfied. The fourth seems to be the cause of my problems, but I can't figure out how to do that. And although the suggestion claims there is a readme document that describes it, I have not been able to find that document.
I got this problem as well running under medium trust. The process that creates the database requires at least High trust. You can check this by looking in your Web.Config for
<trust level="TrustLevel" />
If there is no trust specified in your Web.Config, try adding it and set it to either Full or High. If this doesn't work, there is a machine.config in your IIS which you would need to modify.
That being said, the best route I have found to solve this is to just use aspnet_regsql.exe to create the necessary tables and then change the connection string in your Web.Config to look at it directly.
I solved "The directory 'LocalApplicationData' does not exist." error when running an SSIS package through an SQL Job by ensuring the SQL SSIS service and SQL Server Agent service were running under the same account as the swql job was set to use!
This in my case was a domain account.
Solution: Try UNINSTALLING any updates before you started experiencing the issue. I spent countless hours - wasted hours that I will never get back in my life - reading and following every solution possible without success. I uninstalled all SQL Server updates and now everything works fine.
What is the correct proceedure when deploying an ASP.net MVC application? I am using the built in forms based authentication and deploying using the publish function in VS2008 but when deploying it doesn't seem to deploy the ASPNETDB to the server and I end up with errors like
An error occurred during the execution of the SQL file 'InstallCommon.sql'. The SQL error number is 1802 and the SqlException message is: CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors.
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5(Access is denied.) while attempting to open or create the physical file 'C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\HOURS3\APP_DATA\ASPNETDB_TMP.MDF'.
I looked this up and attempted to change the sql server to run under the local system account as per
http://forums.asp.net/t/984436.aspx
but that doesn't seem to have helped.
When you try to publish this way, I believe you're going to overwrite your database with the one you are currently developing with. This means if you had any changes in your web environment, such as new users, you would lose them when you overwrote them in a publish. Additionally the reason you're probably getting permission denied, is because the file is already in use by the website, and Windows doesn't like it if you try deleting a file that is in use.
Typically I set my databases to publish in a different methodology than the ASP.net files. I often generate an upgrade script using a tool such as RedGate SQL Compare. This allows me to upgrade the one live on the server instead of copying a new file.
