KeepAlive Task Error

I recently moved to a new server. The move was from a shared hosting enviroment to my own dedicated server.

Windows Server 2008R2

SQL Server 2008

MojoPortal 2.3.3.2

Ever since I moved the server I get the following error in the logs using the KeepAlive task

2010-01-06 17:34:32,731 ERROR mojoPortal.Web.AppKeepAliveTask - System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed out
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
at mojoPortal.Web.AppKeepAliveTask.DoKeepAlive()

Re: KeepAlive Task Error

In IIS 7 you need to specify the url for the keep alive task. Previously you were probably hosted on Win 2003 IIS 6.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: KeepAlive Task Error

No I had the url to my site specified in the web.config.

<add key="UseAppKeepAlive" value="true" />
<add key="AppKeepAliveUrl" value="http://www.xxx.com/Default.aspx" />

But you are correct in that before I was running under IIS6. Are there any settings in IIS7 that could not be set properly?

Re: KeepAlive Task Error

It can be any number of problems. Basically the keep alive task is doing a server side web request. This may be blocked by trust policy configuration, like by default medium trust does not allow outbound web requests usually hosts modify the trust policy to allow it, failure to resolve dns correctly, or a firewall that is blocking the outbound requests.

Hope it helps,

Joe
