IIS Settings

In my initial install, I left my iis7 Application pool setting to DefaultAppPool, which seemed to work great for setup and creating my first page. I'm adding a Silverlight Application to the website. Silverlight applications require that the Application Pool be set to ASP.NET 4.0 for the application. I suppose I can leave the Application Pool for the Mojo Portal at DefaultAppPool and set my app to the ASP.NET 4.0 pool.

Will MojoPortal run correctly if I set the Application Pool for the entire website at ASP.Net 4.0?

Thanks

Re: IIS Settings

I've talked with people at the Silverlight forum, then tell me that the following installation scenario is common:

www
/website1: is a website with ASP.NET 4 specified
/mySL4App: created as an application under website1: with ASP.NET 4.0 specified. IT WORKS
/website2: is a website based on free Portal, has defaultAppPool specified
/mySL4App: created as an application under website2: with ASP.NET 4.0 specified. IT DOESN'T WORK.

In my case, website2 is the Mojo Portal and according to Silverlight people, it works on other sites.

I just can't get it to work on my demo site. Which leads me to wonder if the reason is because I'm running the distribution version of Mojo and that it needs to be compiled with ASP.NET 4 in order for it to work. Could that be the case?

Thanks.

Re: IIS Settings

Hi,

mojoPortal can run fine under .NET 4.0, this site is running under .NET 4.

However, we have separate installation packages compiled specifically for 3.5 and 4.0 .NET, you should install the 4.0 version if you are using 4.0 .NET. Just deploy the 4.0 version of mojoPortal on top of the previous version you installed and then restore your connection string and any other custom settings to the new Web.config file.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: IIS Settings

That was a relief to hear that I just installed the wrong version. I looked at your upgrade info page and thought that since I am doing all this on a clean machine, with virtually no content of my own, I should just start over (for the practice). I just deleted the website, then I deleted the file directory where I copied MojoPortal.

Then I copied the 4.0 version to a new directory and created a new website pointing to that directory.

Now when I try to navigate to the MojoPortal, I get:

500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

doesn't matter if I try to go to the setup directory or directly to a test.htm page in the root. Nothing.

My setup is on a Windows2003 Server with IIS7 on it. Could this be a permissions error? I looked thte permissions associated with the mojoportal website and noted that IIS_IUSERS and NETWORK SERVICE users were not in the list, so I added them with Read&Execute, List folder contents, Read permissions.

Didn't help.

Do you have any suggestions?

Re: IIS Settings

Oh, I also notice that if I try to double click on .NET Compliation, or .NET Profile or any of the ASP.NET icons for the MojoPortal in IIS Manager I get this error:

There was an error while performing this operation.

Details: Filename: \\?\C:Website\ESIPortal.Web.config
Line number: 1076
Error: The configuration section of 'system.web.extensions' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration

I have compared that section to the version in ASP.NET 3.5 that I was able to setup yesterday and they look identical.

Thanks.

Re: IIS Settings

I checked the event log and it did (for once) give me something to work with. The error is:

"Could not load all ISAPI filters for site "ESIPORTAL". Therefore site startup is aborted.

Any suggestions?

Re: IIS Settings

Unbelievable!!! I finally decided to reboot the entire machine instead of just stopping and starting iis. When Idid that, the machine finished doing a bunch of updates. After that, I was able to setup the mojoportal with no problem!

Now if I can just figure out how to get my SL4 app to run I can take the rest of the day off!

Sorry to bother you with my installation problems.

If you provide steps that will reproduce the problem I would try to resolve it but it works correctly so there is nothing for me to resolve. It sounds like something is wrong in your installation, possibly you are missing the default.aspx file in the root.

When you have a question or problem you should not post it on an old thread about an unrelated problem. Nothing else on this thread is about "Page not found". Your question is not related to this thread.

Re: IIS Settings

Joe, something is strange, I don't know where the post that you just replied to (11/9/2011 6:46:28 AM) originated. It wasn't by me. I have noticed some wierdness on my mojoportal website, but I just noticed it and it does not appear to be an issue with mojoportal, but rather my isp. At least, it currently isn't something that I would have even considered bothering you with.
