How to repair IIS mapping after you remove and reinstall IIS

SUMMARY

After you install the Microsoft .NET Framework Software Development Kit (SDK), Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002, Visual Studio .NET 2003, or Visual Studio 2005, Microsoft Internet Information Service (IIS) mappings are created to associate the new file extensions and settings for ASP.NET. If you did not have IIS installed when you ran the SDK or Visual Studio Setup, or if you uninstalled and reinstalled IIS after you ran the SDK or Visual Studio Setup, those settings will not be in place. You experience unexpected behavior when you try to view ASP.NET pages.

When you try to create a new ASP.NET Web application in Visual Studio .NET 2003, you receive the following error message:
Visual Studio .NET has detected that the specified Web server is not running ASP.NET version 1.1. You will be unable to run ASP.NET Web applications or services.


MORE INFORMATION

To fix IIS mappings for ASP.NET, run the Aspnet_regiis.exe utility:
1.Click Start, and then click Run.
2.In the Open text box, type cmd, and then press ENTER.
3.At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:
"%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\version\aspnet_regiis.exe" -i
In this path, version represents the version number of the .NET Framework that you installed on your server. You must replace this placeholder with the actual version number when you type the command.


REFERENCES

For more information about the Aspnet_regiis.exe utility, run this .exe file with -? as an argument.

Windows Live Writer у Блогері

При публікуванні записів у свій ЖЖ  я використовую Semagic. А от щоб написати щось у Блогер я змушений був користуватись веб мордою яку надає Блогер. Додавання запису у мене займає приблизно годину, що мене дуже не тішить. Промоніторивши нет я знайшов Windows Live Writer. І тепер у мене є нормальний кліент для постання топіків.

П.С. Даний запис створено у Windows Live Writer

Створення Самба сервера на основі Ubuntu

Встановлення Убунту Сервера

1 Загружаємось з дистрибутивного диску.

Вибираємо Install Ubuntu Server.

2. Вибираємо мову

3. Інсталятор визначає розкладку клавіатури.

4. Вибираємо спосіб перемикання між різними мовами

5. Обзиваємо наш сервер (у мому випадку я вибрав стандартну назву ubuntu)

6. Конфігуруємо часовий пояс нашого сервера

7. Розмічаємо диск. ( я вибрав використання суцільно диску)

8. Створюємо користувача під яким ми будемо працювати

9. Вибираємо ролі сервера ( в даному випадку було створено DNS, LAMP і Samba сервери)

  • - створюємо пароль для MySQL

10. Завершаємо встановлення сервера.

11. Перша загрузка нашого сервера.

12. Оновлюємо систему. Apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get clean

13. Перевіряємо доступність нашої машини з мережі

( у мому випадку вмене настроїний DHCP сервер тому мережа настроїлась автоматично підчас встановлення)

  • - Ping по ІР і по імені машини.
  • - Пробуємо добратись до шар нашого сервера

14.Настроюємо sshd, пробуємо законектитись з віддаленої машини з допомогою якогось ssh кліента я раджу putty http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/, у випадку успішого завантаження ховаємо сервер у важкодоступне місце подалі від користувачів. А адмінимо його через ssh. Для полегшення собі роботи ставимо собі Webmin. І адмінимо сервер через веб-морду. http://www.webmin.com

!!! Не рекомендується використовувати просунутим користувачам.

Настроювання Самби. Приклад розроблений для використання юзерських хоумів для зберігання даних. (для прикладу це дозволить настроїти дискові квоти для користувачів)

1. Заходимо в /etc/samba/ копіюємо всі файли у безпечну директорію J

2. Стираємо вміст файлу smb.conf

3. Заповнюємо його наступним чином

[global]

workgroup = <Тут вводимо назву своєї воркгрупи>

[homes]

guest ok = no // для доступу до шари потрібно ввести логін і пароль

read only = no // дозволяє записувати файли

4. Перевіряємо наші параметри наступноє командою

testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf

Migration in Helm 4

There are 2 ways to perform migration in Helm:

1. Migrate hosting resources from remote box A to remote box B, both managed by Control Panel server C.

2. Migrate hosting resources and Control Panel from CP box A to new CP box B.


For option One, perform the following:

1) Go to the Helm Configuration Tool and add remote server B credentials to "Server Access List" on CP server C.
In Helm Configuration Tool add CP server C credentials to "Server Access List" on remote server B.

2) In Helm Control Panel on CP server, go to Home -> Helm System -> Servers and add a new remote server B
and add all services for server B.

3) Go to $Helm installation dir$\Helm4\Tools on CP server C and launch HelmBackupAndRestoreTool.exe

4) Choose the "Migrate From" field on the "Migrate" tab, choose server A name and the service you want to migrate
(in the "Items" field you can choose if you want to migrate all the items of the service or the selected ones only).
In the "Migrate To" field, choose server B name and the service to be migrated (services should be of the same type).

5) Click "Migrate".
Note: If you want to migrate more services, perform steps 4-5 for all the services you wish to migrate, as you can migrate only 1 service at a time.

6) Copy all content of the services to remote server B manually.

Migration is completed.


For Option two, perform the following:

1) Go to the Helm Configuration Tool on CP server B, add CP server A credentials to "Server Access List".
In Helm Configuration Tool on CP server A, add CP server B credentials to "Server Access List" .

2) In Helm Control Panel on CP server A, go to Home > Helm System > Servers and add server B and add all the services and resources for server B.

3) Go to $Helm installation dir$\Helm4\Tools on A server and launch HelmBackupAndRestoreTool.exe

4) Choose the "Migrate From" field on the "Migrate" tab and choose server A name and service you want to migrate
(in the "Items" field you can choose if you want to migrate all the items of the service or the selected ones only).
In the "Migrate To" field choose server B name and service to be migrated (services should be of the same type)

5) Click "Migrate".
Note: To migrate more services perform steps 4-5 for all the services you wish to migrate, as you can migrate only 1 service a time.

6) Copy all content of the services to CP server B manually.

7) Back up Helm database on the CP server A and restore it on CP server B.

8) Once all the resources were migrated on CP server B, you can remove server A from Home > Helm System > Servers and server A IP from Home > Helm System > IP Addresses in Helm Control Panel on CP server B.

Migration is completed.

Change server IP Error in Helm

В даний момент HELM не коректно працює коли на серваку встановлено відмінну від англійської локаль. Сіквел сервак не привильно обробляє дату і врезультаті ми отримуємо високо інформативну помилку:

UpdateServerEX 00000000070 Permission Denied{0}

Вирішення проблеми:

1. Просимо юзера поміняти локаль і спосіб відображення дати і тоді спокійно міняється ІР
2. якщо нам треба терміново пофіксати ситуацію заходимо в сіквеловську базу, знаходимо таблицю dbo.Server і міняємо руками ІР.
