Re: Build once, MSDeploy all over the place

Sukanta — Thu, 06 Apr 2017 07:31:30 -0000

Hi Cromwell,
Thanks for this post.
I would like to create application specific AppPool (e.g – Test) & assign it to the website either by webdeploy package creation process (via setparameters.xml file). How to do that. I have tried below options, but still no luck. Appreciate your quick help on this

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTION 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Action taken to resolve this issue:
------------------------------------------------------
Created parameters.xml file in the same project and did the following changes. I can see that the AppPool Name is reflected in SetParameters.xml file. But, this AppPool is NOT created on IIS once the deployment is finished.

------------------------------------------------------
parameters.xml
------------------------------------------------------
<parameter name="Application Pool" description="Enter the name of the application pool." defaultvalue="Test" tags="AppPoolConfig">
<parameterentry kind="ProviderPath" scope="appPoolConfig" match="Test"/>
<parameterentry kind="DeploymentObjectAttribute" scope="appHostConfig" match="application/@applicationPool"/>
</parameter>

------------------------------------------------------
DemoSample.SetParameters.xml
------------------------------------------------------
<parameters>
<setparameter name="Application Pool" value="Test"/>
</parameters>

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTION 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Action taken to resolve this issue:
------------------------------------------------------
I also added below MSBuild Commands in MSBUILD. No luck yet
/p:IncludeIisSettings=true /p:IncludeAppPool=true

Thanks & Regards,
Sukanta Ghorui

Thanks for this - very useful in learning how the process works. It's not exactly the most obvious and easy of processes when you have to recover a TFS system from a failed server.

Is there any code you could share that would expand this to include selecting an image file and writing it to the table? I keep finding incomplete examples and being a newbie to this whole this I'm strugling.

Thanks A ton.

we didnt wrap the first item in a controller, just bound the grids horizontal scroller to the X element of the transform. only works intermittently with our client though.

This is a great solution. And it's MVVM compliant as well.
Thanks a lot.

Re: Installing Erlang 17 for Elixir 0.13 the easy way (Mac)

After downloading erlang, i got an error massage in the terminal (OS X Yosemite).

Man pages can be found in:

/usr/local/opt/erlang/lib/erlang/man

Access them with `erl -man`, or add this directory to MANPATH.

Not sure if erlang installed. How to fix this?

Great post. I very much agree with you that the Dayton tech scene is thriving. I'm excited to be a part of it and contribute. Thanks for taking the time to speak tonight at the web developers meetup.

Fantastic article! Though the formatting makes it hard to read with all the vertical scrolling :/

you mean like a 3-way diff? I'm not sure.

David — Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:30:53 -0000

Can this be done with multiple forks or just one at a time ?

Really sorry about the long delay. I'm not in TFS mode. As long as you're not restoring the Configuration dbs and do an appropriate backup/restore through the tooling you should be good. AFAIK, the attach/restore will remove all TFS configuration db instance information from the TPC. Host files is a great idea to verify though!

Steve — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 16:51:30 -0000

How would these steps differ if I was cloning production TFS to a dev instance of TFS on the same domain? To eliminate cross-talk, I have a HOSTS file setup on both dev and production machines that loop back to localhost if a connection attempt is made to one of the other boxes.

Yeah I was completely lazy on the post. Trying to break out of a funk and get momentum again.

Re: Find Contact Shortcut in Skype for Mac

cromwellryan — Tue, 26 Nov 2013 23:10:17 -0000

Factually I switched over to cmd+/ to keep with my other search mnemonics. Cmd+f conflicted with the in message content search iirc.

I'm also curious why you chose `CMD+SHIFT+F` instead of `CMD+F`.
