setting up asp.net server

Hello,

Sorry for complete newbie-ness:
1) Can I not just copy the whole myapp directory out of the wwwroot on my local machine and put it in the same location on the server?

2) If not, do I have to go through the process of creating a deploy/release project?

3) If so, I tried that (selecting "Primary OUtput" and "Content files" in the process) and it creates two dirs "Debug" and Release". The only purported .msi fil is in the "Debug" directory along with a Setup.exe and a setup.ini...

.. then I run the "Release MyApp.msi" file on the target (new) server and it creates a directory MyApp with one sub dir "bin" and three DLLs... which encompass the class libraries... nothing apparently related to the web-part of the solution.

Is this overkill? Does it sound like I messed up?

Help!

tx,

k

Hi Phil,

that was useful... I used the Proect / Copy option, and it worked much better... I still get the same error though:

"ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name"

Now, I can successfully connect to the database via TOAD and other methods on that server, so I know the database and tnsnames file configuration is fine.

ONe clue is for some reason I also got the same error on my development machine, I rebuilt the project and that same error went away. I had never previously or since received that tnsnames error.

Any thoughts on that?

thank you,

kyle

Have you tried Googling for that error message?

If you can connect via TOAD or SQL Plus is sounds like a permissions problem on the Oracle folder. See if the following helps:

Problem Description
-------------------

When running an application using the Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) install
of client software and that attempts to connect to an Oracle database with the
Authenticated User privilege (such as when you use Microsoft's Internet
Information Server (IIS)) through any of the following programmatic interfaces

1. Oracle Provider for OLE DB
2. Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle
3. Oracle ODBC Driver
4. Microsoft ODBC for Oracle
5. Oracle Objects for OLE (OO4O)
6. Microsoft .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle


you may receive one of the following errors:

Solution Description
--------------------

Oracle 9.2 Client software requires that you give the Authenticated User
privilege to the Oracle Home by following these steps:

1. Log on to Windows as a user with Administrator privileges.

2. Launch Windows Explorer from the Start Menu and and navigate to the
ORACLE_HOME folder. This is typically the "Ora92" folder under the
"Oracle" folder (i.e. D:\Oracle\Ora92).

3. Right-click on the ORACLE_HOME folder and choose the "Properties" option
from the drop down list. A "Properties" window should appear.

4. Click on the "Security" tab of the "Properties" window.

5. Click on "Authenticated Users" item in the "Name" list (on Windows XP
the "Name" list is called "Group or user names").

6. Uncheck the "Read and Execute" box in the "Permissions" list under the
"Allow" column (on Windows XP the "Permissions" list is called
"Permissions for Authenticated Users").

7. Re-check the "Read and Execute" box under the "Allow" column (this is
the box you just unchecked).

8. Click the "Advanced" button and in the "Permission Entries" list make
sure you see the "Authenticated Users" listed there with:

Permission = Read & Execute
Apply To = This folder, subfolders and files

If this is NOT the case, edit that line and make sure the "Apply onto"
drop-down box is set to "This folder, subfolders and files". This
should already be set properly but it is important that you verify this.

9. Click the "Ok" button until you close out all of the security properties
windows. The cursor may present the hour glass for a few seconds as it
applies the permissions you just changed to all subfolders and files.

10. Reboot your computer to assure that these changes have taken effect.


Re-execute the application and it should now work.


Explanation
-----------

If you install Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) on a computer running Windows
with an NTFS partition, the contents of ORACLE_HOME directory will not be
visible to users who are authenticated on that machine. These permissions
were not set properly when the software was installed.

Applications that were working fine with previous versions of Oracle software
will stop working when they upgrade to Oracle 9.2.

NOTE: The application will continue to work if the user has logged onto the
machine as an Administrator.

Any application that is using the Authenticated User privilege will not work.
A notable example would be IIS which might service some of the requests based
on the Authenticated User privileges.

To demonstrate the problem in further detail, you can log on to the operating
system as an authenticated machine user. You won't be able browse the contents
of the ORACLE_HOME directory demonstrating your inability to load any Oracle DLLs
or make a connection.


Additional Information
----------------------

The above error messages may not only be encountered when using Oracle 9.2
client software but may also exists when running into general permissions
issues using third party products on a Windows platform.
