I created an image uploading app for a client and they want to host it on its own IIS server. When I publish the app to the server I get the error
HTTP Error 500.30 - ASP.NET Core app failed to start
I have installed all the .NET v6 SDK, Runtime and hosting bundle that is needed to host the app.
After looking around on SO and google I was able to run the appNameHere.dll from the command prompt and it runs just fine without showing any errors. When I do that I can open it locally on the server and have the app show up. It's just when it's public facing I get the error.
I have narrowed it down to these few lines of code in the Program.cs file
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions()
{
FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(Path.GetFullPath("\\\\12.34.56.789\\c$\\ABC\\FolderName\\ProjectName\\Images\\ItemImages\\")),
RequestPath = new PathString("/ItemImages")
});
When I comment these out, the app shows up fine and works, but I can't get the files from the other site.
I can also set up a folder locally in the "C:\UnitImages" and everything works as well.
I created a shared connection to the main server to test the path as well and it works there too. So I'm a bit lost on where to go next.
Update
As stated in one of the links from #Code Maverick I have updated the Application Pool Identity to the user that has full access to the folders and I still get the Error that's stated above.
I came across this article and tried it but I'm getting an error 'NetworkConnection' is a namespace but is used like a type
repo for ref.
var sourceCredentials = new NetworkCredential { Domain = "12.34.56.789", UserName = "Administrator", Password = "123456" };
using (new NetworkConnection("\\\\12.34.56.789\\c$\\ABC\\FolderName\\ProjectName\\Images\\UnitImages\\", sourceCredentials))
{
// to serve static froms from \\network\shared location
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions()
{
FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(Path.GetFullPath("\\\\12.34.56.789\\c$\\ABC\\FolderName\\ProjectName\\Images\\UnitImages\\")),
RequestPath = new PathString("/UnitImages")
});
}
Based on this and this, you may need to provide IIS_IUSRS group the ability to write to the share.
You personally may be able to access the share, but your web application hosted within IIS needs the same access privilege. This does have security implications though.

This is frustratingly weird. I'm suddenly getting this error in Production, but not locally in development.
Specs:
.Net Core 3.1
IIS 10
Access to the path '\\[network share]\Files\Video' is denied.
It occurs when this method is called:
public Task<bool> UploadAsync()
{
if (request.Metadata.ChunkIndex == 0)
{
if (!Directory.Exists(request.Metadata.UploadLocation))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(request.Metadata.UploadLocation);
}
}
var fixedFileName = FileManager.FixFileName(request.Metadata.FileName);
var basePath = Path.Combine(request.Metadata.UploadLocation, PARTIALS);
if (!Directory.Exists(basePath))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(basePath);
}
var filePath = Path.Combine(basePath, fixedFileName);
AppendToFile(filePath, request.File);
return Task.FromResult(true);
}
... and this line is called:
Directory.CreateDirectory(request.Metadata.UploadLocation)
It seems like it's due to some missing permission with IIS and the web application, since it works when I run the application in IISExpress.
And this is important, the application in both cases is pointing to the same network share location to drop the video file.
So it seems like any permissions on the network share folder is correct, but IIS can't access it. That's my theory, but my network administrator says he hasn't changed anything with the application's app pool, so I don't have any other ideas.
Any ideas what is causing this issue?
According to your description and error codes, it seems this is related with permission issue.
To solve this issue, I suggest you could firstly modify the IIS application pool identity with a user which have the enough permission to access the network share and try again. If this is working well, this is related with the application pool identity account permission.
More details about how to modify the application pool identity permission, you could refer to this answer.
I have an internal ASP.NET MVC site that needs to read an Excel file. The file is on a different server from the one that ASP.NET MVC is running on and in order to prevent access problems I'm trying to copy it to the ASP.NET MVC server.
It works OK on my dev machine but when it is deployed to the server it can't see the path.
This is the chopped down code from the model (C#):
string fPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(#"/virtualdir");
string fName = fPath + "test.xlsm";
if (System.IO.File.Exists(fName))
{
// Copy the file and do what's necessary
}
else
{
if (!Directory.Exists(fPath))
throw new Exception($"Directory not found: {fPath} ");
else
throw new Exception($"File not found: {fName } ");
}
The error I'm getting is
Directory not found:
followed by the path.
The path in the error is correct - I've copied and pasted it into explorer and it resolves OK.
I've tried using the full UNC path, a mapped network drive and a virtual directory (as in the code above). Where required these were given network admin rights (to test only!) but still nothing has worked.
The internal website is using pass through authentication but I've used specific credentials with full admin rights for the virtual directory, and the virtual dir in IIS expands OK to the required folder.
I've also tried giving the application pool (which runs in Integrated mode) full network admin rights.
I'm kind of hoping I've just overlooked something simple and this isn't a 'security feature'.
I found this question copy files between servers asp.net mvc but the answer was to use FTP and I don't want to go down that route if I can avoid it.
Any assistance will be much appreciated.
First, To be on the safe side that your directory is building correctly, I would use the Path.Combine.
string fName = Path.Combine(fPath, "test.xlsm")
Second, I would check the following post and try some things there as it seems to be a similar issue.
Directory.Exists not working for a network path
If you are still not able to see the directory, there is a good chance the user does not have access to that network path. Likely what happened is the app pool running your application has access to the directory on the server. The production box likely doesn't have that same access. You would have to get with the network engineer to get that resolved.
Alternatively, you could write a Powershell script to run as a user who has access to both the production and the development server to copy the file over to the production server if that is your ultimate goal and your server administrators could schedule it for you if that is allowed in your environment.
I'm following the Using Cloud Datastore with .NET tutorial. At some point it says that you can run the provided project locally by just pressing F5. When I do that I get the following exception
Grpc.Core.RpcException: 'Status(StatusCode=PermissionDenied, Detail="Missing or insufficient permissions.")'
This exception is thrown exactly at the _db.RunQuery(query) line.
var query = new Query("Book") { Limit = pageSize };
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(nextPageToken))
query.StartCursor = ByteString.FromBase64(nextPageToken);
var results = _db.RunQuery(query);`
If I deploy the application to cloud it works as expected, no error. I've given datastore owner permissions to all accounts in Cloud IAM (Identity and Access Management) but it still doesn't work. Does anybody have any ideas?
As Jon Skeet pointed out, I was using the wrong json key locally. Previously I created a compute engine that has a separate service account. After I downloaded a new json key from Console -> IAM & Admin -> Service Accounts it worked locally as well.
I have developed a program that talks with Xero in .NET. When I run the program from VS, it communicates with Xero and works without a problem but when I publish the web application, it cannot make communication with Xero.
The error I get is 'An Internal Error Occurred' relating to the Xero Certificate yet when I run it from VS it does work without a problem.
The certificate are inside a folder.
X509Certificate2 privateCertificate = new X509Certificate2(#"C:\SSLCertificate\\public_privatekey.pfx", "XXXXXX");
IOAuthSession consumerSession = new XeroApiPrivateSession("MyAPITestSoftware", "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", privateCertificate);
consumerSession.MessageLogger = new DebugMessageLogger();
Thanks
Saj
More than likely the user the web app is executing under doesn't have access to that directory.
Look at your IIS configuration then give the application pool identity read access to the C:\SSLCertificate\ directory.
i have made window application, which checks new announcements on sharepoint 2007 site, if any new announcemnt is found it shows it as link in my win application.
application is running fine on my server machine, but when i try to run my window application from normal machine it gives me:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The
Web application at
http://Server-Name:Port-Num/lists/announcements/Allitems.aspx could not be found. Verify that you
have typed the URL correctly. If the
URL should be serving existing
content, the system administrator may
need to add a new request URL mapping
to the intended application.
this machine exists on LAN, as i can access site from my browser, but when it comes to win application it gives me the above error on following line:
string rawurl = "http://192.168.1.105:1625/";
SPSite site = new SPSite(rawurl); // this line gives error
It should throw an exception because the Server Object Model you are using like SPSite, SPWeb will not work unless it's on the server either web application or windows application.
If you want to get data from a remote sharepoint server you should use SharePoint Web Services.

make sure the alternate access mapping is correctly set
so if you can call a page with multiple name (machine name and alias like xxxx73 and portauat) note that may only one works in visual studio so try to fix mapping in central admin or call the page with default main url.
for me noting this small tip, fix my problem in my Sharepoint 2010 UAT environment
