I have a problem and what I think is the solution. I feel that my solution is not new but don't know of any that have solved the problem the way I would like to. I write custom websites that integrate with an off the shelf cross media platform. We have three installs of this platform. Dev, staging and production. Nothing surprising here...
I'm looking for a way to providing users (administrators) of a web application to automatically (meaning it's opt-in to update, but the installation should be automatic when started) update said web application when new versions are released. The reason why I want an automatic approach is that I want the users to be able to update the ...

This means it's easier to link the file to code updates, etc ... However, the configuration file is stored in /usr/local/etc. There are two solutions I can think of. Store the file in the r...

When installed on a computer without visual studio, I get the following error message in the "Trust Center COM Add-in Manager": "Load Behavior: Not Loaded. The Managed Add-In Loader Failed to Initialize" Detected Dependencies ...
When I try to build my setup project, I get the following error: "An error occurred while validating. HRESULT = '80004005'" (And Microsoft wins an award to clarity.) I Google to find that a small army of developers have had the same problem. Really the error should read: "Could not find a reference in one of your projects." Everyone...
After seeing the Hanselman "You are doing it wrong" video I start to use the Web Publish feature of VS2010. What I'm really missing is that the websites sometimes gives errors while the site is publishing because the feature does not copy the app_offline.htm file to the server. I do not want to start using MSDeploy scripts, because I ...
I have a couple simple rake tasks hosted at github that I would like to push to a remote server. It's essentially just a directory with a few classes and a Rakefile. What would be the best and/or simplest approach for deployment? I'm thinking the simplest might be just to clone the repo on my server and do a git pull whenever there's an...

Does rails really use that much in terms of system resources? Has anyone deployed using scripts, capistrano on hostmonster.com? This is my current .htaccess script. Could writi...

Hi! I have developed an application level add-in for Outlook targeting Outlook 2010 and .NET 4 and I want to run it on Outlook 2007, which should not be a problem due to the new "no pia" feature of .NET 4 (see this blog post). However, after deploying the add-in with my Windows Installer package (the same package works for Outlook 2010...
On a windows mobile 6 or CE5 device, I need to install a CAB file then initiate a reboot. I am aware of custom actions, you need to create a setup.dll for the CAB file in native C++. So I have the following code already made codeINSTALL_EXIT Install_Exit(HWND hwndParent, LPCTSTR pszInstallDir, WORD cFailedDirs, WORD cFailedFiles, WORD...

I'm trying to deploy an ear containing an ejb application into a weblogic 9.2 server. This ear is created using maven (itself using the ear ant task). Maven produces the following structure: myApp.ear - META-INF - application - MANIFEST.MF - dependency-1.jar - dependency-2.jar - ... - dependency-n.jar - myEjb.jar The mani...
We're deploying the same web application multiple times on the same weblogic domain, for multiple test environments. Even though we use different servers and ports, we find it convenient to use different names to easily identify the deployed application. So far, we've put the environment name in the application name, between brackets, ...

When I navigate to the main page, I get the following in my production.log (along with a 500 Internal Server Error from Apache): ActionView::TemplateError (uninitialized constant Haml::Filters::M...
