phing 2.4.1 (current stable version) doesn't have an SSH Task to do remote scripting. In the current trunk version, there is a SSH Task that we would like to use. How can I upgrade my current phing installation (2.4.1) to the latest build? Can I use pear for that without breaking my current phing install? Or would it be better to downl...

Hi, I've got an ASP.NET application that I installed by creating a web setup. I ran into a problem where ASP.NET wasn't registered with IIS so it gave me a "installation was interrupted" message that told me exactly nothing. Anyhow, I finally got it installed, and I can access the main page, but it's telling me that my class isn't defin...

Question: I created an ASP.NET web application. Now it originally was meant for deployment on a webserver. That is working, so, so far so good. My question now is: Is it possible to deploy it as a desktop-application, too? That is to say the installer installs some kind of server, plus the web application, configures the server to run...
We use git for most of the web applications we build in our shop, and though the applications themselves use a variety of technologies (PHP, Rails, etc), we generally have a staging and production server for each site. Typically, these servers have different sets of database credentials as well as different environment-based configurati...
Question: I have a web setup project. It installs the webapp and puts it into the appropriate virtual directory. So far so good. My question now is: how do I set folder write permission? My problem is, I can set the permissions programmatically, but I need to know the IIS user the application runs under, since it's that user that need t...

I'm using VS2010 with the Web Deployment Projects to create a release package for my web application. In WDP I have created some build tasks to for example transform the web.config, create some directories and remove some files.
