Can somebody point me to a resource that explains how to go about having 2+ IIS web server clustered (or Webfarm not sure what its called) ? All I need is something basic, an overview how and where to start. Can't seem to find anything... ...
There's alot of information out there on setting up LAMP stacks on a single box, or perhaps moving MySQL onto it's own box, but growing beyond that doesn't seem to be very well documented. My current web environment is having capacity issues, and so I'm looking for best-practices regarding configuration tuning, determining bottlenecks, ...
The ASP.NET application that I am currently responsible for at my day job has hit its limit in terms of its ability to scale inside a single server. Obviously we are working toward moving session out of process and the test and hopefully deploy date draws near. I would like to draw on the experiencies of people using the built in load ba...
How do most people handle updating ASP.NET applications running in a webfarm? I am having the problem that because the app is in use and the request affitnity is not sticky, when we push the update users run into errors as the process requests the request might be handled by the wrong version of the application. How do you do this? Take...
Hi all, This problem has several of us stumped in the office. We are all new to deploying ASP.NET apps to a web farm, and I am fresh out of ideas. We have a web farm, and the application is copied on to all of them. However, we are having a problem.. An exception is being thrown when trying to get settings from appSettings. Upon furth...
Here's the idea: you commit your code to a repository and call a web service (or enter the request through a web app) to have it compiled. The results are then pushed up to a FTP server, S3 bucket, etc. Is there anything like this out there on the public internet? TFS has a build queuing feature, but I'm thinking more along the lines ...
First of all to give you a bit of background on the current environment. We have a number of ASP.NET applications, all of which use session for certain aspects. We are "Load Balanced" over multiple servers due to traffic levels, however, our load balancing is set to use "Sticky Sessions" as currently all web applications are set to use...
I'm looking for a way to move files from my machine to several servers on a web farm. I currently use beyond compare to move the files over; one BC session for each server on the farm. I'm fine with this because BC is fast and I like the control I have. Our business gave me a new requirement of automatic file distribution of images. I...
I was wondering what do i need to get my asp.net web application installed on multiple server, having them working as a one piece. Thanks in advance, ...
UPDATE: looks like I've misunderstood what TempData is for and what it isn't. It definitively shouldn't be used to "keep certain session-wide data" as I asked initially (see ASP.NET MVC TempData Is Really RedirectData why). I've modified the question accordingly. Has anyone used CookieTempDataProvider for TempData storage? Are there any...
What is the best way to maintain a user's session state in an ASP.NET MVC app hosted on a web farm? Out application currently uses the standard ASP.NET session on IIS 6.0 but we want to move the app to a web farm environment. I have read that we can use SQL Server session state for our application but I just want to know if anybody was...
Hello, I'm writing an ASP.Net Web Application that can be deployed to Web Farms. I've written some code to update a few config options (AD Membership server, Selected Theme, etc), but now i'm wondering how can they be synchronized between multiple servers? It looks like sharepoint has a feature to manage those scenarios, but i have no c...
We have an ASP web application with a page that makes calls from the client to internal web service methods. Everything works fine when we deploy the application onto our local test server. However, when we deploy the application to our shared hosting provider (specifically, godaddy using their grid hosting web farm plan), calls to the ...
I wanted to know if it is possible for ISA to detect if a web server is giving out a 500 error and can stop requests to the server. I found an option for it to check for port 80 and if it doesn't reply, it would stop but no scenario for when an error happens. Also, in my case I redirect to a specific page to display the error. Can I ...
Dear All, Help me how to solve this problem. Error Time : 20091104 151412 Error Message : Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster. Source : Sys...

What issues do I need to be aware of when I'm deploying an ASP.NET application as a web farm? ...
We have developed a number of custom approval workflows in visual studio 2008. They basically create task and work through a 2 stage approval process, once a task is completed, it generates new tasks for stage 2, then completes. These have been tested and work well in a single server moss/sharepoint environment. We have now moved them ...
Our current project at work is a new MVC web site that will use a WCF service primarily to access a 3rd party billing system via a web service as well as a small SQL database for user personalization. The WCF service uses nHibernate for the SQL database. We'd like to implement some sort of web farm for load balancing as well as failove...
Scenario: The infrastructure that a website is built on consists of a web farm fronted with ISA servers, these ISA servers terminate the SSL of any given website and the requests between the ISA server and the IIS7 servers are always over port 80 (http). Therefore: Customer > [https] > ISA > [http] > WebFarm(IIS) Question: Is it possib...
