I am attempting to create seperate workflow instances as applications in IIS7 using the Microsoft.Web.Administration dll. When it attempts to add the Application to the Site ApplicationsCollection I get a COM error: "Invalid application path\r\n"
using (ServerManager manager = new ServerManager())
{
var site = manager.Sites.Where(x => x.Name == Properties.Settings.Default.WorkflowWebsiteName).Single();
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder()
.Append(m_workflowDefinition.AccountId)
.Append("/")
.Append(m_workflowDefinition.WorkflowDefinitionId)
.Append("/")
.Append(m_workflowDefinition.Version)
.Append("/");
string virtualPath = stringBuilder.ToString();
string physicalPath = Properties.Settings.Default.ApplicationPoolString +
virtualPath.Replace("/", "\\");
if (!Directory.Exists(physicalPath)) Directory.CreateDirectory(physicalPath);
//Create the workflow service definition file
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(Path.Combine(physicalPath, m_workflowDefinition.WorkflowName + WORKFLOW_FILE_EXTENSION)))
{
writer.Write(m_workflowDefinition.Definition);
}
//Copy dependencies
string dependencyPath = m_workflowDefinition.DependenciesPath;
CopyAll(new DirectoryInfo(dependencyPath), new DirectoryInfo(physicalPath));
//Create a new IIS application for the workflow
var apps = site.Applications.Where(x => x.Path == virtualPath);
if (apps.Count() > 0)
{
site.Applications.Remove(apps.Single());
}
Application app = site.Applications.Add(virtualPath, physicalPath);
app.ApplicationPoolName = "Workflow AppPool";
app.EnabledProtocols = PROTOCOLS;
manager.CommitChanges();
}
The value assigned to virtualPath is like: "something/something/something" and for physicalPath it is "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Workflow\something\something\something". Any ideas?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
