Web update error

[NewsArchive]

Friedrich,

More data turned up. The 0018 file is actually a new file (one that did not
exist in the prior version). It's a new DLL actually.

Would this have any effect on updates?

Did some testing. Installed the new build (with new files) using the
regular install. Then built the web update project and uploaded. Still
getting the error on the last file, and always the last file. It was worth
a shot. ;-)

Actually, it's the last two files that are not being found,
ProjectName.00018 and ProjectName.00019, but the 18 file is the one giving
the error. I even reshuffled the order so the actual file is different. No
difference.

I checked the permissions of the file and its folder, it is no different
than the others. It *is* there, but the update thinks that it can't get to
this file (not there or permissions problem).

Think I need to open a support ticket at my provider since I have no access
to the log files.

Now to wait up to 6 hours. :-(

Hi Russ,

I have created and uploaded a "quick and dirty" 90 cluster file test.

http://www.lindersoft.com/projects/russ/webtestforruss.exe

This will download and install 90 cluster files (include Clarion DLLs)
directly from the web to c:\web_test_for_russ

Works without any problem (even from a non-Windows Apache powered server
<g>)

18 cluster files is, well, a sweet little web install <g>. It's not a
project that would cause any high-load on your server or network. Think of
web install projects with 6,000-7,000 cluster files and the web install has
to power 1,000+ users concurrently.

Try this one: create a new simple project as a web install (Web
Deployment -> Enable Web Installation). Package all C60*.dll files from
your Clarion \Bin folder. This will create around 90 cluster files (~8MB).
Upload the stuff and run the test to download/install from your server.
Does it still fail on your last file?

Uploading now, this could take a while <g>

Perhaps they gave you a "limited" IIS server that only allows to download 18
files <g> Or 00018 is not a valid MIME type in your case. Can you download
that 00018 cluster file via Internet Explorer?

Hi Russ,

Here we go. This is what Internet Explorer reports for your 00018 file.
00001-00017 is okay, everything above 000018 does not work on your IIS
server. So you have a classic MIME problem.

Does this help?

Yeah, looks that way. So what is the solution to this again? Add *.* to
IIS?

Yes, the *.* MIME type should do the job.

I'll have the support techs add it as I don't have access to these settings.
When the support reps respond.

Get a better host and youll have access to such things.

I have to weigh that against the pain of switching providers and all the
ripple effects that causes. I think it was you that recommended GoDaddy

I wouldnt ever have done that for general Windows hosting. I would for
domain names or those wanting to spend low bux for NTWS hosting.

I noticed this in the compiler log:



But to answer your question, no. I cannot download directly from a web browser. Nor can I do 19 and 20 (the last two files). I can download 17.

Hi Russ,

No, this is 0018.lib is just a library that is linked directly into the
setup.exe (similar to a c60runx.lib that compiles into an executable).

You have a MIME problem because even Internet Explorer can't download the
files .00018 and above.

Even worse is when *lame* web dashboards (and when is one not lame?) give
you no access to these settings.

Absolutely. And then they allow you to download only the .00001 - .00017
file extensions and deny access to .00018 and above. Does not make any
sense to me <g>. All these stupid admins are killing me <g>

Fixed. It was a MIME issue. I had a custom web.config file that went up
to, you guessed it - 17. Did not need any web interfaces at all. Just my
ftp program in edit mode.

Updates are now happening.

Hey, you are a big guy, now, why do you depend on someone else for
that? Get yourself a virtual server and be merry...

I write code and teach others how to do that for a living, not administer
servers. Besides, already solved the issue.

And web based apps still suck (but I still have to use them)<g>.
