I am working on Maximo Anywhere 7.6.1.
I get an error trying to clone an app because the script is trying to copy the platform-artifact folder, which is actually not even there under the file structure D:\eclipse\MaximoAnywhere761\MaximoAnywhere\apps\WorkExecution.
Has anyone seen this? For what it is worth, I also removed the "platform-artifacts" Resource Filer as suggested by Scott Dickerson from another post.

I have a website I'm publishing in Visual Studio. It's publishing using the File System method, and I've selected the option to delete all existing files before publish.
Is there a method that will exclude two specific files from deletion? Both of these files exist in the root of the website folder.
I've tried editing the .pubxml file that is created by Visual Studio to include a "MsDeploySkipRules" option but it never seems to work, no matter what settings I've selected. I've also tried to turn "UsMsDeployExe" on and noticed no difference.
I am sorry I don't have the exact answer for what you have asked.
But there is a work around to achieve what you want. see if this helps
You can include those 2 files into your solution and then set the properties
Build Action = content
Copy to output Directory = Always
This way you will always gets same copies in your publishing directory
Hope this helps!

I have deployed my project to Azure. In my project I have "App_Data\Images" folder.
Now I'm trying to do the following:
String filename = GLOBAL_IMAGES_VALS.GET_FILE_PREFIX(imageType) + "-" + User.Identity.GetUserId<int>().ToString() + Path.GetExtension(image.FileName);
String origPath = Server.MapPath("~\\App_Data")+"\\Images\\" + filename;
But then upon trying:
image.SaveAs(origPath);
I get this error message:
Could not find a part of the path
'D:\home\site\wwwroot\App_Data\Images\logo-10003065.jpg'.
How can I save my file to "App_Data\Images\"?
The actual problem was that the sub-folder 'Images' did not exist. I can't remember why the publish process did not create this sub-folder, however I added it manually and then everything worked fine.
EDIT:
As others wrote here (#Spectarion). I'll put here the important remark that explain why the folder was not created:
Just for the future readers, folder won't be created if it's empty.
Folder is empty even if there are files that are not included in
project.
Just put some 'fake.txt' file into any folder you want to make sure that it will be created, and of course don't forget to add it to the project. Good luck.
Since you don't have any file in the particular folder, while publishing Web deploy ignores the empty folder.
Quick fix: Add any file to the folder before publishing will fix this issue.
if (!Directory.Exists(Server.MapPath("~/Images")))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(Server.MapPath("~/Images"));
}
The directory might be missing in the folder. Create the directory and use it in file path
Maybe this :
System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~\\App_Data")+"\\Images\\" + filename )
Maybe the images folder doesn't exist and you need to create it first? Although I wouldn't recommend saving images in your app like this if it is designed for people uploading images. I would save them in Azure storage via blobs or the new Azure File storage. I would keep your app deployment files clean just related to your app and save any user generated content outside of it.
BTW, If you are using Azure Web Apps you can use the environment variable of "HOME" to always get the correct path (which should be D:\home)
string path = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("HOME") +
"\\site\\wwwroot\\App_Data\\images"
I assume your AppData folder is just under the wwwroot folder, which is usually the case.
Try this:
HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(Path.Combine("~/AppData/Images/", filename));
I just had this problem on VS15. I first followed the advice in this question in order to generate the error you've got. I'm guessing this follows in part dsb's answer, but dsb hasnt given any description of the actual process of fixing this.
I then went to https://<mywebsite>.scm.azurewebsites.net/DebugConsole to look through the directory and found that App_Data had not been published
Which was why the error was throwing. So, I then solved this by simply going to the solution explorer, right clicking App_Dataand selecting to "Publish App_Data".
However, my website was a short-term academic effort for a project - I think there is probably a lot to be said for considering Matt Watsons answer above about whether or not allowing users to upload to the deployment area is a good idea
While I have found the updated hash files to be added to WordPress, I have had a terrible time locating anything that gives specific direction as to where this file goes and exactly how to add it. Should it be added via a single file created with notepad, or should it be placed in a folder? I apologize if this sounds elementary, but this is a completely new adventure for me.
I found that the hash values for the files are provided but the file itself has to be created with the name of the file it says it is missing. Once that is created, move the file into the plugin itself and rerun the scan.
I have very strange problem and I don't even know why it occurs. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
So i have created new website in VB2012. Then i've created new folder and uploaded everything on my host. But this folder is missing on the server. Why is that and how to fix it? Do i need to create desired folders on my host manually?
Folder named "photos" added in my website project
Folder is missing on the server when I upload that project
Empty directories are not published when using Visual Studio.
The top answer to this question regarding a similar issue suggests a workaround:
You need to create a placeholder.txt file in each empty directory if you want the precompilation tool to generate these empty folders. Failing that you can create a command line app that will create the folders in your post build events (but only if you are using web application project not web site project).
From my experience VS won't publish an empty folder. As a workaround we always put a dummy file in the folder to ensure that it gets copied over. Something like "placeholder.txt"
I have a website saved in Dropbox folder and I successfully worked on it for days without any problems with publishing. When I opened that site today in WebMatrix on another computer, I had to configure publishing settings again off course. I did that and tried to publish the site with only one file modified, but I was surprised when I saw all files in the publish dialog marked for upload.
One thing came to my mind - to copy site configuration from first to second computer so that second computer has information about already uploaded files and continues to publish just the modified ones, but I don't know if the site configuration is stored in file or registry or something else...
So, before I start digging I decided to ask the wise ones here :)
I found it in following location:
C:\Users\Username\Documents\IISExpress\config\PublishUI
When you try to make a new publish setting there is a link where you can say you want to import old settings. This looks for files with an extension called .PublishSettings or .XML, so I would start by searching your pc for files with that extension. I would imagine the .xml file would have your sites name in it's filename, so that is worth a shot as well :)
This should be enough. If not I am looking forward to hearing what others say or you can dig up yourself.
