I am trying to connect my Microsoft Project Professional 2013 with Microsoft Project Server 2013 but following error keeps popping up.
Unfortunately I can't tell you why exactly you are getting that error, but I can give you some tips on troubleshooting:
Make sure you can connect and do have permissions to the PWA site. From that same machine, can you browse to it in the web browser and view/create projects?
Assuming #1 looks good, you can use a tool like Fiddler to inspect the web requests that Project client is making to the server. Look at the responses coming back from the web server - does it yield any clues (error codes perhaps) as to what is wrong?
Maybe you can edit your question to add whatever information you find?
Presuming your URL is correct (including http vs. https) the issue is most like related to permissions.
The solution will depend on your security configurations for the Project Server environment. If your Project Server 2013 environment is in Project Permission Mode, then the Global permissions for at least one your role(s) must have the following global permission selected:
Log on to Project Server from Project Professional
"Allows a user to load the Enterprise Global Template when he or she connects Project Professional to Project Server. Grant this permission to all users in your organization who will be using Project Professional to connect to Project Server."
If your Project Server Permissions are in SharePoint mode, the user must be a member of one of these groups:
Administrators
Portfolio Managers
Project Managers
Resource Managers

I have created a web service in Visual Studio 2015 (web api) that listens out for requests via a barcode scanner. The barcode scanner links to a database that provides information such as stock quantities etc, but this is just for background information. The web service is currently installed on my local machine and works perfectly, returning the correct values and posts data to a database.
I attempted to install the web service onto a server, copying over similar settings in IIS (only have basic knowledge using this), such as the bindings and ensuring the permissions were set up correctly. However when running the web service I recieved a "404 not found error and 401 unauthorized". After that, I installed Visual Studio 2015 onto the server to ensure it wasn't a build or publish error...same problem.
Below are some of the 'fixes' I have tried to help narrow down the potential problem.
Ensured the correct version of .Net, 4.0, is installed on the server.
IIS Manager - Authentication: Annoymous Authentication set to enabled.
IIS Manager - Directly browsing: set to enabled.
Set the correct permissions using 'Edit Permissions', granted full control to 'Everyone'
This is my first time creating a web service so up until now I have been using tutorials and making it up as I go along. I think it could be to do with the application pools set up? But because the solution works on my local machine and not the server has me extremely confused. Thanks in advance.
I have a BizTalk 2010 installed properly on window server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 on a different server. When I create a project myself, I can deploy it to the BizTalk server fine. But when I deploy a sample project from someone else, I got this error at deployment: "Parameter name: strDBName"
When I look at my deployment tab on the property of my project, the configuration database was disabled. I am sure the connection is fine and I can get to it with the project I created. Just not the project from someone else.
It seems unreasonable to ask for sysadmin privilege and my DBA will surely not allow. Is there something I can do to deploy project not created by myself other than asking for sysadmin privilege?
You talk about disabling your config database on biztalk console, but the image provided is not biztak console. projects you open from someone will normally diable your configuration database area on biztalk project property page if the sample use a server other than yours.
I control a server running IIS 8 on Windows Server 2012. I want to publish a few basic asp.net websites with the Publish option in Visual Studio 2012. There are no good/current Microsoft articles on the server configuration steps.
1) What exactly do I need to do on the server? I don't see any "web deploy" role option under the various IIS roles. I have read of some people downloading and installing "Web Deploy 3.0" from Microsoft but that file is one year old and it seems strange that I would have to download another file to use a promoted IIS file deployment option. If you are using IIS7 or IIS7.5 instead of IIS8 like me, please feel free to reply what YOU do, but let me know what version you are using.
2) Is the authentication process encrypted? For example, FTP would send passwords in plain text. FTP over SSL doesn't but setting up even a self-issued SSL cert is annoying just to get secure authentication. So what about Web Deploy? Is it safe or no?
3) Must I open port 8172 on the server's firewall? Microsoft's documentation says I "might need to".
4) On the Visual Studio side, it wants an account for authentication. Is this a Windows account on the server? Should I then right click the IIS website folder on the server and add this user there or is there some other preferred way of mapping users to websites? If so, what rights are required?
Please answer any or all of the above but please focus on the server side configuration and not the client (visual studio). Please don't suggest FTP as I am truly wanting to try Web Deploy. I am adding an IIS 7.5 tag too since some of the answers may be the same as for IIS 8.
It appears that one must still download the Web Deploy extension. Also, Version 3.5 is now available.
To download on a server, default IE security rules will require you add something like http://*.microsoft.com as a trusted site else you can't download the installer.
The whole package is rather large in its purpose and covers many deployment/backup/transfer type scenarios for IIS. So, when you install it, it turns into "Web Platform Installer 4.6" and installs roughly 10 prerequisites in addition to Web Deploy 3.5. Those prerequisites covers CLR Types, SQL Server framework (even if you don't have SQL Server installed), SQL Server shared management objects, etc. I did check afterwards if all these items are uninstallable through control panel (in case I changed my mind about web deploy) and they are there.
Finally, to configure web deploy on a site, I found this document:
http://www.iis.net/learn/publish/using-web-deploy/configure-the-web-deployment-handler
To find more information about this, google "web deployment handler".
It also does appear that you can configure secure authentication, which is the main reason I went down this Web Deploy publishing path instead of using plain clear-text FTP. However, http://www.iis.net/learn/publish/using-web-deploy/introduction-to-web-deploy says
Web Deploy is secure. Web Deploy supports transfer over HTTPS. Note that variants of FTP such as SFTP and FTPS are also secure.
I'm not sure if this means I will have to use an SSL certificate anyway. I was hoping Web Deploy provided more authentication options that were both secure and didn't need a certificate.
The answer marked correct pointed me in the right direction to publish a web site from Visual Studio 2013 to Server 2012. The Validate Connection button kept stating check Web Management service is installed.
As of April 2014 these simple steps work:
Install Web Deploy
http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/web-deploy
In Powershell:
(from: https://www.orcsweb.com/blog/jamie-furr/manage-and-install-iis8-on-windows-2012-server-core/)
Install-WindowsFeature Web-Server
Install-WindowsFeature Web-Mgmt-Service
Set-ItemProperty -Path
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WebManagement\Server -Name
EnableRemoteManagement -Value 1
Net Stop WMSVC
Net Start
WMSVC
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=”Allow Web

In IIS:

Create a new non-admin user
Once your user is created, we need
to grant it permission to deploy the site. Right click on your
website and select “Configure for Web Deploy Publishing…” from the
“Deploy” sub menu
I have built an ASP.NET MVC 3 web application (with exlusively Razor/cshtml pages) that runs fine on my local machine with IIS Express. Now I'm trying to publish it to a remote server that is running Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6 and has just been upgraded to .NET Framework 4.0.
I was able to successfully publish all the files to the proper directory on the remote server using Visual Studio 2010's Publish dialog (Publish method: FTP), and I've followed the instructions for including all the DLLs needed to run ASP.NET MVC on a machine that doesn't have it installed, but now I'm pretty much stuck.
The first issue is that I don't have access to the remote server's IIS. I may be able to get the hosting company to add a virtual directory or change a setting, but I'm not sure they know what they're doing, and at the moment, I wouldn't know what to tell them anyway.
The second issue is that I need my web app to live inside an existing site (the web app is basically a protected members area of the main website). So, pretend the main site is http://www.foobar.com. I'd like my web app to be accessed by entering the URL http://www.foobar.com/members.
Questions
Is it possible to publish my web app without access to the remote server's IIS?
If not, what exactly do I need to tell the hosting company to add or change in IIS?
Do the settings under the Web tab of project properties affect publishing or just local debugging? At the moment, I have it set to use IIS Express, and the Project URL is "http://localhost:7373/". Do I need to change these?
Given that the remote server is running Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6.0, is it possible to use Web Deploy or am I limited to FTP?
If I can use Web Deploy, what do I put for the Service URL? All I have right now is a URL in the format of ftp://www.foobar.com/www and a username and password.
If I need to use FTP, what steps do I need to take to get the app working once the necessary files have been uploaded to ftp://www.foobar.com/www/members? I'm not worried about database, security certificates, registry, GAC, etc., I just want to know the steps necessary to get the home page of my web app to come up when I put http://www.foobar.com/members.
Have you had a look at this article by Scott Hanselman?
In addition to that article, please read the following thread on StackOverflow on pretty much the same environment as yourself.
Edit
Your first step should be to get the hosting company to set up the virtual directory with the following parameters (IIS 6):
ASP.NET Version: 4.0.30319 (or later)
Local Path: [root ftp path for main website]\Members
[ ] Script source access (unchecked)
[x] Read (checked)
[ ] Write (unchecked)
[ ] Directory browsing (unchecked)
[x] Log Visits (checked)
[x] Index this resource (checked)
Application Name: Members
Execute Permissions: Scripts only
Application Pool: ASP.NET 2.0
Exising .net 2 app migrated to .net 4 and moved to an IIS7 Windows 2008 R2 server.
We used to be able to run some code on the web page to export some stuff to excel.
Now, when we do... we get the following error:
The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} and APPID
Unavailable to the user d"omain\username" SID (S-1-5-21-2084383492-816144152-925700815-4150) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.
Any thoughts?
I did wonder if it may be to do with the authenticated user being on a different domain to the webserver - where we see this error??
Try following this resolution:
Microsoft Support
I believe that the basics of the error are the same. The user you are trying to run the DCOm component as does not have permission to start it.
Restarted the web server and this error no longer appears... I get another error when I try and do the workbook save... I'll post another question on that.
Thanks for your help
