404 not found on deploy

[SWSDEV]

I'm now deploying on a 64bit windows server 2008 box

Why is the following config giving me a 404? I have confirmed the files are there and the IIS server is set up properly.

I discovered the problem but not the solution.

In the file VAD_Deploy.aspx.cs you guys are reading the session variable Request.QueryString["projectname"]

When I go to the url for vad_deploy.aspx manually in a browser, the error comes up for OBJECT REFERENCE NOT SET TO AN INSTANCE OF AN OBJECT.

I confirmed that this is the problem.

What would make the VAD not pass the projectname in the query string?

Hi,

I'm a bit confused. A 404 error should happen if the page can not be located. An error like not sending the projectname in the querystring should report a 500 error (internal server error).

Can you try browsing manually to http://10.123.86.3:5484/VAD_Deploy.aspx?projectname=PROJECTNAME and see what happens?

 

[SWSDEV]

Either that or there is more than one problem here. Because it was a 404 error I checked if all the files existed, and they did. When I manually ran the .aspx page I got the object error, but I just realized it probably errored when I checked it in the browser because I wasn't specifying anything in the querystring.

So just forget about that part. The main problem is the 404 error is happening but the file exists.

I checked the url and received:

ERROR: projectname is invalid

 

[SWSDEV]

Ok, I got this to work in the browser

http://10.123.86.3:5484/VAD_Deploy.aspx?projectname=CellsAgent_Debug

I forgot the "_Debug" before.

 

[VAD_Support]

So, could you finally deploy the project? Or are you still getting the 404 error from the VAD?

 

[SWSDEV]

Still getting the 404 from the VAD.

 

[VAD_Support]

This is very strange...
Just to be absolutely sure about what's going on, can you trace with WireShark a manual request to http://10.123.86.3:5484/VAD_Deploy.aspx?projectname=CellsAgent_80_Debug? And another request using the VAD? I would like to see what is the difference between both requests...

 

[SWSDEV]

Do you want a raw data dump?

 

[VAD_Support]

Yes, the dump from wireshark, so we can open it here and see the difference.
