deploying and re-deploying ASP.Net applications

Tom N

Here's is our configuration

..Net Framework 1.1, Windows 2000, AppCenter 200

Our developers use XCOPY to deploy to the AppCenter NLB cluster (obviously, to the node that is the controller

Scenario - they deploy Version 2.5 of Application "A" to the web server at 8AM. The application is now live and in use. At 9AM they decide they need to deploy Version 2.6 of Application "B" They XCOPY all necessary files to the web server, overwriting the existing Application "A" Version 2.5, with Version 2.6. These are both "private" assemblies, as should be intuitive from the XCOPY nature of the deployment.

Problem - often, in this situation users of the early versions are dropped, disconnected, session is closed. It was my understanding that .Net would allow users already using the previous version to continue until finished. Is this true? Am I reading this wrong? Is this only true of shared assemblies in the GAC.

Also, this article seems to indicate that Norton Anti-Virus may be to blame here?

When certain files are changed, the web application is restarted. Among
other things, when you change web.config (not user.config!) or the .dll of
your web application, the application will restart.

Yes, that's what I figured, and that's what Norton AV seems to cause by scanning web.config.

Anyone recommend a good script editor for Mac OS X? Just finished a 4-day PHP class in front of a Windows machine, and liked the editor we used.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
