IIS Deployment question

Legacy Uncategorised

Making progress on getting Octopus up and running for one of our smaller projects. I’m running into some problems on deploying to a web site, and I’m thinking there may be an issue with case-sensitivity. Check the log below, properly scans the config files (“Scanning configuration file”), but a a few lines later reports that it can’t find a web.config file. Currently, the web config file is Web.config. I’m going to try and rename it to lower case to see if that’s the problem.

Hi Kevin,

Variables are applied to web.config files in any child directory. However, up until recently, the IIS convention only looked for web.config files in the root of the package.

The latest build contains a fix for this. However, I’d suggest that the /content root folder probably isn’t needed anyway - that’s a NuGet visual studio convention, not a requirement of general NuGet packages. Octopus will extract the contents of your package as-is.

The build is available from:

Okay, I got it. Great news! Glad to hear about the structuring of the NuGet file, I wasn’t exactly sure how to package things up, so I was rolling with the docs I read on their site. I’m going to go ahead and adjust stuff around here momentarily and see where that takes me.

I’m close, I can feel it… :slight_smile:

Installed the latest version of octopus and tentacle, and now my tentacle server is having problems resolving some autofac stuff. This is still on the Win2k3 server.

Taken from fuslogvw on the tentacle server:

The operation failed.
Bind result: hr = 0x80070002. The system cannot find the file specified.

Hi Kevin,

Sorry about this, that was a pretty silly bug. I’ve added some tests to make sure it doesn’t happen again and I’ve posted a new build here:
