Working Great all year update and publish and now Server Error

[filepro]

I just updated a pre-existing grid that been in use all year and the publishing hangs up at the uploading file a5_application.a5i to a5_application.a5i and then when the message goes away, any of my users get a 500 Internal Server Error /Error Processing a5_application.a5i not found.. I contacted Zebra host but want to see if there is something on my end and not theirs

My guess is the missing file never made it.
What method do you use to publish to zebrahost ? (I publish local, the copy and paste using RDP

[filepro]

I have been using FTP for years and published several times this year with it. It just started hanging up today.

If I get a publishing error during an upload like that it kills everything as well - I usually just restart AA and reupload or restart that AND my server and upload again. If all else fails do the old copy and paste. Doesn't seem likely it has anything to do with zebrahost at all

[filepro]

Ok. I have actually never done a copy/paste. What files/folder do i copy from and to where..SOrry for the elementary question, but have always published

[peteconway]

I agree with Charles.. also - I have only ever developed RDP on my servers - never on a local machine, now every things is so fast these days - it's a perfect set up. you never need to ftp anything, its all just there.

I also powered up another computer and published from that with the same results, so may be an issue with Zebra. I am checking with them

[madtowng]

I've published and republished to zebrahost a few times today, and I expect I'll be doing more.
I copy everything from the local webroot\<project folder> , then paste it into the zebrahost webroot\<project folder>.
I develop locally because I hate being down when the internet is down.

when the internet is down.

Here in Australia they have created the NBN - National Broadband Network - Fiber to the Node and now we have Fiber to the home - no copper at all. So we don't have those issues any more. Between 50Mbps and 100Mbps all the time :-)

ZebraHost is reporting back to me that SSL is all gone ("blown up") and they are working on it. Hopefully this will fix the issue

[filepro]

Ok, now zebrahost is saying its a Alpha issue. THe publishing hangs at the last file a5_application.a5i and that is the error i get when try to run the grid in a browser

[CharlesParker]

I would publish the project to a local folder and copy the contents through cut and paste to the server. Once that is done you might find the publish will work again as expected. OR you could turn on error logs in the server and review those but honestly I would try the first method as its no longer a matter of trying to figure out the root cause of the error at this point. Hopefully you won't see this again and it won't matter.

The files for your environment are here:
....WebProjects\Default.WebProject\__staging.staging\[publishing profile].
This is where Alpha produces the files--based on the defined variables and settings and connection strings, etc--before publishing them to the remote server. If you copy and paste from a different folder, the files may have different variables/settings/connection strings.
