Timeout Problems Running Personal Web Site Starter Kit

• Question from visitor: I am running DevStudio?Create|Search 2005 Beta within Virtual PC, and often the first time I run the Personal Web Site Starter Kit after starting Virtual PC, I get an error: "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient?Create|Search.SqlException?Create|Search: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding." The computer seems very busy before this error comes up. If I refresh the page, then everything works ok.
  • Answer: The typical answer is to increase the CommandTimeout?Create|Search property of the SQL. The default is 30 seconds. However, this won't help if it is the membership system in ASP 2.0 that is timing out.
    • Helpful search string: System.Data.SqlClient?Create|Search.SqlException?Create|Search: Timeout expired.

Unable to open physical file on the database files

• Question: I am getting the following error:
  • Server Error in '/PersonalWebSiteStarterKit1?Create' Application.
  • Unable to open the physical file "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\WebSites?Create|Search\PersonalWebSiteStarterKit1?Create\App_Data\aspnetdb.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".

• Answer: This can happen after checking the entire solution into Visual Source Safe. Visual Source Safe sets all checked in files to Read-Only status. To fix this problem use file explorer to remove the Read-Only attributes from the App_Data files.

Problems creating administrator password for Personal Web Site Starter Kit

• Problem: You might have problems creating the admin user, with repeated prompts to select a different password. This results from a password that does not have upper and lower ase letters, numbers, and even 1 or more symbols.

Unrecognized Attribute xmlns

• After you install it on a website, you might get "Unrecognized attribute 'xmlns'". For example:
  • Line 10: <configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">
  • This can happen when your website is not running the latest ASP.NET. Here are the steps to try:
    • 1. Choose Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Internet Information Services
    • 2. Expand the nodes until you can see your virtual directory
    • 3. Right-click on the virtual directory and click Properties
    • 4. Select the ASP.NET tab
    • 5. Under the ASP.NET version, choose 2.0.50215.0
    • 6. Click OK.

Timeout Errors When Running In Low Memory Situation

• If you run the DevStudio?Create|Search in a memory starved Virtual PC session with W2003, for example, 192K of memory, you will find that trying to run the webpage may get timeout errors such as the following. Refreshing the browser window solves the problem.

• Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
• Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
• Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient?Create|Search.SqlException?Create|Search: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
• Source Error:
• The source code that generated this unhandled exception can only be shown when compiled in debug mode. To enable this, please follow one of the below steps, then request the URL:

1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated the error. Example:

  <%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %>

or:

2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your application:

<configuration>

   <system.web>
       <compilation debug="true"/>
   </system.web>

Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given application to be compiled in debug mode. The first technique will cause only that particular file to be compiled in debug mode.

Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a memory/performance overhead. You should make sure that an application has debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario.

 Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50215.44; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50215.44 

This is a known bug in the SSE, Sql Server Express, and it seems to have been solved. Here are the steps to solve the problem until new version is released:

1. Delete the MDF/LDF files from the App_Data directory of the website under inetpub\wwwroot.
   1. If you fail to delete the files, and just run the detach command below, and set the ACLs, and try to rerun without re-copying the file, you could get this error: "A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to the server. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 0 - The pipe is being closed.)"
2. Download and install the SSEUTIL command line tool from:

1. Using sseutil, issue a command that looks something like: sseutil -child "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" -detach D:\ . You will need to change the account name and the detach path to match your machine settings. If on IIS5/5.1, then ASPNET will be the correct user account. For example, sseutil -child "NT AUTHORITY\ASPNET" -detach C:\ . Also, you can determine the detach path pretty easily by issuing sseutil -list to see where the problematic MDFs are currently attached. The "D:\" in the sample command line is just the first few characters that sseutil uses to auto-detach all databases that begin with "D:\". Change the path as neeeded for your machine.
2. Set the ACLs on App_Data directory under inetpub\wwwroot to grant R/W to the appropriate process account - NETWORK SERVICE on WS03 or ASPNET on IIS5/5.1.
3. Re-copy the MDF/LDF files from the directory where the file-based website exists back into App_Data under inetpub\wwwroot. After the copy occurs, check that the MDF/LDF files have now inherited the new ACLs.
4. Re-run the application (ignore any connection errors that might occur - just hit refresh in the browser).

We are working on a fix in SSE that will eliminate the manual reconfiguration for RTM.
