I have a web application and I am trying to deploy it on a webserver using MSDeploy.exe (Web Deploy 2)
I have tried 4 scenarios:
Through VS2010 Publish method with following settings:
Publish Method: Web Deploy
Service Url: https://MyServerName:8172/MsDeploy.axd
Site/application: MyWebSiteName
Allow untrusted: checked
Username: MyUsername
Password: MyPassword
This method works just fine.
On MyServerName machine I have Web Management Service running; I have a website MyWebSiteName, an application MyWebAppName and MyUserName is an IIS Manager for it.Through VS2010 Publish method with following settings:
Publish Method: Web Deploy
Service Url: https://MyServerName:8172/MsDeploy.axd
Site/application: MyWebSiteName/MyWebAppName
Allow untrusted: checked
Username: MyUsername
Password: MyPassword
This method works just fine.Through MSDeploy.exe command line (within a Powershell script)
$Source = "contentPath='...._PublishedWebsites\MyWebApp'"
$Destination = "contentPath=MyWebSiteName,computerName='https://fc-wapps-trial:8172/MsDeploy.axd?Site=WebSiteTest',Username=MyUsername,Password=MyPassword,AuthType=basic"
MSDeploy -verb:sync -source:$Source -dest:$Destination -allowUntrusted
This method also works fine.Through MSDeploy.exe command line (within a Powershell script)
$Source = "contentPath='...._PublishedWebsites\MyWebApp'"
$Destination = "iisApp=MyWebSiteName/MyWebAppName,computerName='https://fc-wapps-trial:8172/MsDeploy.axd?Site=WebSiteTest/MyWebAppName',Username=MyUsername,Password=MyPassword,AuthType=basic"
MSDeploy -verb:sync -source:$Source -dest:$Destination -allowUntrusted
This method doesn't work. I am getting the following error.
Error Code: ERROR_USER_UNAUTHORIZED
More Information: Connected to the destination computer ("MyServerName") using the Web Management Service, but could not authorize. Make sure that you are using the correct user name and password, that the site you are connecting to exists, and that the credentials represent a user who has permissions to access the site.
Error: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.
I was looking at what is the actuall MSDeploy command that the method 2 uses and I got something like:
msdeploy.exe
-source:manifest='...\MyWebApp.SourceManifest.xml'
-dest:auto,ComputerName='https://MyServerName:8172/MsDeploy.axd?site=WebSiteTest',UserName='MyUsername',Password='MyPassword',IncludeAcls='False',AuthType='Basic'
-verb:sync
-disableLink:AppPoolExtension
-disableLink:ContentExtension
-disableLink:CertificateExtension
-skip:objectname='dirPath',absolutepath='...\App_Data$'
-setParam:kind='ProviderPath',scope='IisApp',match='^...\PackageTmp$',value=WebSiteTest/WebAppTest
-setParam:kind='ProviderPath',scope='setAcl',match='^..\PackageTmp$',value=WebSiteTest/WebAppTest
-allowUntrusted
-retryAttempts=2
Now this doesn't seem to be anything close to what I am using in method 4. I tried running it myself without success, but I assume I wasn't able to properly re-create all those parameters.
So my questions are:
- What I am doing wrong in method 4?
- How can I deploy a web application as a website application in IIS7 using MSDeploy.exe command
Thanks in advance for your help
