Hi All,
I'm setting up a new server Windows 2012. I have 3 simple sites which are all dynamic and basically variations of each other (i.e. same layout, code, etc. just some content is different). With Fabrice's help I have managed to set up 2 of them and they work fine. The 3rd one gives me an error in the deploymemt. Here is what I have done and its the same steps that I did for the first 2 sites which worked fine.
1) In WB Administrator set up the user account.
Both accounts are created i.e. the user account and the IUSR account
Both are correctly added to the FTP group
The site folder is created in the WebDev hosting folder
The site in IIS is set up with virtual folders for WB
2) Under WB Administrator the server diagnostic checks OK
3) Under WB Administrator the server -> virtual servers shows the sites for whcih WebDev must be installed OK
4) IIS shows the WB virtual folders under the site domain
5) At this point, under WB Administrator the new site does not show under the Sites tab.
6) I then run the WebDev deployment on my computer
All logins check OK
The deployment starts, the zip file is sent to the server
The zip file is extracted and additional folders are created in the correct place
Then the status windows in WB appears with 3 error lines which read:
(info icon) Registering the site in the administrator
(error icon) Failure saving the application in the account file
(error icon) Check whether the permissions on the files are correct (or contact admin...)
7) The site does not appear in WB Administrator (obviously)
8) As far as I can see the folders have all the right permissions as does the IIS site.
The correct users are allocated to the folders and IIS domain.
It all looks the same as the other 2 sites which work fine.
9) Clearly it is failing due to permissioning but I dont know where to look or why the same steps worked before and not now.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
