Configuration of ASP.Net Core - asp.net-web-api

I have a web project that the front-end is Angular 5 and the back-end is ASP.NET Core. the front-end and back-end are in separated projects.
I have a host with Windows as OS and Plesk as control panel, the Document root folder is home and placed in Home directory
I publish my api to home/api directory but I get some errors about not started application(502), when I publish my api to home directory, I can not access my front-end files and I get page can’t be found error
here is my web.config file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModule" resourceType="Unspecified" />
</handlers>
<aspNetCore processPath="dotnet" arguments=".\Api.dll" stdoutLogEnabled="false" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout" />
</system.webServer>
Is there any way to publish the API on any folder? like home/api

DisableCache in web.config not working on GoDaddy

I recently put a basic site out on GoDaddy, and for obvious reasons, I don't want it caching the HTML files. JSON files and other resources are fine, but not the initial HTML files themselves.
This site was hand-coded in Notepad++; WordPress was not used.
On my local IIS server, the caching for HTML files was disabled without much trouble. This is the web.config file for the overall site:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<defaultDocument>
<files>
<remove value="iisstart.htm" />
<remove value="index.htm" />
<remove value="Default.asp" />
<remove value="Default.htm" />
</files>
</defaultDocument>
<caching>
<profiles>
<add extension=".html" policy="DisableCache" kernelCachePolicy="DisableCache" />
</profiles>
</caching>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
The addelement under caching/profiles works just fine on my IIS server when testing locally. However it's been noticed that it is effectively getting ignored on GoDaddy / Plesk.
So my question is: What do you have to do to get GoDaddy / Plesk to go ahead and stop caching the HTML files?
Try to add below code in your web.config file:
<caching>
<add extension=".html" policy="DontCache" kernelCachePolicy="DontCache" />
</caching>
when you try to access site hard refresh the browser and check that is it working or not.

Autogenerated web.config not accepted by IIS 10

I want to publish a entity framework core (.Net) to a IIS.
For this I publish the application in Visual Studio Community 2017. When I publish the application the web.config file will be auto generated as the following
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModule" resourceType="Unspecified" />
</handlers>
<aspNetCore processPath="dotnet" arguments=".\basket.api.dll" stdoutLogEnabled="false" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout" />
</system.webServer>
</location>
</configuration>
<!--ProjectGuid: ba174064-1719-4e47-a0c3-5e8cff312047-->
I go to my IIS 10
I post it into the default website. Into to the location "C:\inetpub\wwwroot".
I start the web site an access via the webbrowser localhost.
I get allways the following error message:
I check the web page of Microsoft of the error code 0x8007000d,it is basicly saying that the format of a XML Element is not correct. Which is impossible I check all the formating and also I let autogenerate by the Visual Studio when i publish the site. I tried everything and don't know what to do. I am very newbie in IIS stuff.

How do I set the environment in a Visual Studio generated publish profile

I have 2 publish profiles. I want to make one staging and one production. After browsing a bit I found out you could use the command line publish to set an environment variable: dotnet publish /p:Configuration=Release /p:EnvironmentName=Staging. However my publish profiles are generated by Visual Studio and I was wondering if I could set it in there?
Although I didn't tried this approach on .Net Core, I believe that It will work since It is the feature of VS Publish (msbuild).
you need to create web.config. Something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<remove name="WebDAV" />
<add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModule" resourceType="Unspecified" />
</handlers>
<modules>
<remove name="WebDAVModule" />
</modules>
<aspNetCore requestTimeout="00:30:00" processPath="%LAUNCHER_PATH%" arguments="%LAUNCHER_ARGS%" stdoutLogEnabled="false" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout">
<environmentVariables>
<environmentVariable name="ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT" value="Development" />
</environmentVariables>
</aspNetCore>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
then you need to add Config Transform for these (see below)
For the config transformation you can check this github documentation: https://github.com/vijayrkn/webconfigtransform/blob/master/README.md
then you need to transform your publish profile as well.
web.$(publish-profile-name).config is going to be your web.config name. You need to change environment variables of the transformed web.configs respectively.

How do you add a mime type when using ASP.NET vNext?

There's LOADS of information on how to add MIME types into a normal project.
These include configuring IIS, or modifying the web.config.
Both of these options are unavailable to me in vNext with IIS Express.
I had a look at the schema to the project.json file and couldn't find anything in there that would help either.
Can this be done yet? - I want to add a mime type for the .woff2 extension.
If you hosting it on IIS 7 or later then following step will do what you need. This answer I have used Visual Studio 2015 CTP5.
Publish your web application ( ASP.net vnext)
You can publish it to location like C:\MyPublish
Once it get successfully published you will find following location C:\MyPublish\wwwroot. Here You will find web.config.
Now host your site to in IIS ( Make sure that you have used C:\MyPublish\wwwroot as your path)
Now edit web.config over here just like you did for old version to add mime type. ( Following is my edit)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="kpm-package-path" value="..\approot\packages" />
<add key="bootstrapper-version" value="1.0.0-beta2" />
<add key="kre-package-path" value="..\approot\packages" />
<add key="kre-version" value="1.0.0-beta2" />
<add key="kre-clr" value="CLR" />
<add key="kre-app-base" value="..\approot\src\WebApplication5" />
</appSettings>
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<remove fileExtension=".woff" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".woff" mimeType="application/font-woff" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Note: As per my thinking In old version it is fix that it is always windows environment so we have direct web.config file in project and we edit that but now we have to follow different process to register as in future we can host completly on linux env as well.
Update : There is another way to do that as well. If you are using Microsoft.AspNet.StaticFiles package then you will have extension.
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
app.UseStaticFiles();
}
This will indirectly use https://github.com/aspnet/StaticFiles/blob/dev/src/Microsoft.AspNet.StaticFiles/FileExtensionContentTypeProvider.cs. Here you can see all mapping.
Update 2: (Add New Mime Type)
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
StaticFileOptions option = new StaticFileOptions();
FileExtensionContentTypeProvider contentTypeProvider = (FileExtensionContentTypeProvider)option.ContentTypeProvider;
contentTypeProvider.Mappings.Add("<<yourextention>>","<<mimetype>>");
app.UseStaticFiles(option);
}
Until this is released, you can also edit applicationhost.config which I found in D:\Documents\IISExpress\config (yours might be on your C drive [Documents]).
I added:
<mimeMap fileExtension=".woff2" mimeType="font/x-woff2" />
Inside <staticContent>.

Configuring Lightspeed for use in MVC3 Web project

I have a question regarding using LightSpeed in a MVC3 Web application. I am creating a REST Api project where I want to use LightSpeed, but the official configuration guidelines are quite vague. The official documentation says that the following lines need to be added to the file web.config:
<configSections>
<section name="lightSpeedContexts"
type="Mindscape.LightSpeed.Configuration.LightSpeedConfigurationSection, Mindscape.LightSpeed" />
</configSections>
<lightSpeedContexts>
<add name="Test" />
</lightSpeedContexts>
<lightSpeedContexts>
<add name="Test" dataProvider="SQLite3" />
</lightSpeedContexts>
I tried adding following lines to the web.config in the root:
<configSections>
<section name="lightSpeedContexts"
type="Mindscape.LightSpeed.Configuration.LightSpeedConfigurationSection, Mindscape.LightSpeed" />
</configSections>
<lightSpeedContexts>
<add name="Default" connectionStringName="Prod" dataProvider="MySQL5" />
</lightSpeedContexts>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="Prod" connectionString="server=localhost;User Id=production;password=xxx;Persist Security Info=True;database=CBS"/>
</connectionStrings>
This throws an exception when I start the Web application which tells me that configSections may not be specified more than once in the application. The root web.config file did not have any of these specified per default.
I am not sure where to put this configuration.
OK, I found out how to solve the problem.
I moved out the configSections that were in the two sub web.config files (in each Views folder) and put the contents in the main web.config file, then I added the lightSpeedContexts and connectionStrings in the main web.config file.
