I have migrated a website to cloud, which works perfectly on my local machine using the Compute and Storage Emulators.
However, when I put it onto Windows Azure Cloud, the session and cookies are not working fine. Part of web.config file is given below.
<sessionState timeout="30"
mode="SQLServer"
sqlConnectionString="Server=sxxxxxxxxx.database.windows.net;User ID=xxxxx#sxxxxxxxxx;Password=MY_PASSWORD"
cookieless="false"
allowCustomSqlDatabase="true" >
</sessionState>
Can anyone please guide be in correcting the same ? All the other things in the website are pretty much working fine.
Below is some additional information:
To summarize, I have done the following.
Migrated a website to Windows Azure successfully
Created the required connection strings for the database access successfully.
Tested the website on the local machine using Compute Emulator and Storage Emulator.
When I published the website and uploaded the packageFile and configurationFile, everything was working fine in general. BUT
for the pages which used session/cookies. All static pages worked well. All database access were proper.
Then, I wrote some code for setting right the session.
GOT ERRORS AND ENTIRE WEBSITE STOPPED WORKING
Created the database and tables that were required (ASPSTATE database and its corresponding tables). Everything went well.

Tested the website ... Still getting the error on local and on cloud...as mentioned previously in this post.
Can you please guide me to rectify this.
.Hey guys,
Thanks for the replies. I modified the session state in web.config a little and its as below
<sessionState cookieless="false" mode="SQLServer"
sqlConnectionString="data source=serverName.database.windows.net;user id=UserID#serverName;password=password;Trusted_Connection=False;Encrypt=True;"
timeout="20"
allowCustomSqlDatabase="true">
</sessionState>
Now its working fine.
Regards
Sandeep
I assume that the SQL Server Session State Provider isn't throwing an exception, just not keeping state?
You'll be aware that a cookie is used to hold the session ID, so it may stem from a general cookie problem.
Are you doing anything unusual with domain names? I'm just wondering if there's a domain mismatch between the cookies and the URL through which you're accessing the site, meaning that the cookies don't get presented on subsequent requests.
Of course, it's also possible that a security limitation is preventing your browser accepting the cookies, but you'd likely have noticed that as an issue before now!

I tried several times to publish my website from Visual Studio 2019 to the Azure server but I getting errors.
I have an MVC-CORE 3.0 project which works fine using IIS EXPRESS (localhost).
In my web-application, there is a login page (home page), which is the first view. It perfectly works both on Azure and the localhost.
But once I using the published website and log in to my account (=move to the next view), I got this error:
*The login process works great using localhost
*I already published my app 2 months ago and it perfectly worked!
This error appeared just after republishing (private needs).
Please HELP ME !!!
I think you should try these way to solve you issues.
According to your describe, you can open you site correctly. But when you do other operations, the error occured. Here are my advice,
Tips 1, check your web.config file ,make sure you dbConnection is correct. Pls pay attention to Connection strings in portal.And the priority on the portal is higher than that in the web.config.
Tips 2, check your web.config file ,modify the config, like the post. Add settings like below,
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
If my advices don't work, you can try to solve the problem by Monika Reddy-MSFT's way.
Update
If you can't open you site correctly, pls check Stack settings in portal.
And next time when you republish your apps, you can backup publish file first in order to restore previous version. Or you can publish your app in slot, if it works fine then you can swap it.
Have you tried to set the environment variable inside the web app on Azure?
If not, please try this:
Open the Application Settings blade --> Scroll Down to -->"Application Settings" --> add the "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT" and "Development".
Also please take a look at this doc for more reference.
I am running a WordPress on an Azure Web app connecting to a MySQL server on a different Windows server. When loading the mentioned page in Chrome, it shows 2 popups 403 & Forbidden. Checking the console throws this error - ecbcc.js:2 POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php 403 (Forbidden)
This works fine on FireFox & IE but not on Chrome. Any ideas why?
This is because of your cache. Minified version of JS is causing the issue in chrome browser. Check or purge the cache and check for the permissions applied to cached files as well.
I faced the same issue but it took a long time for me to fix it. Because my solution was not caused by common things like cache, .htaccess, files permissions, etc. I apply all the possible solutions as described here. When nothing worked for me, then I talked with my hosting provider and the issue was on their side. Actually, the server has black-listed my IP.
Below is the reply from the support of my hosting provider:
After checking it, it looks like the issue is caused by trigger
ModSecurity rules.
ModSecurity is an Apache module that works as a web application
firewall. It blocks known exploits and provides protection from a
range of attacks against web applications. However, sometimes,
mod_security may incorrectly determine that a certain request is
malicious, while it is actually legitimate. In such a situation, we
can whitelist the triggered mod_security rule on the server, so that
you can bypass the block.
In order to properly investigate, we need you to share your IP address
with us. You can copy it from here: https://ip.web-hosting.com/
Looking forward to your response.
This error can appear for more than one reason. Except for the accepted answer, if you are using a shared hosting solution as a server then it would be best to contact the support of the service. Also if you use Plesk or Cpanel you can check the server logs to see if there is any false positive rule that from mod_security that catches the error. Then you can find the error that could look something like that:
ModSecurity: Warning. Match of "test file" against "REQUEST_FILENAME" required. [file "/etc/httpd/conf/modsecurity.d/rules/custom/006_i360_4_custom.conf"] [line "264"] [id "77140992"]
You can apply the ID on your firewall exclusion list (if this is provided by your hosting service) and then the server will not block the request anymore.
IMPORTANT: If you are not sure what you are doing, ask your hosting provider for support. Experimenting on live servers/sites is not the best option and I would strongly recommend avoiding it.
I'm developing an offline Android app with Genexus Ev3 U9 and when I try the app in the device I see there is no initial synchronization, even when I try to execute a manual sync the app shuts down. The cat log shows that request made to URLs like http://192.168.12.17/MyAppSmartDevicesEnvironment/gxmetadata/MyApp.android.json
worked fine but when the app tries to get this URL http://192.168.12.17/MyAppSmartDevicesEnvironment/rest/MyAppOfflineDatabase?fmt=json&event=gxchecksync returns 404 I tried the same link in my laptop and it's like the requested resource was not created by GeneXus.
What could be wrong?
There are actually a couple of things you might want to check.
When you accessed http://192.168.12.17/MyAppSmartDevicesEnvironment/gxmetadata/MyApp.android.json you got data but that just means that the virtual directory was successfully created. (which is good of course)
Then you need to check if the WCF module is installed correctly, in order to do that you could try to go to http://192.168.12.17/MyAppSmartDevicesEnvironment/MyAppOfflineDatabase.svc/rest or any other service in your KB. That goes straight to the service implementation. (you can check you web.config file in order to see the actual rewriting rules)
If that works it's certainly a URL Rewrite problem like Sandro and Guscarr suggested.
You can download and install the module from here: http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite
Gcastano,
It seems that you're generating to .net, right?
If so, it could be some problem with iis rewrite module.
Anyway you might check gx software requirements...
It seems that REST services cannot be run on your IIS, as Sandro said, try installing URLRewrite.

Recently transferred my Magento 1.7 store to a new host, and started having a frustrating problem.
We've got the store sitting behind a login shell - you can see it at http://www.seacadetshipsstore.com. Base exchange takes you to the root store (/magento/), and the gearlocker login takes you to a secure sub-store (/magento/gearlocker/).
The problem is, ever since transferring to the new host, /magento/gearlocker/ is sporadically redirecting to /magento/. I can only reproduce it 1 in every 10 times, but customers are constantly complaining that they can't access the secure store for this reason.
I've also noticed that if I turn off the security and have clients navigate to /magento/gearlocker/ directly, it seems to fix the problem for most - they no longer get the redirect after logging in. Only a few of them still have the error, and they're all PC users on various browsers.
I've set up a demo login for stack:
https://www.seacadetshipsstore.com/login.php
U: stack_login
P: thanks
I doubt it's an issue with the base url or base link url, otherwise the error would be much more consistent. I've gone through magento's official tutorials and made sure the secondary store was set up properly (remember, it was working fine on the old host). I also know it's not anything to do with the login shell - all it does is validate the user's login and redirect to /magento/gearlocker/.
Can anyone reproduce this error? Can anyone tell me what's going on, or how I might fix it? Thanks in advance!
I'm trying to set up an MVC application that will service several facebook applications for various clients. With help from Prabir's blog post I was able to set this up with v5.2.1 and it is working well, with one exception.
At first, I had only set up two "clients", one called DemoStore and the first client, ClientA. The application determines what client content and facebook settings to use based on the url. example canvasUrl: http://my_domain.com/client_name/
This works for ClientA, but for some reason when I try any DemoStore routes I get a 500 error. The error page points to an issue with the web.config.
Config Error:
Cannot add duplicate collection entry of type 'add' with unique key attribute 'name' set to 'facebookredirect.axd'
I am able to add additional clients with no problem, and changing DemoStore to something like "demo" while using the same facebook application settings works fine also.
Working calls:
http:// localhost:2888/ClientA/
http:// localhost:2888/ClientB/
http:// localhost:2888/Demo/
Failing call:
http:// localhost:2888/DemoStore/
I was thinking this might be an MVC issue, but the Config Error points to the facebookredirect handler. Why would the SDK try to add this value to the config during runtime, and only for this specific client?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I managed to figure out what went wrong here. Silly mistake..
After I had set up the application routes to require the client_name I changed the Project Url in the project properties to point to demostore by default. When I hit ctrl+S a dialog popped up that I promptly entered through without reading.
When I changed the Project Url, IIS Express created a new virtual directory for the project. This was the source of my problem. Why? I'm not sure, but once I removed the second site from my applicationhost.config I was able to access the DemoStore routes.
Moral of the story: read the VS dialog messages!
