I have been in the weeds with this migration of servers. I’ve been trying to move BodyMod.org from old Win2k boxes to new Win2k8 servers. They’re geographically far from each other which makes it a bit difficult. I did most of it via FTP and copy. Here’s a couple things I’ve learned:

- As far as FTP clients go, CuteFTP is still my favorite because of it’s speed and queue management. A friend of mine (Joe) pointed me to Filezilla which in the beginning I thought was awesome. Way faster, and nice management. There was only 1 snag with it… it would skip uploading files and tell you that it uploaded successfully! HUGE problem if you ask me. Cause me a great deal of headache too.

- I’ve also been doing a log of copying from server to server / hard drive to hard drive, etc. The standard windows copy / paste wasn’t cutting it. I wanted to run through errors, verify the copied contents, and copy 400k+ files at a time. Enter TeraCopy by Code Sector. This tool is amazing and FREE! I’ve already installed it on my new servers and my home machines. It’s copy / paste on steroids. It’s fast as hell, can handle copy a crap load of files no problem, and then even runs CRC’s on the before and after files to check for consistency (if you want it to). On top of this, it integrates directly with Windows to become the default file handler, so every time you copy / paste, it takes over. If you’re a windows guy, I strongly recommend this tool!

Enjoy!

So i’m in the midst of migrating a fairly large website to new servers. For the web aspect of it, I’m going from Win2k3 / IIS6 to Win2k8 IIS7. Here’s the problem I was faced with:

I have a few .dll files in a bin directory for use throughout the website. When I try to launch the site, I would receive this error:

Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly ‘XXXXXX, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null’ or one of its dependencies. Access is denied.

After lots of head banging on wall, my friend Joe sends me the fix!

“This is one of the most irritating build errors a developer might see, especially while setting up an existing .NET application on a fresh machine. I have found one solution that works always. Go to “C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files” ( Modify the framework version, root directory etc according to your environment. ) Now, right-click and open up the Security tabs for this folder. Grant “Full control” to the ‘users’ group. (Modify will also work, thought I didn’t try it out) However, it this is a security problem for your environment to grant full control to all users in Users group, another Solution could be to put the concerned assemblies lo GAC which I avoided as it was not  logical to put the assemblies into GAC in my scenario. Hope this helps.”

And it fixed my problem, woo hoo!

Hope this helps someone else =)
