Deploying embedded Raven to prod: access is denied

[Simone Chiaretta]

Hi,

after having solved the problem with the language id (now running on 2022) I pushed everything to production, all the files inside the data folder are created, but after that I get an access is denied error.

Is there any permission I have to set?

Also, where should I've to browse to see the management studio? On my local dev machine I go to localhost:8080 but it doesn't seem to work on the server, not using the ip address, and neither using the hostname of the IIS site the embedded ravendb runs inside.

Thx

Simone

Hi Simone,

 

have set write permission, for the user running the application pool, to the data folder?

 

.m

[Simone Chiaretta]

Yep,
all files and folders have been created by the app itself.
Looks more like permission for opening the port on which to listen to.
Will try removing the listentohttp option to see if that's the problem

Thx
Simo

Without the UseEmbeddedHttpServer = true it works.

So now I have to understand why the process is denied listening to port 8080 on the server

[Mauro Servienti]

The process is not running as admin so cannot reserve url acl, I suppose.

Looks like using RavenDb as embedded and expose it over Http to see what's inside is more complicate than running it as service (or inside IIS).

I guess I'll change the deployement mode :)

Thx

Simone

[Simone Chiaretta]

Thx

Will try that

Run this command on your admin user:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8080/ user=DOMAIN\user

Change DOMAIN\user to the app-pool user for your site and you should be fine.

[Simone Chiaretta]

Thanks,

now the site starts and eveything seems to work fine.

But I cannot access the studio via http://domain.com:8080/

also locally on the server using localhost:8080 doesn't work

Anything else I need to configure?

Thx

I assume that you have set the permissions correctly and you have UseEmbeddedServer, right?

For remote, I would suspect the firewall blocking you.

For local, maybe you forgot UseEmbeddedServer ?

[Simone Chiaretta]

Yep, all set.

Before setting the permissions  netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8080/ user=DOMAIN\user  I was getting an access denied.

Then I added the permissions, restarted the server and now I can save and read data.

And yes, it is: UseEmbeddedHttpServer = true

Actually the problem is not that it never works... sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't

Is the app part of IIS?

Is it possible that when it doesn't work, the app is down (compiled, iis shut down for inactivity, etc)

[Simone Chiaretta]

It's a normal app on IIS.

I was browsing the site and saving/loading data when I was trying to access the Studio... so I rule out that situation :)

And, in addition, is there a way to protect the access of the Studio in the embedded mode?

[Kijana Woodard]

Long shot, what type is on the left side when you create your embedded server? I was getting funky results assigning to an IDocumentStore our DocumentStore. Assigning to EmbeddedDocumentStore cleared up my problems.

Purge things to try:
Make sure nothing else is on 8080. I've got raven for nsb and a regular server instance on 8080, so I made the embedded 8085.

Try pulling it up in ie, could be silverlight install.

[Oren Eini (Ayende Rahien)]

Same as standard server.
