WebFileUploader problem running on web farm

Yes you are correct. Please set following properties to the application’s web.config file.

<add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebTextEditor.ContextStorage" value="FileServer"/>
<add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebTextEditor.ContextStorageFileServer" value="path=\\Server\ContextUploadStorage"/>

Instead of WebFileUploader as mentioned in my previous post.

Should you need further assistance or run into any problems regarding this topic, feel free to post your reply.

WebFileUploader supports several advanced scenarios such as multiple web server, multiple worker threads and load balancing configuration.

To enable multiple servers (WebFarm) support in WebFileUploader, please ensure that you have applied the following properties to your application’s web.config file. Note that it should be applied to all webservers that run the application.

<add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebFileUploader.ContextStorage" value="FileServer" />
<add key="ISNet.WebUI.WebFileUploader.ContextStorageFileServer" value="path=\\storageserver\sharedpath" />

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I am experiencing problems here with the WebFileUploader when running on a web farm, where requests go to different noes. I am getting a 500 internal server error, and in the event log is reporting "Unable to obtain upload context for '4fd0ab395f714cd7b7e7722b57e961a0'. The application may have been restarted, or your session has expired. ".

I ran a trace on all request going out, and it seems the only time this occurs is when 2 requests generated by the upload component go to different nodes on the web farm. For example:

UploadFile.aspx?GUID=42b9a6911acd4a83a8b9f4b0c84a91e7&HashCode=1&FileName=scenario_box_grey_bg.gif&PostedFile=true

and

WebFileUploaderHttpHandler.axd?GUID=42b9a6911acd4a83a8b9f4b0c84a91e7&t=1290615650618

Is this a known issue? Is there an easy resolution? We need to resolve this quickly.

thanks

Darren
