Problem with starting a Providor in the Biztalk Rfid

I have re-installed iis 6.0 and aspnet. I have run the aspnet file with a -I to re-register. I have created a new website. run the scripts to change the website id to 1987. I have changed the port the rfid service is running on and I still get this message when I trie to start a providor. Is their a way to narrow down specifically what wrong with IIS 6.0. What does the message mean by casting the channel/proxy to IcontexChannel and setting the Operation timeout properly?

This request operation sent to net.tcp://pc35350:7891/rfid/service/ProviderManager did not receive a reply within the configured timeout (00:01:00). The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout. This may be because the service is still processing the operation or because the service was unable to send a reply message. Please consider increasing the operation timeout (by casting the channel/proxy to IContextChannel and setting the OperationTimeout property) and ensure that the service is able to connect to the client.

Hi,

Can you please do the following and try to start the provider and let us know what happens.

1. Open IIS Manager (Control panel -> Administrative tools -> Internet Information Services Manager).

2. Open the default website. You will see virtual directories corresponding to your provider/process, that will look like ProviderName<Guid>, On one of them Right click -> Properties -> Directory Security -> In the Authentication and Access control section click the edit button.

3. Is the anonymous authentication turned on?

4. Is “Integrated Windows Authentication enabled?

Also when you try browsing through hosting.svc what events do you see in the eventlogs. http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/archive/2005/07/14/HOWTO_Diagnose_IIS_401_Access_Denied.aspx is a place you can look for some help.

Thanks,

Keerthi.

In addition to verfying the authentication, you could also try following steps:

1. Try and browse the hosting.svc file from the provider’s virtual directory in IIS and ensure that the service definition shows up correctly in the browser

2. Check yout ASP.NET version (under My computer -> manage -> IIS -> default website -> properties -> ASP.NET tab) is 2.0.50727

3. Verify IIS is configured to run under IIS 6 mode.

4. You may refer following documentation for troubleshooting help:%rfidinstalldir%\Documentation\BizTalkRFID.chm under section Microsoft BizTalk RFID Documentation > Troubleshooting BizTalk RFID

Thanks,
Anand

In that case, can you please send the logs entries from Event viewer and service logs (located at %rfiddatadir%\logs ) to rfidsupp@microsoft.com alias.

Manually testing for IIS Errors:

1. Start the apppool of the same name as your vdir. Under the application pools node, right click on the relevant apppool and choose the 'start' context menu item.

2. Browse the hosting.svc.

If it fails, send us the following:

1. Error message you see in the browser,

2. Event logs: any warning or error event logs (application/security/system) that you see in the event log

3. Http Logs: the http logs under %windir%\system32\Logfiles\W3svc<websiteId>\*.log (current days logfile should be enough).

hi

Can you tell what do you see in the browser after these two steps.

1. Start the apppool of the same name as your vdir. Under the application pools node, right click on the relevant apppool and choose the 'start' context menu item.

2. Browse the hosting.svc.

can you verify if the web.config file in the provider bin directory is fine.

Thanks for sharing the logs, I had look at the logs, Please try following steps and let us know the results:

· System event logs reads as identity of the AppPool is invalid.

? Please verify if the user RFIDWorkerProcessAcc is the part of IIS_WPG group

· Please change IIS authentication to use Enable anonymous access only and uncheck all other authentication access like Integrated windows authentication.

· Ensure that all unnecessary ISAPI filters have been removed from the Website/Root Server settings

· Ensure that the application pool corresponding to the virtual directory is enabled

· Place test.html at Microsoft BizTalk RFID\Providers\MyProvider dir and try to browse it from IIS and let me know if it is successful.

Test.html has code:

<html>

<head>Hello world<\head>

<body>Page successfully loaded from IIS<\body>

<\html>

Let me know if the problem is resolved, else please send the Http logs from : %windir%\system32\Logfiles\W3svc<websiteId>\*.log and ProcessMon logs for any access denied errors.

Thanks,

Anand

I was have some problem with you, but i found this step was ok......

If you don't need Sharepoint, please usinstall Sharepoint services, than reinstall RFID Biztalk

1.check your IIS 6.0 all services was active.

2.check your SQL Server TCP/IP Protocol was on.

3.try restart providor

I had a similar problem and resolved it today.

I suspected the Sharepoint filter was causing a problem, so I created a new web site on another port. I then went into the advanced features of the Biztalk server and changed the port and website id to match the newly created site. I don't think this is what resolved my issue, but it did bring me around to seeing the IIS application that was created when I installed my provider.

I analyzed the newly created application to discover the authentication and its NTFS file location. I placed a default.htm document in the NTFS location and then used a browser to view the file. This led me to discover that there was a mismatch of permissions between the web site identity and the NTFS location. Once I granted the anonymous account read access to the NTFS location, the provider was able to start.
