Hey I know most of you guys are huge Windows fans, and UNIX support will eventually be dropped in Postgres cuz really who uses that, but I figure someone in here would love to help me with a Windows issue that has me confused. Postgres is working awesome on my Windows 2003 development environment, using whatever flavor of IIS that thing comes with (is it IIS6?).. However, I'm in the process of moving my site over to production cloud servers and these appear to be rain clouds, as I'm having all sorts of issues getting this running.. When I setup the site with Windows 2008/IIS, the first page that queries Postgres gives me the following crash: 3005 An unhandled exception has occurred. 10/5/2010 7:18:04 AM 10/5/2010 7:18:04 AM fd49ed9391dd46fe9d2d11bd6392d9b6 6 1 0 /LM/W3SVC/1/ROOT-1-129307366626956000 Full / C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ 2796 w3wp.exe IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool InvalidOperationException The Connection is not open. http://127.0.0.1/logon.html /logon.html 127.0.0.1 False IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool 7 IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool False at Npgsql.NpgsqlCommand.CheckConnectionState() at Npgsql.NpgsqlCommand.GetReader(CommandBehavior cb) at Npgsql.NpgsqlCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior cb) at Npgsql.NpgsqlCommand.ExecuteDbDataReader(CommandBehavior behavior) at System.Data.Common.DbCommand.System.Data.IDbCommand.ExecuteReader() at KPCServer.DB.Query.ExecSproc(String sproc, DbParameter[] parameters) at KPCServer.KitchenPC.GetFeaturedRecipes(Int32 max) at KPCServer.Pages.Logon.FeatuerdRecipes(TextWriter output, DynamicContentArgs args) at Imp.Compiler.CompiledPage.Render(BasePage page, TextWriter output) at System.Web.HttpApplication.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() at System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) I couldn't find anything on the Googletubes about this, so after like half an hour of cursing, I finally ran across a setting that fixes it. If I switch the "Managed Pipeline" setting (WTF does this even mean?) from "Integrated" to "Classic", everything works. My question is what's the deal with this? Does "Integrated" somehow block the process from opening a connection with Postgres? In the Postgres logs I couldn't even see any evidence that anything was trying to connect with it.. If anyone has an IIS7 website connecting to Postgres, maybe you can share your app pool settings with me so I can understand the best practice, as this will be a production environment now.. Thanks, and sorry again for the quasi-off-topic email.. Go Postgres!
