Deployment again…

Its time for Dashboard deployment…

Pentium 4 processor 2.8 GHz systems,
2 GB Ram…

2 boxes of the above config…
Boy, do I love this deployment !

6/29/05 :Afternoon ->
Boxes up.
IIS configured…
Application copied from dev machine…
Deployment up and running(, but for the data access part)…
Mail shot to GPM “Application Up and running… SQL Server to be installed…”
Got a bravo from GPM…
went ahead and installed SQL Server 2000… then sp3.
tried the application again…
Some bloody dll error… which shouldn’t come logically.
At the same time, Morpheus shouts with that wicked smile… “Kido, u got virus… not just ur machine… but the 2 boxes which u set up just now…”

Wow… that’s fantastic… some googling… some config changes… added web server extensions to IIS. Nothing works… wasted almost a day on that… then at 9 in the night yesterday, the proverbial bulb lights! “ReINSTALL….

Yea… got win2k3 cd from Morpheus… win2k3 installation… 35 minutes… IIS configuration… application deployment… its working again J
Was in the mood of calling it a day… Another mail to GPM… application up again…
Now back to installing Sql Server…
