Hi I am new to UltiDev Cassini.I installed Cassini1Server.msi in machine with os 2002xp sp2, vs2003 dotnet1.1,wse2.0. It successfully installed but Start | All Programs | UltiDev does not appeared. I found only UltiDev.ico file and Cassini Web Server for Visual Studio .NET 2003 Developers folder under which there were Cassini, EULA.rtf ,Readme.txt, Setup.exe, starter.exe and UltiDevCassiniServerConfiguration.dll files.
I had problem launching Cassini Explorer utility.
Does it requires dotnet framework1.1 sp1 to run UltiDev Cassini successfully?
How can I run Cassini Explorer utility?

Thanks

I have VS2003 v.1.1.4322.Does UltiDev Cassini work with this version of DotNet Framework?
Since I noticed "UltiDev Cassini Web Server for Visual Studio .NET 2003 Developers (v. 1.0.7)" in the site.

Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your great support.

I successfully installed ultidev cassini for dotnet1.1 with sp1 on xp2002 sp2 computer.
But I got "mutex could not be created" error message when trying to debug the application using
ultidev cassini server.
Here is the detail.

My iis is running.
I created an web application in vs2003 on c:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication12.
It successfully run under iis.
First I successfully fully registered WebApplication12 through Cassini Web Server Explorer. I let the system to assign
system generated port. The system assign 1414 port no to the WebApplication12 .

Now I changed the project's debugging configuration properties as described in your site.
It looks as

Debug Mode - Program
Start Application - C:\Program Files\UltiDev\Cassini Web Server for ASP.NET 1.1\UltiDevCassinWebServer.exe
Start Page - WebForm1.aspx
Command Line Argments - /run "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication12"

When I debugged the application by pressing f5, first a console application is opened stating
UltiDev Cassine is server asp.net 1.1 application form
"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication12"
at port 1352

and then IE browser opens with a dialog box stating "mutex could not be create" after cancelling the dialog box
I got following error on my browser.

Server Error in '/' Application.

---

Mutex could not be created.

How to solve this problem?
Do I have to change my web.config files or any other settings?
What is the link between the port that the cassini server assign to the application when registering and the port which is
used when debugging the application using vs2003? These two ports are different,why?

There is hyperlink in the application name under the Registered Application lists. When I click my registered application
WebApplication12, following errro message is generated

Server Error in '/' Application.
This type of page is not served.

Should I get other than this message error?

Under the Registered Application lists, the status of registered application is either running or not running. In which case,
the application's status is running?


Thanks,

Hi,

I am able to access http://localhost:7756/ . It displays list of registered applications.
But I could not access my application at http://localhost:1414/WebApplication12/WebForm1.aspx
I got following error message

Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Requested Url: /WebApplication12/WebForm1.aspx

Hi,
I had done a mistake in registering my application WebApplication12. I had supplied C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication12 as
Pick Default Document. Now I have changed it to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication12\WebForm1.aspx and genereated new
GUID. Now I can access the page WebForm1.aspx at http:\\localhost:3321\WebForm1.aspx.

But I am stilling facing "Mutex could not be created" problem when debuging the application in vs2003.

Thanks,
Prakash Tandukar

Prakash,

we were trying to get confirmation that you could run application one way or another. Mutex error have in the past been related to other issues. That's why we wanted to see how your application was registered with Cassini in Cassini Explorer.

Also, in the last statement of your last message, did you mean "could not" instead of "could" or you indeed were able to run the application?

Best regards,
UltiDev Team.

Hi,

That's all fine. Now I wanna ask few questions.

Does ultidev cassini provide source codes freely?
Does ultidev cassini support WSE2.0? I am asking this question because cassini of microsoft does not support wse2.0 as far as I know.

Thanks,

Hi,

Though I had already mentioned in the previous post of Tuesday, March 27, 2007 10:16:33 AM, I am going to tell you how I resolve the Mutex problem again.

1. Create new WebApplication project in vs2003.
2. Do not register the WebApplication from the ultidev cassini server explorer.
3. Change the debugging configuration properties of the WebApplication project as described in the ultidev.com.
4. Then you can successfully debug the project.
[This is how I resolve the Mutex problem.]


What I have learned/experienced is, registering the web application from ultidev cassini explorer means , the ultidev cassini is hosting that web application .
So if you are going the debug the same web application, then "mutex could not be created" problem occurs. That is resource sharing voilation. Two processes try to access one resource at the same time. According to theory of Operating system, mutex is used when any resource has to be used by more than one resource to avoid deadlock ie mutex is used for mutual exclusion. In our case web application is resource and ultidev cassini and vs2003 debugger are two processes try to access the same resource at the same. But I donot know where is the heart of the problem.
