[RESOLVED] Ajax / LoadBalancing / and the ScriptResource.axd File

[mendhak]

The /mysite/ seems to be using the virtual directory name in the path. This may mean that you have the same problem as this guy -

http://plainoldstan.blogspot.com/200...sourceaxd.html

His solution was to give both paths to the application on both servers the same virtual directory name.

I thought that too but my virtual directories are exactly the same on both machines.

[RESOLVED] Turns out that .net 2.0 added a "t" parameter to the path for the ScriptResource.axd file, so that had to match across servers.

How did you make sure that 't'e paramters are same in all servers.

Did you add it to another server as well ?

[VBCrazyCoder]

Since the "t" parameter relates to the LastModifiedDate on the System.Web.Extensions.dll in the GAC, you must make sure that the date matches across the servers.
You can view the dates using this (which also will show you the path):

Dim strFilePath As String = "C:\WINDOWS\assembly\gac_msil\system.Web.Extensions\1.0.61025.0__31bf3856ad364e35\System.Web.Extensions.dll"
			Dim strFilePath2 As String = "C:\WINDOWS\assembly\gac_msil\System.Web.Extensions.Design\1.0.61025.0__31bf3856ad364e35\System.Web.Extensions.Design.dll"

			MessageBox.Show("DT: " & File.GetLastWriteTime(strFilePath).ToString() & "  ||  Design file: " & File.GetLastWriteTime(strFilePath2).ToString())

So just set them both to the exact same datetime and you should be good to go.

Thank you very much,

I did find out that modified dates were wrong as the AJAX Control Tool Kit assemblies were in GAC.

For a solution, I have put them on server's bin directory as copying them in bin directory does not change the modified date.

Not sure why putting the file in GAC would change the modified date to a date when it was placed there.

Anyway, I have a solution so its all fine.

Thanks again for your help

I know this is an old thread, but I have the exact same issue in a W2k8 server cluster. An app deployed in both, using a load balancer.

when you say:

So just set them both to the exact same datetime and you should be good to go.

What do you mean exactly? How do I "set the last modified datetime" to those files in the GAC??
And.. the datetime has to match between System.Web.Extensions.dll and System.Web.Extensions.Design.dll? Or for those files between the servers??

thanks
