Mosso / Rackspace Cloud installation error

I think this has already been touched on, so I apologize if I'm repeating what has already been asked. I have a client who has a developer trying to setup MojoPortal on Rackspace's cloud (Mosso). Their wiki says they support MojoPortal, but they've been getting the following error:

Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

Source:mscorlib

Stack Trace at System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.Check(Object demand, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean isPermSet) at System.Security.CodeAccessPermission.Demand() at System.IO.Directory.InternalCreateDirectory(String fullPath, String path, DirectorySecurity dirSecurity) at System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(String path, DirectorySecurity directorySecurity) at mojoPortal.Web.mojoSetup.TouchTestFile() at mojoPortal.Web.mojoSetup.DataFolderIsWritable() at mojoPortal.Web.UI.Pages.SetupHome.ProbeSystem() at mojoPortal.Web.UI.Pages.SetupHome.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

As far as I can tell the web.config is setup to be using medium trust. Rackspace's info says they're running a modified medium trust environment. Are there any other possibilities to cause this sort of error. Thanks in advance for any input.

Re: Mosso / Rackspace Cloud installation error

This looks like a simple file permission error. The Web Process user must have read permission on the whole web site and it should have full control on the /Data and /App_Data folders so it can write and modify files there.

Previously someone contacted me to let me know they got mojoPortal working in the mosso cloud.

His notes were as follows:

My notes to anyone wanting to set it up on Mosso/Rackspace Cloud: make sure to use the included Medium Trust web config file; use the web.config impersonate entry and of course make sure file permissions are correct (I used my sftp program to set the needed folders/files to 777.

After I made sure all that was straight - and I used MySQL - it installed in under 30 seconds and is fast. In case you want to see it - http://mojo.weekendwebbie.com.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Mosso / Rackspace Cloud installation error

I am having trouble getting mojo working with Rackspace Cloud Sites. I am getting the same error as above after 'Probing system...', 'System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission', during /Setup/default.aspx. I have tried the steps noted above and in the Rackspace wiki specific to mojoPortal without luck (using medium trust web.config, set impersonation in web.config to Rackspace account, set access rights to 777 on Data and App_Data folders). Any other suggestions? Seems like there is still a file permission issue somewhere. Thanks!

Re: Mosso / Rackspace Cloud installation error

Hi,

I don't know if something changed recently at Rackspace, but on this page http://cloudsites.rackspacecloud.com/index.php/Overview_of_modified_Medium_Trust#FileIO it mentions a known IO bug that prevents creating folders and says they are working with Microsoft to solve the issue.

The mojoPortal Setup does try to create some folders if they do not exist so you may need to try and create them manually using ftp instead.

I recommend:

create the folder /Data/Sites/1/skins
copy all contents from /Data/skins to /Data/Sites/1/skins/
create the folder /Data/Sites/1/systemfiles
create the folder /Data/Sites/1/GalleryImages/
create the folder /Data/Sites/1/FolderGalleries
create the folder /Data/Sites/1/SharedFiles
create the folder /Data/Sites/1/SharedFiles/History
create the folder /Data/Sites/1/media

This may get you past the setup errors and get your site functional, however various features create folders as needed and therefore this issue may cause errors in some site features until they get it resolved.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Mosso / Rackspace Cloud installation error

Hi Joe,

Excellent call! After creating the folders you mention, the initial setup did run for a bit. However, it stopped after "Creating site with default settings... - 00:00:02:6406250" with the FileIOPermission error again. Here is the message which may help:

.....

Any suggestions?

Thanks a bunch Joe!

Re: Mosso / Rackspace Cloud installation error

I think I forgot a few folders, try adding

/Data/Sites/1/banners
/Data/Sites/1/flash
/Data/Sites/1/logos
/Data/Sites/1/htmlfragments
/Data/Sites/1/index
/Data/Sites/1/xml
/Data/Sites/1/xsl

Then visit /Setup/Default.aspx again

Hopefully that will solve it, but it may not have done everything it needed to for the site creation since this error interrupted it so if you have troubles I would try again with a clean new db.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Mosso / Rackspace Cloud installation error

No apologies necessary! The install finished successfully and I am in.

Many, many thanks for your help. I really appreciate your quick responses! I am checking with Rackspace on the status of the issue you pointed out to see if they are still working on it.

Have a great day!
