Web Deploy Failed Publish

Question

While I publish in VS its filed with message "Publish Failed".

the Output:

Start Web Deploy Publish the Application/package to https:// -myStite-... D:\VisualStudio\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v15.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets(4292,5): Error : Web deployment task failed. ((30/10/2017 08:19:07) An error occurred when the request was processed on the remote computer.)

(30/10/2017 08:19:07) An error occurred when the request was processed on the remote computer.

========= Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ========== ========= Publish: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========

in the EventViwer on the server, this exception:

User: -my user- Client IP: 10.0.0.138 Content-Type: Version: 9.0.0.0 MSDeploy.VersionMin: MSDeploy.VersionMax: MSDeploy.Method: MSDeploy.RequestId: MSDeploy.RequestCulture: MSDeploy.RequestUICulture: ServerVersion: 9.0.1955.0 A tracing deployment agent exception occurred that was propagated to the client.

In the past he worked very well (same saved configuration), and now it fails sometimes.

also tell what you have tried? – Microanalysis

Well, the error seems to tell you that it is missing a Maximum value for the Version Max. In the Deployment, it's empty. Maybe edit the deployment settings to include a value for: MSDeploy.VersionMax – Audy

Ensure you can hit the endpoint https:// -myStite-... – Lys

Answer 1

I had the exact same problem and finally solved it after hours of experimenting. The problem was being caused by my ISP blocking/interfering with just that type of traffic. Everything else seemed to work on the ISP, but not publishing my website from Visual Studio (MsDeploy). Fortunately I have other ISPs providing broadband at my home so I was able to connect to a different ISP immediately and then publish successfully.

The problem occurred on the mobile broadband service provider Three.co.uk. Other broadband providers that I tried have not had this problem.

It was the following discussion (I translated it from Chinese) which made me realise that my ISP was causing the issue. https://t.codebug.vip/questions-453963.htm There is post there from someone with the exact same problem, who has a web server behind CloudFlare and that is what was causing the problem for them. I am guessing that CloudFlare was put there by their ISP.

I also found another message by someone who also tracked the problem down to their ISP: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7b345fc9-5e3d-4015-99a9-26746ca3d84f/socket-error-10054-when-deploying-web-app-to-azure-via-visual-studio?forum=windowsazurewebsitespreview Running the publish from behind a VPN has solved the issue for them.

So just try publishing via a different ISP or from behind a VPN. If you only have one fixed line broadband provider, then perhaps try tethering to your phone's broadband provider and publish over that connection.

This was my problem. Had to disable Cisco Umbrella service and the publish worked fine. – Gerry
