Referring to http://doc.essentialobjects.com/library/1/installationanddeployment/deploy.aspx:

I deployed the EO.Web.dll to the Bin directory of our site, seems to work fine. However, we occasionally get 404 Page Not Found errors looking for the file eo_web.ashx. Further down in this documentation, it talks about putting the eo_web.ashx file in a different location, but we never deployed that file in the first place. ???

Hi,

You should put eo_web.ashx on your application's root directory. This is not a concern with the latest version because it will automatically create one for you if the file is not already there. Earlier version tries to automatically work without the file but it is not as clean as having the file there. In any case you may want to give the latest build a try anyway because it contains all the accumulated bug fixes.

Thanks!

How can I tell which build I have? And, if I do have the latest build, do I still need to put that file in the root?

Hi,

Please see here for more details:

If you intend to change to a newer version on production server, make sure check your license first:

If you run the latest build, you do not need to manually put that file in the root because it will be automatically created (of course that can fail if the code has no permission to write). The bottom line is the file has to be there.

Thanks!
Dan

We're running version 6.0.72.2. Does that version require that I manually put a copy of eo_web.ashx in the application root?

Why not just put it there since the file has to be there anyway?

I put a copy of eo_web.ashx in the root of our site. However, I notice the 404 errors that we sometimes get refer to that file missing from the same folder that the AJAXUploader control is running from, not the root of the site. Should I put a copy of eo_web.ashx in that folder too?

Hi,

Generally you should not. Uploader should automatically use the one in the root folder as soon as the file is there. You will probably still see the 404 for a while since because your client may still have cached old versions of your pages. Search engine sometimes will try to pull it as well. You can safely ignore those.

Thanks!
