Remove old packages

[Tratcher]

These packages have been replaced. We left the existing ones until we could get tooling support and covert projects over. Remove these packages before RC2 ships, after https://github.com/aspnet/Coherence-Signed/issues/222.
Microsoft.AspNetCore.IISPlatformHandler
dotnet-publish-iis
And associated tests.

I guess this consists of removing these from the build script for now? GitHub and CI changes can probably come in later.

Don't forget to update packages.csv :)

I'd rather remove the sources before RC2 ships to avoid confusion of what shipped. We should be ready this week.

What are values for the LAUNCHER_PATH and LAUNCHER_ARGS mentioned in the new web.config ?

Been getting error when deploying the published files to IIS 8.5 (2012 R2). I dont see any executables in the published files.

Apologize for placing this question here. The announcements thread is locked.

@mjeson To use the publish-iis tooling. See the tools and scripts sections of project.json in the samples at: https://github.com/aspnet/cli-samples

To manually setup the web.config, see the IISIntegration sample at: https://github.com/aspnet/IISIntegration/tree/dev/samples/IISSample

%LAUNCHER_PATH% and %LAUNCHER_ARGS% are used by VS. publish-iis tool (if configured) will override them when you publish your application.

Thank you for your help @guardrex and @moozzyk . I have my deployment working now. Here are my findings (also posted in stackoverflow).

After several hours dealing with them, I found there are two web.configs that we need to deal with: src\ProjectName\wwwroot\web.config and src\ProjectName\web.config . If you dont have the latter, VS2015 publish will generate one for you with %LAUNCHER_PATH% and %LAUNCHER_ARGS% by default.

To have the project run and debuggable locally under VS2015 via IISExpress, both web.config need to have the default value below. Replacing LAUNCHER_PATH and LAUNCHER_ARGS to something else causes VS2015 to hang indefinitely.

<aspNetCore processPath="%LAUNCHER_PATH%" arguments="%LAUNCHER_ARGS%" stdoutLogEnabled="false" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout" forwardWindowsAuthToken="false"/>

However, upon deploying to IIS (I am using 8.5 on WinServer 2012 R2), the value on src\ProjectName\web.config must be replaced with the following

<aspNetCore processPath="dotnet" arguments=".\ProjectName.dll" stdoutLogEnabled="false" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout" forwardWindowsAuthToken="false"/>

If you are migrating from RC1, change the http bound directory as well to Project root folder, not wwwroot. Example: from C:\inetpub\ProjectName\wwwroot to C:\inetpub\ProjectName.

I am using RC2 Toolkit Preview 1

I don't think you need the config in the wwwroot - as per aspnet/Announcements#173 the web.config was moved to approot. If you configure publish-iis in your project.json like this: https://github.com/aspnet/cli-samples/blob/master/HelloMvcApi/project.json#L21-L29. You won't have to deal with %LAUNCHER_*% values - they will be taken care of for you.

Thank you @moozzyk . You are awesome! I am missing that snippet from project.json. It works as expected now.
