Hello Everyone,
This is a really important post and I would be grateful if I someone can help me.
A developer had developed a service for me which runs in Windows Server. It communicates with sql server database and passes the data to client application. The client application run on windows and communicates with server database using that service. The person had developed two programs coded in C# (.net). One was service which is configured and installed in server and other is a dll that winforms applications uses to get data and perform other functions.
Currently the who setup is working fine. A windows server (2008 R2) is running with SQL Server 2012 (Express). It also has IIS and the service is configured. This is what is present/configured:
- Inetpub folder has a folder where service files are present. It has bin folder with dll file and root folder has wcf service file (svc) and web.config file.
- IIS has the service configured in application pool and sites
- SQL Server is running and SQL Server Management Studio is also installed
The server configuration etc was done by the developer few years ago. Now I wish to shift to another server. So I am trying to configure this in another Windows server (this time Windows Server 2016) and am using Sql Server 2016.
Inspite of me trying to configure the server the same way it is doing in older server (which is running ok) the program is unable to communicate with the new server. I have checked the IIS config, have imported the database in the new server, create users and matched setting. The web config file was tweaked to match new server name. The firewall has port opened. But still it is not working.
I wonder what I am missing or have not yet configured. For e.g. the program uses a port e.g. 1670 and firewall has this port opened but I have not registered this port in new server for WCF. Is this the issue or what? The IIS setting is all done as they match with old server IIS settings.
Please help me in anyway you can. Even when I am trying to run the program locally (on server) to test it, it gives error (network error). The old server (orig) however is working fine.
Thank you.
