Hi Keith,
From my experience setting up load balanced web sites, be it EPiServer or any oher solution, I have only one stable reliable solution I'd recommend.
Put the upload/pagefiles on a clustered fileshare.
There are software that can do replication, one can to some extent use an Active Directory.
But at the end of the day, I'd go for a clusted file share.
Regards,
Morten
Thanks Morten!!
Gone for the fileshare option - just testing localling and setting the share in the web.config is causing me problems.
My config entry is:
<add key="EPsUploadDir" value="\\Osllmklp103\Share\upload\" />
But the get the following exception:
parsing "^/\\Osllmklp103\Share\upload\/\d+/$" - Insufficient hexadecimal digits. Parameter name: ^/\\Osllmklp103\Share\upload\/\d+/$
Server Error in '/' Application.

Anyone?
Thanks,
Keith.
First option is go for Shared File location between the web severs.
A separate lincensed software called 'Vice versa' which will replicate the files between the web servers
Please make sure you are using sticky session(once the request comes to web1, all the subsequent request has to come to web1).
First options willwork ,since i have used the both the options.
Hi all,
We have FileManager working for 1 server - but we are moving to a load balancing solution. Does anybody know how to replicate content uploaded through file manager to 2 or more production servers?
Thanks,
Keith.
