Note This issue occurs only in Commerce Server 2007 Developer Edition on a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer.

Back to the top

Issue 3

You cannot invoke the SiteCacheRefresh method from the business management tools and from the Staging service when the Commerce site is unpacked to the root folder of a Web site.

Back to the top

Issue 4

The SiteCacheRefresh.axd URL uses the computer NetBIOS name to build a linked URL instead of the nonsecure host name of the Commerce site.

Back to the top

Issue 5

You try to use the SiteCacheRefresh method to update the Commerce Server cache, and the Commerce Server application uses Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS). In this scenario, the Commerce Server cache may not be updated successfully.

CAUSE

Issue 2

The Commerce Server Health Monitoring service causes the SiteCacheRefresh method not to work on Windows XP.

Note By default, the Commerce Server Health Monitoring service is not installed by Commerce Server 2007 Developer Edition.

Back to the top

Issue 5

This problem occurs because the SiteCacheRefresh.axd HTTP handler is generated by using port 80 instead of by using port 443.

RESOLUTION

Issue 1

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

In Windows Explorer, locate the following folder:
Drive:\Inetpub\wwwroot\OrdersWebService
In a text editor such as Notepad, open the Web.config file.

Locate the following lines of code:

<location path="SiteCacheRefresh.axd">
		<system.web>
			<authorization>
				...
			</authorization>
		</system.web>
</location>

Between the <authorization></authorization> tags, add the following code example:
<allow users="<DomainName>\<CatalogWebServiceApplicationPoolIdentityAccount>"> <allow users="<DomainName>\<ProfileWebServiceApplicationPoolIdentityAccount>">
Note <DomainName>\<CatalogWebServiceApplicationPoolIdentityAccount> is the domain account that is the Catalog Web service application pool identity. <DomainName>\<ProfileWebServiceApplicationPoolIdentityAccount> is the domain account that is the Profile Web service application pool identity.

Repeat these steps for the Commerce Server 2007 site Web.config file.

Note The Commerce site and every Web service for the site must be in a separate application pool. Additionally, they must use a different account as the application pool identity.
