How do I use VS2010 One-Click Publish (MsDeploy) to deploy remotely from the command line?
- by David
On the remote web server I have installed the remote service http://x.x.x.x/MsDeployAgentService.
If I use the Web Application Project's Publish command in VS2010 I can successfully publish to this remote web server and update a specific IIS website.
What I want to do now is execute this capability from the command line.
I am guessing it is two steps. First build the web application project using the relevant build configuration:
msbuild "C:\MyApplication\MyWebApplication.csproj"
/T:Package /P:Configuration=Release
Then issue the MsDeploy command to have it publish/sync with the remove IIS server:
msdeploy -verb:sync
-source:package="C:\MyApplication\obj\Release\Package\MyWebApplication.zip"
-dest:contentPath="My Production Website",
computerName=http://x.x.x.x/MsDeployAgentService,
username=adminuser,password=adminpassword
Unfortunately I get an the error:
Error: (10/05/2010 3:52:02 PM) An error occurred when the request was processed on the remote computer.
Error: Source (sitemanifest) and destination (contentPath) are not compatible for the given operation. Error count: 1.
I have tried a number of different combinations for destination provider but no joy :(
Has anyone managed to replicate VS2010 Web Application Project "One Click" Publish from the command line?
