Any ideas on why a template/widget wouldn't update on the development site? It works on my local machine - asp.net-mvc-4

I have a widget and a page layout that are not working as they should on the development server. The development server is hosted on Azure. On my local machine, it is working properly. I'm at a lost on what the issue is.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to check/test? Is there any way I could test/debug this better?

I reached out to Sitefinity to support and they pointed me in the right direction. I inadvertently had the wrong namespace in the widget. Unfortunately, the widget didn't display an error message. I had to go to the log files to find the issue.

IIS Remote Manager is missing icons for a specific site

I have a developer that came to me with and issue. He is remotely managing one of his sites on one of our development servers and all of a sudden he lost all of the icons in IIS for this specific site..
All other sites display his icons correctly and when I have him test on another computer everything displays correctly.. So what could have gone wrong on his machine? It was working but is now not working.. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.. Never seen this before and cant seem to figure out what caused it to just go away.. There should be so many more options for him.. Plus if you can see he lost the ability to see the folders on this site also.. And it is every site on this server.. But like I said it is just on his computer, he goes to a different computer he has access to everything..
Guess I cant post a picture.. But if you need to see it I can send it to you if you need to see what I am talking about..
Come to find out he was ignoring the prompt that he was getting saying that there were new versions of the tools to download on his machine that are on the server.. He just hit Cancel instead of selecting them and hitting ok to install the DLL's and enabling them.

Re: Enterprise edition of our iPad app not downloading

We have created an enterprise edition of our iPad app. and we were using it since last 15 days. but url suddenly stopped working. we are not able to install application now.
Error: "There is no application set to open the URL itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=index.php%3Fplist%3DMyApp".
Earlier it was working fine, i din't change anything to my side.
Please help me out guys.
Thanks in advanced.
One thing to check is that the app is hosted on a server that gives the .ipa the correct MIME type, which should be "application/octet-stream." Any changes in your hosting server?
I've been in a situation where a Microsoft IIS server was not set properly and was screwing me up.

Colorbox stopped working

I recently have an issue with colorbox. After moving the site in different server (cloud) the functionality of opening a link with colorbox, stopped working. The files are the same and I have not changed anything.
Do you have any suggestions? Is there any server compatibility that I have to look around?
Thanks in advance,
Penny.
Colorbox, and all jQuery and Javascript scripts for that matter, are client-based. This means it is the client (the visitor's computer) who does all the work. The server has absolutely nothing to do with them. This being said, the answer of to your questions is: no. There are no know (or even unknown) compatibility issues with colorbox and any time of server.
So, more than likely something went wrong with your files when you migrated to your new server.

WCF service not reachable (selfhosted)

today i decided to have a look at WCF and the example worked so nicely on my localhost that i tried to run in on my server too, so i compiled it with the correct host(tested both,ip and domain) and uploaded it to my server
you can see the sourcecode here:
http://pastebin.com/YiCR0RCf
the problem is,that i can't add the service to my client application, nor can i open the http site in my browser (localhost it worked just fine)
i'm running this on a windows root server and disabled the firewall for this program.
Would be great if you could give me a hint in getting this to work correctly, as i spent the last 2 hours with randomly changing code and uploading the program hoping that it would work now.
Thanks
Ok it was the windows firewall, i completely disabled it(added an exception before,but that didn't help as i know now) and it works.
thanks anyways

RIA: "Use local IIS Web server"

I know I've had this problem when I started working with Silverlight, but I can't for the life of me remember how to fix it.
I created a new RIA service application using the standard tutorial, added a table from the database and added a grid to display the results. Works great. Now I pull open the Web properties and change the web project to "use local IIS Web server". Suddenly the application will load up and give me the friendly "NotFound" error.
Please, someone remind me what I'm missing here.
I ran into this problem recently, and resolved it with help from this post on the silverlight.net forums.
Basically, I had Windows authentication and annonymous access enabled at the same time, and I need to disable windows authentication and restart IIS.

Not sure what the missing part is but I always start with Fiddler as will show the messages going across the wire. The actual messages can contains far more useful that the browser is hiding from the Silverlight plugin
