Mobile Foundation on Bluemix - ibm-mobilefirst

I am trying to create Mobile Foundation service on Bluemix, but clicking on start server it shows this can take 10 min to complete but after few minutes it shows an error:
"Container service: Failed to deploy container."

Whatever the problem was, it seems to be resolved now.
I've successfully created a Mobile Foundation service instance.
Try again.

IIS pool stops on first request

I have .net framework 4.8 web site deployed on IIS 10. And It's pool stops on every first request after each start.
Here is the list of programs and features on server:
Programs and features
In Application Windows log I found 10 errors per each request. Everyone error is:
The Module DLL C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\aspnetcore.dll failed to
load. The data is the error.
And in System log I have warning:
A listener channel for protocol 'http' in worker process '2968' serving application pool '{MyPoolName}' reported a listener channel failure. The data field contains the error number.
With binary data in details tab: In Words 0000: 8007007E
I tried to repair installed version of .net 5. Also tried to install .net framework 4.8, but installer didn't allow to do it because of:
.NET Framework 4.8 or a later update is already installed on this
computer.
I even tried to create site with empty directory. When I create one on my computer it shows "403.14 — Forbidden" as it should. But after doing the same on server empty site pool stops as my site's pool.
Have you ever faced such a problem? I have no idea how to fix it!
I have .net framework 4.8 web site deployed on IIS 10. And my IIS pool stopped on first request. Researching similair issues I found this artcle on the Microsoft Monitoring Agent APM service. This service was disabled, I removed the Microsoft Monitoring Agent APM as it was not being used. My application now successfully launches.

Thank you for your help. I solve the problem with complete reinstallation of server OS and components. My consider is that the problem was into iis or OS component.

Windows 8.1 wcf communciation common algorithm exception

We encountered a strange problem with a piece of software that works already for 5 years. Recently we changed pc's and we're now developing on windows 8.1
The issue: We have a website that in the background connects to a wcf service that's using a certificate. Then we launch the website and try to logon.
First we found out that we had an exception:
The socket connection was aborted. This could be caused by an error processing your message or a receive timeout being exceeded by the remote host, or an underlying network resource issue. Local socket timeout was '00:19:59.9910127'
A strange message because we had this immediatly so we didn't need to wait 20 minutes to timeout.
Because we needed to found out what exactly was going on we tried this setup on another pc with windows 8.1 Everything worked perfectly, the website didn't had any issues.
Then we decided to swap the connections and see if we could reproduce so we ended up like this:
My to collegae => ok
Collegae to my => ok
Collegae to itself => ok
My to myself => error
Then I tried to search for answers in the windows log books. In the system log book. I found that there where issues with the tls protocol.
Windows eventid 36888, Windows eventid 36874
Then we searched for issues around tls because of those 2 event id's but we couldn't find anything.
What's even more strange is that we have a thick client also locally installed on my machine that connects via the same wcf services and this one works also correctly. The thick client and website are written in C#.
I enabled the wcf trace for the web client connection.
I share this file via this link: wcf-log
When opened in the Microsoft Service Trace Viewer on the tab page Activity the last message contains the error.
The client and server cannot communicate, because they do not possess a common algorithm
After a lot of research it ended up to be TLS 1.2
As soon as this was disabled everything works like a charm.
Other tests that we did where
creating a project in .net 3.5 and an exact copy in .net 4.0
The result was that .net 3.5 worked like a charm and .net 4.0 failed like described above.
By this last test we searched the web again and found out a link that maybe could help us.
WCF .NET 4.0 doesn't work without TLS 1.0
The tool showed us that we had enabled everything but by reading the post we saw that we could have another issue because we also had sql server 2014 installed on this machine installed.
I really hope if someone has this issue he finds this post. This kept us busy for 3 days.

Azure Service Bus deployment

I am using the Azure service bus for message transfer between different services. I have written a simple windows application to give to the 3rd party customer to test that their system can talk to the service bus. All it does is post a message on a button click and receive the message back from the same queue.
This system works fine on my development machine but when I test it on another machine it fails timing out when trying to post. Microsoft.ServiceBus.dll & Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Configuration.dll have both been deployed with the application.
Is there an SDK that I need to install on the deployment machine as well. I have looked but all I seem to find are SDK's for VS. The application is running in .NET 4.0 due to target the old target machines that we have to work with.
Problem was due to a network issue on some machines. Nothing else needed to be installed

Windows Store Application unable to access localhost WCF service and throws EndpoingNotFoundException

I have a solution which basically contains three components:
• WCF Service that is hosted locally having a back-end SQL Server Express DB and this WCF service is hosted from a Windows Service
• A console application
• A Windows Store Application
This is what they are meant to do:
• WCF service his hosted locally and is used by the console app and the store app for communicating with the database
• The console app adds an image for processing to the database by contacting the WCF service
• The store app will at regular time look for unprocessed images in database via the WCF service and will process them
Now, the difficulty is:
• The WCF service is hosted successfully and is working absolutely fine and I can check that by hitting its URL http://localhost:8081/XYZ
• The console app is also able to submit images to the WCF service and add their local paths to the database
• The store app however always throws the EndpointNotFoundException when accessing the service at that same localhost path
What have I tried:
• I have tried almost everything from searching through stackoverflow to googling and haven't found a solution yet
• I was thinking that it might be a port issue and so I turned off the firewall to check this, but it did not work, and the store app kept throwing the EndpointNotFoundException
What have worked:
• The complete set-up has, however, worked perfectly on my machine. It is strange that its not working on my client's Windows 8 machine.
Point to be noted:
• The complete solution has been developed in Visual Studio 2013 and the App is for Windows 8.1
• I am not sure, but it seems my client has a Windows 8 machine and we are installing the app on that. (Possibly, that might be a problem. But I'll check)
If there is any help someone could provide me, I'll be really greatful. Thanks in advance!
This is expected. Windows Store apps cannot connect back to the local system in production. This loopback prohibition is disabled for debugging.
See How to enable loopback and troubleshoot network isolation
If your app is to be side-loaded rather than deployed through the store then see Using network loopback in side-loaded Windows Store apps

IBM Worklight 6.0 - Busy indicator remains displayed in AppCenter client

After successfully building the AppCenter client application and launching it in an iOS device, my problem is that when I enter my Worklight Server credentials, the server URL and the port and with or without the applicationcenter context, the loading progress keeps running...
How to solve this issue?
I agree with Idan, first thing to do is to run the application center client on the iOS emulator and look at the device logs. I have seen the loading never ending when the client was not compiled correctly, note that the native folder of the application center client worklight project contains native code (a cordova plugin) that needs to be present in order for the application to run properly. If this is the problem you are facing, the cordova log will tell you that the plugin named 'com.ibm.mobile.InstallerPlugin' is missing.
