Bala - did you run the appcmd scripts to enable the net.msmq protocol for the web site and your specific application?

Sam Gentile — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 16:27:14 GMT

Tom,

I had a problem with the appcmd command:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC>appcmd set app "Default Web Site

/MsmqService" /enabledProtocols:net.msmq

ERROR ( message:Must use exact identifer for APP object with verb SET. )

What am I doing wrong?

re: MSMQ, WCF and IIS: Getting them to play nice (Part 1)

Sam Gentile — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 16:37:13 GMT

Even if I do it for the whole site, I am getting that net.msmq is not supported:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC>appcmd set site "Default Web Sit

e" -+bindings.[protocol='net.msmq',bindingInformation='localhost']

SITE object "Default Web Site" changed

Server Error in '/' Application.

The protocol 'net.msmq' is not supported.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

I see now that you said, "Unfortunately there isn't any equivalent way to "browse" to an MSMQ service, so simple configuration errors can be very hard to track down. " So in the last reply, that's what I was trying to do.

After setting the whole site for net.msmq, I get messages in the MSMQ private queue. However, I don't think they are getting picked up by the service. I can't find a trace. Is it writing a trace somewhere? How can I tell if the service is getting the message?

tomholl — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 23:58:17 GMT

Hi Sam -

Make sure you run both appcmd scripts successfully. The site-level one is required to enable the binding, and the app-level one to switch it on for that specific app. If you're getting a "protocol not supported" message it looks like you didn't successfully switch it on for the site.

If messages are not being picked up from the queue, then either your service isn't listening at all, or it's trying to listen but it's unable to receive for some reason (eg permissions). If you switch on WCF diagnostics (the normal way, using the <system.serviceModel><diagnostics> section) you may get some clues. If nothing is logged, it means the service may not be listening at all.

Hi Tom,

First thank you for such work, as hosting in WAS is not so frequent...

I have the same effect Sam has. Using sample adapted to fit Part I, my queue is filled, but nobody pick up the messages.

So I followed your "troubleshooting" section and activate http to check WCF config.

And funny part, when I browse the svc, the website starts running and ... the messages are picked up, trace.log generated and messages disappeared from the queue ! wonderful !

Each time I recycle the queue, or restart the website, I have the same effect: need to browse the svc to start the pumping mechanism.

I certainly miss something....

Thanks a lot if you have an idea...

Sam, do you notice the same effect ?

Laurent - this probably means that the net.msmq listener service doesn't have permission to peek from the queue. The service itself is able to receive the messages, but it can't be woken up by the net.msmq listener. Make sure that the account that the net.msmq service runs under (NETWORK SERVICE by default) has the necessary permissions.

Tom,

Thanks ! this was a security issue. Although NETWORK SERVICE has full control to the queue, it did'nt work. I had to give full right to the computer account (<computername>$) on the queue in order to work.

No time to check why, I just wanted to validate we can host WCF services "natively" in Windows Server 2008, I'm happy with that !

Thanks again,

Laurent

Thanks for a great article about WCF - MSMQ - IIS7

I had trouble removing the messages automatically from the queue and then I found in the Services application a service called:

"NetMsmqActivator"

with display name:

"Net.Msmq Listener Adapter"

and desription:

"Receives activation requests over the net.msmq and msmq.formatname protocols and passes them to the Windows Process Activation Service."

and this service was "disabled" by default on my machine... I changed the startup type to "automatic" and started it, then I received the messages no problem.

方案的设计目标是在Client/Server端建立可靠的、异步的通信。系统采用MSMQ作为传输机制，因为MSMQ支持可靠的队列通信。MSMQ部署在三方Server上（一般集群部署，避免单点故障）。Client端应用程序使用WCF的NetMsmqBingding 来发送消息到MSMQ Server的私有队列。Service 服务程序将部署在IIS 7.0，并采用Windows Activation Services（WAS）来监听消息队列上的新消息。通过SMSvnHost.exe – Windows
