I've been working for a long time trying to use web deploy option in Visual Studio 2010 to publish to IIS 6 server having windows server 2003 installed. I've installed the web deployment agent on the server, started the service and followed all instructions founded in this link

http://www.troyhunt.com/2010/11/you-deploying-it-wrong-teamcity_24.html

But every time i get the same error

Error 33 Web deployment task failed.(Could not connect to the destination computer ("iportal.g-beehive.com") using the specified process ("Web Deployment Agent Service") because the server did not respond. Make sure that the process ("Web Deployment Agent Service") is started on the destination computer.)

Could not connect to the destination computer ("iportal.g-beehive.com") using the specified process ("Web Deployment Agent Service") because the server did not respond. Make sure that the process ("Web Deployment Agent Service") is started on the destination computer. The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request. 0 0 GuciPortalWebProject

As you see I get (400) bad request error.....I didn't find any solution for this it seems every body is using IIS 7 but I can only use IIS 6 with windows server 2003....Any Help would be greatly appreciated.....

To know what the issue is you can go to the destination server (iportal...) and run a diagnostic test:

  1. Open a command prompt window and run: netsh http show urlacl This will show you all the reservations and you will have something like:

    Reserved URL : http://+:80/MSDEPLOYAGENTSERVICE/ User: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE Listen: Yes Delegate: No SDDL: D:(A;;GX;;;NS)

  2. Make sure this port is open in the firewall.

  3. Navigate to <systemdrive>\program files\iis\microsoft web deploy (it might be "Microsoft web deploy v2" if that is what you installed)
  4. Execute the following command: msdeploy -verb:dump -source:dirpath=c:\temp,computername=http://machinename:<portnumberfromabove>/msdeployagentservice,username=<username>,password=<password> -verbose -debug

If this still fails, this should give you a detailed output about why its failing to connect.

I tried your advise, but it did nothing. I also try to go to myhost:80/MSDEPLOYAGENTSERVICE using Chrome and it kind of work. It ask be my credential and then, a blank page. VS keep giving me the error "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request."
