I'm recreating my development databases in Azure. I have been able to delete/create new ones for over 100 times in the past 3 days with no issue. Small amount of times until the database is fully created, but not too bad.
Today, Saturday, the database is not created and it is not updated probably. So, if I start the DB creation like this: (see pic1)
it says that it is validated and then gives me the message that Deployment has Started, but no DB is created (see pic2)
so, I check the audit log and it claims that the DB deployment has succeeded per (see pic3)
but still my database list is still empty (see pic4) and the darn deployment started is still spinning
I have already tried signing out/in and different browser, but no luck, Is there anything else I could do!? I need my DB.

I ran into similar issues. This is an issue with azure. All you have to do is wait it out.
I remember I had this issue on a sunday night, then monday morning it was working perfectly fine.

Updating production database via DACPAC upgrade [closed]

Using a DACPAC to upgrade a data-tier application database is an 'in-place process' as per the documentation.
My question is, how do you go about updating your production databases?
Do you just apply the DACPAC directly to the production database, and then roll back if anything goes wrong?
Obviously you would test this first in a dev, test or staging environment but I'm wondering if there are any other options?
We used dacpacs, but always tested the rollout against a nearly identical dev/test/uat system first. For really sensitive prod rollouts, sometimes I'd generate the change script/report first to make sure it was going to do what I expected. If that looked good, I'd let it run. (sometimes the process needed advanced permissions from the CICD engine that I didn't have with my account)

I have hosted my Prestashop at Fastdomain server it's like the 4th year, the website is stable and working fine till 3 days ago where my email inbox got full of spam and more than 300K requests on the site causing the site to go down.
I activated the basic protection from Sitelock provided from Fastdomain Cpanel, it worked fine for two days and the site is down again cuz of another strike.
Fastdomain support tried to fix it but no instant method they said the problem is caused due to script overuse in send to friend module, even though this module is an original PrestaShop module, and they said the website will "recover" in few hours.
any comment or thoughts? how t respond to such attack!?
my website is elektrojo.com and am using the up to date version
This appears to be a common problem. Not only is it taking your site down, it may be being used to spam others, which has the risk of getting your domain blacklisted.
In that thread was linked an updated version of the module supporting a CAPTCHA, along with a similar modification for product reviews. It seems to be for PrestaShop 1.5 and 1.6.
If you have some kind of a "backend" which you can update modules on, you should also do that.
Another suggestion is to use fail2ban to detect repeated attempts to access this feature and block it. You may not have the necessary access to do that, but if not, your hosts should be able to.
Failing that, you should remove the sendtoafriend code (ensure the files are actually gone from their original location) until you have found a way to harden it, since it's being abused to take your site down.

Will the product keys received through the BizSpark program still work after the MSDN subscription expires?
I'm currently using Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2013 which I got through BizSpark. I was wondering what happens when the subscription ends. Will all my installed products expire or can I still use the claimed keys after the subscription ends?
A quick answer before this gets closed...my recent experience with MSDN is that
keys that do not require activation continue to work indefinitely
products that have been activated continue to work indefinitely
keys that require activation are historically quite variable in behaviour, but now mostly will no longer activate after your subscription has expired.
you cannot claim new keys once your subscription expires.
MSDN is an amazing resource and very reasonably priced. Best thing is to regard it as a lifetime subscription. Having said that, we usually make sure we claim a few extra keys before we roll over each subscription. Some work, some don't.
Microsoft has been unhelpful in providing information about this, which I find quite understandable.

Last night I mailed USPS customer care executive and they had switched my account to production server in USPS.I got mail from them in which I got this message
Dear USPS Customer,
Thank you for contacting us. Congratulations on completing your
testing using the U.S. Postal Services Internet Shipping Application
Program Interfaces (APIs). Your profile has been updated to allow you
access to the Production Server.
1. The Production Server URL is: http://production.shippingapis.com. For APIs calling the secure server, the URL is
https://secure.shippingapis.com.
2. There is a line of code that refers to "shippingapitest.dll". You'll need to remove the word "test".
In the test server code I was using
$usps->setServer("http://testing.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPITest.dll");
Now I tried using this code today
$usps->setServer("http://production.shippingapis.com");
even I tried this code to get responce
$usps->setServer("http://production.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPI.dll");
Please any one used USPS in past help me.
Here is the link which helped me to test USPS in Test serverlink text
Thanks in Advance
I called USPS last night and mentioned them about the error I was getting in the production URL they asked for my User Id and told me to try and the code was working fine.Thus don't waste time and call customer care executive

I am currently working on a project that is hosted at GoDaddy and it has a large database. (Periodically inserting millions of rows). It keeps filling the transaction logs and since GoDaddy sets the SQL user up without permission to basically do anything, I cannot truncate it. The 200mb database max is not ideal either. A VPS isn't in the cards for this company just yet, so I am stuck trying to find a shared hosting provider that office SQL Server 2008 only hosting.
Soooooo, my question is, does anyone know of a hosting company that does SQL Server 2008 hosting that they can vouch for and give high marks?
Cheers guys & gals!
To make a long story short, the more resources you use, the less likely you will be able to use a shared service provider to meet your needs. If you run a Google search, you will find numerous :) However, at some point you will need to get some dedicated resources if you plan on using SQL Server.
It sounds like you are trying to save costs, which is totally understandable, but as the old saying goes "you pay cheap, you pay twice".
DiscountASP.NET looks like a good option for a problem I'm working on at the moment which has similar requirements. They start you off with 500MB of space (+1GB TLog), and you can sign up for more.
Disclaimer: I haven't signed up with them yet, but I've been looking at some of the alternatives, and I keep heading back...
