Environment Configuration
Get an overview of parameters of the environment configuration when deploying on a Windows Server
You should use the environment configuration (env.cscfg) when deploying on a Windows Server with the AzureBlobSync tool.
Example:
<Settings> <add name="Environment.IsThisTheLowestInstance" value="true" /> <add name="Environment.NumberOfInstances" value="1" /> <add name="Environment.DeploymentId" value="ws2012-deployment" /> <add name="Environment.RoleInstanceId" value="DemoRole1" /> <add name="Environment.RoleInstanceName" value="DemoRole" /> <add name="Environment.WebsitesPath" value="c:\www" /> <add name="Environment.RootPath" value="c:\AzureBlobSync" /> <add name="WebRole.Iis.DeleteDefaultSites" value="false" /> <add name="WebRole.Iis.ManageIisConfiguration" value="true" /> <add name="WebRole.SmtpServer.Install" value="true" /> </Settings>
The following is the overview of all the available parameters.
Configuration Settings (Environment)
| Parameter | Description | Value |
| IsThisTheLowestInstance | Indicates whether the "content management" instance is enabled for the “lowest” instance of the website when upsync is enabled and there are multiple deployment instances (as the setup does not support multiple “content management” instances.) | ['true' or 'false'] |
| NumberOfInstances | The number of instances | [e.g. '1'] |
| DeploymentId | The deployment ID. Used internally. | [e.g. 'ws2012-deployment'] |
| RoleInstanceId | The role instance ID. Used internally. | [e.g. 'DemoRole1'] |
| RoleInstanceName | The role instance name. Used internally. | [e.g. 'DemoRole'] |
| WebsitePath | The folder where required website folders will be created. | [e.g. 'c:\www'] |
| RootPath | The path where the C1AzureBlobSync tool will create temporary files (for example, download cache, etc) | [e.g. 'c:\AzureBlobSync'] |
Configuration Settings (WebRole)
| Parameter | Description | Value |
| Iis.DeleteDefaultSite | Indicates whether the C1AzureBlobSync tool will clear all the websites from the IIS before setting up a new one ('true' by default). When deploying locally, it is important to set this parameter to 'false'. | ['true' or 'false'] |
| Iis.ManageIisConfiguration | Indicates whether the IIS will be configured automatically. If the website is created manually or in another way not involving the C1AzureBlobSync tool, you can disable the IIS configuration altogether by setting this parameter to 'false'. | ['true' or 'false'] |
| SmtpServer.Install | Indicates whether the SMTP service will be installed on the server ('true' by default). You can disallow the SMTP service installation by setting this parameter to 'false'. | ['true' or 'false'] |
