Sitecore XP/XC 10 installation fails at WebDeploy task

-


 Recently I have encountered the error below when trying to run the WebDeploy task.

Install-SitecoreConfiguration : Command C:\Program Files\iis\Microsoft Web Deploy V3\msdeploy.exe returned a non-zero

exit code - (-1073741819)

At C:\SitecoreXC10_Install\XC10\SIF.Sitecore.Commerce.5.0.42\sc100_com_install.ps1:292 char:5

+     Install-SitecoreConfiguration @deployCommerceParams -Verbose *>&1

+     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,Install-SitecoreConfiguration

Normally it could be fixed by installing the following missing prerequisites

  • Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server 
  • Microsoft Command Line Utilities for SQL Server
  • DacFx and SQLSysCLRTypes.
However I tried install/reinstall all the them but still failing.

With a stroke of luck, I closed the normal powershell window and reopen another one in x86 mode & ran that task.

This time, it executed successfully!

My guess is that somewhere in my local PC, WebDeploy is configured to run only in x86 mode of Powershell.

If someone can point me into fixing that, let me know in the comment.

For now, this is good enough for me to carry on.

Happy Sitecoring!

[Azure App Service] Error Rendering Sitecore.JavaScriptServices.ViewEngine.Presentation.JsLayoutRenderer: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: address

Scenario : Sitecore deployed on Azure App Service running JSS in Integrated Mode. I ran everything by the book (aka followed the link here: https://jss.sitecore.com/docs/techniques/azure-deployment) doing step 3 & 4 However loading the site and an yellow page of death showing the above error. A few hours of scratching the head and searching the web went by... Found this gem on the web: https://blog.yannickreekmans.be/use-node-js-64-bit-on-azure-app-service/ It turns out that you have to let the App Service know the version of Node.js running on your app service.  So I added this application setting in my app service and it works like a charm: So what went wrong in the guide from Sitecore?  I rechecked step 2 which are mentioned as optional! Well, it is. However don't forget to complete step 2.6 like what I did. Happy Sitecoring!

Troubleshooting Sitecore XP 9.2 - Experience Analytics error - Exception System.ArgumentNullException: typeKey should not be null.

It isn't uncommon when you open up the Experience Analytics dashboard hoping to see some beautiful graphs and charts showing analytics data and boom! It welcomes you with the ugly red lines: I am usually very calm when dealing with errors in this dashboard because I have seen many root causes and found the fixes for them. Usually they are caused by certificate issues here or there . But this time looking at the log in the website, it shows a brand new error: 30240 10:24:37 ERROR [Sitecore Services]: HTTP GET URL http://mydomain.dev.local/sitecore/api/ao/aggregates/all/0751EFD8564F40A38083EF5C6E194247/-3191897772735422194?&dateGrouping=by-auto&&dateFrom=18-01-2020&dateTo=16-04-2020&keyGrouping=by-key Exception System.ArgumentNullException: typeKey should not be null.
