Web Farm Support

In the help document for web farm support step 5, alternative configuration it says:
Open the following text file in Notepad:
“$root\Providers\CachingProviders\BroadcastPollingCachingProvider\Providers\S
QLDataProvider\ 03.01.00.SqlDataProvider”

I cannot find that directory anywhere in my dnn installations. Where can I get, or how do I install the Broadcast Polling Caching Provider?

Need help ASAP.

Thanks,
Chas

Re: Web Farm Support

I know this isnt an ASAP answer (many months later) but for those out there that are looking for the same file, it was distributed last with the 3.3.5 install. It doesnt look like it's been touched since the 3.01.00 release.

on a positive note it still works as of 4.0.2 anyway.

Re: Web Farm Support

Hi Chaz..

Never load balanced DNN sites before but i read the following in the DNN Webfarm support doc...

"

The web farm configuration that DotNetNuke initially supports involves two or more

front end web servers (“web-heads”) whose IIS website root directories are mapped to a

common UNC share on a remote file server. The UNC share contains the application

source code as well as any static content for the individual sites. Each web server

connects to a remote database server for dynamic application content. This configuration

allows any of the web servers to be removed from the farm without interrupting service

for the web users browsing the sites.

"

Also have a look at

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/technologies/webapp/iis/remstorg.mspx

I would imagine this would give you a good indication on how to set things up?
