在 Linux 主机上部署 Asp.net 核心 mvc 网站（godaddy）

Question

I'm using Visual Studio Community 2022, I've developed a web application with MySQL database and it works fine in Windows hosting and IIS, the problem appeared when I tried to deploy it in GoDaddy Linux host not Windows host. I did all my best with all required steps to deploy it on Linux hosting, when I contacted with godaddy help desk they tolled me that there is no any solution for my problem. Are there any one published ASP.NET Core MVC on Linux server especially on GoDaddy?

Answer 1

Well, first up, it seems to me a VERY and VERY BEYOND idea to develop on one platform, and worse yet a different OS then what you are deploying to.

Next up, you have to think of a web server JUST like your desktop computer. If you say use some PDF library, then that PDF viewer or library HAS to be installed on your computer for this to work.

Same goes for a web hosting server. If you going to run the .net runtimes on Linux, then you have to setup and install the .net runtimes and system on that Linux server.

You can no more build a program for windows desktop, and THEN decide that program is to now run on a Mac computer, or run on a Android phone.

So, in addition to placing your web site and your .net code that drives the web site on that Linux computer?

You also have to get onto that Linux computer, and install the .net framework, and systems you require.

For example, if you use MySQL as the database? Then that system ALSO has to be installed on that web server.

And if you using SQL server, as the database? Then you have to pick and choose a hosting system that has SQL server installed. Or better yet, pick a hosting plan, and then YOU must develop to the systems and software that is existing on that server.

So, if you decide to develop using PHP and say MySQL? That is VERY unlikely to run on a web site that runs the windows OS.

And if you decide to use PHP with SQL server? Then you have to ensure that the web hosting server (and plan) has support for PHP, and ALSO has SQL server installed and supported.

Unless you can say install SQL server on that server? And unless you can install the .net runtimes and systems on that server? Then you can't use that hosting plan, or else you go and find a hosting plan that:

Lets you install these systems. Or You choose a hosting plan that supports the set of tools you used to develop that web site and code with.

You can't just out of the blue install some windows software on a Mac computer.

And you can't out of the blue develop some software for Linux, and then expect that software to run on windows computers.

So, unless that hosting plan has all the librries, and bits and parts you used to devleop your software with? Then your software not even close to be able to work.

So, check your hosting plan. Does it support SQL server, or MySql? Maybe it only has Postgres SQL support.

Mabe the server does not support PHP - so you can't use that either.

Given that a windows hosting plan on go-daddy is what -- about an extra $2 or $3 dollars per month?

Then why not use and choose and adopt a plan that is windows based in place of Linux based.

The simple matter?

You either buy a hosting plan, check tools and software systems it supports. And then YOU MUST then choose those same developer tools for development.

Or you pick a set of development tools to use, and THEN go find a hosting plan that supports the software and systems you used for development.

However, be it desktop or web development?

You can no more install Android software on windows or Mac. And you can no more install Mac software on a windows desktop.

So, you have to ensure the given computer in question (your web server) has all the software systems and bits and parts installed on that server for YOUR software to run.

After you say been developing for a few years in .net, then I would suggest you get a local Linux computer up and running, and then say spend a month or two, and learning how to run a .net web site on that Linux computer. It certainly can be done, but there is a huge number of bits and parts you have to install, setup, learn to use, and quite a bit more to get this all working.

But you MUST drop this silly idea that any old web server will run any old web site you create.

in fact, EVEN WHEN you say develop using Linux tools, unless that target web server has the same database system, and all of the required systems you used for development? Then you can't even deploy software developed for and on a Linux computer to that Linux web server (unless it supports and has all of the systems and frameworks installed that YOU used to develop your site with).

Until you spend say a 6 months or maybe year or 2 at this?

I would fork out the extra $2 for a windows hosting plan on go-daddy, and go with that. But, even then, you have to determine if that web server in question supports say .net core and you used .net core. Or if not, then what .net framework version did you use for development? If the web server does not have that framework, then you can't use that hosting plan. For example, the latest .net framework (non core) is version 4.8, but some web hosting plans only recent adopted and support .net 4.8. As a result, you have to use .net 4.5, or even maybe .net 4.0 for your development platform.

So, you MUST ALWAYS develop your software based on what software and systems EXIST on the target web server.

No such thing as "just publish" to any old web server EVER existed in our industry. How this works for desktop computers, or a web server computer box is not really different.
