About a month ago I finished reading the book ASP.NET MVC 1.0 – Test Driven Development by Emad Ibrahim. The book weighs in only at about 300 pages, making it easily something you can read in a couple of nights. The book is written in tutorial fashion and is is probably best read with a [...]
While reading the EPiServer 5 SDK documentation, i found this:
Rename a Folder
There is no Rename method on the EPiServer.Web.Hosting.UnifiedDirectory class. To rename a folder you need to call the MoveTo method as follows:
protected void RenameFolder(string path, string oldName, string name)

The autorestart caused mono to hang and not restart at all, so my site stopped responding every 6th hour. I quickly had to disable this. Still I had the memory consumption problems. From various sources [...]
Lately I have been experiencing that the mod-mono-server2 process running on the server hosting the video upload web-service (I blogged about this in my last post) has been consuming a lot of memory. Once, it even reached the point where all memory (1.5GB) of the server was consumed and the Linux OOM-killer killed the mod-mono-server2 [...]
