i have project has folder on server contains uploaded files. don't include in web deploy because it's massive!
so have wpp.targets file skips deleting folder , contents (an important consideration :-))
however, want move away manual server configuration i'd web deploy ensure iis_usrs group has write permission on usermedia folder (so never have remember check)
i found this article @sayed-ibrahim-hashimi gets me way there. msdeploy throws error while creating webdeploy package complaining folder not present set acl on - , isn't present on local machine...
so, question whether possible amend @sayed-ibrahim-hashimi's method can set acl if folder exists?
my wpp.targets file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"> <target name="setupcustomacls" aftertargets="addiissettingandfilecontentstosourcemanifest"> <itemgroup> <msdeploysourcemanifest include="setacl"> <path>$(_msdeploydirpath_fullpath)\usermedia</path> <setaclaccess>read,write</setaclaccess> <setaclresourcetype>directory</setaclresourcetype> <additionalprovidersettings>setaclresourcetype;setaclaccess</additionalprovidersettings> </msdeploysourcemanifest> </itemgroup> </target> <target name="declarecustomparameters" aftertargets="addiisandcontentdeclareparametersitems"> <itemgroup> <msdeploydeclareparameters include="usermediasetaclparam"> <kind>providerpath</kind> <scope>setacl</scope> <match>^$(_escaperegex_msdeploydirpath)\\usermedia</match> <description>add write permission usermedia folder.</description> <defaultvalue>{$(_msdeployparameternameforcontentpath)}/usermedia</defaultvalue> <value>$(_destinationcontentpath)/usermedia</value> <tags>hidden</tags> <priority>$(vssetaclpriority)</priority> <excludefromsetparameter>true</excludefromsetparameter> </msdeploydeclareparameters> </itemgroup> </target> <propertygroup> <onbeforepackageusingmanifest>addcustomskiprules</onbeforepackageusingmanifest> </propertygroup> <propertygroup> <usemsdeployexe>true</usemsdeployexe> </propertygroup> <target name="addcustomskiprules"> <itemgroup> <msdeployskiprules include="skipusermediafiles"> <skipaction>delete</skipaction> <objectname>filepath</objectname> <absolutepath>usermedia$</absolutepath> <xpath></xpath> </msdeployskiprules> <msdeployskiprules include="skipusermediafolder"> <skipaction>delete</skipaction> <objectname>dirpath</objectname> <absolutepath>usermedia$</absolutepath> <xpath></xpath> </msdeployskiprules> <msdeployskiprules include="skipappfiles"> <skipaction>delete</skipaction> <objectname>filepath</objectname> <absolutepath>apps$</absolutepath> <xpath></xpath> </msdeployskiprules> <msdeployskiprules include="skipappfolder"> <skipaction>delete</skipaction> <objectname>dirpath</objectname> <absolutepath>apps$</absolutepath> <xpath></xpath> </msdeployskiprules> </itemgroup> </target> </project>
