Need some help to set up web application always running

question
1

Hello,

I am suffering to set up my web application with hangfire always running.

I followed the instruction on the document page(http://docs.hangfire.io/en/latest/deployment-to-production/making-aspnet-app-always-running.html) and red similar topics in this forum but I do not know what I did wrong.

Could you help me to set up always running properly?

First of all, my web application is using owin.

namespace ApiService.Scheduler
{
    public class Startup
    {
        public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
        {
            ...

            HangfireBootstrapper.Instance.Start();

            app.UseHangfireDashboard("/hangfire", new DashboardOptions
            {
                AuthorizationFilters = new[] { new AnonymousAuthorizationFilter() }
            });

            var properties = new AppProperties(app.Properties);
            CancellationToken token = properties.OnAppDisposing;
            if (token != CancellationToken.None)
            {
                token.Register(() =>
                {
                    HangfireBootstrapper.Instance.Stop();
                });
            }

            var manager = new RecurringJobManager();
            manager.AddOrUpdate("job1", Job.FromExpression(() => CapitalClaimsJob.Run()), "*/2 7-20 * * MON-FRI", TimeZoneInfo.Local);
        }
    }
}

namespace ApiService.Scheduler.Infrastructure
{
    public class ApplicationPreload : IProcessHostPreloadClient
    {
        public void Preload(string[] parameters)
        {
            HangfireBootstrapper.Instance.Start();
        }
    }
}

namespace ApiService.Scheduler.Infrastructure
{
    public class HangfireBootstrapper : IRegisteredObject
    {
        // exactly same as document code
    }
}

I changed %WINDIR%\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config like as following

<configuration>
    ...
    <system.applicationHost>

        <applicationPools>
            <add name="DefaultAppPool" />
            <add name=".NET v4.5 Classic" managedRuntimeVersion="v4.0" managedPipelineMode="Classic" />
            <add name=".NET v4.5" managedRuntimeVersion="v4.0" />
            <add name="Classic .NET AppPool" managedRuntimeVersion="v2.0" managedPipelineMode="Classic" />
            <add name=".NET v2.0 Classic" managedRuntimeVersion="v2.0" managedPipelineMode="Classic" />
            <add name=".NET v2.0" managedRuntimeVersion="v2.0" />
            <add name="Hangfire" autoStart="true" startMode="AlwaysRunning" />
            <applicationPoolDefaults managedRuntimeVersion="v4.0">
                <processModel identityType="ApplicationPoolIdentity" />
            </applicationPoolDefaults>
        </applicationPools>
        ...
        <sites>
            <site name="Hangfire" id="1" serverAutoStart="true">
                <application path="/" serviceAutoStartEnabled="true" serviceAutoStartProvider="ApplicationPreload">
                    <virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="C:\webapp\hangfire" />
                </application>
                <bindings>
                    <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:80:" />
                </bindings>
            </site>
            ...
        </sites>

        <serviceAutoStartProviders>
            <add name="ApplicationPreload" type="ApiService.Scheduler.Infrastructure.ApplicationPreload, ApiService.Scheduler" />
        </serviceAutoStartProviders>        

        <webLimits />

    </system.applicationHost>
    ...
</configuration>

I made like this but every morning application is dead and I have to start recurring job manually Q.Q

Did you ever figure this out? I also am using OWIN and cannot seem to mix the example from the document link correctly with my Owin Config class to make it work.
