Sitecore 9: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.String Sitecore.ContentSearch.Abstractions.ISettings.

Sitecore® 9.0 Platform Essentials for Developers eLearning Lab Module Error

I was recently doing the Sitecore® 9.0 Platform Essentials for Developers eLearning Lab Modules and in last modules I started getting the below error

System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.String Sitecore.ContentSearch.Abstractions.ISettings.

Out of clue because I did everything as per the guide and end up in error, I figured out from the exception that it has to do with some DLL which is not finding the method the code is trying to reference.

So I backtrack the module and found out that there were two nuget packages were installed and one of them was Sitecore.ContentSearch.dll, So when you publish the site this DLL got overwritten with the existing which was available with existing sitecore installation In your WWWROOOT

I had a back up of the sitecore installation folder from WWWROOT and I took the DLL from that and put replaced it in the WWWROOT folder and to make sure it works now, browse the site and everything started working

May be any of you are facing the same issues, you should have the original DLL from sitecore installation and reference it instead of the nuget package, if the problem still persist (I hope in future this will not be the case with nuget)

Hope it helps !!!

Zero to Hero - A real life RCA of exact issue in Sitecore Managed Cloud environment

Hello All, The purpose of today's post is to share a real life burning and escalated scenario which was new to me and how did I approach it and how big the escalations were and what was the outcome Sitecore's goodwill was at stack not because Sitecore is not capable of handling it but just because our environment was Sitecore Managed Cloud, and any issue that comes if its infra, back end code, front end code will be first pointed as Sitecore issue and that is where our consultancy and experience will play a role to prove that it is not Sitecore issue. Issue we faced Out of the blue our site started giving "504 Gateway Time-out", and it was reported that almost everyone is getting this error, but when we used to browse the site, everything looked good and never 504. 504 Gateway Time-out error tells that, That the request went to Content Delivery servers of Sitecore from gateway, but gateway did not get response in time from those CDs and hence it gave time out error. ...

If you think you also have faced the same issue and you tired of reading MSDN KBs for it and still have not found the issue (If KB has solved the issue, well and good, if not you can try this trick),Please Read below Typical scenario In typical hosting with IIS, i did every possible things like enabling windows authentication, changing it in web.config, configuring connection pool, authorization rules, it asks me for window authentication login and despite of entering correct credentials it always fails and keeps on asking for login, and when pressed cancel it gives 401.1 with 0xc000006d error code Solution (Which worked for me at-least after trying for almost 6-9 hrs) You need to change the Loop Back Check in registry so that it allows the host names which you are giving in url are allowed and au...

An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.

You have noticed many times that everything was working fine and suddenly the below error starts coming and you find no way to work it out An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details. The reason for this is the receiving size of WCF service is smaller then the data which is coming from service It was working before because it was small,So you will have to try to increase the receiving setting in your end point,Possible settings can be following maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" That would definately help you!!!
