It looks like there are a number of questions already open on this topic, but I believe mine might be different. My setup:
- 1 Azure Cache Worker Role
- 1 Web Role
Up until about a week ago, they existed in harmony, until I tried to upgrade to Azure caching 2.1. Once I did that, I was afflicted with the "No such host is known" problem that seems to have affected many developers out there. I found many questions and sites that directed me to upgrade my Azure SDK installation to the new 2.1 version. I have done all of these things:
- Install newest Azure SDK 2.1
- Uninstall Azure SDK 2.0
- Uninstall and Reinstall Azure Caching 2.1
- Triple check configuration of all my caching settings
- Triple check that all references are pointing to the newest versions and not the old ones
- Upgrade my Azure Project to 2.1 by right-click, going to Properties, and clicking Upgrade
and I am still getting the following (My Error):
Exception type: SocketException
Exception message: No such host is known
at System.Net.Dns.HostResolutionEndHelper(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
This is different than the more typical error that most other questions and sites are showing, which is (More commonly reported error, not mine):
No such host is known
Exception message: No such host is known
at Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.AsyncResultNoResult.EndInvoke()
I am about 30 hours into troubleshooting this, and could really use some help. Maybe I am just missing some step about the upgrade of the SDK? Somehow maybe sneakily it is still using an old version of a DLL? Is there some foolproof way to check this besides looking at the path of every reference in the project (which I have already done, and they all match up)?
