In our installation of MCS (SP3, FP1) when trying to publish
profiles form business desk we recieve the following error:

Publish profiles failed.
The refresh page on the site could not be accessed. The returned error
is: 404 Not Found

What page is this messge about and how to correct this?

I'm not certain which file it is; but it's either BDRefresh.aspx or
RefreshApp.aspx that it is trying to access.  These pages should both be in
the root VDir of your runtime site (for a default CSharp.pup site, this
would be http://localhost/CSharpSite/).  This could also be a permissions
problem if the pages do exist.  Examine your web logs for more information.

Thanks,
David

Thanks for your answer!
Further investigation results are the following:

1. "Publish profiles" page in business desk is
"Profiles/RefreshProfileSvcAll.asp"

2. This file contains the line that causes the problem:

refreshform.sWebPath.value = "http://" &
oSelection.SelectSingleNode(".//webserver").text &
":" & sPort & "/" & oSelection.SelectSingleNode(".//application").text &
"/" & "RefreshApp.asp"

3. This file ("RefreshApp.asp") can be found on our site.

4. When changing this line to the following, it works:

refreshform.sWebPath.value = "http://" &
"our.site.host.name" &
":" & sPort & "/" & oSelection.SelectSingleNode(".//application").text &
"/" & "RefreshApp.asp"

5. But on the business desk screen our site host name is displayed
correctly!.


Please, advice.

That webserver value is created in the function GetServerList; and I don't
believe it's exactly what is displayed on the BizDesk page.  From what I
can see, it is created by combining the site resources
s_WebServerMachineName and s_VirtualRootName.  Try verifying that the
values for those site resources are correct; and maybe step through the
GetServerList function to see exactly what is getting placed into the HTML.

But from the fix you described, I believe you want to use the host name
instead of the machine name when publishing the profiles.  If you can't
make the machine name directly accessible by BizDesk, you can modify the
code in GetServerList to use the host name instead of the machine name.  I
think you can replace s_WebServerMachineName with s_SecureHostName to
accomplish this.  Just be sure to backup everything before you make changes.

Hope this works for you
David

Where can I find these resources? I tried to locate them through
MSCS Manager, but failed.

I do not want to, but I see no difference. 
What's the difference between using machine name and host name in
this operation?

The secure host name, nonsecure host name, and virtual root name are
available in the Commerce Server Manager MMC by checking the properties of
the application (Commerce Sites --> <your site> --> Applications --> <your
application> ).  I'm not actually sure where the machine name is editable -
as far as I know, this is created read-only when you unpack the site.  But
phyiscally, these properties are stored in the ResourceProps table of the
MSCS_Admin database.

Often, the machine name and host name will be the same (for intranet).  But
if exposed externally, the host name will usually be different (i.e.
www.foo.com).  Which one you want to use just depends which form is visible
from the web servier hosting BizDesk (and under the security context of the
web server).

Thanks,
David

Thanks for your help!

It works now. The issue was in my IIS configuration: it was
configured to show the site only when accesing with the use of host
name. When I made it answer using the machine name as well, it began to
work properly.
