The page cannot be found

edited April 2004 in Server
Hello

I have compiled rbServer.dpr in "Reports in Delphi forms" tutorial, and the
project myWebTier in order to get to reports via web.

I have configured the IIS. I cannot say it is OK, because I have the
following error:

"The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed,
or is temporarily unavailable.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please try the following:

If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is
spelled correctly.

Open the 127.0.0.1 home page, and then look for links to the information you
want.
Click the Back button to try another link.
Click Search to look for information on the Internet.



HTTP 404 - File not found
Internet Explorer"

I know I'm getting to the webserver so, what can be wrong?.

I'm lost!.

Thank you

F?lix

    Most common causes would be incorrectly configured WebTier or IIS.

    1. Check out the following article for configuring IIS user accounts.

    2. Check your TrsWebTier settings for CacheDirectory, WebCachePath and
    WebModuleURI. (See the \RBServer\Tutorials\Complete directory for the
    completed tutorials).


    ----------------------------------------
    RB WebTier and IIS User Accounts
    ----------------------------------------

    Question: I am trying to configure and test the RB WebTier using IIS. When
    I try to test the web tier via my web browser an Internal Server 500 Error
    page is displayed.

    This is generic error page returned by IIS.

    One cause of this error is that the WebTier application does not have
    sufficient user access rights.


    Solution:

    1. Unload the WebTier application.

    Use IIS to access the properties dialog for the rbWebPub virtual directory.
    Press the UnLoad button to unload the ISAPI dll.

    2. Delete rbWebPub subdirectories

    Use Windows Explorer to delete all subdirectories inside the rbWebPub
    directory. If you are using different WebTier CacheDirectory or WebTier
    LogSettings, then delete those directories also.


    3. Configure IIS User Accounts

    There are two user accounts created by IIS: IUSR_MachineName and
    IWAM_MachineName. (MachineName is replaced by the name of your computer).

    a. Use Windows Explorer to access the properties dialog for the rbWebPub
    directory.

    b. Check whether the IUSR_MachineName and IWAM_MachineName accounts appear
    in the list of users. If not then add them.

    c. The IUSR_MachineName account is the Internet Guest Account. This account
    requires Read, Execute, and Write access to rbWebPub.

    d. The IWAM_MachineName account is a user account that IIS uses to run web
    applications such as the web tier. This account requires full control of the
    rbWebPub directory. The web tier must be able to read, write, and create new
    files and sub directories for the CacheDirectory and the Log. Therefore if
    you configure the WebTier to use directories that are not subdirectories of
    rbWebPub, you will need to configure those directories as well.

    e. reboot the machine.
