Demo - Custom Parameters

rbuser

Hello,

I am trying to run the custom parameters demo, I compiled the server part
and it is running, I then compiled and ran the rbwebtier part. I then start
the Web app debugger and the login page comes up. I enter the name and
password, color and click submit and it logins fine but the next page is
"The page cannot be found". Any ideas what my problem might be.

Thanks,
Bruce

Try tracing the ProcessLoginRequest method. This should result in the login
parameters being validated and the WebTier.ProcessRequest method being
called. This should display the web report explorer. Check the WebTier
properties for CacheDirectory, WebCachePath and WebModuleURI

I still can not get it to work...

I open up the webdebugger and click start and then click on the default url
http://localhost:8081/ServerInfo.ServerInfo
I then select rbWebDebug.CoRBWebDebug from the list and click go and the
following login page comes up (
http://localhost:8081/rbWebDebug.CoRBWebDebug)

Now, I traced the ProcessLoginRequest and if I put
in the wrong password then Result := 'Access denied.', if I
enter the
correct password it goes to result :=
rsWebTier1.ProcessWebRequest(aWebRequest).

The page url then goes http://localhost:8081/rbWebDebug.CoRBWebDebug/Login
but the page has a splitter with both panels saying The page cannot be
displayed

The CacheDirectory (C:\rbWebPub\Cache) exists, which is the default.
The WebCachePath and WebModuleURI are set as follows (which are also the
defaults)
http://localhost/rbWebPub/Cache/
http://localhost:8081/rbWebDebug.CoRBWebDebug

I tried the thin client demo to custom parameters and it works fine with the
custom parameters Demo server.

Any more suggestions?

thanks,
Bruce

Thanks for the addition information. The page that is displaying the
splitter is the report explorer frameset. This indicates that the WebTier is
returning the proper page. The frameset page contains references to the
pages that should display in the left and right panes: TreeView.htm and
ListView.htm.

Run your webtier application and when the report explorer frameset page is
dispalyed perform a view source. You should see something similar to this:

document.write("");
document.write("");
document.write("");
document.write("");


The WebTier sends the frameset to your browser. However, because the
frameset contains links to the ListView and TreeView pages, they are loaded
by IIS. Make sure that the URL's to the ListView and TreeView are being
generated properly. Then configure IIS so that it can read the web cache.
The error you are receiving indicates that IIS cannot load the pages.

Here is a Tech Tips for configuring the IIS User Accounts:

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.
