HTTP 404 and WebTier

rbuser

Hello again,
I'm getting the following error (in all 3 frames) in my viewer after
directly accessing the webtier via a URL:
HTTP 404 - File not found

I looked in my cache directory and the report has been generated but for
some reason IE cannot display it. I am running a modified version of
rbWebDebug Custom Parameters. I'm so close it hurts.

Thank you,

Tracy McClarnon

Try tu pout this code on your create webmodule Event, and see my
if not IsLibrary then
begin
rswebtier1.HTTPPrefix :='';
rswebtier1.webcachepath:='c:/rbWebPub/Cache/';
end;

In your web browser perform a View | Source to view the html for the frame
page. Check the URL for the TreeView.htm and ListView.htm pages. This must
be the exact URL to access the web cache pages and IIS must have read
access.

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.

This worked great for the report.htm itself, but the nav.htm still seems to
be using the WebCachePath and WebModuleURI of the webtier component. This of
course is fine, as I can still debug the webtier locally.

Thank you!
