Myfiles error: Index and count must refer to a location within the string

When we click on My Files, I get the error below. It seems to be setup correctly since I see the share name and free space in the live tile. We're new to this and are also wondering if it could be related to our active directory setup. We don't get the AD browser, which I've learned is quasi-normal, but even ignoring that and clicking save, we still get a red X on the Base Settings.

Server Error in '/HAP' Application.

Can you post the filters section of your hapConfig.xml file. The error is stating something is wrong with it.

Thanks for the quick response. I don't think I've touched anything to do with the filters, but here ya go.

Also note that I do not have any quota servers but still had to manually change the usage mode from "Quota" to "DriveSpace" even though I selected Drive Space in the GUI.

<mscb hideextensions=".lnk,.ini" writechecks="True" LiveAppId="">
<mappings>
<mapping drive="U" name="Staff" enablereadto="All" enablewriteto="All" enablemove="True" usagemode="DriveSpace">\\hoth\staff\%username%</mapping>
</mappings>
<filters>
<filter name="Access Database" expression="*.mdb;*.accdb" enablefor="All" />
<filter name="Excel Documents" expression="*.xls;*.xlsx;*.xlt;*.xltx" enablefor="All" />

Ok, this is most odd. Can you try updating the App_LocalResources folder from the HAP+ Web v8.4 Full release, as it may be missing a localized string

Yeah, the contents of my folder match the 2 files in 8.4. I also tried 8.3 with the same results. The os is en-us, would that make a difference? I wouldn't think so since my xml has en-gb in it.

<hapConfig version="8.4.1114.1700" local="en-GB" firstrun="False">

We'll I'm baffled, it looks like something is playing up generating the drop zone attribute based on the MSCB filters. Does it work on a non admin user?

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm logged into my workstation as a non-administrator, and I've logged into HAP+ as both a domain admin and as a regular user with the same results.

Could it be related to the Active Directory configuration? As I mentioned in my original post, I get a red X on Base settings even after putting in a correct user. Is the AD configuration required for basic use?

Ah, yes AD configuration is required, HAP+ ties into AD

So is the red X expected or is it possible I've got AD misconfigured?

You may have gotten AD misconfiguration. Since it sounds like it cannot get your membership information. But since you're able to log on it may not be the case

If I change the credentials to bogus credentials, I can no longer log in, so it appears that AD is at least partially correct, but I still get the red X with valid creds.

Yeap problem is one I had and fixed. The issue is in the following line :
<filter name="Powerpoint Files" expression="*.ppt;*.pptx;*.pptx;*.ppt;" enablefor="All" />

The filter expression ends in a ; so the code is expecting another extension. If you change the line to :

<filter name="Powerpoint Files" expression="*.ppt;*.pptx;*.pptx;*.ppt" enablefor="All" />

Then everything is fine. Not good that the default filters are faulty but hey it's an easy oversight.
So when creating filters ensure that the expression doesn't end in a semicolon.

Wow, ok that's a bit of a may bad moment, odd that it came out in v8.4 as i added that into the v8.3 release, I'll fix that when I get home, not that it should cause the issue you describe as the system should remove blank/empty extension parts at run time

Sweet. That fixed it for me too. This seems to be particular to IIS 6 since we didn't have the same problem on IIS 7.5.

Just checked into codeplex the fix for this one, having a trailing semi-colon will no longer cause this error. Sorry for any issues this may of caused.

Home Access Plus+ - Source Code

Fixed: Issue where some empty groups were being shown
Fixed: Issue where the default page would not generate due to a filter issue
Added: Logic to rename mscb to my files in the hapConfig xml file
v8.5 trunk
