HAP 8.7 on Server 2012 IIS8 - 500.19 Internal Server Error

[ronnoco]

Hello,

 

Use to have an old version of HAP running which was great - trying to set this up on Server 2012 which runs IIS8.

 

Followed 2 different videos, hoping I'm pretty much there and just have some teething issues and wondered if anyone could help.

 

We are getting the error as shown in the screenshot.

 

I have deleted the following from the web.config file :

 

 

 

I have tried removing the next couple of lines that come up as errors but this didn't help so I restored the web.config file and currently have it with just these lines above removed.

 

One thing I wasn't sure about was on both the videos, it never showed the folder being created under the default website within IIS (unless I have missed a step) It showed creating the application pool first.

 

Should it automatically be there after creating the HAP folder with IIS www root or do you create a new website?

 

Attached is also a screenshot of my IIS set-up - I'm not 100% sure this is correct as originally I added a new vd which I then deleted and converted what yellow folder remained to an application.

 

Thanks very much in advance for help offered.

There's a few lines in the web.config file to remove, using IE will tell you which lines to remove. You also need to go to /style/basestyle.css and repeat.

Found this line. So I removed it as suggested and we are now getting a error

 

also cant see what we need to remove in basestyle.css

Ive removed the old installation, reinstalled, edited web.config and I still cant get it to install

 

Just wont start Setup.aspx

 

This is my staticContent section

 

 

trying to run with this gives

 

 

removing the handlers entry gives

 

 

We are trying to install under Windows Server 2012 64bit (IIS 8)

If you click the more info link at the bottom it should take to Microsoft's website to show you what to change to fix it, these errors aren't HAP+ specific but .net and iis related

[JJonas]

Ok getting there

 

Followed a guide had to edit applicationHost and do %windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe unlock config -section:system.webServer/handlers to get rid of the handlers error

 

now getting

 

Module IIS Web Core

Notification BeginRequest

Handler Not yet determined

 

Error Code 0x80070021

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe unlock config -section:system.webServer/modules

 

took care of that error

[JJonas]

I was getting another error (500.21 I think) reinstalling .Net 4.5 fixed it

[JJonas]

When I left yesterday it was working and we were ready to finish setting up the server.

 

I come in this morning and when I try to log in I get Server Error in '/Hap' Application. (see screenshot)

A search of this forums:

What are you running the HAP+ Application pool as? IIS AppPool\HAP?

 

You may need to:

 

To give IIS AppPool\HAP User read permission on the EventLog/Security key follow instructions from 'System.Security.SecurityException: Requested registry access is not allowed.' when writing to event log

Select Start - Run, then enter: regedt32
Navigate/expand to the following key:   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Security
Right click on this entry and select Permissions
Add the IIS AppPool\HAP User
Give it Read permission

[JJonas]

That fixed it, thanks for that

right we appear to be up and running and we have logged in with a few student dummy accounts

 

however we are experiencing a few glitches

 

In setup we dont have anything entered under active directory\student group. When we click on it it brings up the active directory browser but we cant select anything. When we close the field remains empty.

 

In my files making changes to an already mapped drive brings up A WCF error occurred

 

We can get round this by manually editing hapconfig.xml but we probably shouldn’t have to.

 

also is there any documentation for configuring the Hap setup?

[nickbro]

Use the keyboard to get into the text box and type it in manually.

 

I'll look into the wcf error, it's an odd one.

[JJonas]

Should I have anything in the student group because at the moment its blank and it appears to be working? I can access the files for the user im logged on as and I get different mapped drives for different users.

 

What does Hap use that group for?

[nickbro]

It's used for the logon tracker, user card and other bits and pieces throughout HAP+, not used in the My Files section though
