New Installation in existing Folder: Not working.

[Dan_ATR]

Hi,

 

We had an older version of HAP installed and have decided to go to the very latest but with a clean install.

 

So, I copied the old HAP folder and called it HAPold and then extracted the new contents into the HAP folder and then gave the entire folder IUSR write access.

 

When I then restarted IIS and went to the URL the site is not dynamic.

 

Does anyone know why this is?

 

I am unable view any images or see any dynamic content etc...

 

Please help. (url on PM request.)

Have you removed the bit from the web.config that says <---remove this for IIS8 ---> Assuming you are using IIS8 that is.

[Dan_ATR]

I am using Server 2008R2 with IIS 7.5

[Dan_ATR]

works now.

 

It was the mimeType exceptions.

[Dan_ATR]

What an earth???

 

A Error has occured:

Error Saving the Configuration

 

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

 

at HAP.Web.Setup.Save_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)

[fairm010]

When you extracted the latest HAP build did you allow read and write access to the App_Data folder?

[Dan_ATR]

All working again.

 

If you use IE11 on the server it comes up with the error.

 

I use Firefox on the work station and its fine.

New issue.... we do all of our file access via DFS and UNC paths and not user folder shares.

 

Is there anyone who has got a configuration which has this layout?

[mobybrick]

Yes, this functionality exists in HAP.

 

Assuming that the home directory attribute is set for each user (to a DFS share in the format \\dfs\sharename\%username%) then you can use the %homedir% successfully:

 

e.g.

%homedir%

 

For the disk quota, use the dfstarget tag to re-map the DFS target back to the source UNC:

 

\\hgss.local\dfs\staffhome$\%username%

 

 

HTH,

String cannot be of zero length. Parameter name: oldValue

 

 

Does not seem to work...

 

 
%homedir%
\\LeAF.bournemouth.sch.uk\LeAFFileStorage\SysAdminWork\%USERNAME%

[nickbro]

make sure %username% is lowercase

[Dan_ATR]

still saying

String cannot be of zero length. Parameter name: oldValue

[Dan_ATR]

anyone know what im doing stupid??

[nickbro]

Try setting the usage mode to none, this will bypass the quota system to tell us if it's the quota part or something else

[Dan_ATR]

Requested value 'none' was not found.

[nickbro]

Ok try Drive instead

[Dan_ATR]

Requested value 'Drive' was not found.

[nickbro]

is it DiskSpace? I can't remember been a while since I made that enum

[Dan_ATR]

Requested value 'DiskSpace' was not found.

 

   
     %homedir%
     \\svr-fs-001\e$\Users\Students\Work\%username%
     \\svr-fs-001\e$\Users\Non-Teaching Staff\Work\%username%
     \\svr-fs-001\e$\Users\Teaching Staff\Work\%username%
     \\SVR-FS-002\Staff Temporary Area
     \\LeAF.bournemouth.sch.uk\Academic
     \\LeAF.bournemouth.sch.uk\Network
     \\LeAF.bournemouth.sch.uk\Business
     \\LeAF.bournemouth.sch.uk\Administration
   
   
     \\LeAF.bournemouth.sch.uk\LeAFFileStorage\SysAdminWork\%username%
   
 

[nickbro]

Goes and looks at the code

    public enum MappingUsageMode { None, Quota, DriveSpace, HAPDriveSpace }

 

So try None for the usuage

 

The system may not like having the same drive letter used

[Dan_ATR]

The given key was not present in the dictionary.

Just something to add... in 2008R2 they use "File Server Resource Manager".
