Hi, this is the file. Any suggestions? I'm a noob when it comes to this! You are a living legend, Nick!

 

What OS are you running, still 2008 R2? If I can try and mimic what your running it may work! (hopeful!)

Still 2012 r2. Erm, I'm sure there is a setting in hapconfig.xml to turn the checker off.

OK, you can try turning off the update checker. I forget how to do that however. I think it maybe going into updatechecker.ascx and removing something. Or I may of entered a configuration line for it

 

When I've downloaded HAP, I'm using the CodePlex site. Is that correct using Version 10.0 FINAL?

 

I've tried to re-install again, created some bookings but still no bookings.xml exists?

 

I'm so confused at this point!

 

Sorry to quiz you at 1:30AM Nick!

Follow the link to github from codeplex and download the update file.

https://github.com/techienickb/hap/files/1036104/HAP.Web.Core.v10.Full.zip

 

This the right one? If so, downloading now.

 

EDIT: Also grabbed the update file. Configuring a new VM with Server 2012 R2, IIS and ASP.NET 4.6.

No there's an update file, 10.4 I think

Sorry, I posted an Edit whilst you were replying!

 

EDIT: Also grabbed the update file. It's 10.5. Configuring a new VM with Server 2012 R2, IIS and ASP.NET 4.6.

 

With regards to the install, as there's no previous config can I configure the folder structure and setup as per your video here:

 

and then overwrite (straight copy/paste) of the update files?

 

Thanks.

Yep, just copy the files over hap will upgrade the configuration after that. If it still redirects then edit the config file and disable the update checker. There should be a thread here for support with that,

I'll scout around. Fingers crossed for the re-install! Am I right with only needing ASP.NET 4.6 and removing the "IIS8" within the Web.Config for it to (in theory) work?

 

Also, is there a donation page for HAP? The support alone (and the hours you work !) is worth a donation!

Yes that should be all.

 

You can donate via PayPal, my email is Nick at nbdev.co.uk.

 

I wish I had more time to recode hap.

Haha! HAP's fine as it is (when it works!) - honestly it's great and the fact it's free is unbelievable.

 

Once I've got this up and running, I'll shoot you some money to buy a coffee!

 

Thanks.

Install went alright. However EVERY Admin user I use gets constant refreshes whenever they login. Can no longer access the HAP interface through Chrome.

 

However, through IE, I just get a "Not found" error whenever logging in. This allows me to access the management interface.

 

Any last thoughts, or will a "have to do" work for now!?

 

Thanks.

Hi Nick, I've got HAP setup and working again. I copied my old "HAP" folder, and created a new application pool to something different so the two wouldn't get confused. I've got my old configuration working successfully.

 

For some reason, any active directory user can now login to HAP. I can't remember this being the case in the previous setup. Is this meant to be limited by the "Student's Group" within HAP setup? I've changed it to another group with no users apart of such and it still lets new users login who are members of no groups apart from Domain Users.

 

It's on the home stretch now, I think!

 

Thanks.

Edit web.config, you can lock it down in there.

[Whistler]

Edit web.config, you can lock it down in there.

 

Within WWWRoot>HAP>Web.config or WWWRoot>HAP>Scripts>web.config?

 

If it's the latter where it says "Allow Users *" do I have to put a full LDAP path in, or can I write it out normally?

[nickbro]

Former.

[Whistler]

Former.

@nickbro

Should this suffice?

 

In testing, when logging in as "temp4" a test account (that's not part of the security group) it just gets a load of redirects and I have to clear cookies before it'll allow me back on (great a a security measure, I guess?!) What purpose does the "Students Group" have in HAP then, I originally thought it was for locking down the login permissions, however seemingly I was wrong!

 

HAPUsers has "Staff" and "Students" as members, as I understand that, by logic by not allowing both will break HAP?

 

Do I have to replicate the code above anywhere else, or is this fine being just in the main web.config?

 

Thanks.
