Home Access Plus+

[chazdavis24]

Dont know if any of you still use this? Looks pretty awsome. Im having a couple of issues when accessing the site for the first time.

A referral was returned from the server.

 

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

 

Exception Details: System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException: A referral was returned from the server.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thank You

[sister_annex]

hmmm..... do you have the latest version of the .net framework installed (v4) also have you checked that the LDAP settings in the web.config file are correct?

 

a directory services error usually(!) points to problems with one of those.

 

HTH

[chazdavis24]

Thank you for the fast reply.

 

I do have the latest .net framework, however i do think there is something wrong with the LDAP. Im not too strong on this subject.

 

LDAP://chs01.crickhowell.internal/{0}OU=Teaching Staff,OU={1},OU=Establishments,DC=crickhowell,DC=internal

 

Do i need the {0} parts? or is this part of the CHS domain?

 

Thank You

[sister_annex]

You will need to edit the LDAP settings to match your domain. The ones in the default web.config file are the domain settings for the developer

 

Ours for example is: "LDAP://mgmtcore.xx.xx.xx.xx/OU=IOST,DC=xx,DC=xx,DC=xx,DC=xx"

 

and usually follows the format "LDAP://Domain Controller FQDN/DN of OU where the specific accounts are located.

 

Note: we are a vanilla network if you are RM i think the {0} will need to stay based on your OU groups.

I'm still having trouble downloading any files using HAP.

 

I'm using v5.3 on IIS7.5 (Win 2008 R2) joined to our main domain.

I've followed the video and checked the permissions on folders etc, but it still doesn't want to work.

 

Safari reports a 303 error whenever I try to download a file. It tries to download but fails.

 

Looking at the IIS logs, it appears to be an error 500. Always fun.

 

2010-09-28 12:12:54 10.18.116.2 GET /extranet/Download/N/OX-NetMon09.pptx - 443 lburgess 10.18.116.68 Mozilla/5.0+(Macintosh;+U;+Intel+Mac+OS+X+10_6_4;+en-us)+AppleWebKit/533.18.1+(KH TML,+like+Gecko)+Version/5.0.2+Safari/533.18.5 500 0 64 59

 

 

I then tried clicking many times on the same file, and amazingly 1 in 4 attempts worked. If you try enough times in quick succession, it will download it but obviously usually fails.

 

Very frustrating! Help!!!

Sorry to ask this, I've been trying to fix this for the last couple of days, I'm getting the following error when I login to the HAP

Sorry if this has been asked before, I've followed the instructions and I've hit a brickwall with this..... anyhelp would be greatly appreciated (we're running Server 2003 fully updated and IIS6)

 

Looks like a fantastic product can't wait to get it working

Hi Nick,

 

Home access plus looks SO good, thank you for all your hard work and time.

 

I feel bad asking for your (or anyones) help but I have hit a brick wall with this.

 

background...

Server 2003 STD SP2 running AD, DNS, DHCP

our ISP is SWGFL

I have 3 sites that are the same spec/setup for the servers and one is a CC3 network

 

I have NO background knowledge of VPN's or IIS services (terrible I know but I am sure this will change with the use of this site).

 

I have followed your instructions (from the PDF on the documentation page of your site) to the letter but nothing is working at all.

 

I have installed IIs and also installed the .net V4 (4.0.30319) and then I ran windows update just to make sure all was up-to-date and restarted.

 

During the instructions I came accross a problem, during steps 21-24 I found the wwwroot folder in 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot' but it looks like it has a website in there already so I created another folder on the server 'F:\wwwroot\Extranet' which I added to the 'Home directory' under the 'local path' section. I have set the permissions as stated but I wasn't sure if I should remove the inherited permissions aswell (there is nothing that would denie access to admins or staff).

 

During steps 27-30 I had a problem as I did not have a site called 'Extranet', only 3 sites ('Default website', 'Administration' and 'Microsoft sharepoint administration' so I created a site called 'extranet'.

 

At step 31 I selected 'extranet' and the 'starting point' section under the 'Application name' now reads . On the ASP.net tab I have the following details...

 

ASP.net version: 4.0.30319

Virtual path: Extranet

file location: f:\wwwroot\extranet\web.config

 

all the other sections went fine but nothing sems to be doing anything when I type in my address (http://%domianname%/extranet), I am swapping the %domainname% with only my domain name and not the server plus domain name i.e. HAL.myshool.devon.sch.uk. So the address I am typing is...

http://myschool.devon.sch.uk/extranet

I get a page back saying...'The URL could not be retieved' 'the domain name does not exist'

 

I have trolled all the threads in this post and can't find any answers.

 

So sorry to send such NOOB questions your way but I hope you can help. Please let me know if I have left any important details out that you need to know I have done.

 

I hope someone can help me as the teachers at all the sites will be SOOOOO happy to have this access at home

 

P.s I have not done this on the CC3 network yet as they might be upgrading soon.

SHouldnt it be in c:\wwwroot\inetpub?

Anyone have any ideas?

[sister_annex]

Looks like a problem with you LDAP settings, I would first check that your domain entry, Username (in DOMAIN\Username format) and password are correct. could you post up the contents of your web.config file (obviously removing any passwords etc)?

 

I posted here about someone who was having similar issues http://www.edugeek.net/forums/web-development/59485-home-access-plus-10.html#post566945

 

Let me know if you need more help

Thank you, I think I've entered everything correctly....

 

Here is the web.config file (our FQDN is nsnet.net , we logon onto school and as a domain name. Domain controllers khs-alpha & khs-app) I've removed the II7 bit at the end as the post was too long

We've just installed HAP on our web server, but can't seem to get it working.

 

We've followed the HAPConfig.exe wizard through but when we visit the website it just keeps asking for a password.

 

HTTP Error 401.1 - Unauthorized

You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

 

I've checked that basic authentication is set on the server and the Default domain is set correctly.

 

Any ideas?

If two people try to open the same file, you get an asp error?

[mrbios]

Trying to get this running, im using IIS 7.5 on Server 2008R2

 

I've gone through the setup, .net 4 is installed and i have an app pool for the site using .net 4.0, set to basic authentication, whenever i try to access it i get a logon box appear but nothing works, obviously set my security settings wrong somewhere but i can't see what?

 

Please help

 

EDIT new problem: <%=Request.ApplicationPath %> doesn't work as far as i can see, the links just go to http://images/xxx.png etc

EDIT:

 

Forget all the other problems, there sorted now, my new problems:

 

We've had to do this http://www.asp.net/learn/whitepapers/aspnet4/breaking-changes#0.1__Toc256770149 in order to get the extranet working as an application of our main website, now it's running i can view the pages again with it running as an app, but now if i go to the silver light version i get:

and if i go to the basic version and click on something it goes to: http://webapps02/extranet/MyComputer/T with a "404 file or directory not found" (just running internally at the moment)

 

What do i need to do now in order to get these two things to work?

 

EDIT: NO LONGER AN ISSUE got it working

[JAB1a]

Ok after alot of hair pulling (my own that is) I have managed to get it working.

 

Next problem is how do I get teachers from home to access it, we are behind SWGFL. I have setup 'Routing and Remote access' with VPN and NAT but I dont get how the server knows what its external IP address is etc.

 

Any help would be very much appriciated

[dezt]

Right, firstly i'd like to say how good this thing is, thanks for building something that should solve a lot of problems for me.

 

Now for my issues. I've managed to create a working version on this on a VM running server 2008, iis7, on my laptop, everything works when i test it internally. I have managed to find a physical server and tried mirroring the install that works on the VM on it, and I get a http 500 error.

 

I even went so far as to copy my Extranet directory from the VM to the physical server, and export my iis settings and import them on the physical server, but I still get a http 500 error. I thought it may have been something silly, so I formatted the server and started from scratch, all that was installed was .net framework 4.0 and silverlight. I then added the role of iis like I did on the VM and went from there. I have no idea why it's not working.

 

Can someone please help. I'm running a vanilla network, not RM, but had it configured perfectly on the VM running on my laptop, but for some reason it doesn't want to play now its being moved to physical hardware.

[mrbios]

Im trying to enable external access to our RDweb on the terminal server, I've setup an ISA rule so that https://www.website.com/RDWeb should access it but firefox tells me "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."

 

What have i done wrong there, how do i solve that? It works ok internally

A 500 error is a generic one. Your computer event logs should give more information on the problem.

 

The first things i would check are:

- Permissions on the Extranet (or whatever you have decided to call it) folder

- That ASP.Net 4 is allowed and configured to be used on the site (not ASP.net 1 or 2)

- That your web.config is setup correctly

 

sorry for the vagueness of the answer but, it is early and my brain has yet to begin functioning at the usual level

 

HTH anyway
