I concur! P.S. This forum really needs a Cheers icon!

Thanks Nick - no worries I will have a look at .net again on the server!

Hi Nick I have updated to the 7.6 version this morning and once again we have a broken file download. It is a different exception to the last time - maybe because the dll you gave me last time fixed that? Anyway, below is the exception.

I thought I'd jump in on this thread too with a little question, I have been after a VPS for awhile in place of hosting - after managing my own dedicated servers for years, I can't deal with restricted hosting! I am not after much, a basic entry level one would be fine - would prefer a Server 2008 one though with RDP access. Does anyone have any recommendations for such a company that could provide me this, for perhaps around the £100-120 a year mark? Edit: I have just had a look at velxoserv, they look reasonable.

Cheers - knew I should have Googled it!

Hi Nick I was playing with this last night, and when uploading many bigish files I received a Maximum Request Length Exceeded message. I thought, OK cool I have seen this before as I know IIS limits POST or file uploads to about 30MB. So I added the following as I have before to the web.config file to increase this limit. It doesn't seem to make any difference though, as I still get the same error on large file uploads. Is this limit something that is hard coded into HAP+ or needs changing some place else, or should this have worked in Request Filtering? Adam

You also need to have SSL setup on the HAP site for the extended version to work.

Perfecto - like I said before, I can't begin to explain how much we appreciate it!

Hi Nick, Correct, we don't use the Home Directories setting (though I am not sure why!). More good news, the basic HTML uploader now works. The Silverlight one is still a bit icky, but I guess I won't worry about that as it is being deprecated soon? We really appreciate all your help. Adam

Hi Nick, Thanks for this - some good news, with this DLL we can now download files - from both the old MSCB and the preview one in 7.5. However using basic view in the old MSCB, we cannot upload files by either using the HTML uploader or the Silverlight uploader. We get the error below. When we use the Extended version, uploads are fine. Edit: Actually, seems they are not when you try to upload multiple files - it certainly worked with a single jpg.

Hi Nick I have installed 7.5 and had a look at your new preview of my files. Again in a similar way to above, we can see all drives and files but get the exact same error when we try to access a file. Adam

Hi Nick Yes - they are. \\dc1\studentareas\%username%\My Documents \\dc1\staffareas\%username%\My Documents \\dc1\sharedarea

Hi Nick The URL's are like this: https://domain.com/HAP/Download/W/CD_edited.jpg So the drive letters are in uppercase if you are meaning the ones in the URL? If we are unable to get it to work, I will eagerly await the replacement MSCB in the future build in hope that it might solve my problems! Adam

Also, when trying to use the simple html uploader we are getting this error - I see that it points to different lines? Server Error in '/HAP' Application.

Hi Nick I have installed your latest version this morning and I STILL get the same error. I am assuming you have absolutely no idea what is causing this, on two different member servers, in all browsers? I am pulling my hair out with this. Adam

Nick, I have installed an older build (7.1) this morning and I still get this error - again in all browsers. If you say this error is pointing to a blank line in the source I guess it's a little confusing. Do you suppose a newer build might fix it?

It is your FQDN, so schoolname.internal It didn't work for me either until I rebooted the server, but I think that may have been down to some Windows Updates that had been recently installed.

Hi Nick Thanks for your response, I really appreciate you taking the time to try help me out! I have tried it in Firefox, Chrome and IE9 - they all do the same. Thanks

I have installed HAP on a second member server this afternoon - also running Server 2008, and we still suffer the above problem. Please.. does anyone have any ideas? It is so close to being usable for us but we just can't get that little but important bit of functionality to work. It would be great if Nick or anyone who has worked on developing HAP could perhaps confirm that this is an application code/syntax error and not a server configuration error or vice versa. I would really like to get HAP working, it looks great! Thanks Adam

Good luck!

According to Chrome there is a cookie called "mycompv" which has the value "html" for me - I am guessing that would be for the basic/silverlight browser.

Again that doesn't sound right, I did a new install of the current build a couple of days ago and it asked me which I wanted to use. It has only asked once, though. I would have thought that preference was stored within a cookie.

Yes - I meant the website address in the config file. I just wondered if that was in there wrong / typo'ed or something like that it might be causing issues. I guess other things would probably not be working though if it were wrong! Adam

That address doesn't look right. When I hover over ours we get https://hap.domain.com/hap/MyComputer/S. Is your site address defined properly in the config file? Would be my first guess, if not you may need Nick's help!

You need SSL for it to work apparently. If you have a SSL certificate install that on IIS or generate a self signed cert, add a https binding and you're good to go!
