Web interface broken after windows .net 1.1 update

[sub]

Windows Update re-enabled the Windows Firewall, which was the root cause of this problem. You'll need to go and disable it again, or setup permissions for GB-PVR.

Additionally, if you upgrade to v0.90.10, you'll need delete everything from the c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr\web\bin\ directory excep gbweb.dll and gbweb.pdb, then restart the recording service.

this is the error that is getting thrown:
[HttpException]
at System.Web.HttpApplication.CheckSuspiciousPhysicalPath(String physicalPath)
at System.Web.Configuration.HttpConfigurationSystem.ComposeConfig(String reqPath, IHttpMapPath configmap)
at System.Web.HttpContext.GetCompleteConfigRecord(String reqpath, IHttpMapPath configmap)
at System.Web.HttpContext.GetCompleteConfig()
at System.Web.HttpContext.GetConfig(String name)
at System.Web.CustomErrors.GetSettings(HttpContext context, Boolean canThrow)
at System.Web.HttpResponse.ReportRuntimeError(Exception e, Boolean canThrow)
at System.Web.HttpRuntime.FinishRequest(HttpWorkerRequest wr, HttpContext context, Exception e)

Looking at the code:
if (((physicalPath != null) && (physicalPath.Length > 0)) && (Path.GetFullPath(physicalPath) != physicalPath))
{
throw new HttpException(0x194, ""
}

maybe it would help if you start cassini with Path.GetFullPath(root + "\web&quot as the physicalPath instead of just root + "\web"?

[normanr]

the previous will help, but the easiest fix is to change "\web" to "web" because the root string already has a "\" at the end. so you end up with "\devnz\gbpvr\\web" which FullPath converts to "\devnz\gbpvr\web". Which makes the exception be thrown.

Technically speaking: Path.Combine should be used instead of adding a "\" manually :-)

normanr, are you running v0.90.10. I'm fairly this change was made before this latest release went out the door.

[normanr]

never mind me, I installed v0.90.10 and it all works again :-)
