Web interface won't open

[HtV]

All I know is that when I had trouble like that, I re-installed the web-admin the way i described before, but I guess you have already done that.

Have you tried using 'netstat -an | find "7647"' to verify that there is in fact something listening on the web admin port?

Also you can find the web admin log files under \WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files\gbpvr\somewhere\somwhere\randomchars.log. (Once the web admin is up and running there is a link to download this on the stats page. Try accessing http://localhost:7647/gbpvr/download.ashx/-1,1 directly and see if that works)

Is it possible that you're accessing the internet via a proxy server, and that bypass localhost isn't turned off? If you try access 'localhost' via the proxy, then you'll be trying to access the proxy server's localhost instead of your own.

I just tried the above and I got


Proto_____Local Address------Foreign Add--------State
TCP______0.0.0.0:7647-------0.0.0.0:0----------Listening

I guess that means something is listening - however those numbers look a bit strange - I would have expected the local address to be 127.0.0.1:7647

OK - When I try actually connecting to the Webadmin I get the following from netstat

192.168.114 is the local machine I use to VNC to the HTPC and control it.

Does this make any sense to anybody???

[normanr]

Well the important parts are only the lines with 7647. The 0.0.0.0 just means connections are accepted from anywhere (If it was 127.0.0.1 then connections would only be accepted from localhost.)

Did you find the logs files? Did you try the log download link? Have you checked your proxy server settings? If you try and access http://localhost:7647/blah does it return an error immediately?

[nurowolf]

Yep - tried to find the log files in the NET framework - but they are dated back in February and haven't been updated for a while.

I tried to log into the download.aspx as you suggested - but that did the same thing

I do not get an error immediately when I try to access

localhost:7647\gbpvr\login.aspx (or what ever). The system just goes for ever saying opening page.........

I look at my proxy server settings on my local machine and they are not set. I will look at my router / switch now to see if that has anything set.

Any other ideas?????

[nurowolf]

BUMP

Any other takers for advice - I really cant work out what to do next

[normanr]

nurowolf: can you give me access to your system somehow? maybe just expose the web admin and I can check it from here. PM me any details. Any chance that you have a debugger or anything around? (There's a free debugger in the .Net SDK)

[gb-pvruser]

I have a similar problem on my machine and did not find a solution yet.

But I get a messagebox on my server which says:

Failed to load ressource from ressource file

[nurowolf]

Normanr - I can set you up with a VNC link.

Do you know which port VNC uses?

If so, I can ensure that that port is open in my router and directed to my HTPC.

Will set this up later today an PM you. Just let me know when you plan to do it - so that I can warm my wife that the HTPC may tak on a life of its own.

Cheers
