EWA suddenly stopped working

[goelectric]

Hi,

I have had EWA working great for over a year now. Yesterday it suddenly stopped working and gives the error below. I have updated to the latest GBPVVR release 99.12 and the vv63 release of EWA but it still fails. Any ideas what I need to do to fix this anyone?

If I try to access using the built in web server (e.g localhost:7647) I get:-

Server Error in '/gbpvr' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HTTP Error 404 - Not Found.


Adding /gbpvr to the url (localhost:7647/gbpvr ) gets me to the next error:-

Server Error in '/gbpvr' Application.

has your router been reset?

I am trying on localhost(e.g the machine GBPVR is running on)

[goelectric]

I have made the problem go away. I renamed my devnz/gbpvr directory to devnz/oldgbpvr. (so I can later retrieve config.xml , gbpvr.mdb and ChannelLogos). Uninstalled gbpvr 99.12. Re-installed 99.12 , ran config.exe and all settings were blank. Copied config.xml, ChannelLogos and gbpvr.mdb across, re-ran config.exe and voila all my settings are restored and the Enhanced Web Interface now works again without an error

Oh , one last thing, I also had to re-enable channel logos in the Web admin via its settings page.

Good to here.....if you are using EWA that was installed with the GBPVR install then you are using build 57.

If you want the latest features you will need to upgrade to build 63 which was released a couple of days ago.
