Hello all. I've been using GBPVR for a year or so now. It is simply amazing. I recently decided I wanted to start using the enhanced web admin. Since enabling it the GBPVR tray icon has been locking up which makes the tray icon unusable and the EWA service unusable, but the recording service keeps on working.

I thought I might take the burden away from GBPVR by running an apache server since I use one for website testing anyway. I am trying to follow the guide in the wiki here, but I'm having a little problem getting it to work. The link pointing to the extra module is no longer correct, but I've figured (stumbled) my way through much of the instructions.

My currennt sticking point is the instruction to use:
Code:
<Directory “C:web/gbweb/bin”>

I'm scratching my head on this line because it isn't correctly formatted to point to a directory on the harddrive, and I can't figure out what directory it should be pointing to since there isn't a gbweb directory.

Anyone with a little experience using an apache server to do this and can hint me a little in the right direction?

I'm running WAMP on a Windows 2000 pro box with an AMD 800mghz processor with 640 ram. (Yes it is an old box, but runs GBPVR without much problem. I hope to be updating it soon.)

Thanks for any help in advance!

Yep....that is old......pre .net 2.0 the ewa site was a compiled site meaning that there was w gbpvr.dll file in the bin that was a compiled version of the site.....when we went to .net 2.0 the site is compiled by .net and runs out of temporary files.....

I never used the Apache stuff so I have no idea how to make it work.

I am more concerned about your report that EWA is causing the issues listed above.....I haven't seen this before.....how are you atributing the issue to EWA......If I know that and it is an EWA problem perhaps it can be fixed.

I didn't mean to put the blame on ewa. It was more likely something to do with the gbpvr server (and perhaps my old computer doesn't help). I had been using the new version 1.0.16 for a month or so when I installed ewa. Ewa worked flawlessly, but the gbpvr tray icon started freezing up shortly after I turned the gbpvr web server on in the config. Since I turned the server off, the tray icon has stopped freezing up. So I assumed the cause was the gbpvr server. I never tried the server before installing ewa.

If you change EWA versions (i.e. upgrade to a version in this sub-forum) you need to follow the defined processs for the upgrade. The first thing you need to do is top the gbpvrrecording service.....if you don't do that and change any of the files (i.e. upgrade) it will hang the web server and even crash the recording service......this "feature" Wink appeared when we went to .Net 2.0.

I followed the process in the wiki for version 65 of ewa:

* Download a copy from a link above
* Stop the Recording Service
* Delete all contents and directories in the gbpvr\web folder (except for the bin directory…removing this will cause GBPVR to reinstall the default Web Admin)
* Delete only the AjaxPro2.dll and the Rss.dll, Rss.pdb and Rss.Net.dll files from the gbpvr\web\bin directory
* If a gbweb.dll file exists in the gbpvr\web\bin directory it should be deleted
* Extract the zip into your gbpvr folder using the option to use directory names. This will load all the files into your gbpvr\web directory and subdirectories.
* Restart the Recording Service
* Hit Refresh in your Web Browser (important to reload cached files that might have changed)

As I said, ewa worked flawlessly. The gbpvr program running in the windows tray kept freezing up and the gbpvr server froze up at or around the same time, but the recordings continue to work just fine. Perhaps the problem has something to do with my setup. I'm not blaming ewa.

At any rate, I decided to take the server burden off of gbpvr and transfer that to apache. I was just looking for a little guidance in how to do this since the instructions on the wiki appear to be incorrect.

At no time did I upgrade or change the files on the drive while the gbpvr recording service was running. The enhanced web page displayed fine, but sometime after my first trip or two to look at the web page the tray icon would become unusable and the gbpvr server would stop working.

Ok....just thought I would check all the things that I know of.....that said I know if my recording service crashes I have a problem with the tray tool as well.....I end up having to do an end process tree to close it off so that I can get the recording service running again......personally I think that the tray utility has some sort of issue....not sure what.....I know this started appearing after the move to .Net 2.0.

Tnorm, I think I had a similar problem. he recoding service was crashing when using the EWA. I started using Apache insteas of the built in cassini webserver. I changed to IIS after the upgrade to dot.net 2.0. This works great for me. (dont forget to call yr subdir in IIS gbweb and not GBPVR as UncleJohn tought me a few days ago)

Koenie-

Thanks for the info. I use apache for a web production on the same computer GB-PVR runs. I'm not sure that I could use IIS because they would probably clash with each other. Just a guess though as I know very little about both apache and IIS.

Tnorm,

I run both apache and IIS on my server. Actually I use a rewriterule in the apache config to forward GBPVR things to IIS and have the IIS server running on an alternative port.

Koenie-

I'll have to look into doing it. I thought they would stomp all over each other. Thanks for the info!
