Server Error in '/gbpvr' Application

[caribbeanchild]

Hi,

Had a major cleanup and re-install of Windows XP with SP3.

Have installed GBPVR 10307 from scratch. Now no matter what I do I can't get the EWA to work. Can't access from local machine or across the LAN.

I've been trying for two days and have had it. Have read everything I can but I still must be missing something.

Have done a manual install of EWA latest vesrion to see if that solved it and it doesn't. I don't have and never had GBweb.dll in my GBPVR/bin folder...so that's not the problem.

I keep getting this error page....using Firefox 3.0.4

Any help would be appreciated!

maybe an addressing error with your browser? You'll get this error if you enter http://servername:7647 instead of http://servername:7647/gbpvr (or http://servername:7647/gbpvr/login.aspx or http:///guide.aspx)

Thanks for the reply but it's not the addressing in the browser.

I cannot access it from two other machines that have existing shortcuts to the EWA. These shortcuts have not changed. I'm using the IP of the machine in the shortcuts. The IP is static.

Accessing the machine with file sharing using another copy of GBPVR on another machine works fine. Everything works but the EWA!!!

I can access GBPVR at home using the EWA from my office.....but don't get past the login screen. After the login screen I get the same error as above.

Cannot figure this out!

From the errors posted it would appear that your EWA install structure may not be correct.

Download Build 78 (this is what is shipping with current version of GBPVR).

• 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 taglib-sharp.dll, System.Web.Extensions.Design.dll, System.Web.Extensions.dll, eWorld.UI.dll, 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)

Thanks so much for that. It worked fine.

I don't know what I did wrong the first hundred times but that worked a treat.

Happiness!
