EWA Web Admin does not work

[narkuma]

Args!
I tried to run the EWA. I did the installation like it was described in the wiki. but: nothing happened. I have no firewall.

Any ideas how I could approach this problem?

:eek:

[narkuma]

sorry, I did not notice that there is a dedicated forum. Could someone move
this thread there?

[UncleJohnsBand]

Do you have it turned on in the GBPVR Config?

[narkuma]

sure!

[HtV]

You use it through a router? If so in the router you have to forward the appropriate port (7647?) to your gbpvr server.

[narkuma]

to make it as simple as possible for me, I have configured port 80. (but I tried others as well). Networking is no problem to me, it is my job.
I tried it in my LAN and I tried it locally on the gbpvr-machine (real IP and localhost)
It seems to me that the webserver is not running. What is its name in the processlist?

[UncleJohnsBand]

GBPVRecodingService.

So on the localhost when you do http://localhost:80/gbpvr/guide.aspx you get nothing?

After you do the above open a command window on the host and type in netstat at the command prompt. Do you see port 80 listining?

Have you tried a different port?

Maybe it's time to post your logs. To see if the server is started.

Try a .Net2 repair. If that does not help. Uninstall .net2 and gbpvr (back up). Then install .net2 and gbpvr again. If you leave the gbpvr-dir and config.xml and gbpvr.dbr in place you won't loose your settings and recordings.

[narkuma]

outch!!! I hope so...
there is much work in this installation.

Thanx!!

[HtV]

I always do a reboot after installing things like .Net2. Alyhough XP almost never asks for it anymore, I noticed that sometimes it helps.

[UncleJohnsBand]

I asked sub to take a look at the log from page 1.....I don't work on the webserver piece itself....

In the meantime try chaning the service to run under a local user account rather than the local system account. The user will need to have Admin rights.

[sub]

11.11.2006 08:17:03.406 VERBOSE [4] Found recording source plugin: DboxRecorder in: C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\plugins\DboxRecorder.dllI can only guess that its some dependency introduced by the use of this plugin, require some additional DLLs to be copied into the 'web\bin' directory. I dont know what those DLLs would be though.

[narkuma]

I did:

-Reinstall of .NT2.0
-Deinstall/install of GBPVR
-Removed DBOX Recordin Service (What a pity. it is great!)
-Removed dbox DLL
-Restarted everything (Computer, Services...)
-Killed my wife

It did not help.

Any more ideas?

[sub]

No, not really.

What files do you have in c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr\web\bin?

[narkuma]

I forgot to say I have also run the service as a user with admin rights.

[UncleJohnsBand]

Ok...didn't see this asked anywhere....are you running a local firewall like the Windows firewall? If so have you given permission for the gbpvrecordingservice.exe to be able to access ports and did you open the port that you want to host EWA on?

[HtV]

Ok...didn't see this asked anywhere....are you running a local firewall like the Windows firewall? If so have you given permission for the gbpvrecordingservice.exe to be able to access ports and did you open the port that you want to host EWA on?

I thought it can't be that simple. So I did some re-reading: in the 1st post he mentions that he doesn't run a firewall. However I would check on that, I suspect windows-update to switch on the firewall sometimes.

[HtV]

Ok one more: could it be some anti-virus/spyware appl. that prevents the server from starting?

[narkuma]

Hm,

I am using "antivir" for virus-malware-protection.
I will try to disable it this evening...

[HtV]

You could be "lucky" there. I think I remeber from a previous thread (ShiningDragon having problems with EWA) that some versions of Antvir do this. Good luck.

[narkuma]

no luck!

still does not work.

Help!!!

[HtV]

Maybe post your logs again, to see what errors you have now.

[narkuma]

I hope You can find something...

[narkuma]

sub, did You check, if the files in my bin-directory are okay?

[HtV]

You have the same error in your logs as before.:o

HtV Could You please compare size and date of the files in Your web\bin directory with the one I posted here?

:) I asked that, but I don't think I got an answer:)

They are exactly the same to mine.

[narkuma]

It was mentioned just in the beginning of this thread: No firewall.

But I did something new:
I removed the whole WEB directory, expanded the GBPVR-MSI-File and copied the web directory to the correct folder of my harddisk.

Now the EWA is working.
I will try to update to the most recent version of EWA soon.

thanx for help so far.

[HtV]

Hurraaaaaayyyyy, cheers.:D

[UncleJohnsBand]

Just curious....what did you mean by this? It sounds as though the web directory was not originally located in gbpvr\web......

[narkuma]

This may be the result of my bad english.

The location of the folder was okay. I just wanted to say that I replaced all its content with the original files.

[UncleJohnsBand]

Ok...then I am assuming that everything is now working....correct?
