User (Legacy) Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Hi all! Having some dramas getting the trial version of ChartFX, specifically the IIS side of things. I'm running 2003 .net server (beta 2), and the trial version 5.4.10.3 install executable. I have ensured that all options are checked in the install list, including the IIS virtual directories. During the installation, it stops and restarts IIS as it should, but fails to install the virtual directories into any of the web sites I specify. I have tried a number of different things to get it going manually, (like adding the "Web" directory as a virtual directory of a site), but obviously I'm missing a few steps in the process in attempting it this way - like registration of packages / license etc. An example of my problems happens when I open the default.htm file in the Web directory - from windows explorer, it loads the WebBarCtl.htm frame without any dramas, and the embedded component is fine. However, if I browse this file via the IIS hosted virtual directory, the WebBarCtl.htm frame never loads and never gives an error message - it simply does nothing! I presumed that the trial install *should* have loaded all the appropriate IIS settings for me? Is there any security settings I need to check to allow these IIS settings to be installed? Or am I just missing something seriously obvious? :^) Many thanks in advance! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted August 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Ok found an explanation... http://support.softwarefx.com/kb/143/2/058.htm Consequently, I have created a brand new web site in IIS and set it's home directory to c:\Program Files\CFXie\Web. I have followed the instructions for adding the virtual directories manually, and have set the appropriate permissions, but still no luck! I have also tried creating and opening the test html code, as below : <html> <head> <title>Troubleshooting the Server Component</title> </head> <body> <% Set chart = Server.CreateObject("ChartFX.WebServer") %> <%= chart.GetHtmlTag(500,350) %> </body> </html> ... But this produces a blank page with no errors returned and no broken image/links! Any thoughts? Thanks again! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
