The page cannot be found

rbuser

Hello

I have compiled rbServer.dpr in "Reports in Delphi forms" tutorial, and the
project myWebTier in order to get to reports via web.

I have configured the IIS. I cannot say it is OK, because I have the
following error:

"The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed,
or is temporarily unavailable.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please try the following:

If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is
spelled correctly.

Open the 127.0.0.1 home page, and then look for links to the information you
want.
Click the Back button to try another link.
Click Search to look for information on the Internet.



HTTP 404 - File not found
Internet Explorer"

I know I'm getting to the webserver so, what can be wrong?.

I'm lost!.

Thank you

F?lix

Most common causes would be incorrectly configured WebTier or IIS.

1. Check out the following article for configuring IIS user accounts.

2. Check your TrsWebTier settings for CacheDirectory, WebCachePath and
WebModuleURI. (See the \RBServer\Tutorials\Complete directory for the
completed tutorials).

RB WebTier and IIS User Accounts
----------------------------------------

Question: I am trying to configure and test the RB WebTier using IIS. When
I try to test the web tier via my web browser an Internal Server 500 Error
page is displayed.

This is generic error page returned by IIS.

One cause of this error is that the WebTier application does not have
sufficient user access rights.


Solution:

1. Unload the WebTier application.

Use IIS to access the properties dialog for the rbWebPub virtual directory.
Press the UnLoad button to unload the ISAPI dll.

2. Delete rbWebPub subdirectories

Use Windows Explorer to delete all subdirectories inside the rbWebPub
directory. If you are using different WebTier CacheDirectory or WebTier
LogSettings, then delete those directories also.


3. Configure IIS User Accounts

There are two user accounts created by IIS: IUSR_MachineName and
IWAM_MachineName. (MachineName is replaced by the name of your computer).

a. Use Windows Explorer to access the properties dialog for the rbWebPub
directory.

b. Check whether the IUSR_MachineName and IWAM_MachineName accounts appear
in the list of users. If not then add them.

c. The IUSR_MachineName account is the Internet Guest Account. This account
requires Read, Execute, and Write access to rbWebPub.

d. The IWAM_MachineName account is a user account that IIS uses to run web
applications such as the web tier. This account requires full control of the
rbWebPub directory. The web tier must be able to read, write, and create new
files and sub directories for the CacheDirectory and the Log. Therefore if
you configure the WebTier to use directories that are not subdirectories of
rbWebPub, you will need to configure those directories as well.

e. reboot the machine.
