Trying to link to an ASPX page
Posted: 04 Dec 06 10:10 AM

fiogf49gjkf0d I am trying to have SLX link to an ASPX page when you click the "+" on a certain page. It's not working, don't even know if I have it coded right. Here's the line of code:
TabAdd.push("http://vmsrv2003-c/inetpubss/wwwroot/WebSite1/AddAccountProfile.aspx");
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with it? |

fiogf49gjkf0d It looks OK syntactically, but it looks as if you're putting in the explorer/physical file path to the ASPX page and not the true http/URL path. Do you actually have a virtual directory named "inetpubss" with a subfolder wwwroot and another subfolder WebSite1? I would be surprised to see a virtual directoy named "inetpubss".
The URL should be something similar to http://servername/virtual_directory/any_subfolders/aspx page.
What's the name of the virtual directory you have set up through IIS?

fiogf49gjkf0d Are virtual directories setup automatically, because I don't recall ever setting any up. How do I set one up to get the aspx page working? |

fiogf49gjkf0d No, they aren't set up automatically by IIS. SalesLogix, however, does create a virdir for their .NET components (in 6.2.3+) called "aspscripts". You could put your page in there, but you'll end up using the slx web.config and you'll probably want to create your own. This article gives an overview of creating a virtual directory - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zwk103ab.aspx

fiogf49gjkf0d Well, I created a virtual directory called SlxAspx and here is my new call:
TabAdd.push("http://vmsrv2003-c/SlxAspx/AddAccountProfile.aspx");
When I ran the web client, Here's the error that I received:
Server Error in '/' Application
The resource cannot be found.
Here is the requested url that was listed at the bottom of IE:
/SlxAspx/AddAccountProfile.aspx
Any thoughts? |

fiogf49gjkf0d It could be that you've not made the virtual dir an application. In IIS, in the properties for the virtual dir, look on the "Directory" tab. In the lower section of the screen, where it says "Application name", does it have a "Create" button to the right of it? Is so then click it. Also, open the ASP.NET tab in the properties dialog and ensure the correct version of the .NET framework is selected.
Also, is the webclient running on a different port? Is the virtual dir in the same web server as the SLX webclient (ie under the same tree in the IIS listing) or a different site on a different port? |

fiogf49gjkf0d The virtual dir is an application with the correct version of the .NET Framework. Also, the virtual dir is in the same web server as the SLX webclient. |

fiogf49gjkf0d Do you have the DLL associated with your .NET page/application in the /bin folder beneath your virtual directory?

fiogf49gjkf0d Does this url work independently outside of slx?
http://vmsrv2003-c/SlxAspx/AddAccountProfile.aspx
I havent tried out TabAdd.Push, but i have used something like this in the nav bar and it works.
MenuAdd[1] = "../../slxapp/show_details.aspx";
This will go back 2 steps and get into the "slxapp" vir dir and then load the show_details page.While copying the files, copy the aspx files to the root virtual directory folder and copy the assembly to a bin folder created under that.Refer to your test site for the correct directory structure.
Also i have slxapp created in the same web structure under the slx website.This way browsing is easy , security is derived from the parent root and i can use the same cert for the site.

fiogf49gjkf0d Just went to create the folder that links to he DLL in the /bin and there is not /bin folder or .DLL files in the website. All that's there are my aspx and vb files. I rebuild the website and still nothing. Do I need to do a release instead of a debug? |

fiogf49gjkf0d Have you actually done a build of the project? I created a quick & dirty web app using Visual Studio 2003 and it has a bin folder beneath my 'WebApplication1' folder, with my DLL in it as expected.
If you follow Nandu's suggestion, does it run if you don't call it through SalesLogix, but call it directly instead?

fiogf49gjkf0d Yes, I have done several builds of the project and still no DLL. I called it directly and it didn't run. |

fiogf49gjkf0d If this is ASP.NET 2.0 web app then you won't see a DLL and no Bin dir. This is a major difference between ASP.NET 2.0 and 1.1 and prior web applications.
For a ASP.NET 2.0 project, all you'll need to do is copy all contents to the virtual dir and make it an application.
So, I'd go back to Nandu's question, Does this URL run independently from SLX? http://vmsrv2003-c/SlxAspx/AddAccountProfile.aspx

fiogf49gjkf0d No, it doesn't run independently of SLX. As far as copying the files into the virtual dir, I thought the mapping of the files to the actual dir when I created the virtual dir took care of copying the file to the virtual, was I incorrect in my assumption? |

fiogf49gjkf0d If it doesn't run independently of SLX then forget about trying to get it to launch in SLX until it works on it's own first.
It doesn't matter if you've copied the files to a dir or mapped the virtual dir to the place where the files are located.
So, now that we know it is a problem with the ASP.NET page itself, not a problem with integrating it into SLX, let's focus there. What is the error you get when you run the page from VS? Make sure that debugging is on and take a look at the stack trace and exception details to see exactly what is causing your problem. |

fiogf49gjkf0d Seems as either you are not copying the Web.config or you may have ACL(Permission) issues with the folder and files.
Question, can you execute a Debug from VS and have it run the site (not using the Web Server from VS but configuring it to use IIS)?
Again, the last message is kind of clear stating that the site cannot read the config file. Check to see if the file exists and its permissions. |

fiogf49gjkf0d Sorry for asking you this obvious questions...Does it work on your developement machine??
Is the config file "well formed" even after changing it on the server?To resolve, it copy paste the contents of the file to a notepad, save it as an xml file and try to browse the xml file in the browser. If the xml file is unable to be rendered by the browser and throws error, then you can find the place where the tags are not well formed or invalid characters exist and rectify them.
.Also just as we see the security problem, why dont you log on to the server under the user running the website and then try a put a dummy file to the 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\slxsite directory?
Anyways, can you refer to these following 2 location and do what these 2 articles say..

fiogf49gjkf0d Well, I finally figured out why it wasn't working in SLX. Apparently, at least for me, I had to put the port number in the url. Before, I was doing the following:
TabAdd.push("http://vmsrv2003-c/SlxAspx/AddAccountProfile.aspx");
For it to work, it had to look like this:
TabAdd.push("http://vmsrv2003-c:3333/SlxAspx/AddAccountProfile.aspx");
Does anyone know why the port number had to be specified in the url?
Thank you everyone for helping me to resolve this issue. |

fiogf49gjkf0d hehe..Just as your added your vir dir under the slx website, all url shluld specify the port under which your slx website is working.
You can have some security problems if you run a website under a port other than 80.(if you have a tight shop security policy)
Stop the default site and move the slx website to 80.Change the same in web manager.Check the slx site to make sure it is up and running
Then try to call this aspnet pages without the port.It should work.I learned something today... that if the port is not mentioned correctly aspnet would throw a web.config acl error!! |
