404 'page not found' error (no 64-bit server)

web-app

After the automated or manual installation completed my web browser returns to http://localhost/Gemini a 404 'page not found' error.
I am also very interested to know what "frontpage support" means, mentioned in thread 'Server Application Unavailable'.

Can you check IIS to see if a virtual directory was created for Gemini?

It's called 'GeminiVV' and points to the 'Gemini web application' folder.
Is it allright?

You should access like: http://localhost/GeminiVV

This returns 404 'page not found' error. Sorry this is not correct, my VM did not start correctly, so I answered by memory.

When I access the main.aspx file, I get something like 'server error in application /GeminiVV' and 'Error to access the IIS-meta base'.
(Serverfehler in der Anwendung /GeminiVV and Fehler beim Zugriff auf die IIS-Metabasis).

The hint to the microsoft site suggests to use 'Metaacl.exe'. But this did not help.
What should I try next?

Sandra,

Looks like there is a problem with IIS on your VM instance.

Are you accessing Gemini from within your VM instance, or from a machine outside of the VM instance?

Harvey Kandola,

I installed Gemini within WinXP within my VM instance and try to access this inside through web browser by http://localhost/GeminiVV/Main.aspx.

WinXP prof.
IIS 5.1

Do you have any suggestions to get access?

Try re-installing .NET 2.0:

C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis -i

I tried the re-installing for the second time...and this time a new error:

'Server Error in '/GeminiVV' Application'
'Runtime Error'

As suggested I added in the web.config file a tag  <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"> and did change the defaultRedirect from 'error.aspx' to 'mycustompage.htm'. Do I have to prepare this page??

Are you not getting the metabase issue now?

Set the custom erros tag to off (no need to change the page from Error.aspx).

The metabase issue is gone.

It stays
'Server Error in '/GeminiVV' Application'
'Runtime Error'

Did you setup the connection string in the web.config file?

I did it set up by changing the source attribute to my sql-server-name. Is this okay?

In the Gemini web.config ensure you have the following value set to off:

<customErrors mode="Off">

It does look like an environment issue given that the metabase error went away after you re-installed .NET 2.0...

In IIS I could only create a virtual directory as a subdirectory of 'Standardwebsite', though I created 'GeminiVV' that points to the folder 'gemini web application'. I thought that I was wrong with the location though I put the content of the 'gemini web application' folder also in the folder 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot'...which did not end in success.

Now I changed the customErrors mode to 'off' within the virtual directory 'GeminVV', and there is no change in the webbrowser. Do I change the customErrors mode to 'off' within the other web.config, the error changes to 'Server Error in '/GeminiVV' Application' and 'Configuration Error'.

I tried 'http://localhost/standardwebsite/main.aspx' that
returned: 'Server Error in '/' Application' and 'A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - (no process is at the end of the pipe) Kein Prozess ist am anderen Ende der Pipe.)'

and now

'Server Error in '/' Application'
'Login failed for user 'sa''

I created a user 'sa' within my SQL-Server...

I suppose I should stay with the 'standardwebsite'.

Please make sure that you have set the password for the connection string in the web.config file.

Thank you very much for your support!

I' m sorry, but I did not get managed to work with Gemini. And now my boss canceled the project.

Bye and good luck to others!
