Hi,
Sorry for the noobish nature of this but I just can't get the PTWeb app to work on a new machine.
It all works perfectly on my home box, from when I first installed it all last year but, on this other machine I'm having problems.
Everything is configured the same as the home machine as far as I can tell. Everything builds fine and PTWin works flawlessly but when I try to run PTWeb I can't login. I get the login screen up (incidentally I had to change the default files on the PTWeb virtual directory settings in IIS to login.aspx as otherwise I got nothing) but when I enter the username and password and click to login, I get an exception in the Fetch method of the DataPortal class. The "result = proxy.Fetch(..." line throws the exception "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".
It looks like the EnterpriseServices proxy is throwing the exception but I just can't see why. Everything looks fine to me.
Anyone got any ideas of things to look for as I'm at a total loss here :(
Toby.
Hi Rocky,
It's possible that something else was set incorrectly when I couldn't get it to work with the original default documents in the virtual directory settings. Just tried changing it back to default.aspx and it works fine now.
The default page comes up, I can click the login link and enter the username and password fine, so it looks like the ASP.NET pages are being generated and served fine, it's just when I try to actually login I get the above exception on the DataPortal Fetch method. Looks like the EnterpriseServicesHost is failing to retrieve the data from the database somehow, although everything seems to be configured correctly from what I can tell.
Try getting it to work without Enterprise Services. You most likely won't need it anyway and it adds a huge level of complexity to the task of getting PTwin to run.

And you ran the regsvcs utility to register the ES assembly, and
you configured the COM+ Application as required (see Chapter 12)?
