Hi,

I'm having a bit of confusion with SIP 2.0.3. I have a page which uses PAU 3 and SIP to upload and resize an image which works fine
locally (access using IE on the Win2000 DC server itself) but doesn't work when accessed from outside the lan (from where the rest
of the site works fine, including the PAU part before i added SIP to the page).

Browsing /ScriptLibrary/detect.asp results:

The server is a domain controller, has .net 1.1 + 2.0 installed (2.0 selected in the IIS website) has MSXML 4 + 6 installed and has
the latest service pack and hot fixes.

The users ASPNET, IUSR_xxx, IWAM_xxx have read and execute on the website and modify on the upload folder.

The bin and ScriptLibrary folders are in place and contain all the files from my development pc.

Any Ideas?

Many Thanks
James

George's Reply:

Hi James,

This forum is for Smart Image Processor extension.
Smart Image Processor 2 is different extension and it's forums could be found through the following link:
dmxzone.com/forum/default.asp?NewsId=12607

About your problem, if the extension work from the LAN there should be some administrative restrictions.
Therefore, you should contact your system administrator.

You could get more information for the error by starting your page with the following parameters:
sipinfo=true&sipdebug=true

For example:
mydomain:80/mySIP2_page.asp?sipinfo=true&sipdebug=true

Unfortunately, I am my system administrator <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> . I agree, this sounds like a permissions problem and was wondering where i could start looking. As i said in my original post, the users ASPNET, IUSR_xxx, IWAM_xxx have read and execute permissions on the website and modify permissions on the upload folder.

Hi James,

Try to add to your web.config file the tags for setting default compilation tempDirectory and trust level to Full.
For example add the following lines:

&lt;trust level="Full" originUrl="" /&gt;
&lt;compilation tempDirectory="C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\" defaultLanguage="C#" /&gt;

I hope this will help you.

Regards,

Georgi Kralev

Hi,

I tired adding the following:

&lt;trust level="Full" originUrl="" /&gt;
&lt;compilation tempDirectory="C:\WINNT\TEMP\" defaultLanguage="C#" /&gt;

The only thing i changed was the tempDirectory location as it's a win 2000 box. This unfortunately did not work. I also tried adding modify permissions to the temp directory for ASPNET, IUSR_xxx and IWAM_xxx but this didn't work either.

Should I restart IIS when making changes to web.config (never used them before since i usually work with classic asp)?
Should I undo any of these changes before we try something else?

Is there a way of making detect.asp return the actual error rather than the vague statement 'An error has accured with ASP.NET component Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0'?

Many thanks again
James

.. and that addition to web.config stopped it from working locally too:

Server Error in '/' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: There are multiple root elements. Line 4, position 2.
Source Error:

Line 2: &lt;configuration xmlns="schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0"&gt;
Line 3: &lt;/configuration&gt;

Line 5: &lt;compilation tempDirectory="C:\WINNT\TEMP\" defaultLanguage="C#" /&gt;

Source File: C:\Company Shared Folders\ChallengerIntranet\web.config Line: 4

my web.config:

&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
&lt;configuration xmlns="schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0"&gt;
&lt;/configuration&gt;
&lt;trust level="Full" originUrl="" /&gt;
&lt;compilation tempDirectory="C:\WINNT\TEMP\" defaultLanguage="C#" /&gt;

oops, found the answer to that problem. Your code needed wrapping in system.web tags and needed to be within the configuration tag. My web.config now looks like:

&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
&lt;configuration xmlns="schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0"&gt;
&lt;system.web&gt;
&lt;trust level="Full" originUrl="" /&gt;
&lt;compilation tempDirectory="C:\WINNT\TEMP\" defaultLanguage="C#" /&gt;
&lt;/system.web&gt;
&lt;/configuration&gt;

Which works again locally, but still not remotely.

many thanks
James

I've messed about with a copy of the detect.asp page and modified the function DotNetCheckComponent to:

function DotNetCheckComponent(DotNetObj, ResizeComUrl)
dim objHttp, Detection
Detection = false
on error resume next
err.clear
'response.write("Checking "&DotNetObj&"&lt;br&gt;"
Set objHttp = Server.CreateObject(DotNetObj)
if err.number = 0 then
'response.write("Object "&DotNetObj&" created&lt;br&gt;"
objHttp.open "GET", ResizeComUrl, false
if err.number = 0 then
objHttp.Send ""
if (objHttp.status &lt;&gt; 200 ) then
<b>Response.Write("Status: " & objHttp.status & "&lt;br&gt;"
Response.Write("Error Number: " & err.number & "&lt;br&gt;" </b>
Response.Write "An error has accured with ASP.NET component " & DotNetObj & "&lt;br&gt;"
Response.Write "Returned:&lt;br&gt;" & objHttp.responseText & "&lt;br&gt;"
Response.End
end if
if trim(objHttp.responseText) &lt;&gt; "" and trim(objHttp.responseText) = "DONE" then
Detection = true
end if
end if
Set objHttp = nothing
End if
on error goto 0
'response.write("Detection is "&Detection&"&lt;br&gt;"
DotNetCheckComponent = Detection
end function

This retuned the error number: -2147483638. A quick google finds this: support.microsoft.com/kb/186063

-2147483638 (8000000A)
The data necessary to complete this operation not yet available.

Hopefully it means more to you than it does to me <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> .

Hi
I have uploaded my image upload pages to our production server and i can confirm that i have the same problem there to.

Testing server: works locally, but not from outside lan
Production server: works locally, but not from outside lan

Still scratching my head here.

James

James,

Please, do not open new threads for the same problem.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>The bit that i find strange is "NOT FOUND: Smart Image Processor Own component". The Bin folder has been uploaded to root of the website and contains DMXzone.ImageProcessor.dll . I have read elsewhere that the .dll does not need registering using regsvr32.exe - is this true? Do i need to copy it to $windir$\system32 or something?<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>

DMXzone.ImageProcessor.dll is .NET assembly file. It is not ActiveX or COM DLL file and it does not need to be registered with regsvr32.exe.

If the extension work from the local network but not from a remote site it means that the problem is not with the extension.

It looks like something is preventing its functionality. For example it could be some security settings, firewalls, Http Proxy etc.

Hi George

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Please, do not open new threads for the same problem.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>

Sorry, I thought that the included component was a separate way of working with images than the .net component and was hoping that i might find success with it. I was not aware that they are the same.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>It looks like something is preventing its functionality.

Where should i look?
Which security settings?
Which firewall port? (does the application need to communicate with the client on a different port than TCP 80?)
It can't be a proxy, because we don't use one.

Would it help you help me if i gave you the addresses of my detect.asp and a sample upload page on our server?

challenger.dnsalias.org/ScriptLibrary/detect.asp
challenger.dnsalias.org/ScriptLibrary/sip_service.asmx - Does this prove asp.net is installed and working?

Hi James,

Try to add the following lines to your web.config

&lt;webServices&gt;
&lt;protocols&gt;
&lt;add name="HttpGet"/&gt;
&lt;add name="HttpPost"/&gt;
&lt;/protocols&gt;
&lt;/webServices&gt;

It should look like this:

&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
&lt;configuration xmlns="schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0"&gt;
&lt;system.web&gt;
&lt;trust level="Full" originUrl="" /&gt;
&lt;compilation tempDirectory="C:\WINNT\TEMP\" defaultLanguage="C#" /&gt;
&lt;webServices&gt;
&lt;protocols&gt;
&lt;add name="HttpGet"/&gt;
&lt;add name="HttpPost"/&gt;
&lt;/protocols&gt;
&lt;/webServices&gt;
&lt;/system.web&gt;
&lt;/configuration&gt;

It the problem persist send me a link to sip_service.asmx and to the page with SIP2 that gives the error at the following address:


I will try to test the problem and see if I could provide any solution.

Hi Georgi,

Many thanks for your patients in helping me with my .net component problem. As requested I have tried to modify my web.config, but this has not helped unfortunately. As requested, I have emailed you links to sip_service.asmx and to the page with SIP2 that gives the error.

Many thanks,
James

Hi James,

Thank you for your email of May 16. I will check your links and I will send you an email as soon as I have results or if I need some additional information.
