Webservice not working with default installation

jordi79

Hi,
I am doing the webservice tutorial from DEV 2 pdf manual. The installation is on a single computer, all with default settings. In chapter 10, I am to enter the address:

http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV/WS/CR ... d/Services

and it should display an xml content. Instead, I am getting a "Website cannot display page" error. I checked, and IIS seems to be working. When I enter http://localhost, it displays the default ISS page.

Check this

CompanyName
The name of the company that the service is exposed from. Company name is optional when accessing the WSDL or calling the SystemService Web service. The company name must be included in the URL used for all other Web service calls.

Note
Special characters in the company name must be URL Encoded. For example, spaces in company names must be replaced by %20. So you would encode the company name "Microsoft France S.A." as:

Microsoft%20France%20S.A.

Characters not part of the installed language should also be replace. For example, in a US English locale, the company name "CRONUS ÆØÅ Company" should be encoded as:

CRONUS%20%C3%86%C3%98%C3%85%20Company

Chemanel

[url=Http://localhost/]Http://localhost/[/url] point to your IIS server, but Nav has is own process on port 7047 (by default) that has nothing to do with IIS. (another .exe, another service)

Check if the service is running. His name is : "Microsoft Dynamics NAV Business Web Services"

You can also try to access this page :

http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV/WS/Services

Does it work?

Hi,

It is working now. I used the url:

http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV/WS/Services

and it displays the list of web services published in XML.

And to make it simpler, I renamed the company to CRONUS From CRONUS Internation Ltd. and I used the URL:

http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV/WS/CRONUS/Services

The question now would be, is there a difference between the two?
http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV/WS/CRONUS/Services and
http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV/WS/Services

And one more comment to add to this... this somehow only works on Internet Explorer browsers, but does not work with Google Chrome. I wonder why...

deV.ch

Custom Webservices can only be called with the company in the url. The services displayed under : http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV/WS/Services are system services. Fore example to get all available companys

And the rename of the company is not needed. %20 instead of Underline would be enough. This is a fault in the documentation it was this way before sp1 (as i know).
