Webclient new instance errors

rcverbeek

Hi,

I am working on a BC2018 CU3 project and got problems opening the web client. This is a non default instance. What I have done so far:

1. Created a new Cronus database and server instance using the Service Tier Administration (Version v3.4.0.0). The service tier and database are on the same server.
2. I have verified that the object designer and RTC work properly.
3. I have enabled all appropriate settings for AL development
4. Created a new NaAVWebserverInstance on port 8081 (code see below this list)
5. The property PublicWebBaseUrl has a value of: http://ADF-SOFT-01:8081/Greenline_AL/Webclient/
6. I have verified that the application has been created in IIS
7. On the server, Created a new AL project in VSCode
8. The symbols got downloaded

New-NAVWebServerInstance -WebServerInstance Greenline_AL -Server localhost -ServerInstance Greenline_AL -SiteDeploymentType RootSite -WebSitePort 8081 -PublishFolder "C:\Temp\BC14 CU03\WebClient\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\140\Web Client\WebPublish"

When I hit Ctrl+F5 it starts the web client on http://adf-soft-01:8081/?page=22 and shows a login screen. When I enter my credentials it fails with Something went wrong.
The even viewer shows:

Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel
Connection id "0HM22KF35MLPU", Request id "0HM22KF35MLPU:0000000B": An unhandled exception was thrown by the application.

System.AggregateException: An error occurred while writing to logger(s). ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access is denied
at System.Diagnostics.EventLogInternal.InternalWriteEvent(UInt32 eventID, UInt16 category, EventLogEntryType type, String[] strings, Byte[] rawData, String currentMachineName)

When I use F5 instead, it shows a lot more errors in the event viewe, like:

My launch.json settings are:

    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "al",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Greenline_AL",
            "server": "http://localhost/",

            "enableLongRunningSqlStatements": true,
            "enableSqlInformationDebugger": true
        }
    ]
}

Can anyone point me in the right direction in solving this issue. If you need more info/settings, please let me know.

Thanks very much for taking the time!

I have reinstalled the NAVWebServerInstance with PublishFolder now pointing to an existing folder in wwwroot. This has resolved the issue,
