EP - IIS/NAS combinations

MatthiasN

G'day All,

My single server setup works.

I have a dual server setup with webserver alone, and NAS/SQL on another server.

My webparts work but Report Preview seems not to work - browser says page not found (error 404).

Is there a problem with NAS not being on the webserver - when NAS processes a request for SHOW REPORT, where is the output written to (on NAS or WEB)? Will the webserver find the tempfile if it exists on the remote server (NAS) ?

I'm trying to debug with NASSQL but not much joy....................

Thanks in anticipation.

Best regards, Matthias.

Hi,

whenever you have a problem on SharePoint that a page can not be loaded (e.g. 404) then have a look in IIS AND SharePoint configuration.

In IIS you should see a virutal folder called UserControls

Please have a look if:
- it is really a virtual folder
- it is not running in an own application in IIS (the box application name should be greyed out)
- if the link to the physical folder contains the files:
x Report.aspx
- Filestream.aspx
- Lookup.aspx

Secondly go to the SharePoint configuration of the virtual server and have a look if the above mentioned virtual folder is in the "Excluded Path" for that server.
Why? Because if it is not excluded, SharePoint ISAPI handler tries to run the page from his database. But it is a physical file which should be run by IIS-ASP.NET ISAPI. With the excluded path, the HTTP request is forwarded to ASP.NET (and ignored by SharePoint).

Now it should work.

HTH,
Rainer

Thanks Rainer - ya da man!

Excludepath was the trick.


Cheers and regards, Matthias.
