Trouble testing DotNetDemo on local machine.

Reply Quote

Hi there,

I'm having trouble installing the DotNetGallery to my local PC for testing.

I'm using Win XP Pro with IIS 5 and have the .net framework installed. I've created the folder structure as instructed with the .dll file in the bin folder and license file in the licenses folder etc.

When I try to run either example files (e.g. default_vb.aspx) in Internet Explorer I get the following error:

Server Application Unavailable

The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request.

I'm new to .net applications and may be missing something fundamental.

All help is much appreciated.

Alex

Thanks Adam,

That was a great help.

I'm closer now but up against another problem - the example pages run but i just get a black screen with 'DotNetGallery Online Demonstration' text at the top. No pictures or anything else is displayed.

Any ideas?

Many thanks again.

Alex

Hi Adam,

Alex,

No, that's a dotnetgallery built-in button.

<CE:Gallery

id="gallery1"

runat="server"

Height="300"

Width="600"

Column = "6"

MaxImageWidth="600"

BackColor="#ffffff"

CellPadding="3"

AutoResizeUploadedImages = "true"

CellSpacing="3"

ForeColor="#000000"

BorderColor="#ffffff"

BorderStyle="solid"

BorderWidth="0"

CssClass="container"

ShowThumbNailName="true"

ShowThumbNailSize="true"

ShowThumbNailDate="true"

ShowThumbNailDescription="true"

ShowBatchBuild="true"

FolderPath = "/imagegallerydemo2"

></CE:Gallery>

Make sure the ShowBatchBuild property is set to true.

Thanks for that Adam,

I had no ShowBatchBuild entry in the code I downloaded from you at all. Should I have known that this line was needed? I'm not sure what knowledge of .net I'm missing.

Anyway, I've added the line as you suggest but I still get just a black screen. Where should this button be appearing?

Please bear with me because the gallery as it functions on your web site is exactly what I need so I need to get this working!

Thanks again,

Alex

Have you create a web project for testing?

Have you seen some dotnetgallery button on the screen?

Adam,

I use Dreamweaver MX and am testing the site on my local PC in the \inetpub\ folder with IIS 5 and windows XP pro.

Is there a chat room where we can resolve this more qucikly?

Thanks,
Alex

Adam,

I have followed all your your instructions so far but still get a blank screen. I have just a screen with a black background and the words ' DotNetGallery Online Demonstration' at the top. Nothing else.

Maybe the browser can't find the samples folder? I have tried chaging the FolderPath = "~/samplefolder" code but nothing works.

Any ideas please?

Alex

Alex,

I got your screenshot and found the problem.

Please visit your site using:

http://localhost/webapplication1/default_vb_aspx

Instead of

c:\inetpub\wwwroot\webapplication1\default_vb.aspx
