Err_connection_refused && APPCRASH

PowerShell Universal
1 
**Product**: PowerShell Universal (MSI installer)
**Version**: 2.1.2 & 2.1.1
**OS version**: Windows Server 2012R2

Hi , I am testing this product since 2 week.
Last week , after a reboot server, http//localhost:5000 on Edge Browser show the error page: “Err_connection-refused”
I tried many things: reboot, restart-service, update Universal with new version 2.1.2, etc… but same issue

So i decide to install on another VM windows server 2012R2 but with the last version 2.1.2. Results : everything is OK too

But one on my dashboard is very slow to “start” in my browser ( 10 sec.), so I decide to increase RAM and CPU of my VM W2012R2 server. After that, ARRRRGGH: same issue of my first server: PU is DOWN!

After reading one post in this forum ( HTTP Error 502.5 - ANCM Out-Of-Process Startup Failure - PowerShell Universal - Ironman Software Forums), I try the solution:

  • Delete the file setting.ps1. file in C:\ProgramData\UniversalAutomation\Repository.universal\
  • restart service powershelluniversal

These actions solve the issue of the appcrash (but not Dashboard slow)

Note : before delete this ps1 file, i check if there is some code inside but it was empty. On explorer , size of file was 0 KB

I create this topic because I think it is more easy with this title

A big Thank you for your work Adam

The slow dashboard issue I can certainly reproduce. I’ve noticed that for the last few versions and I’m not 100% sure why it’s the case. I’ll open an issue to get better visibility into it.

As for the app crash, I’ll open an issue for that too since that should be easy to fix.

Hi Adam, no more very slow dashboard. The solution:
I create a new environment and set true on the parameter “persistent runspace”
After apply this new environement on my dashboard, dashboard is more faster
Now, I can try to “sell” this product to my manager :slight_smile:
