New Universal install - A few issues

scott.mcallister · June 22, 2020, 8:29am

Hey all

few wee issues that are hopefully straight forward solutions

picked up a license for universal last week, but when trying to install the license but when trying to install the license via the dashboard, the OK button either doesn’t work or I get an error that says “Failed it install license” (or something to that effect).
I also noticed that at the default login page after a fresh install, using “Admin” and any password doesn’t always redirect to the logged in page but if i manually browse to https://localhost:5000/admin it works fine.
I played about a wee touch last week with hooking up active directory for logging in but haven’t had much joy with it so rather than rip out everything I’d done I just uninstalled and did a fresh install of Universal but when I do the fresh install it pulls back in all the changes I made to the authentication so I’m assuming they’re stored in a config file somewhere?
on the identities page, if I remove an identity that I added it tells me it removed it successfully but it doesn’t actually

Not sure if I’ve somehow made a message of the install, although I’m not sure how since its all automated.

any suggestions on any of the above?

Scott

.1. Didnt have an issue with licences myself, make sure to copy all the licence you received the whole thing. If it still doesnt work you might need to contact adam.

.3. Universal has folders situated inside the c:\programdata\ folder, likley in here.

Jacob-Evans · June 22, 2020, 12:03pm

Are you trying to use Windows Authentication for Logging in? If so, that requires IIS, not the MSI Install.

Check here: https://docs.ironmansoftware.com/config/hosting-iis
And then here: https://docs.ironmansoftware.com/config/hosting-iis-windowsauth

adam · June 22, 2020, 12:08pm

For 2, can you please open your dev tools and see if there is an error when this happens? F12
For 4, can you please send me a log after trying that? C:\ProgramData\PowerShellUniversal

scott.mcallister · June 22, 2020, 12:41pm

Yeah I was, I realised after playing about that I needed to host in IIS for that to work

Although thats another topic entirely, for what ever reason its just not playing ball. Followed the hosting-iis page to the letter and its just not liking me.

the jist of this is I hate IIS

scott.mcallister · June 22, 2020, 12:42pm

Hey

I removed all the program data folders before seeing this
I’ll try and recreate it

scott.mcallister · June 22, 2020, 1:54pm

Adam sorted out my license issue, seemed I was missing a bit

Made progress getting universal into IIS but I just get hit with this…

After having a rumage through logs, I came across this

2 complains about this
System.Exception: Invalid license specified. But I’ve not specified a licence file yet because its not operational?
And one of these
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

This is my web.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Watching through Adam’s video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=237&v=jKdGPAn4WzA&feature=emb_logo, and having a look at the example web.config file on the docs, https://docs.ironmansoftware.com/config/hosting-iis, they are slightly different but I’ve tried both variations in case that was my issue

Other than that, Everything I’ve got setup is identical to the docs on hosting Universal in IIS

Jacob-Evans · June 22, 2020, 1:59pm

Needed a Rubber Duck?

adam · June 22, 2020, 1:59pm

It looks like the invalid license is still configured. Can you verify that the license.ps1 file in C:\ProgramData\UniversalAutomation.universal is empty?

Can you also try deleting the database.db in the C:\ProgramData\UniversalAutomation folder?

The NullReference is an issue we’re looking at but it happens when the server is shutting down so I think that is fine for the moment. It’s likely not the issue preventing IIS from functioning.

scott.mcallister · June 22, 2020, 2:03pm

A rubber duck? haha

scott.mcallister · June 22, 2020, 2:06pm

Hey

Yeah the license file still looked to have the incomplete key in it so I’ve removed that as well as deleting the database.

Still getting this though

adam · June 22, 2020, 2:30pm

That’s a known error as well and doesn’t seem to affect anything. Another on the list to clean up.

Can you check out the stdout logs? In the web.config, you’ll see the path is pointing at .\logs\log. They should be relative to the website directory, I believe. You might need to switch to OutOfProcess to see these logs.

There is something we are missing here. It almost appears that the website is starting and immediately stopping. If you run the Universa.Server.exe outside of IIS, does it work?

scott.mcallister · June 22, 2020, 2:42pm

Sure thing

changing to OutOfProcess and checking the logs it shows this…

I tried running Universal.Server.exe on its own and it outputs exactly the same as the log file pasted above.

Overall, the logs look good. When you run Universal outside of IIS and navigate to http://localhost:5000, can you login?

Morning Adam

Yeah, If i run it after the MSI installer or even from just the Universal.Server.exe I can get to http://localhost:5000 and login fine.

If anyone lands on this topic, we found that the problem was that IIS was unable to listen or serve on port 80 for some reason. We changed the port in IIS to 8080 and it worked. The final working web.config was something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
     <handlers>
      <add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModuleV2" resourceType="Unspecified" />
    </handlers>
    <aspNetCore processPath="Universal.Server.exe" arguments="" forwardWindowsAuthToken="false" stdoutLogEnabled="true" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\log" hostingModel="OutOfProcess" />
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>
<!--ProjectGuid: 588ACF2E-9AE5-4DF1-BC42-BCE16A4C4EDE-->

Scott is going to try and figure out why port 80 wasn’t working.

Was this running on a desktp or a dedicated server?
