Installation issues on 2008 64-bit

I'm not getting any sites appearing on rest interface. I've successfully gotten essentials running previously on our development machine which was 2003 sp2 32-bit. I'm going through the Quick Start and followed the steps. I've checked logs and getting very little has appeared in it. Just a warning about BusinessObjectsIntegration Create status: NoLicenceServers and two errors about map service 'Charlotte' is invalid or currently unavailable because they could not connect to the remote server (no general internet access on machine). If I re-save the site.xml no new log files are appearing in (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Geocortex\Essentials\Web\App_Data\Logs). The dates on current log files are 7 days old. I'm putting the site.xml in a subdirectory under C:\Program Files (x86)\Latitude Geographics\Geocortex Essentials\Default\REST Elements\Sites. I have rebooted server since install. We have got some time purchased to help set it up. But I would like the to at least have the Quick Start running beforehand.

  Those are the ADF logs.  You will want to check the REST logs:   C:\Program Files (x86)\Latitude Geographics\Geocortex Essentials\Default\REST Elements\REST\App_Data\Logs     I also recommend installing Essentials 3.0 (If that is an option) and using the Geocortex Essentials REST Manager to create REST sites.  It is over 27 times easier.

  27?  Not 28?

   

   

  Any yes did end up installing 3.0 and worked fine out of the box on 2008 64 machine.

  Are there any test cases regarding installation of GeoCortex Essentials on VM Ware?

   

  I seem to have problems on the Post Install and was wonder if anyone has any suggestions?

   

  Operating System: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.100618-1621)

   

  System Manufacturer: VMware, Inc.

   

  System Model: VMware Virtual Platform

   

  Memory: 4096MB RAM

   

  ( I have ASPNET .Net 4 Framework, enabling 32bit apps, but perhaps something is missing in the IIS config?, ArcGIS Server is not installed locally..)

   

  Post Install returns this error right away..

   

  System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

  at Geocortex.Essentials.PostInstall.EssentialsPostInstall.StartupAsync(InitWindow window)

   

   

  Thanks Again,

  Hi Michelle, It looks like the Post Installer is unhappy with the site bindings it's finding. Can you fire up your IIS Manager, select your web site from the tree view, and click on "Bindings..." in the Actions pane, and show me what your bindings look like?   Thanks!   Jordan

  Hi Jordan,

   

  Thanks for this - I think I have resolved the issue..

   

  I checked the existing bindings on the sites that were defined in IIS and none had references to port 80.

   

  I had one site with a binding to port 21 and one to port 443, but none to port 80.

   

  Once I create a site with binding to port 80 the post install worked..

   

  Thanks again, Michelle

  I'm glad it's working for you now. I've successfully reproduced the error, here, too, and brought it to the attention of our installer team (GE-1016). We'll be addressing the issue in an upcoming release, and in the meantime, we'll know to advise users to ensure they have the expected bindings.   Thanks for your help, Jordan
