Running your web application

Once you have published your web pages and started the Rules Service, you can run the published pages.

To run your publication in a web browser:

1.	Start your browser.

2.	In the Address / Location field, type:

http://localhost/virtual-folder/publication-configuration.aspx

For example:

http://localhost/MyWebApplication/MyPublication.asp

3.	Enter your user name and password in the Login page.

Troubleshooting

Here are some solutions to some problems that you might experience when you try to log on to a generated web page.

TIP: For more elaborate error messages, set the publication configuration's Log Level attribute to INFO.

Problem

Error message after log on attempt:

Failed to create Socket connection. Connection refused: connect Try again

Solution

Install and start the Rules Service with at least one Rules Engine running.

Problem

In the Rules Service configuration pages, I cannot enter an application name because the dropdown list for the <Application Name> field is empty.

Solution

In the Authorizer, change the Owner for the application that you want to start to the user name for the database account.

Only those applications are listed in the <Application Name> dropdown list.

Problem

Error message after log on attempt:

Failed to connect to Engine. The application "APPNAME" is not known

Solution 1

(Re-)configure the Rules Service. Reset application name to APPNAME, and click Run.

Solution 2

Check if the publication (in the Web Designer) has the correct Connection Specifier:

jdbc:jrec:APPNAME@localhost:7777

If not, change this Connection Specifier and re-publish. The application for the Rules Service must be the same as the application in the Connection Specifier string.

Problem

Error message after log on attempt:

No suitable driver. Internal Error.

Solution

Check the Security Settings for the publication folder. This folder must be readable by Everyone.

Problem

Error message after log on attempt:

com.usoft.XMLParser.USXMLDOMException:

Cannot create a Microsoft DOM Document : Class not registered.

Solution

For the USoft Web Server you require the Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0

When installing USoft Series, you will be asked to install the Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 SP1.

Problem

Error message after log on attempt:

006~ASP 0177~Server.CreateObject Failed~800401f3

Solution

The cause of this problem may be that the published ASP page contains a different version number in its content than the installed component, e.g.

Set USComVM = Server.CreateObject("USoftComJavaCall.ComJavaCall.6")

Problem

Error message when browsing the runtime application:

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 80004005'

Server.CreateObject Failed

/PublicationFolder/MyPublication.asp, line 12

Unspecified error

Solution

You need to register a USoft COM+ component in Microsoft Component Services.

WARNING: This way of running web pages is now deprecated. It may not be supported in future versions of USoft. You should prefer running your web pages with a USoft service.
