Status: Unverified

FACT(s) (Environment):

WebSpeed 3.x

SYMPTOM(s):

IIS

Developing from the Progress AppBuilder in remote development.

The browser will load and display the working directory of the Progress WebSpeed broker and files of type w, p, i & htm as well as the subdirectory's names contained in the working directory.

An error occurred while reading the WebSpeed directory and will be displayed in your Web browser.

CAUSE:

If the browser displays a blank page after you click OK on the error message, then check the temporary file that is generated with the output received from the web server.

When the error message "An error occurred while reading the WebSpeed...." appears, do not click OK. Go to the working directory of this session, and look for a file named pXXXXXws.tmp, where XXXXX is a random number.

The output should indicate what the problem is.

FIX:

The reason for this problem is a permission problem with the web server. By default, the installation of IIS, for example, creates a new user account named IUSR_<computer-name>, and it sets this as the username for remote connections. This account must be on the machine locally and must also have the user rights of logon locally.

The usual reasons for seeing this problem is that the username and password supplied in the IIS for anonymous access is either not correct or the username supplied does not have logon locally rights.

In IIS 4 & 5, the details of the user used for this is found in the Directory Security tab of the properties of the IIS, and it can also control the password for the user used.

IIS 2 and 3, the details of the user used is found in the Service tab of the WWW Service.

Another test to see if the user details are correct, is to try logging onto the Windows system with the username and password you believe is correct. If a local login with this account cannot be performed then the IIS using these details also does not work.
