Dotnetpanel Forums

Hi - I have looked very hard through the forums, and your support pages, but I can't work out why I broke my application.

I copied one that I knew was working, and then I made changes to the application.xml within the folder and in the root folder and now I can't get it working any more. I put the new one in.

I have to be honest, I've found this whole setup to be very discouraging and difficult - I thought I was smart, but the more I look into how it all works, the more discouraged I'm getting.

Can someone please advise me on what I've done wrong.

Thanks

Nina

You need to make sure that the application pack you created doesn't have the same ID as another application pack.

<application
  id="b2evolution"

Thanks very much for replying - that was my first thought too so I went back in and put the old xml file back  - and rechecked it. Even with the original XML file in place, it's not displaying any more.

Here's my code - (not sure if it will successfully post but I'll try once)

// edit  - by the way I meant to say I'm really impressed with what you've done with dnp - seeing how you've made it work so well is great //

So you added the following to C:\DotNetPanel\Enterprise Server\WebApplications\Applications.xml

 <category id="NinasBuild">
  <name>Nina's Kynexis Builds</name>
  <applications>
   <application name="XD_Kynexis_Build" />
   <application name="XD_Kynexis_Catalook" />
   <application name="Kynexis"/>
  </applications>
 </category>

So in your Application.xml for Kynexis you should have something like this:

<application
  id="Kynexis"
  codebase="Kynexis.zip"
  settingsControl="Kynexis.ascx">
<name>Kynexis</name>
<category>Nina's Kynexis Builds</category>

*sigh* thank you thank you thank you - so close - but I see the error of my ways! I'm going to give it a crack now - It has a wizard which allows me to upload the file before proceeding - this will be used later on for the for upgrades which will be handled in patches rather than full installs. I'm excited to see if this works - I would like to learn more so I can get dasBlogs working as well.

 I hope this is correct but I checked my errors and think it is.. Thanks so much for your help. Nina
