I have two scenarios that I'm having trouble connecting to with DataPort.

I have one development site that is running on a specific port and it doesn't seem to like it. I enter http://example.com:100 into the address field at it comes back with "Failed to connect - are you sure the store url is correct?", which it is.

The second layer to this is that we've modified the store to require users to login before they see *anything* cart related, could this cause an issue? Is it possible to allow access to the API files needed to connect?

figured it out. Add an exception in your web.config file to allow ClientApiService.ashx to be accessed. I guess the port number wasn't a problem, just the security.

Code: Select all

  <location path="clientapi/ClientApiService.ashx">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <allow users="*" />
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
  </location>
