Windows Server 2012

[dc8johnson]

I'm trying to install Gold R6 on a Windows Server 2012 machine and I'm getting 500 errors. If I remove the web.config then I can view the static pages like CSS files. If I start commenting out lines in the web.config I can eventually get the CSS files to display but the site doesn't run.

Should GOLD be able to run on Windows Server 2012? Are there any changes necessary to get this to work?

Thanks,

It has nothing to do with the OS, AbleCommerce requires IIS and .NET. It sounds like you have a major configuration issue and/or messed something up in the web.config most likely related to security (authentication). Windows Server 2012 will work fine.

AbleCommerce requires 32bit application pool option enabled. In IIS8 this option is not enabled by default.

- Open IIS8 manager
- Select application pool assigned to your site and select Advanced Settings
- Set "Enable 32-Bit Applications" to True

where is this documented? I don't see it at help.ablecommerce.com in system requirements, etc. If this was the case this user would have seen a binary format exception, it sounds like he has issues with any aspx page rendering and authentication issues, i.e. web.config(s) are tampered with an incorrect.

Make sure that you have uninstalled any Citrix programs before you try to install Ablecommerce or any printers. I have two Windows 2012 Servers, one with Ablecommerce websites and the other with our main database. I had some major issues when I configured the database server because I loaded GoToMy PC on it before I had everything else loaded. It also messed with our printers. So, definitely check what other programs you have on the server.

The problem turned out to be that ASP.NET 4.5 had been installed before IIS was installed. So .NET wasn't enabled for IIS because of how the core server was installed.
