IIS Express???

[jdn717]

I just finished building the databases and everything from the initial web portal. Once finished it asked if I wanted to go the main site, but it fails with "This page cannot be displayed" error. My license domain matches and the license key is correct. Any ideas? I'm stumped and getting a lil frustrated :/

Check the Windows Event Log (Application).

This is so ridiculous. Theres no events in the viewer. I removed the license file and now I get a 500 error...

Sorry guys, Im just venting. I think there's something with our companies domain controller that's screwing me up. Be back with more details later.

Is IIS Express allowed for development in Visual Studio?

Yes, IIS Express is what I use. It might help if you can explain exactly the steps you are taking, provide a screenshot or something to help us understand what could be going wrong.

OK, so I finished the installer by deleting all my IIS Express folders in "documents", "Program Files x86" and "Program Files". Then I ran my IIS Express installer again, removed IIS Express, then reinstalled it.

Then, I opened my project in Visual Studio pressed the "play/debug" button, IIS Express loaded the Installer portal and I entered in all my company data and product key, hooked up the databases successfully. Everything was going great until I got to the last page of the installer where there is a button that says something like "Access Merchant Administration", I clicked the button and...

This page can’t be displayed

•Make sure the web address http://localhost:58957 is correct.
•Look for the page with your search engine.
•Refresh the page in a few minutes.

I checked the application logs, there is nothing, I checked IIS Express logs for the application, there is nothing.

My only guess is that there is a licensing or privileges issue. Yet, I have confirmed the domain/port concurs with my license.

In AbleCommerce Gold, you shouldn't need the port number to be part of the license, and I see this is how your license was configured. I had another key sent just now. It will be for "localhost" only. To install, just delete the existing app_data\commercebuilder.lic file and try to access the merchant menu again. You should be prompted with a page to install a license. Then you can try the new key just sent.

The URL to the merchant menu should be http://localhost:58957/admin/default.aspx

Voila! This new key helped me out. I didn't need to change my port in applicationhost.config and it worked. Much thanks!

I'm so happy to hear that! Thanks for letting us know.
