Hi, which enviroment are you running in?  Is this a clean install?  Have you got the correct permission on your folder?  Are you running in IIS?

Charlie.

Hi Charlie,

Thanks for your reply.

My environment:

Windows 2008 Server R2 SP1 (64 bits).

IIS 7.5 .7600.16385

.NET 4.5 Framework and MVC 4 installed.

For testing for testing purposes i have installed Txt Starter Kit.

Folder permissions are correct, i guess. As usual i followed this wiki: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/files-and-folders/permissions ;

Any ideas?

Hi Ivan Sorry for the late reply

Have you tried re-installing a new Umbraco 7 install with out the starter kit.  Those starter kits have had problems in the past :)

Alos in your / site root / config folder

Is the application.config andf trees.config file?  and what are the size of those files?

Thanks,

Charlie

Like Charles Afford said I got an error for some time ago, and if I remember correct this was with one of the starter kits, i just re-installed the hole thing with nugget I think that's the easiest way.

Make a new mvc4 project and delete the global file and all files in app_start folder, then run this "Install-Package UmbracoCms" in the Package Manager Console, when you run the installation just take empty instead of a starter kit. This worked for me.

Hi guys!

Thanks for your replys. I will try to install it again following your indications.

Write here again in a while ;-)

Hi again,

Unfortunately, after re-installing Umbraco 7 without any starter kit i got the same problem.

No way. I can't make Umbraco 7.x work on my Windows 2008 R2 SP1 production server.

7.1 beta version won't even begin installation process.

I will keep working with Umbraco 6 and hope Umbraco 7 problems get fixed in the near future.

 

Can you explain the installation process ?

because mine is working fine.

Hello Dan,

My environment:

Windows 2008 Server R2 SP1 (64 bits).
IIS 7.5 .7600.16385
.NET 4.5 Framework and MVC 4 installed.
SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition (64 bits) - Version 10.50.4000.0
WebsitePanel 2.0.0 for managing domain/websites
OS language Spanish (Spain) - Timezone Madrid. 

I am doing a manual installation. First at all, i create a new clean domain and website using Websitepanel, with ASP.NET 4.0 (Integrated) dedicated application pool.
After that i create a clean 2008 DB and upload all files  from "UmbracoCms.7.0.4.zip" downloaded from: http://our.umbraco.org/ReleaseDownload?id=109719

Then i set all read/write permissions following http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/files-and-folders/permissions instructions (also setting Modify/Full control to "Add_Browsers", "Add_Plugins" and "Views"). Finally i go through whole installation process without errors and making a clean installation (no starter kits selected).

No matter what browser i use Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE, ... i always get the following error when loading umbraco login page:

/umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Authentication/IsAuthenticated 404 (Bad Request)

And after login successfully:

The user object is invalid, the remainingAuthSeconds is required. angular.min.js(63)

Hey Ivan,

I've never used Websitepanel, but have you tried to create a website directly via IIS? It's a long shot, but I had an experience when Plesk messed with permissions and reset them from time to time.

Hi Zakhar,

As you suggested, i tried to install Umbraco 7 creating a new website directly via IIS.

Same results ...

Do you have full access to the server you are trying to install? Are you sure Websitepanel doesn't mess/lock anything on your website? Have you tried to install on a different machine and if that works copy the website folder on your server?

Hi Zakhar,

It's quite weird because I have never had problems with previous Umbraco versions (4.X, 6.X) and Websitepanel. It's just Umbraco 7.

I have full access to the server where i usually deploy Umbraco solutions. I have tried installing Umbraco 7 locally (Windows 7) and then move it to production server but still got same problems.

 

If i call http://mysite.com/umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Authentication/GetCurrentUser i get the following data:

)]}',
{"Email":"[email protected]","Culture":"en-GB","EmailHash":"5ab892085cdb448c088633adfa9fd1fe","UserType":"admin","SecondsUntilTimeout":1167.5208,"AllowedSections":["content","developer","media","member","settings","users"],"UserId":0,"Name":"admin"}

May be malformed?

I still got the same error despite the fact that i have logged in correctly:

The user object is invalid, the remainingAuthSeconds is required.

Locally, Windows 7 Home Edition, Umbraco 7 works correctly and calling http://localhost/umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Authentication/GetCurrentUser i get the following data: 

)]}',
{"email":"[email protected]","locale":"en-GB","emailHash":"5ab892085cdb448c088633adfa9fd1fe","userType":"admin","remainingAuthSeconds":1101.1718203,"allowedSections":["content","developer","media","member","settings","users"],"id":0,"name":"admin"}

In this case, the view returns "remainingAuthSeconds":1101.1718203, so Umbraco 7 Backend works as expected but in Windows 2008 R2 production server it returns "SecondsUntilTimeout":1167.5208, instead of "remainningAuthSeconds" value.

Could it be related to System date/time configuration? My server runs spanish OS version by default setting UTC+1 (Madrid).

Hi 

I have had a lot of trouble with this also (7.0.2 and 7.1) ... spend somehours trouble shooting, and I think I found the issue! If Helicon Ape (http://www.helicontech.com/ape/) is installed at server/IIS, something makes umbraco 7 break... I tried installing / uninstalling three times just make sure...!

 

Ulrich Ebsen

Hi Ulrich!

I have Helicon Ape installed too. Tried disabling Helicon Ape for Umbraco 7 domain but still got same errors. Did you manage to solve it with Helicon Ape installed?

Ivan

Hi Ivan

I tried that also - you have to completely remove Helcon Ape.. and that really sucks.. :-/

Ulrich

Oops! I can't remove Helicon Ape from server (several php sites running). Hope Umbraco team can find a solution soon ;-)

I'm in the excact same situation.. :-/

Same here. Shared web hosting, so I cannot remove anything, using 7.0.4. Also two issues concerning this behaviour have been registered:

• http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-4540
• http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-4509

I'm deploying a website with Umbraco 7.1.6 to a provider with HELICON APE service.
Unfortunatelly I have the issue.

There are someone with the same experience?

How can I solve it?

is working on a reply...
