Opening on browser gets empty page

Hi guys after reinstalling continua I've opened the browser and pointed to the address localhost:8080 thats where its installed.

So first time it showed the status, installing, migrating, etc. After that it just redirects to a blank page.

Now even after restart pc its always blank.

The event log doesnt shows anything, just service started sucessfully.

Any tips ?

Hi Diego,
This sounds like an authentication problem. Are you using LDAP or Forms authentication? (Forms is the default).

If you’re using LDAP, check out this link: http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/display/continua/IIS+and+LDAP

If you’re using Forms then make sure you Enabled Anonymous Authentication for the Continua CI website in the IIS Manager.

Let us know how you get along.

Hi Vinnie,

Its using Forms authentication and Anonymous authentication is Enabled, I’ve checked the iis log no errors is reported. Windows event log doesnt have errors either.

It seens that Continua is eating some exception …

The strange thing is that first time I’ve opened it shows the instalation progress but after that it redirects to the blank page an after that is always blank.

Maybe you can instruct me where to see other kind of log, or build an version that doesnt eat the exceptions so we can see what is happening.

It’s more likely to be a configuration problem rather than something going wrong. It’s probably behaving like it should even though it’s not very helpful when it comes to resolving the issue. Have you made any modifications to your C:\Program Files\VSoft Technologies\ContinuaCI\Web\Web.config. If you find a Web.config.new in the same directory as Web.config then there’s probably a difference between the two or something has changed. The default has forms authentication so it’s probably worth switching your web.config to the default and seeing what happens.

Alternatively, you might have a configuration setup we haven’t tested with before. What operating system are you running? 32/64 bit. What version of IIS, etc… Also, after typing in the URL, does it redirect you straight away to another URL?

No modification was done. My system is a core i7 64bit using windows 7 home premium with IIS 7.5.7600.16385.

It doesnt redirects just shows the page empty, I’ve disabled IIS to see if it was working, as i expect the iis wasnt available so the it doesnt get the empty page. After that I’ve start iis again and same problem …

I’ve seen that this web.config.new exists, I’ve renamed to the default one and it didnt change anything, same problem :confused:

Are you able to check if ASP.NET is installed?
From the Control Panel, click Programs and Features then click “Turn Windows features on or off”
Expand Internet Information Services
Then World Wide Web Services
Then Application Development Features
Then check the tick in the box next to ASP.NET.

Also, can you confirm the Continua Server Service is in the list installed Services?

Yap its installed as I develop apps in asp.net to.

Maybe this its not finding some assembly or its using the wrong version.

All continua services are running: continua server, continua agent, continua ssh and continua postgresql.

I will try to uninstall everything again and install it using the default site.
