Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Locators
« on: November 12, 2008, 12:21:51 PM »
Anthony,
I just started having the same problem since the 4.31.18 update. The locator only shows if you click on a column header. Also, "Table Blank until Locator entered" function is useless now as by definition no table = no column headers so no ability to get the locator to show.

Hi Bruce,
This appears to be one of those “sometimes things aren’t what they seem” problems. I started to wonder if my problem was strictly a cookie issue when your suggestion to combine the two sites using NetTalk under port 80 failed. While driving down the road (where I do my best coding!), I had more doubts. The port 80 solution should’ve worked and others weren’t reporting related problems. Then I saw your reply stating you hadn’t updated the cookie routines since before I started having problems. That made me re-examine things.
I first noticed this problem about a month after installing 4.27 when I attempted to install some changes on the web server. I recall the 4.27 update trashing my template registry. I fixed the registry and reinstalled the update but have had this problem ever since.
Today, I compiled your example #1 and put that on the web server temporarily. It worked fine and IE exchanged cookies. So, it wasn’t a “site in a site” problem and if a cookie problem it was something within my app. I spent some time copying my app into a new app. I’m not done but testing shows the initial browses that were failing now working. So, the likely problem is that I opened my app with the registry trashed and that somehow screwed something up. I appreciate your response. It put things on the right track.
If possible a warning or error routine to your updates so that the registry doesn’t get trashed would be nice. I also seem to recall Mark Goldberg or someone mentioning a routine that threw up a message. I’ll have to look into it.
Thanks again,
Mark

Thanks Bruce, your response is clear but I still have a couple of questions.
First, I stopped the IIS service on the web server and changed the NetTalk app to run on port 80 but IE still had the cookie problem. It would only work if I manually told it to allow cookies from the web server’s IP address. Based on what you indicated, I would’ve expected this to work? I got our domain name through Go Daddy and they are using their name servers to point to our in-house web server. There may be some masking or forwarding there that’s screwing things up but it seems fairly straight forward.
Second, old versions of the app compiled using 4.26 or 27(?) and earlier work fine in our current configuration. I would expect that those early versions would have the problem if it’s strictly a site within a site issue.
Lastly, I couldn’t get the http://www.mysite.com:88 idea to work. My links on the static pages are on the order of your http://64.12.3.23:88 example. The second part of that says to try it using a sub-domain. Is there anything within NetTalk that needs changing to try that (similar to changing the port#) or is it all an external server setting?
Thanks

Web Server - Ask For Help / Cookies and compact privacy settings for IE

I’m having trouble with cookies and privacy settings. I have a web server running IIS on port 80 serving various static pages. Some of those pages link to a net talk web server app running on port 88 on the same machine. Ever since version 4.29, IE has issues accepting cookies with the default (medium) settings. Firefox and other browsers work fine. Unfortunately most of my traffic uses IE and is computer illiterate. So, how do I convince IE my site’s cookies are safe? I have a privacy policy in the Web\W3D folder and IE finds that ok. I’ve tried various ways off passing a compact policy as part of a header or within a cookie but can’t seem to get it right. Does anyone have an example or know how to handle this?
