[mapguide-users] MapGuide Server mysteriously dies Revisited

Fri Sep 15 14:10:45 EDT 2006

I think you can safely remove those and they will rebuild the first time the
web extensions are accessed.  The problem for me was have an entry in my
path that pointed to one of the locations that had old .dll's, so I would
focus on that.  Otherwise, other people have reported that they get similar
symptoms if they do not have an active network connection.  Have you tried
restarting the MapGuide service?

I've got backup directory inside mapguideopensource and in that directory
there's a lot ?mapguide?.dll. I delete backups (removed on DVD). I couldn't
find any php entry in enviroment. Hope so that this be enough.

One question, I found a lot's mapguide dll's in
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET
Files\dotnetviewersample\...... Should I delete these files and leave the
newest one?

Thnx for answer.

Yes, I finally tracked it down to a MapGuide dll conflict in old versions of
PHP I still had installed.  MapGuide decided to start trying to use those
versions instead........ So, removing the old PHP installs and the paths
from the path environment variable did the trick.  Here is the entire
discussion I ended up having offline with Trevor from Autodesk.

--------------------------------

Thanks for the lead Trevor, I got it fixed.  I first removed the dll's from
the .NET GAC.  I then discovered that I had some old MapGuide dll's in an
old unused PHP folder and that the PHP folder was in the system path.  Once
I removed that from the path, all seems to be OK now.  I'm not sure why the
install initially worked and then stopped, but it does appear to be have
been a dll hell issue.  I will keep a much closer eye on the dll's from now
on.

Thanks again.

Hi Andy,

I'm at a bit of a loss on this one.  Can you also do a search on the machine
to see if Windows has copied the dll's anywhere?  I'm wondering if there's
some .Net GAC stuff going on.  Also, is there a firewall / virus checker on
the machine?  I've heard some spurious reports of certain versions of Norton
Antivirus blocking traffic on ports 2800-2802.

Thanks,

Trevor

Hi Trevor,

Do you have any more ideas on things to look at?  I am avoiding uninstalling
and reinstalling the web extensions (which I'm certain will fix the problem
as it did the last time this happened) in the hopes that we can figure out
what is going awry since this has happened more than once.

Thanks very much.

Andy

I tried disabling the ASP file cache - no change.  Here is the result of the
checksum.  It looks the same as yours as far as I can tell.

Hi Andy,

Here's something else to try.  Under the mapviewernet virtual directory, try
disabling the ASP file cache.

Ok.  Just want to rule out dll corruption.  Can you run a checksum on the
files in C:\Program
Files\Autodesk\MapGuideEnterprise2007\WebServerExtensions\www\mapviewernet\b
in?  I generated the following md5 sums from a clean install of 17804.

There are some free md5 sum routines listed on the OpenOffice.org site if
you need one for Windows

After restarting IIS, the error message is back to the original "cannot
establish connection" one.  I've tried stopping and starting WW services,
MapGuide, rebooted several times, etc. all to no avail.

This is getting even stranger.  Almost sounds like corruption of the .Net
assemblies.  Does stopping and restarting IIS help?

Yes, everything works except the AJAX and DWF viewers.  Layer and map
previews obviously don't work in Studio either.   No, I have not touched
webconfig.ini and the SitConnectionProperties shows IpAddress=127.0.0.1 and
Port=2802.  

I just tried to open a web layout and got this new message:

Type 'OSGeo.MapGuide.MgConnectionFailedException' in Assembly
'MapGuideDotNetApi, Version=1.0.0.17804, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=null' is not marked as serializable.

Ok.  So you only get the cannot establish connection error when using the
Ajax Viewer?  If all the mapagent tests and WMS requests work then the
viewers should be working as well.  Very strange.  Were their any changes
made to webconfig.ini, or it is still pointing at 127.0.0.1?

Yes, server admin works, all mapagent tests work, and all WMS requests work.

Hi Andy,

Does the MapGuide Server Admin still work when you get the Cannot establish
connection error?  

Thanks,

Trevor,

Can you help Andy please? I can't see his solution of reinstalling being
needed at all.

Thanks,

As happened to me a couple of weeks ago and detailed in this thread:
<blocked::http://www.nabble.com/MapGuide-Enterprise-mysteriously-dies-tf2007
393.html>
http://www.nabble.com/MapGuide-Enterprise-mysteriously-dies-tf2007393.html,
the web extensions have again stopped communicating with the mgserver.  This
is on my development Windows XP laptop and I was traveling for the last
week.  During these travels, I hooked up to various networks and obtained
dynamic IP addresses.  Back in the office, I believe I have renewed the same
IP I had when MapGuide was installed, but don't know for sure.  I have
rebooted, restarted the license server, the web server, the mapguide
service, etc. but I still get the below message. 

Cannot establish connection. Exception occurred in method
MgServerConnection.Open at line 94 in file
c:\build_tux_area\mgdev\common\service\services\ServerConnection.cpp 

It was after traveling that the problem occurred the first time.  So, I am
confident that I can fix the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling the
web extensions (a repair won't work), but that's a bit of a PITA.   Any
suggestions on how I can fix this without a reinstall would be appreciated.

Thanks.
