Please check your Web Server Base Folder URL!

SamLevy — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 20:11:53 GMT

I have been getting the above message in the Settings page, a problem that has not allowed me to progress any further than the Settings page. I am using

ArcGis Viewer for Flex version 3.0
Windows XP
IIS 7.0

I'm currently trying to just save it under the default file directory. If you need any more information than this, just ask me (although please ask as simply as possible because I am obviously not well versed in this field). Thanks in advance.

I've seen that thread and it didn't help. Thanks though.

Is your IIS working correctly?

If you put in http://localhost/ (on your server machine) or http://yourserver.name/ in your browser, what do you get?

If you don't get the IIS7 splash page, something is amiss with your IIS.

and when you say the default file directory, do you mean C:\inetpub\wwwroot\yourflexappname as C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ is IIS7's default ?
And, are you positive you have write access to that folder?

I get a blank page. I am assuming that means there is something wrong, but I don't know what it could be. I have already enabled IIS in "Add/Remove Windows Components."

I'm not certain that I have write access to that folder, although I do think I do. If you could tell me how to be sure and (if I end up not having that access) how to get access I would be pretty grateful.

I am not running on XP, so would have to install to test that, but once enabled, have you went to "Control Panel", "Administrative Tools", "Internet Information Services" and made sure it is set up/turned on? (like I said, will have to play with that later as I'm not sure the steps here).

As far as write access, can you make a folder/file and then delete it in the default folder? That is how I normally check for write access.

I am sure that I do have write access.

I am unsure, but I think I have IIS set up. Whether it is done right I couldn't even begin to guess. I included a jpg of what the IIS screen looks like. Hopefully that will begin to supply you with the information you need to help me out. Again, thanks for the help.

I see your IIS is stopped, and shows some error. What happens if you right-click on Default Web Site and say "Start"?
