I've got several vintages of historical imagery that I would love to make available online, but I am not terribly happy with any of the options available through the current AGOL / WAB offerings. It seems like there are tools that dance all around what I want, but nothing quite like this: City of Surrey Historical Imagery Viewer I love the idea of being able to zoom in any area in the map and then easily switch back and forth between years. I took a stab at doing a swipe tool map, but it required so many set up steps for the user (turn on one layer, pick a base map, set up the slider tool) that I didn't think people would like it. I suppose I could just set up all of my historical imagery as basemaps and people could flip through all of the options. Just wondering if anyone out there had a more elegant solution?

We’re using IIS, but the entire frontend is configured for SSL. Even if we configure as http on the backend, the URL has to use HTTPS to get through the front end. The long-term plan has always been to move us off of the email server, but since it hasn’t been an issue until now, the project has been pushed in favor of more urgent issues.

Just got done meeting with IT to get a crash course in our reverse proxy setup. Long story short, the web server is https because it also hosts our web client for the county email system. However, when calls to our website hit the reverse proxy, the website is immediately converted to http. So, we have to enter https because that's what the server is expecting, but there is no certificate validation for our websites. We're just using the web server as a DMZ to protect the GIS server from attack. I asked if we can convert the reverse proxy to https, and that's not an option. So ... is there a location in the widget code that I could hard-code the web link to https?

What directory needs to be added to the proxy rules? Must be the arcgisserver\directories folder?

I am getting so close to having my print templates working, but I am once again foiled by my organization's web proxy. I successfully repointed my print widget in WAB Developer edition to use the print service hosted on my server, and it generates the map from my internal templates. However, when I click to open the map, the s in https is not passing through and the user gets a "You do not have permission to view this directory or page" message. Can someone point me toward a solution? I assume I can just tweak something in the code.

Finally figured it out when I went back into the widget. The default print service was going to ArcGIS Online, not the print service on my organization's server. Once I repointed it to my server's print service, the templates appeared!

That's what I think, too, but it's the default service that Esri provides out of the box and I don't know where it lives. I was hoping to republish it yesterday by doing an overwrite, but I can't find anything to overwrite.

OK, so I was definitely in the wrong folder! Sadly, I made the changes there, restarted ArcGIS Server, and the old layouts are still there.

No luck on that method, unless I'm editing the wrong MXDs. I've updated the ones in C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.4\Templates\ExportWebMapTemplates and restarted ArcGIS Server, but there's no change online. That folder is not registered in my Data Store, which makes me wonder if I'm just in the wrong place.

Rather than publish my own custom print templates, I just want to make some minor tweaks to the default and republish them. I went through the Publishing additional services for printing tutorial and got to step 13. I chose the option to overwrite an existing service with the plan of overwriting the service that my web maps are currently using. However, there is no service (as near as I can tell) in the group of services that I have running on my server. Is it possible to overwrite the default print service? Or do I have to make my own and redirect the web app to pull from that folder?

That is my experience today as well. I even tried recaching an entire layer and then running the Manage Map Server Cache Status tool, but never could get any of the levels back to 100%. Very frustrating.

I'm running 10.4.1 and have run into this problem a few times. I still haven't pinned down the root cause, but here's what I observed this morning. When I tried to delete/rename the Status.gdb, I couldn't because the server had locks on the database. When I opened Task Manager and looked at the Performance tab, the CPU was running around 45%. I ended up stopping/starting the ArcGIS Server service and then checking to make sure all of my services restarted properly. That killed the lock, which allowed me to delete the Status.gdb. I'm running the Manage Map Server Cache Status tool right now and it appears to be working. My guess is that "something" happened while the cache was cooking on the service that was having issues and it ended up with a runaway process that I couldn't identify. This workflow resolved my issue.

This error took me a while to resolve, so I thought I'd throw it out as a discussion item so that anyone else with the issue had a resource. The message occurred when I was trying to publish a survey from Survey123 Connect. Here's a screenshot: As it turned out, I was using EDITOR as a name for one of my fields. That isn't in the list of reserved keywords, but when you try to publish, it will generate this message. Took me a while to troubleshoot, but renaming it EDITOR_1 fixed the problem. If you encounter other error messages and their solutions, feel free to add on to the discussion!

In an amusing twist, the problem was indeed related to proxies -- just not the WAB kind. IT had to add the new site to a reverse proxy rule on a different server to make the link available. Website is working fine now, but will be taken offline until we're ready for the "soft launch." Robert, I am once again grateful for your assistance!

Correct. I have three applications in the wwwroot folder - there is a propertymap folder, a mapgallery folder, and now the propertyviewerupgradetesting folder.
