Error installing on Umbraco 7

Hi Stefan,

I was delighted to see 301 URL Tracker now supports Umbraco 7 - however when I try to install it the installer fails with a missing file error:

The file '/Umbraco/UrlTracker/InfoCaster.Umbraco.UrlTracker.UI.Installer.UrlTrackerInstaller.ascx' does not exist.

Following this 301 URL Tracker is listed as installed in the packages tree, the DLLs are in place but that's about it - the database table isn't created and I can't see any configuration changes.

I'm installing on a more-or-less virgin site - Umbraco v7.01, SQL Server 2008 Express, IIS Express. The only other package installed at the moment is uBlogsy 4.0.

Full stack trace:

[HttpException (0x80004005): The file '/Umbraco/UrlTracker/InfoCaster.Umbraco.UrlTracker.UI.Installer.UrlTrackerInstaller.ascx' does not exist.]

Well I just tried with a clean umbraco v7.0.2 on IIS and SQL Server; it's working fine for me...?

I'm having the exact same error. Managed to install this perfectly on a local version of Umbraco, but when I try to install on my UAT version on a IIS7 server I get the above error.

Hi,

I appear to be having this exact error - did we happen to find a fix?

Installing on 6.2.1 that's just been upgraded from 6.0.4.

Greg.

Geoff, Tom,

I don't suppose your home directory is a UNC file share, is it?

Hi Greg,

No - in my case, the site was running on a local PC, local C: drive under IIS Express (ie. a bog standard dev environment).

I've since installed 301 URL Tracker on other v7 sites without a problem, and have no idea what was different about this one.

Hmm, it's got me stumped - I don't know why it has a type where the file name should be. I managed to install it on a local copy of the site, but it fails on the web server.

@gfyans

I don't know why it has a type where the file name should be

Because it's a virtual path (embedded resources).
'/Umbraco/UrlTracker/' is the part which identifies my own Virtual Path Provider.
'InfoCaster.Umbraco.UrlTracker.UI.Installer.UrlTrackerInstaller.ascx' is the name of the embedded resource I'm loading.

No I don't have a clue unfortunately.
It's definitely an environment issue; some experience this, some don't.

Hi,

So I've been playing with it a bit more and there's definitely something funky going on when the files are hosted on a UNC share.

I copied the website from the file server to the web server and everything installed and worked perfectly. I then copied it back to the file server and I'm now getting an error in the back office. Not the same error, but an "Object reference not set..." on line 162 of UrlTrackerManager.aspx.cs. Which is odd. It can load the usercontrol, but it can't find a drop down list server control?!

I'll keep testing various things...

Greg.

I found this issue when working on a 7.1.9 Umbraco install
- trying to install the package on Azure website (postintall step failed)
- deploying a website containing an installed copy (incl database tables) and trying to open the admin panel....
Seems the embedded resource is unavailable when in the Azure environment.

Aside from the adminpanel or postinstall screen being unavailable, I can see that the rewrites are correctly saved to the database:

However the redirects themselves don't trigger. I just get a 404 message for any old URL from the table in the screenshot.

I have another website in Azure with 7.3.0 beta3 on it, where i installed it on local IIS and then later moved to azure. For this website the admin panel does work & changes are stored to db, however the rewrites are not executed?

I'm having the same problem. Neither the file or the folder exist. The only things in the downloaded zip file are the dll and pdb.

Personally, I just abandoned the project and did the rewrites manually. Which was like 300 pages.

I was never able to reproduce this, must be some environment specific issue.

This could very well be the case for me; we have a very complex setup.

Did anyone find what was the issue?

I get error on install screen and on the content dashboard.

Install screen error is: The file '/Umbraco/UrlTracker/InfoCaster.Umbraco.UrlTracker.UI.Installer.UrlTrackerInstaller.ascx' does not exist.

I tried full permissions also for administrator, user, IIS_USER and no joy.
