OK, After much help and support from Geoff, i decided to do a complete re- install from scratch.
I re-created the IIS config. I dropped the old db and recreated a new one ready for the install. Downloaded a fresh copy of FC. and ran the installer. The installer seemed to install everything without any errors this time. Ah i thought, this is looking good. So i decided to hit the admim pages. I now get the login pages, as before, but this time i use farcy,farcy and i manage to login, as i got up off the floor after passing out in complete amazement i thought OK this is looking a lot lot better. I updated the profile that saved fine. The overview screen seems to load OK Went to the Site tab and hey presto get an error in the lefthand nav page: It says: Element NAVID.HOME is undefined in APPLICATION Any ideas why this has occurred and what i need to do to fix this. thank you for your continueing support jedi On 6 Dec, 13:43, "Redding, Ian (NIH/NIEHS) [C]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That's all great what Geoff is saying. > But I got pass this issue & posted what I did. > I can try & find my notes if u have not got passed the login. > You can try putting a diff user & paswrd in the DB & see if it lets u > in. > > Ian Redding > NTP Website System Administrator (http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov) > Contractor - INDUS Corp (www.induscorp.com) > E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 919-541-0642 > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: modius [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2007 6:14 PM > To: farcry-dev > Subject: [farcry-dev] Re: v4.09 Oracle 10g CF8 install problems > > On Dec 4, 9:38 pm, Jedi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This allowed for the login page to load but when i enter farcry,farcry > > it just bounces back to the login page without any errors. > > Basically when you attempt to hit a secured area of the FarCry webtop > security goes through the following process: > - does the user have permission to be here? > - if the user does not have the appropriate permission, logout and > redirect to login page > > This is a failsafe -- in other words if you trigger this response its > likely because you are not supposed to be there or that your session > has expired. > > If there is no error shown in the login box this almost invariably > means that your authentication was successful, ie you logged in, but > your permissions were lacking even the most basic "access to webtop" > permission and so you're being unceremoniously logged out. > > dmSec is the moniker for the security sub-system -- it is not a > reference to a specific table in the database. dmSec tables all use > identity fields unlike the rest of FarCry which uses UUIDs.
