Act premium 2010 for Web

[addison99]

Hi

I have recently installed Act Premium 2010 for web, and I am not able to access the database remotely using a web interface, the same applies if I try and access the web bases version locally.

Before I installed Act on the server I spoke to Sage Tech Support, I was told just to install the Act for web on the server.

Accessing the server remotely I type https://MY IP/apfw the message I get is File or directory not found

The I accesss the web version in the office I get

HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Detailed Error Information

We are running on a SBS2008 server machine.

Is anybody able to offer any advice

Kind regards

There is quite a bit more than just "installing it on a server"

1)  on the server, make sure the local web page is displaying http://localhost/  should display a local static web page

2) if this works, see if ACT for Web is operating correctly  http://localhost/APFW

3) if this works, try within the office  http://machinename/APFW

4) If this works from outside the office http://yourwebaddress/APFW

There are detailed instruction at each stage if it's not working.  At which stage are you?

1) this gives me the IIS page

2) i get this

Server Error in '/APFW' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could not load file or assembly 'EastAsianDll' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

3) the same as above

Am I using HTTP rather than https

Hello Leonard,

In regards to the APFW error you are receiving, please see the following Knowledgebase article:

Error: Could not load file or assembly 'EastAsianDll' or one of its dependencies..." When Attempting...

I have some what similar problem, but was able to fix those with no-ip. The problem was my ip address is not static.

Though I do have another problem... I am able to get to the log on page from the web, but in the database field - it's blank... Unable to select the database to log on...

Any ideas?

Hi

I'm using ACT Premium 2010 for Web. I can connect to the Web Interface over the internet but the problem is that when i click on the Contacts Tab i receive Error 404. Please consult me

Hello Jackal,

Welcome to the ACT! Online Community!

Your description leads me to believe you have upgraded Internet Explorer to IE9.  IE9 is not a supported browser for ACT! web access and will produce the 404 message when clicking on a 'Detail' view.  To resolve this will require reverting back to IE8. 

FYI: Firefox 4 is not a supported browser at this time.

Thanks dear moderator

As you mentioned the problem was with IE9.

So what if stage (3) works but stage (4) doesn't? i.e. I can access WebACT from the local host but not across the network?

Hello Rusnewton,

Welcome to the ACT! Community!

If 3 works, and 4 doesn't - it shows that the installation has successfully set up, but the external access (web address/Ip address) is not routing correctly.  Verify your IP address (if using IP vs URL) and check your router.
