Hi everybody,

I have a problem with a Cassini Server I use in a .NET application.
If I don't run application as Administrator, Cassini server doesn't start, with the following error :

Error : Need to run as administrator/elevated to test whether HttpListener can listen to "http://*:8081/".

I start Cassini server like that :

_appEntry = Metabase.GetWebAppEntry(_appGuid);
_appEntry.AppType = ApplicationType.AspNetOrStaticHtml;
_appEntry.ApplicationName = "WBTManagerOffline";
_appEntry.ApplicationDescription = "";
_appEntry.PhysicalDirectory = _appPath;
_appEntry.DefaultDocument = "default.aspx";
_appEntry.VirtualDirectory = "/";
_appEntry.ListenAddresses.Clear();
//ListenAddress listenAddress = new ListenAddress((ushort)_appPort);
ListenAddress listenAddress = new ListenAddress("http://localhost:"+_appPort.ToString()+"/");
_appEntry.ListenAddresses.Add(listenAddress);
//Metabase.RegisterApplication(RuntimeVersion.AspNet_1_2or3x, true, true, ProcessIdentity.LocalSystem, _appEntry);
//Metabase.RegisterApplication(RuntimeVersion.AspNet_1_2or3x, true, true, ProcessIdentity.NetworkService, _appEntry);
Metabase.RegisterApplication(RuntimeVersion.AspNet_4, true, true, ProcessIdentity.NetworkService, _appEntry);
return (Metabase.WaitForAppToStart(_appGuid, nLoadDelay));

Should I do something to launch this without aving administrator rights ???

Thanks a lot,
Corentin

My application has to be installed on multiple stations in a "learning room" and then to be launched by students to access html local contents. It could also be installed by administrators on the student's computer.
If installation will be made by users with administration rights, it is not the case of the students. So, if I can't run the server without admin rights ... I can't run my application.

Hello, i encountred the same problem as XPTCorentin,
i would like to know if we can work arround this by adding a reserved url
suc as:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8080/ user=Everyone

However, i have some doubts about user value and would to know if it is possible to set "ASP 4.0 app"

any suggestion please? it's an emergency case.. :(

Hello,
Thanks for your answer,

Could you please give me more details about this suggestions "installation time is the best time to install the UWS and register your web application at the same time."

Actually i generate the installable using ".nsi" file with NSIS,

my package contains:
simple application: includes UWS.dll, parameters (url web site, language, port number) where the registration of my webApplication is doing via UWS Configuration .NET API

WebApplication: the website a want to register and host on cassini server

How could i "replace" the registration witch happens DURONG THE EXECUTION VIA THE API (after installation)..by Registration DURING INSTALLATION? (i use .nsi file)

It seems that is working on my computer, i effectively used ExecWait 'msiexec /passive /i $INSTDIR\UltiDev.WebServer.msi'as prerecquisite on .nsi file
also, i have used the latest ltiDev.WebServer.msi

Thanks!

Today i tried to install it on another computer , it doesnt start without administrator provileges...
do you see something wrong, how to explain that it works on my machine ans not on the other....
may be the other machine has already UltiDev.WebServer installed and it's not the newest version.

..By the way, what do you mean by "UWS MSI package unbroken"?

in the other machine, when launching with "non administrator privilege" i have these exceptions:


While Error 5. HttpDeleteServiceConfiguration (URLACL) failed.: LastError = 0 (0x0)

while Error 5. HttpDeleteServiceConfiguration (URLACL) failed.: LastError = 0 (0x0)

Ihave already thought about SystemUtilites.AclFolder()

Hi,

in my NSI file i have:

RequestExecutionLevel admin

ExecWait 'msiexec /passive /i $INSTDIR\UltiDev.WebServer.msi'

and the installation step is done with administrator level

After the installation (witch is done with administrator privileges), the execution of the resulted .exe doesnt register the application ,

what i want is how launch "exe" (after admin installation), without admin privileges,

Also, i saw that the function "UWS.Configuration.Metabase.RegisterApplication" requires administrator privileges and we can alternatively, use SystemUtilites.AclFolder() methods to grant Network Service user access to small subset of the app folders

i tried : SystemUtilites.AclFolder(_appPath, System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemRights.Modify, System.Security.Principal.WellKnownSidType.NetworkServiceSid);
Metabase.RegisterApplication(RuntimeVersion.AspNet_4, true, true, ProcessIdentity.NetworkService, _appEntry);

Could you please tell me if there is something wrong..? it's not about UltiDev.WebServer.msi or MSIEXEC.EXE but the final exe witch is resulted from the NSIS installation (this installation is donne with admin privilege of cours)


Thanks

Hello,

-Effectively, the installation of UWS is done in the same time with installation of my application,
but it was not the case for registration , witch is done after the installation and when the application is executed.

-Now, i did a correction:
On NSIS file, i have added registration:
;Install UWS
ExecWait 'msiexec /a "$INSTDIR\UltiDev.WebServer.msi"'
;Register application
ExecWait '"$PROGRAMFILES\UltiDev\Web Server\UWS.RegApp.exe" /r /AppId={2af8ee75-5d3a-42d4-9072-dfbd4526dfb9} /path:"$INSTDIR\web" /ddoc:default.aspx /appname:"TestApplication" /clr:4 /vpath:"/"'

i'm testing.
i will keep you in touch,
thanks!

Perfect, it's resolved, because i had to force from 32bits to 64 bits :)
FORCE32BITON64:true

Thanks.
