I created a new module by following the testimonials example in the SDK. But, it won't install. There are no error messages to help direct me in a certain direction.
I've fired up the project in debug mode setting a break point on the install method, but it never gits hit.
Anyone know why that would be?
Thanks,
Jacques
If it's not installing it might not be properly registered in the system. What version of Sitefinity is this? If one of the more recent ones there is a section under Administration > Modules where you can install the module. Otherwise you need to do it in the Administration > Settings > Advanced > System > Application Modules and create a new entry there manually
Either way, make sure that the full name of your module is correct (including the namespace) as the Type, and that the startupType is set to "OnApplicationStart" so it initializes when the website starts.
Then force your website to restart (easiest way is to just save the web.config file) and it should fire up.
I hope this is helpful!
If you have done all this and it's still not firing, can you tell me if the module is listed in the systemConfig.Config file under app_data folder?

I'm an experienced (ASP.NET|Java|PHP|web) developer, new to DotNetNuke.
Currently I'm following a blog tutorial to try to get an Angular module up-and-running in my local installation of DNN 7 (http://www.bitboxx.net/Blog/Post/505/DNN-module-development-with-AngularJS-Part-1#)
My environment: Windows 2012 Server R2, SQL Server 2016 Express, Visual Studio 2015 and DNN 7 on IIS 8.
DNN nuke runs fine.
I installed the downloaded module from the blog to my DNN. I'm having problems to run the HelloWorld example (at the bottom of the 2nd part of the course).
Through some trial-and-error I found out this has to do with the [SupportedModules] attribute on the controller.
Without this attribute it runs fine, but with the attribute it won't.
How does DNN determine the name of the module? The "installation" process was no more then unzipping the modules contents to the DesktopModules directory within my DNN directory (in inetput\wwwroot).
Do I need to install/configure the modules in Settings > Extensions?
Or am I missing some other point with regards to the DNN 7's security?
Thanks in advance for any help/thoughts!
Yes, you need to install the module through the Extensions mechanism in DNN. This will register the module so DNN is aware of the module as well as make sure the files get copied to the right places, in accordance with the installation manifest (the .dnn file you should find inside that .zip file)
However, looking at the blog article you referenced, I don't see an actual installation zip file anywhere. The only download I found was for the project as a whole. You would need to package your compiled solution into an installable zip file (with a .dnn manifest file) or you need to manually register your extension from the Extensions page.
On that page you should click the "Create New Extension" button which will walk you through supplying details for the module. Choose Module as the Extension Type
Only a few of the items are required. The "Name" you use for the module will be the name you use in SupportedModules. It will also default your folder name (the folder in /DesktopModules) to the module name. Friendly Name, incidentally, is what will be displayed in menus and such.
Once you've created the module it should be registered with DNN. You will probably need to restart your AppPool and website for the change to take effect.
FYI, SupportedModules isn't strictly required. If you're building this for a client and not building this for distribution.
Hope this helps.
Despite a successful build, no modules will load. The Browse menu is empty (except for Assets) and custom modules in the Configuration menu are missing.
After downloading the most recent build from our repository, I followed all steps in the "Source Code Getting Started" page. It has been a few months since looking at the VC documentation, and it looks like it has been updated. I recall an extra step after creating the Assets virtual folder in IIS that isn't there now. Is there perhaps a step here that is missing since the docs update?
Fwiw, the build deployed in our QA environment is fine. This is the same code, but I am trying to run locally and am having no luck with modules.
Virtual folder for Modules is optional in IIS and this step was skipped in the updated docs. But adjusting permissions in needed: "Open properties for vc-platform\VirtoCommerce.Platform.Web\Modules (create this folder if not exsist) folder and give permission Modify to IIS_IUSRS user group as shown above."
About a week ago I installed golang successfully on my computer and got it's terminal commands to process. So by that, I know go is on my computer.
I have been looking for a good IDE and found https://code.google.com/p/liteide/ LiteIDE which was made specifically for Go.
I read that if you already had go installed on your computer then you could use LiteIDE to start building your code right away. I must have read something wrong some where because I cannot get my projects to build at all. I think it there may be a missing/incorrect path and or something is just setup incorrectly.
This is the error I get in the console:
Current environment change id "win64-user"
C:/go/bin/go.exe env [c:\go]

set GOBIN=
set GOCHAR=6

set TERM=dumb
set CC=gcc
set GOGCCFLAGS=-g -O2 -m64 -mthreads
set CXX=g++
set CGO_ENABLED=1
Command exited with code 0.
First_Lite_Go_Proj [C:/go/src/First Litel Go Proj]
Error: process failed to start.
I checked the C:/go directory to make everything there is correct and it was. Also I'm using 64bit windows 7 and double checked that as well.
Any ideas? Mine are: Missing/Incorrect Paths, Can't access a certain directory due to restrictions.
While I have not tested this in Windows 7, on Windows 10, these were the steps that I took to make LiteIDE work
Installed Go to C:\Go
Added C:\Go\bin to PATH and made sure go was working from Command Line
This was the most important step for me. Defined GOPATH in an environment variable. In my case, it was C:\Users\vivek\Documents\Source\Go. I also made sure that there were three folders src, pkg and bin were created in GOPATH. At this point go env was showing me correct values for GOPATH and GOROOT. go get, go build and go install was working as well at this step.
Downloaded and unzipped LiteIDE to C:\liteide. Started LiteIDE and it worked out of the box for me. Make sure that GOPATH is seen correctly by LiteIDE by going to View > Manage GOPATH
Hope this helps. Good luck.
It's not a good idea to keep your projects in the GOROOT path, which per default (when installed using the MSI installer) is C:\Go. Always keep it separated from there. It also helps to avoid issues with updates.
Since Go projects are made up of packages which are organized in directory structures it is important to follow a few rules and keep the working space for your Go projects separated and clean.
In my opinion its best practice to create ONE working directory as the root for ALL your Go projects somewhere in your user space and stick to it.
One way to do this is to create a directory like "work" and set the environment variable GOPATH to it (e.g. C:\Users\Peter\Documents\work). Make sure to relog or restart your computer after your changes.
Upon certain operations Go will automatically create the directories bin, pkg and src below your GOPATH.
src contains your created or downloaded Go source files,
pkg contains your installed package objects, and
bin contains your installed executable files.
bin or pkg will automatically be created when you use the go install command to install a binary executable or a package. It's important to understand that these are files that are not part of the Go installation.
src, if it does not yet exist, will automatically be created the first time you issue a go get command or in case of LiteIDE, the first time you create a new Go1 Command Project or Go1 Package Project. Watch the "Location:" field on the dialog box, it should include your path defined in GOPATH followed by \src (e.g. C:\Users\Peter\Documents\work\src).
In the name field enter the path you want to use for your project. If you plan to track the development of your project on Github (or other repo) it's common practice to include the path to the Git repo in your source path (e.g. github.com/petergloor/hello-go).
Of course you can use any other structure to organize your projects as long you make sure they fall below the src directory in your GOPATH.
For more information about Go workspaces read https://golang.org/doc/code.html#Workspaces.
A final note about the GOROOT environment variable. Dont explicitly set this if you install Go in C:\Go. It's enough to include C:\Go\bin in your path and to set GOPATH. GOROOT is only needed in case Go is installed at another location.
I also had this problem first, but after completing the installation process, I succeeded.
Step 1:
Run (Ctrl+R) -> run target, request build first.
BuildAndRun(Ctrl+F7) -> build and run target
FileRun(Alt+F6) -> go run
step 2:
Check Config via this URL:
https://www.goinggo.net/2013/06/installing-go-gocode-gdb-and-liteide.html
Try setting up the GOROOT to the directory where go was installed. It worked for me.
Do you have 'Install' keyword in your project name? Try remove it.
You have to setup LiteIDE variables correctly (if there are not by default).
Please, check two options:
Go to Settings → "Manage GOPATH"
Options → LiteEnv (there are
environment definitions files). Just double click on someone and
setup Go environment variables.
I'm not sure how this works, but it worked in my case. I got this idea from this video on Youtube-Chris Hawkes
Open LiteIDE.
Click File---New.
Select "Go1 Command Project".
Browse the desired path.
Select the desired folder.
Name the folder and click Ok.
Now, you will be able to see a "main.go" file opened in the IDE.
Write whatever code you want to run in this file with correct syntax, it will run.
The only problem with this is, whenever I create another ".go" source code file in the same folder, the same error is shown. So, you might have to edit this file every time, you try to write new code.
I'm facing a problem due to the folder name "Program Files" in which my wamp is installed.
I'm using Yii Framework to create a web app.
While running a command
yiic webapp c:\Program Files\wamp\www\YiiApp
it gives error due to the white space in the folder name.
The error is as below:
C:\Program Files\wamp\www\yii-1.1.13.e9e4a0\framework>yiic webapp c:\Program Fil
es\wamp\www\YiiApp
Error: Unsupported VCS specified. Currently only git and hg supported.
USAGE
yiic webapp <app-path> [<vcs>]
DESCRIPTION
This command generates an Yii Web Application at the specified location.
PARAMETERS
* app-path: required, the directory where the new application will be created.
If the directory does not exist, it will be created. After the application
is created, please make sure the directory can be accessed by Web users.
* vcs: optional, version control system you're going to use in the new project.
Application generator will create all needed files to the specified VCS
(such as .gitignore, .gitkeep, etc.). Possible values: git, hg. Do not
use this argument if you're going to create VCS files yourself.
What should I do? Please suggest me something.
The second install will have superceeded the first. In other words Wampmanager and Apache and MySQL will be being started out of the new folder.
As per your question on wamp forum, copy wwww/subfolders into the new location and then copy ONLY YOUR databases from mysqlx.y.z/data into the same place in the new location.
Then delete the folders from program files.
You only need one wamp ( Apache/MySQL) per system.
I tried something else:
Without moving the previously installed wamp's content just read the
"uninstall_services.bat" file
just uninstall these services from that wamp directory which you want to disable.
Still the another wamp's services won't start. So install those services mentioned in "uninstall_services.bat" file manually from respective directories.
Now Restart All Services from the tray icon. The required wamp will be enabled.
If won't, try it again. No need to reinstall wamp.
I have a Wix installer which is designed to install (uninstall) a Windows service and another .exe file. When I uninstall the software using this installer, and enabling extra log, I see some error messages about unable to remove my installation folder, although it is indeed empty. The first message that appears on the log is like this:
DEBUG: Error 2911: Could not remove the folder MY_INSTALLATION_FOLDER.
The following errors are all about the same problem. My first guess is of course that there are some resources that were being used during the uninstallation. However, like I mentioned, all components in this folder were indeed removed and this is an empty folder by now. Also, this error is the first error in the log, meaning there was no error prior to removing this folder. For example, from the log I can see a series of FileRemove actions were taken right prior to the folder removal and they all succeeded. So it's gotta be that this folder itself was being used. But I really can't figure out why and what is holding this folder. By the way the software was indeed uninstalled since the final product removal returns 0 and every thing related to our software was removed (Windows service list, shortcuts, registries...) excepted this empty folder. It is not crucial but we definitely don't want to hear from our customer asking about this kind of error anyway(they are using auto-installation and the log is by default enabled and checked)
Please help. Thanks!
Possible causes:
Other process is locking that folder. Use Unlocker to
verify if that's the case.
Some folders have restricted permissions
by Windows (e.g. C:\Windows\system32). Generally, you should avoid creating files under Windows own folders (unless it's required, I.e.: your'e installing a device driver).
Did you properly set folder permissions?
