Web Application on Windows Server 2012 R2

[DragonFireParticipant]

Before anything else, I would like to say thank you for creating this awesome piece of software. It does what I need it to do, minus a small issue, but, again, thanks for creating RapidSCADA.

Now, for my issue, I am having a difficult time getting the web application to work on a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine. I’ve read all the documentation and watched all the videos as well on the topic but as most know, Windows Server is slightly different than its Desktop counterparts. The issue seems to be getting all the IIS parts right. Since Server 2012 R2 is neither Windows 7 or Windows 10, how do I go about installing the right .NET version and IIS components? I get this any time I try to connect to the web server (this is just a generic image of my issue):

Should I go the route of following the Windows 7 IIS setup instructions since Windows Server 2012 R2 doesn’t have access to ASP.NET 4.6? Thank you for your time.

Hello,
Thank you for the kind words.

You right, Windows Server requires different sequence of installing IIS. Could you provide screenshots to show the settings you have already done? What components did you choose?
Something like

Thank you.
Also you have to switch on ASP.NET 4.5 and HTTP Activation for WCF 4.5
What do you see by the link http://localhost ?

Wow, I feel very stupid right now. I forgot that Windows Server locks down Internet Explorer. I installed Vivaldi and it works like a champ! Thanks for your assistance even though it was an issue I should have realized sooner hahaha.

I say thanks you guys because you did a great piece of software.

I have 3 questions:

1-. How to install everything (Server, communicator, webstation, administrator, table editor and scheme editor) in a Windows Server 2012 R2.

2-. I have SQL 2018 installed. Can I use it instead of Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5.?

3-. If Yes Question number 2, how to do it? By the way is running is a different server than the one running the Rapid Scada

Regards

1. Before running Rapid SCADA setup, you should switch on the features of Windows Server 2012 R2. If you provide link to their screenshot, I’ll write what features to select.

2. Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 is used for configuration only, not for data archive. You can’t change it to SQL 2018. In the future we will get rid of SQL Server Compact.

Thanks i follow the win 7 setting and it worked 🙂

2-. could you please guide me how to do the data archive in SQL2018. My scenario is i have two server: Server A is the web server, it hold the configuration and is web server. Server B is the SQL 2018.

You should create a new topic about export data to MS SQL. Read this before.

Hi,

Look for the Menu button in the top left corner of the web page. If there is no such button, provide a screenshot.
