Unable to open xpage on localhost browser

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

Just installed Notes 8.5.2 developer client on laptop.

Xpages can be opened in the Notes client but not in a browser. I have tried Firefox, IE, and Chrome but receive a HTTP500 error whatever page is attempted. No further details are provided even when the xpages runtime error page is enabled for the application.

Client log reports 1 error -

14/12/2010 11:19:14 HTTP Web Server: Command Not Handled Exception [/log.nsf/test.xsp] Anonymous

The xpage can be as simple as one piece of text - no controls or javascript.

It is possible to preview non x-pages (i.e. view) from the same database in the browser. Client log reports a long list of errors -

14/12/2010 10:53:58 Xsp Initialization error - Could not load class or methods

It looks to me like an install issue, I have :-

Looked at the rcpinstall.properties file which seems ok,

Set a classpath environment variable to no effect,

Removed and reinstalled the client to no effect.

As I am Running Windows 7 Home premium (64 bit), and the program is installed in the Program files (x86) directory tree, is this a problem with a 32bit JVM ? I have run out of ideas and could do with some assistance please.

Subject: Fixed

If I start the designer client as an administrator then the issue goes away. So this begs the question what function of the client http server requires windows admin privileges ?

Subject: Fixed HTTP Error 500 when previewing from designer client

Thanks for your post Andrew, good work figuring that out!

I had this same issue on Windows 7 x64, and running designer.exe with ‘Run as Administrator’ works.

In the file properties dialog - compatibility tab - check mark “Run as Administrator”

I would also like to know if there is a way to install this with rights to launch the HTTP preview natively.

Subject: One additional tidbit

Granting designer.exe did NOT fix this issue, so I started granting all the Notes exe files Admin rights, which did finally work. Not sure exactly which file did it (I was in a huge hurry) but I’m guessing either notes.exe or nlnotes.exe.
