Does nopCommerce have a log file? If so, in what location is it stored? - nopcommerce

I have been waiting for nopCommerce to install for about half an hour now (onto a free tier AWS server) and I would love to see if the install is still going on or if it has crashed at some point.
Does nopCommerce output a log file that I could view with a tool like baretail?

First of all, NopCommerce's installation is a pain in the neck. It takes really long and no one knows if it is doing something. However, in my experience with NopCommerce, I have installed it more than 10 times and it has never failed. So, it is just a matter of waiting.
To reply your answer about the log, there is a SQL table "Log" that stores all errors, and also an option from the admin to view a report of this table. It is really good.
However, because NopCommerce is being installed and this table may not yet exist, you can also check the Windows Event log using the event viewer.

The package "apppxbundle" is taking a long time to process. Unable to push update to windows store [UWP] [ Xamarin.Forms]

I've been at this for past 2 days and I'm getting weird errors from the store.
I'm trying to upload an update to my application "CoManga" via the store and it's not working out.
I'm working on Xamarin.Forms (UWP) and before making the appxbundle, I made sure and "associated my app with CoManga" from my developer account. All the information over there matches and should work fine without any issues.
Then I made a release of my UWP app, got the bundle and I tried to upload it to UWP.
It said that the Publisher info is different, so it couldn't upload. This is weird because I tried signing the bundle with my developer account itself.
Now, I tried building and signing the app bundle from app center. I got the appxbundle and that I tried to upload. But, since today it's giving me weird error :
The package comic_dl.UWP_2.1.15.0_ARM_x86_x64.appxbundle is taking a
long time to process. If this isn’t completed soon, try refreshing the
page, or remove the package and then upload it again. If you continue
to see this issue, contact support.
This package I tried to build from my system manually : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VVvF6IB70R2DKNUgBJcqw-HryL1LIwgo
This is what I got from App center : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1o0sGKU2AKVgrcTelIoRFz7QCe8Do0WJ3
This is the Store ID : 9N81F8B5WW93
Can someone guide me what I might be doing wrong/missing something.
Thanks
EDIT Update : So, I followed the suggestion and contacted Microsoft's Team for help on this issue. After 3 months of multiple contacts, I was able to get someone to reply back and follow the case. Even they tried things on their end and I tried by deleting all the certificate files I had in my current project and tried to manually build the manifest file and then it worked. I'm not entirely sure what worked out in the end. But, you can try these things if you run into this issue.
1.) Clean your project.
2.) Delete .vs directory.
3.) Look for any certificate files in your project. Back them up somewhere else and then delete them from the project (Don't exclude from project, just delete them entirely). Clean and rebuild your solution.
4.) Check if the application is already installed on your system (When you debug, VS will install your UWP app on your machine to run it). If it's installed, uninstall it completely.
5.) Make a backup of your manifest file and try to create a new manifest file.
These are the links I received from Microsoft Help:
PFN and package publisher name must match values here: https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard/products/{YourAppID}/identity
Update manually: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/schemas/appxpackage/how-to-create-a-package-manifest-manually
Update in VS: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/schemas/appxpackage/uapmanifestschema/generate-package-manifest
If these values were pulled from test certificate, partner needs to update their test cert: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/package/create-certificate-package-signing
I think this problem is not caused by anything code related, but rather it is a problem on the Store side. I would suggest contacting the Store support, they should be able to investigate if there is something wrong with your app package or the problem is on their side.
For support go to the official website, click the Contact Us tab and fill out the form accordingly.
The team should be able to advise even for the first error with different publisher info. If your app was always associated with the same account, there is no reason it should give you such an error message.
I had this issue gazillion of times. It is so frustrating. That error message isn't useful at all.
Anyway - I think it is something in Package.appxmanifest, something in Identity tag.
Retrieving some necessary info from store helped me.
Click right on your project -> Publish -> Associate App with the Store. This will update Package Display Name,Package Name,Publisher ID,Publisher Display Name and Version with correct values (within Package.appxmanifes).
Also be careful with version number. The last from numbers must be zero. 1.1.1.0 is fine, while 1.1.1.1 is not.

Visual Studio 2015 download getting stuck at applying Microsoft ASP.net

I'm currently on my third attempt trying to install Visual Studio 2015 on this computer. I have tried rebooting, hard shut downs, canceling setup and restarting, etc. Each time, it gets stuck at applying Microsoft ASP.net. I have tried leaving it overnight (12 hours). My download speed is 50-60 MBPS according to Ookla Speedtest. I am running Windows 10. I did do a "custom" installation and added C++, Python, and the Git extension. If I am not mistaken it said 7 GB size. Why is it doing this? Please help!
I don't understand why this isn't working because I installed VS 2015 for my laptop (a different computer) just a few days ago on a relatives WIFI and their speed was 3-7 MBPS.
(Note: The installer is not technically frozen since the loading dots on the bottom are moving.) However, bar hasn't filled up at all for like 6 hours.
EDIT:
Do I need ASP.NET (for C#, Python, and maybe C++)? Can I uncheck certain features for installation so that it wont try to install this? Also, when I cancel installation it never cancels and just stays there so I have to kill the installer with the task manager. This is getting incredibly frustrating.
Fixed it...
Easiest way is "threaten" to shut down the computer. Go into Power, restart system. You will be warned that there is a logging program which will not let the system reset. Cancel that program and then do NOT restart.
Installer immediately went on to next part and finished install after having been stuck for 6 hours...
I got it to work, it wasn't perfect, but here is what I did: It was getting stuck at very certain points, most notably ASP.NET. I did a little research and got an idea from something I read (I unfourtunetly can't find the source again). Sometimes windows opens invisible "confirm" type windows or installer windows that get stuck. When the installer got stuck I opened up task manager -> details, than checked On the visual studio process by right clicking then clicking analyzing wait chain. This showed me what process the VS install was waiting for. Then, I'd just kill the process. Messy, I know, but better then nothing. I had to do that 2 or 3 times. Afterward it said it installed correctly with 2 components that had warnings. ASP.NET was included. But everything else worked fine (c#, C++) Later I went back and did a repair. That worked pretty smooth. Finally, I installed the Python Tools successfully. (that part is sort of irrelevant but the point was that everything is now working fine).
edit, found another source: Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition Installation Stuck In Windows 10
Yes i had this problem too. To solve this open task manager and go to details tab then search for TiWorker.exe, right click on it and choose analyzing wait chain it will display many instances of the process that are in waiting mode , check all those processes and terminate them after doing this the installer will go to the next step.
To avoid this problem, you have to install IIS first.
Go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows features on or off -> Select "Internet Information Services" -> OK
I had this problem a couple of hours before writing this answer and what worked for me was:
I opened other programs at least two or three and went to power and clicked on restart as usual it will warn you about open programs that need too be closed before shutdown or programs that are currently active I then clicked on force close and it closed the first program that I recently opened then I quickly clicked on cancel. Two minutes later instalation was back on track
Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc, then go to Tiworker.exe and terminate all the waiting processes.
I found a solution to this headache of a process to install Visual Studio. If you have tried everything and nothing seams to be working for you even by trying the command line shell then try this.
Go open task manager while running the installer and kill wusa.exe. It will kill the process to search for the update and continue the installation. You may have to kill some other processes as well if they get stuck. Its not great but it seams to be working.
wusa.exe seams to be the task that is the problem that prevents the installer from moving to the next step. This could be because your computer can not reach the update server.
This seams to be the case for both the Community and Enterprise Version of Visual Studio.

Tridion 2009 - Purge Tool

When starting the Purge Tool from the Content Manager server, nothing happens except I just get a 100% CPU process which kills my server instantly, any suggestions?
It's the first time I've executed this tool so I'm not sure what's supposed to happen; does it connect to the DB immediately? - the 190 GB DB I'm lumbered with might not be helping it if that's the case.
Thanks in advance.
I have also seen this in past, you may try this with publication by publication or with limited number of folders/structure group.
Yes purge tool use the database immediately.
You should get a dialog box - It can take a while to load, but in the past I have seen this to be a permissions problem. Try right-clicking on the program, and using "Run as Administrator" if you are on a Windows 2008 Server
The Purge tool starts out by trying to "consume" your blueprint structure. It does this in a pretty cumbersome way however, it will get there in the end. Just leave it to run, it will get there.
The Purge tool doesn't connect to the db directly. It uses the Tridion API. (Of course, Tridion then goes to the database.)
On starting, the Purge tool will load all your publications, which it then displays for you. If you have a lot of publications, and a slow system, this can take a while.
If there is a permissions problem, I'd expect it to be one of Tridion permissions, so ensure that the account you are running as it a Tridion administrator.

Packaging Operation Failed in Xcode 4

When I use Xcode 4 to create an app IPA fie, I go to Product --> Archive to get an Xcode Archive. I recently read the SO post here detailing on how to distribute an app in the AppStore. I followed the instructions in this post and my errors still persist.
First, I begin with validation. When I click Validate I login, elect the correct code signing ID and then get the following error:
I get the same error message when I attempt to distribute to the AppStore.
Any ideas as to why I cannot share and/or distribute my app?
EDIT
Previously, I was having trouble validating and distributing and as a result I would receive this error:
I fixed this problem by finishing my CCATs / Encryption Registration in iTunes Connect.
I got the same error and found this solution (Xcode 4.4).
In Build Settings/Code Signing I had "Don't Code Sign" in my first Archive attempt.
I then put a valid Distribution Certificate (in the Release identity) and, after Archiving, validation of package went flawless.
Thanks to Apple that at every release does something (undocumented) different from the previous version.
Cheers.
Couple months late, but in case someone else encounters this problem and finds this question (as I did) and none of the other suggestions work for you. After reading the other answers, there seem to be multiple causes for this error.
In my case, it was because my project's scheme had its Archive build configuration set to Release, instead of Distribution. After changing this to Distribution, I was able to submit the app without issues.
Hope this helps someone else.
I had similar situation and standard solutions like removing files with prefix _. and certificate experimenting did not lead into success.
Build distribution of English version worked, but localised to Croatian did not. So I used heavy weapon. I installed Croatian keyboard layout. And guess what? Since that moment all worked out!
So maybe there was something else in the place, but I would suggest you at least to check if this matches your situation.
Possible error with your certificate/provisioning profiles. Here is a short summary of my certificate quest with Xcode 4.3:
Make certain (in developer.apple.com) that you have created a distribution certificate
Make certain your application id in Xcode matches perfectly the one in developer.apple.com
Create your app in itunesconnect.apple.com
Load the distribution certificate in your keyChain create a distribution provisioning profile for your app (make certain you add all devices when creating the provisioning profile)
Drag the provisioning profile in Xcode organizer, LIBRARY section, Provisioning Profiles.
Make your archive.
In Xcode organizer, validate your app, then distribute it for ad-hoc.
Eventually (if you are patient) Xcode will offer to save the IPA somewhere. Save it, place the IPA in a place where your testers can download it.
After download, the tester can drag the IPA in iTunes (LIBRARY), and eventually sync up the device (if and only if their device UDID was checked when you created/modified the provisioning profile).
more or less. Best of luck.
ps. there is a free app in AppStore , Get UDID. Ask your testers to use that and email you the devices specifics, will save you tons of frustrations with the 40'ish characters long device ID.
It happnes to me when I've try distribute app from Xcode DEVELOPER PREVIEW.
From actual version of XCode - everything works fine.
I was also seeing this inexplicable error, and tried all of the suggestions here with no success. I finally went and deleted my local certificates and provisioning profiles and downloaded them again from Apple's provisioning website. After making sure the code signing options were set correctly in my build settings, I cleaned the project and archived again and this time the error disappeared when I ran the validation step.
Check if the code signing entries are correct (containing the distribution profile) for both the project and the target. It is possible to archive the project even if only the project settings are correct.
To me the answer came after trying to validate my app after unsuccessfully submitting it to the MacAppStore. I thought that by validating it, I should get a more detailed error message, instead ot this "Packaging operation error". And here it comes:
And that was because I had to revoke my certificates (as for why I had to revoke them, don't ask, I don't know, it happens in one every 2 submissions...). And I had recreated only the Mac Submission certificate. Actually, you also need the Installer one. It waqs late, I thought do I really need this?... Hence I finally made twice the little dance in Keychain.app -> Request Certificate from a Certificate Authority... etc, uploading to itunesconnect, and downloading them back. After that, it worked.

DotNetNuke 3.0.x on SQLServer 2005/Net 2.0.Win2003 - possible?

I've promised to take a look at an old DotNetNuke installation for a client with the intention of making a few, hopefully minor, changes. The installation is rather old - I believe version 3.0.013 - and the production copy is running against SQL Server 2000, Windows 2003 and .Net 1.1.
As the production server is live and significantly used we need a development installation first. I have attempted to install a copy on my local server - Windows 2003, SQL Server 2005, .Net 2.0, and although with a few tweaks I can successfully get it to display the site, I cannot login, or even access the login module (ie just putting in blank username and password attempting to generate a 'must enter username' type error) without getting the error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'
I've spent some time trying to get around this error, without success, although I am hampered by not having used this package before.
So my questions are
Has anyone managed to run DotNetNuke 3.0.x with this configuration (or do I need to setup a box with SQL 2000 and .Net 1.0 to get it to run)?
Any suggestions where I should start looking for this error, or has anyone come across anything similar before?
EDIT: Eventually chickened out and installed in on an old webserver with Win2003/SQL 2000/Net 1.1 and it went in fine on an identical install. So I guess the answer is no, it doesn't work straight out of the box.
My feeling is that you shouldn't have any trouble running in the above mentioned environment. But taking a closer look at the error itself will help us to prove that.
If the error is occurring only when you navigate to the Login module, it may be an issue loading the authentication provider. The best way to find out is to look in the DNN Event Log and take a look at the full error message.
Because you can't login to access the Event Log, you should probably just take a look at the row created in the database when you receive the error. The table is called EventLog and there may be a little bit of friction in parsing the error message out, as all of the details are stored in the database in an XML format.
In general, when moving a site from one environment to another there are only a couple of things that you'd need to do:
make sure you can connect to the database
set the file system permissions
It sounds like you already have database connectivity because you can load the site.
However, you may want to double check (just re-apply) the file system permissions for the root of the website on the machine in question. Make sure the identity of the website (typically ASP.NET Machine Account or Network Service) has 'Modify' permissions on the root website directory. Perhaps the web site can't load a particular assembly due to lack of permissions.
