Why can't I connect to the GeoStream server?
If you get the error message "Cannot find GeoStream server. If you are trying to connect to your localhost, you must have IIS and GeoStream application set up. Please Retry and check URL or Cancel to Exit", check that:
- The GeoStream server has been installed correctly with IIS
- ASP.NET version is 2.0 or newer
- Anonymous authentication is correctly set up with the right username and password
- The server folder is shared out as web sharing with alias GeoBase
- The [ C:\GeoStreamCache] folder exists (Previous to 3.0 this folder is [ c:\tiles])
- IIS and the servers have been restarted
- The files are accessible through the browser
- No virus protection is running
- Port 80 is listening
If the above are all correct, then you may need to re-install IIS. Run:
[ c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<ASP.NET version>] \aspnet_regiis -ga ASPNET
See the GeoStream section of the GeoBase documentation for more debugging suggestions.
