Posted on by Ronie 1,080

Hi,

We have client encountered this error (see below) they're using business portal 5.1, also I recreated this error in my test web server but unable to find the problem and solution of the error. I notice that this server error occurs if the account session in the business portal (Purchase Requests) is being idle (more than 10 minutes not sure exact time) and when you continue clicked any link under purchase request the error occurs.

Is there any additional setup that I need to configure?

Anyone know this error and have solution , I greatly appreciate if you can help me. :)

 

 

Server Error in '/' Application.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on the local server machine, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "RemoteOnly". To enable the details to be viewable on remote machines, please set "mode" to "Off". <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>

<system.web>

<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"/>

</system.web>

</configuration>
 


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL. <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>

<system.web>

<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>

</system.web>

</configuration>
 

 

Thanks,

Ronie

    Hi Rob,

    Thanks for your help. My BP is working now by adding right FQDN in the alternate access mapping.

    Thanks,

    Hi Rob,

    I tried what's says in the links but still the cannot access the site settings and site permission.

    Below are the Alternate Access Mapping in my web server

    For Business Portal - http://gpserver:88

    For Central Administration - http://gpserver:27428

    And the host name is gpserver and the domain is gp2010.com

    I tried steps below:

    • go to Central Administration | Alternate Access Mapping
    • I Select an Alternate Access Mapping Collection ( for Business Portal)\
    • Then add internal URL
    • in the URL protocol, host and port box, I enterned the new internal URL http://gpserver.gp2010.com
    • In the Zone list, I select Default
    • Then save

    Still can't access, then delete created internal url then proceed the step below

    • go to Central Administration | Alternate Access Mapping
    • I Select an Alternate Access Mapping Collection ( for Central Administration)
    • Then add internal URL
    • in the URL protocol, host and port box, I enterned the new internal URL http://gpserver.gp2010.com
    • In the Zone list, I select Default
    • Then save

    Still can't access

    Is my configuration is incorrect or incomplete?

    Need your help.

    Thanks,

    Ronie

    Ronie,

    Hi Rob,

    I have one more problem. Hope you can help me again.  Last month I successfully configured the Business Portal 5.1 and being used for testing. I just notice as of writing this post that I can't access the Business Portal Home | Site Actions | Site Settings and Business Portal Home | Site Actions | Site Permissions even I'm using the administrator account (System Account).

    Hi Rob,

    You're great. I tried to change the Time out and didn't encounter the error it seems that the error is due to the expired session.

    Ronie,

     

    I believe the "issue" you're experiencing is due to a configuration setting in IIS.  If you choose your site in IIS, you can configure how long the session lives before it times out.  I've included a screenshot below.

    Thanks

    Hi Rob,

    Thanks for the KB link, the error occurs only once the session in the business portal (under purchase request page) being idle.

    I my additional investigation - 1.) In the purchase request page if you let the page idle for 20 minutes or more then after 20 minutes you clicked random link (Sample: Edit Request) in the Purchase Request page then the error appears. 2.) I also tried do something in the Purchase Request page to keep the session active for a long time but I didn't encountered the error.

    If I'm not wrong based on mine own investigation the error occurs only once the Internet Explorer is idle and not being used for a long time (20 minutes or more) under Purchase Request page.

    I don't know yet this time if where I'm going to start to fix the error. Is this error need additional configuration in my side to fix? or this is business portal error that need to fix by Microsoft?

    I noticed that this error occurs not only in BP 5.1 but also in BP 5.0 and  I didn't yet try the lower version.

    Hope you can help me cause our client is following up on me about this error.

    Thanks,

    Ronie
