well, 617 seems to run like a champ. but audit.config is blank. i kinda remember some of the stuff that needs to go in there, but kinda not really...

a few builds ago, there was an audit config page in the client, but as that's gone now, i don't really know how to populate that. a litle help, please...

thx!

That file has not changed since revision 490. You can view it here: [url]http://open-audit.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/open-audit/trunk/scripts/audit.config?revision=490&view=markup[/url]

Any idea why yours is blank?

i absolutely know why mine is blank. i have had SO many probs getting things working, that i have a test box with a clean image on it for each attempt, so i know i'm coming at the whole install clean. so, if there's no data in the svn build, i get no data. once i'm confident that i can install and audit and that the whole process is 100% repeatable, i will go to production. but, other than a blank audit.config, 617 appears to run setup with no errors, unlike the problems i was having [url=http://www.open-audit.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=1570]here[/url] a few weeks ago. so...

thx for info. i will sally forth!

so, whilst sallying forth, i kind of hit a wall...

as i mentioned, 617 runs setup flawlessly. armed with a now populated and configured audit.config file, "cscript audit.vbs" runs flawlessly (i can see all the dos windows floating by, dreamily, sweetly, shiny-like...). after that, the client has no info. zip. zilch. nada.

i swear, i'm not stupid. a bit dense, perhaps.

in case i didn't mention it, i'm using xampp on a w2k3 box.

So, check these lines for me:
[quote] ie_form_page = "http:///openaudit/admin_pc_add_1.php"
non_ie_page = "http:///openaudit/admin_pc_add_2.php"


If you followed the syntax, it's possible it isn't working. In that case, try:
[quote] ie_form_page = "http://openaudit/admin_pc_add_1.php"
non_ie_page = "http://openaudit/admin_pc_add_2.php"

Note the lack of an extra slash after http. Otherwise, let me know and we'll work through using IE submit just to see what's up.

Set these options:
[code]online = "ie"
ie_visible = "y"
ie_auto_submit = "n"[/code]

Then run the audit on one machine!! (unless you want a multitude of IE windows showing up).

Then paste submit, providing the IE window shows up properly. See if there are any errors.

See this page: [url]http://www.open-audit.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=1393[/url] for info on audit.config.

okay, [url=http://www.cheshirecousin.com/shmeg/error.jpg]here's[/url] the error i get. thx for sticking with me on this!

edit: let me tell you some of things i've tried on my own to try to resolve this. in the address bar, changed 'openaudit' to 'localhost' and '127.0.0.1', neither of which worked (but you probably knew that). i also tried the 'use https' thing i read here.

Where is openaudit running? If you do not have a computer with a dns name of openaudit, then you can't set it to submit to that. Is the server on localhost?

What URL do you enter in your browser to access OA? It should be the same hostname in the audit.config file.

ah...it's all becoming clear to me now. i'm not using dns on this box. the fix turns out to be changing the line in ie_form_page from 'http://openaudit/admin_pc_add_1.php' to 'http://127.0.0.1/openaudit/admin_pc_add_1.php'. (same for no_ie_page).

whew! thx a mil for your help on this, mike. i'm starting to get a feel for how oa works. except for all the apache, sql and php stuff, that is!

Well thought out! I will update the How It Works FAQ. BTW if you need to post to the OA pages from any other machine, (i.e. you want to run the VB script on any machine other than the server, then you will probably have to use the IP address of the OA machine in place of the 127.0.0.1 OR you will need to set up DNS and register the OA machine with a valid name, the url then becomes http://machinename/openaudit/admin_pc_add_1.php and if the machine is called openaudit, then obviously the URL is http://openaudit/openaudit/admin_pc_add_1.php

Using https://... only works if the OA machine supports https: and not all configurations of IIS or Apache do, so switch to this only if you need secure pages, and are sure that the web server supports them.
