WebLog Expert from behind reverse proxy

Hello, I run the built in webserver in WebLog expert, and it sits behind a reverse proxy... I do this for many sites, but WebLog Expert seems to freeze with the "Loading" screen whenever i try to make a selection on the left menu. Any ideas?

So i tried installing IIS with .net and weblog still does not work, i get a blank white page remotely, when trying from the IIS server i get a 500 internal server error.. Followed your online directions... reverse proxy is not even being used in this attempt.. I need to get IIS displaying your files first.

.net needed to be registered with IIS... So that part is fixed, now any time i try to logon i get a red warning that my password is incorrect..

First of all you should try to remove the user in WebLog Expert web server and add it again.

If it doesn't help, you should edit the application pool settings for the report (Advanced Settings for the pool) and try to change the pool identity. The default value is ApplicationPoolIdentity, you can try to change it to LocalSystem. It can help in the case the report in IIS cannot read the file with setitngs and so cannot validate the user.

Already tried replacing the user. even added a new user... Also tried applicationPoolIdentity to localsystem same issue. restarted the iis site after each change.

Please help me resolve this issue to the end. I see there are a few other people with the same issues out there.

It seems to be either a problem with permissions for accessing WebLog Expert files from IIS, or a problem with IIS configuration. So you should try to do the following:

1. Set permissions to allow access for all users to the following folders:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WebLog Expert"
"C:\ProgramData\WebLog Expert"

2. If it still doesn't help, you should try to uninstall IIS (by removing its feature in Windows settings) and reinstall again, you should also check that when you reinstall it ASP.NET 4.5 features as well as authentication features are enabled.

Gave those folders Everyone with read access. No change.
checked to see if authentication features were enabled, they were.
Even tried to give the the apppool admin rights for a test.. No change

Just did an un/install of IIS and re-install same issue. All "Security" options are checked and installed.

As the last chance I recommend you to uninstall and reinstall the program. Before it you should back up the program settings by using the File > Backup command. You may also make a copy of the "C:\ProgramData\WebLog Expert" folder just to be sure.

After you uninstall the program check if the "C:\Program Files (x86)\WebLog Expert" and "C:\ProgramData\WebLog Expert" exist. If they exist (the second one should exist after uninstall), remove them manually. After it reinstall the program.

It think that it should be a permission problem. Unfortunately if the reinstall doesn't help, the only thing I can recommend is to try installing the program on another computer.

It seems that the page cannot get response from the server for some reason. I recommend you to try running the reports in IIS instead of the built-in server, maybe it will solve the problem. You can find more information on it at https://www.weblogexpert.com/help/wle... and https://www.weblogexpert.com/help/wle...

we don't use IIS... that's why we need your built in web server to work.
