InfoPath Dev

I've installed the trial version on Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit with SQL Server 2008 R2 (no SharePoint) and followed the installation instructions. There were no errors in the installation. In working through the Getting Started guide, I get to the point where I can submit a form without errors, but the form does not get added since the number never changes from 0 in the catalog after clicking refresh. And no data gets added to the SQL tables as well. The installation instruction mentions that the Network Service account must be added to the IIS_WPG group, but that does not appear to be a group in IIS7. There is a IIS_IUSRS which has the Network Service account added to it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled DBXL, with the same results.

I would appreciate any help in troubleshooting this issue.

Thanks,
Stuart

Follow-up... in expoloring the DAT, I went to the Permissions tab and added the Administrator to the Role Name in the Document Type Level Permissions and selected all the check boxes, and now I was able to submit a document and have it show up in the catalog. During the installation I left the check box selected for Global User Permissions. Should I have added a group for the Writer and Reader Group to prevent having to modify the Permissions in the DAT?
Thanks, Stuart

Hi Stuart,

Yes, you can add Readers and Writers for all document types. You saw this in the installer but you can modify this in web.config.

In web.config you'll also see the DBXLAdmin group:

                                <add key="BrowserGroupAlias" value="NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users" />
                                <add key="ReaderGroupAlias" value="INTRANET\DbxlUsers" />
                                <add key="WriterGroupAlias" value="INTRANET\DbxlUsers" />
                                <add key="AdminGroupAlias" value="INTRANET\DbxlAdmins" />
 
                                <add key="DbxlAdminAlias" value="INTRANET\DbxlAdmins" />

In the example above we have only two groups: DbxlUsers (who can read and write) and DbxlAdmins (who can manage DBXL and manage every doctype).

If you need to make changes, modify the web.config. Let us know if you run into any issues.

Thanks! Stuart
