Kentico Admin doesnt load in windows 10

Ben Janssen asked on May 31, 2017 22:13

I'm running Kentico version 9.0.1 on windows 10 machine and the site runs fine. However the dashboard times outs. Chrome inspector tools tell me a few JavaScript files were not found. I put the same site on a windows 7 VM and it works fine.

It's most likely due to 1 of 2 things:

  • Cached javascript files - clear your cache in your browser
  • macros needing to be resigned - resign the macros

Did you recently do an upgrade? If so, one of the 2 will resolve the problem

Tried clearing the my cache. Its a new copy of a site i pulled from a different server. No upgrades. I cant resign the macros. Once logged in i get a blank dashboard screen and no access to any apps.

Try navigating directly to the System app by using this URL:

http://your-domain-or-localhost/Admin/cmsadministration.aspx#6e969eb5-cb85-45ac-89c9-2bdebef2c820

Same thing. Loads a blank page with a few jquery files unable to load.

If i navigate to the js files in a browser, they load, but the browser continues to spin. fwiw.

thanks in advance.

So when you cleared your cache, did you delete it physically from the browser settings or just attempt to do it via CTRL + F5? You need to physically delete the files in the settings. Have you queried the event logs on the database directly? Should help get a bit more info for you as well as looking into your local event log on your PC.

Kentico 5.5 R2 runs on Windows 10, if you have an old browser. I ran it about 2 weeks ago during an upgrade so there's no doubt Kentico 9 and 10 run on Windows 10.

Is the site running on that local machine? If so, when you navigate to the js files in the browser, are you using that same domain?

Is it a website or a web app? Try restarting IIS or do a build if you can.

Can you confirm the files are on the local machine AND that your HOSTS file has that pointer in place? Does the site require an HTTPS binding for the /Admin site?

I have an application start in the event log. That is all.

I did have to take the http > https rewrite rule out of the web.config in order to get the site side to run.

Interesting, what was your rewrite rule? Do you have URL Rewrite module on your local machine? You might need to simply create an https binding in IIS to get it to work without removing the rewrite rule.
