Error (404; not found) when executing a script that calls "Server.FindObject"

[hasan_mz]

Hi Geo SCADA community,

 I have a lone server running a DB that was upgraded from Geo SCADA v83 to v85. After the upgrade, whenever a script that calls "Server.FindObject" is executed in ViewX. I get (404 Not Found).

 I've double-checked IIS and reverse proxy configuration against WebX configuration, all seem fine.

 I've seen the errors (502: bad gateway) and (Unknown Error) before, first time to encounter 404. So, I was hoping someone could help me through this.

 Thanks in advance

It sounds like the proxy or WebX connection are not reachable. Can you reach the server from a web browser on that client PC? Check that the WebX configuration in Server Config is telling ViewX about the correct port number.

I often see the 404 error when there is another webserver running on the port that DBServer tells ViewX to connect on (IIS usually starts before Geo SCADA so will often grab the port), examples including when running a second Geo SCADA instance and not having sorted the ports/another reverse proxt setup in IIS, or just if the IIS Default Site is using the port
