Hi,

I am new to HgLab. I have installed it and configured SQL server and IIS. When I enter the root of the web site (http://localhost/hglab) I get a blank page. What is the default root page that I should be navigating to?

   Hello!

   It all depends on how exactly you configured your IIS instance (and I assume you have Windows 2003+ with .NET Framework 4.0 installed as per Prerequisites ).

   Now, if you added HgLab as a Web Application (see attached image, blue arrow), you'll need to go to http://localhost/hglab (which is what you already did). If you configured HgLab as a Web Site (purplish arrow), you'll need to go to whatever address you specified in Right Click - Edit Bindings....

   If all you see is a blank page, head over to the HgLab Home Directory (the one that you configured in an installer) and see if there's a logs directory with global-....log file in it. Take a peek inside to see if there's anything suspicious and attach it here if there is.

   Additionally, I'm always more than willing to help over TeamViewer.

   Ok, I figured it out. The IIS user must have write access to the c:\windows\temp directory.

   This is most likely due to the fact that IIS somehow lost permissions to write to c:\windows\temp.

   One more debugging thing: from an Elevated Command Prompt (the one that you "Run as Administrator"), execute this command and paste the output here:

   icacls c:\windows\temp

   Oh, glad that you were able to resolve that!

   Is everything good now?
