Aquanotes and Windows 7

[reefs4life]

Hi everyone....I have windows 7 and I'm trying to get aquanotes up and running but it says that IIS isn't installed every time I click on 'enable web'. I turned every IIS feature on and it still says it's not installed. Can someone help me out here please. Thanks in advance, Fortunato

if u have installed IIS, make sure you don't have any firewall rules enabled that would block port 80 (inbound to the PC/IIS)

What kind of program is that and what does it do?

I looked at my windows firewall and domain, public and private inbound connections are all blocked by default, I allowed them all and it still said IIS wasn't installed. Now I have them all blocked again. Any other suggestions?

It's a program for the Neptune Aquacontrollers and it enables you to program the controllers on your PC, graph and keep logs and I think it also allows you to have remote access to the controller which is the biggest thing I'm aiming for

64 bit win 7?

Try running the program in win xp mode. It should work for you. Check the neptune forums for more info too. They will have alot more on the problem than people here will know about.

What about running the program as administrator?

 

[rkaragozler]

I would uninstall it, and re install it by administrator rights. A lot of programs don't run right unless you do it this way.
Just make sure you do a backup of your settings if you have any.

What happens if you try to go to http://localhost ?

Do you get anything?

 

[reefs4life]

None of those things worked guys....

And when I go to http://localhost it takes me to the IIS website but that doesn't do me any good

Have you gone onto Reef Central and looked at the Neptune Forum in their forum section? If not, go look in there, as suggested on an earlier post here, the answer to your issue is almost guaranteed to be in there

Alright I'll look into it, I feel like I tried everything though

So IIS is installed, and functioning.

What version of AquaNotes? Here's a blurb from the 3.0 manual:

This version of AquaNotes is designed for 32-bit operating systems running WIndows
95, 98, NT 4.0, 2000, ME, and XP.

Maybe they are hoping you'll buy version 3.5.

Did you follow these steps in the manual?

2. On the server open the Config->Options window and select the TCP/IP tab. In the
Web Access section check the Web Server enable checkbox. Select the OK button.
If prompted for a login and password name enter the user name and password of the
user that AquaNotes should run as. NOTE it takes about 5 seconds for AquaNotes
to configure the web server initially and AquaNotes may be unresponsive during this
time.

3. It is highly recommend that you also check the 'File->Run As Service' to ensure that
AquaNotes starts running even if no one has logged into Windows. If prompted for
a login and password name enter the user name and password of the user that
AquaNotes should run as (the login and password must match those that were
entered in step 2).

4. On the Passwords tab modify the access permissions of the guest and admin users to
suite your preferences.

If all else fails...

I think version 3.5 lite is a free download from their site
