EVPO Document Circulation / News: Recent posts

Since version 1.0.3201 you can use an user friendly automated setup to install the application and those tedious 9 steps are no longer needed. Just download the archive, unzip and run setup. It will check all needed dependencies and download them for you. Then you go to Start / Programms and click the EVPO Document Circulation menu. Your browser will open and you will see a wizard. It will ask you a few simple questions such as MySql server machine name, MySql credentials and so on. All that is possible because of the lightweight cassini web server originally from Microsoft. Don't hesitate to contact me if you experience any difficulties. My email is still evpomail@gmail.com.

For installing and using the previous release some work was required to reconcile it with new MySql connectors and the setup wizard contained several bugs that made it impossible to setup the project without coding and debuging. The packages from this release were tested with new versions of the connector and I think at last you can use setup wizard to install the application. The source packcage contains solution that can be easily built. I also need to warn you that if you use Visual Studio ASP.NET Application server instead of IIS virtual directory, you won't be able to browse attachments in Document Cards. The solution was build referencing 5.1.5 version of MySql Connector. If you use a newer one you need to rebuild the solution or change web.config file to redirect to the newer version. I tested the release with MySql server 5.1.23. Don't hesitate, please, and send me a message if anything is wrong.

The project depends on one assembly in GAC. It is MySql .Net Connector. Version 5.0.7.0 is referenced in the build. That version is not available on mysql web site now. I added a redirecting directive to the web.config file so application could work with newer versions of MySql Connector. Now 5.0.7.0 is redirected to 5.0.8.1, which is available at the moment. If you have a newer version than 5.0.8.1, the redirection in the web.config file should be changed. See step 7 in the installation manual http://www.evpo.net/Installation.aspx
If you had difficulties installing the application connected with this propblem, download the archive again from the download section.
