Hi,

Do you mind show us these two files:

• %programfiles%\Laserfiche\Federatedsearch\CrawlerAdminSite\Web.config
• %programfiles%\Laserfiche\Federatedsearch\CrawlerService\Laserfiche.FederatedSearch.CrawlerService.Host.exe.config
• %programdata%\Laserfiche\Federatedsearch\FederatedSearch.json
• %programdata%\Laserfiche\Federatedsearch\ServiceContainer.json

That can be helpful for us to identify the problems.

Hi - i checked through the  %programfiles%\Laserfiche\Federatedsearch\CrawlerAdminSite\Web.config file there was still a reference to localhost (I thought I'd done a fine/replace on all, most references had been updated but this one hadn't).

It now loads those pages correctly so looks like I'm good to go. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Continuing from this, I've managed to configure a file provider and successfully searched for content from there, but despite adding two local Laserfiche repositories, neither return and results and do not show as a source (assuming they should?)

A colleague is seeing something different on his system in that no repositories appear under the config page but do appear as sources, and yield search hits along with his other configured sources (web and file).

Hi Nigel,

1. For your issue, does your account which you use to login Federated Search have access/ search rights to added repositories? You can try using the same account to search within the added repositories in Web Access to check if you can perform search operation successfully. It would be better if you can give us some screenshots for this.

2. For your colleague's problem, is it a seperate Federated Search server compared to yours?  Did your colleague ever add some repositories before?  Was the url the same one as the federated search instance he/she wanted to access?

For both of your issues, it would be helpful if you can offer us some more information:

• %programdata%\Laserfiche\Federatedsearch\RepositoryProvider.json
• Screenshots for FederatedSearch Admin site repositories configuration
• Screenshots for FederatedSearch Search site landing page and search result page with errors you met

Hi,

Quick update on this. The account the service was running as was able to login to the repository via the Windows and Web Client but this was by virtue of a repository user being linked to that AD account. 

Once I'd unlinked the repository user and explicitly added the same AD account as a Windows account, the repository then appeared as a source and I was able to complete searches OK. With hindsight that makes sense.
 

Thanks,

Nigel.

Hi,

The behaviour of the config page allows me to enter the details for the repository but clicking apply the button disables as though its doing something but then does nothing.  No indication its adding the repository and you can navigate to another part of the config.

Returning to the Repository Tab and nothing again is showing but as Nigel said, the repository is being searched within the Federated Search Client.

Hi Richard,
Thanks for reaching us. In order to identify problems you encounter, can you give us some more information:
    1. %programdata%\Laserfiche\Federatedsearch\RepositoryProvider.json if it is convenient for you
    2. What browser are you using? Does this happen in other browsers?
    3. In the first screenshot the repo name is MBS2, while the name in the second screenshot is mbsuk, are they the same repository? Did you add mbsuk before?
    4. To make sure I understand your words, when accessing admin site, you see no repositories, and the first screenshot happened after you clicked the "Apply" button?
