App Center permissions on server

[barrymavin]

Hi Simon,

You have enabled your app as a progressive web app.(PWA)
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/...stallable_PWAs

PWA work against localhost during development.

If you deploy a PWA to a server you MUST have an ssl certificate installed on the server and you MUST use https otherwise it will not work as expected.

Under normal circumstances after an installation of Lianja cloud server on a server the installer will setup the required permissions. Similarly, if you install the Lianja IIS extension handler in IIS and follow the doc it will “just work”.

My recommendation is you get a basic example app such as the example_CarouselView working first then afterwards deploy your app and data.

Hi Barry

No - the app is not a PWA but there is an SSL certificate installed on the server.

Once we have the app working 100% on http, we will then move to https so we can use it on ipads etc.

My money is still on it being a permissions issue.

Will get out server providers to reset permissions on Monday as we have tried but not been successful.

Thanks for getting back to us

Cheers

Hi Barry

Rebuilding server overnight with fresh 2019 image as it seems really broken - Will let you know the result when we have done that.

Might we be safer installing Lianja on a different drive than the default drive C or is that asking for trouble?

Interestingly it seems that on development machine (which has always worked fine) using 7.2 beta 26 the table AfterInsert() and AfterUpdate() triggers have stopped working in desktop and web (have not tested the other table triggers)

Cheers

Simon,

if you have issues with the beta that you have access to please submit a ticket with details not on the forums.

Sorry - will do

Hi Barry

By way of completion, the server was poorly.

It turned out to be some weird Group Policy cascade which was locking all the App servers down super tight. Nobody knows how it happened.

Lianja web app working brilliantly now in non SSL on pc, tablet and phone.

Strangely even though it is http and not https on port 8001, iPad thinks it is fine as there is an SSL certificate on the domain.

Cheers

Hi Simon,

A page can't qualify as a Progressive Web App (PWA) if it doesn't run on HTTPS; many core PWA technologies, such as service workers, require HTTPS.

HTTPS is a core requirement for running a PWA. Running on port 8001 can only be done using http. To use https you need to install the Lianja IIS extension and an SSL certificate. This proxies https requests to the Lianja cloud server listening on http port 8001.

See details of what you can do with a. PWA here.
