WSO2 ESB: Getting Dead Pages When Running in Windows Service - wso2

I'm getting blank pages when navigating the WSO2 ESB-4.9.0 management console. For example, the registry, templates, endpoints, and local entries pages are all blank when navigating to them in the console UI.
I've found the following errors in the logs:
Error during rendering
IO Error executing tag: JSPException while including path '/templates/list_templates.jsp'. ServletException while including page.
The ESB is running in a YAJSW Windows Service. I should note that the ESB runs fine when running straight from the command line, it's just when using the service wrapper.

Since you mentioned that the ESB starts as a window service, in carbon 4.4.x, default wrapper.conf file needs to be updated with following additional entries.
wrapper.java.additional.26 = -Dwso2.carbon.xml=${carbon_home}\\repository\\conf\\carbon.xml
wrapper.java.additional.27 = -Dwso2.registry.xml=${carbon_home}\\repository\\conf\\registry.xml
wrapper.java.additional.28 = -Dwso2.user.mgt.xml=${carbon_home}\\repository\\conf\\user-mgt.xml
wrapper.java.additional.29 = -Dwso2.transports.xml=${carbon_home}\\repository\\conf\\mgt-transports.xml
wrapper.java.additional.31 = -Dorg.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.STRICT_QUOTE_ESCAPING=false
wrapper.java.additional.33 = -Dfile.encoding=UTF8
You can verify these configurations in wrapper.conf and these configurations may help you to solve the jsp error.

I just used the NSSM - the "Non-Sucking Service Manager".
It's actually amazingly simple to install a Service using this tool.

Just set it up to point at the wso2server.bat file
Keeping an eye on this issue however: https://wso2.org/jira/browse/ESBJAVA-4342

Error occurred while generating PDF in Coldfusion using cfhtmltopdf

I am getting the following error using cfhtmltopdf:
Error occurred while generating PDF. Reason: PDF conversion is failed due to timeout. Increase the timeout value in PDFgService manager settings.
According to these docs (see "Configuring the PDF service manager"), I should be able to tweek the PDF Service Settings in the web.xml file:
https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/pdf-generation-in-coldfusion.html
On Production, I am able to find the file and make these changes. It is located here:
//jetty/webapps/PDFgServlet/WEB-INF/.
However, locally, using CF2018 Developer Edition using IIS Server Mode, I cannot find any reference to any PDF service settings in any of the web.xml files in my CF directories. This folder also does not exist: //jetty/webapps/PDFgServlet/WEB-INF/.
I did find locally this folder:
C:\ColdFusion2018\cfusion\hf-updates\hf-2018-00003-314033\jetty\webapps\PDFgServlet\WEB-INF
There was no web.xml file there though, and adding one in with the settings had no effect (after restarting CF).
So I'd like to know how does one change these PDF settings in a local/development environment like this, like I was able to do on Production, in order to further debug this error I am getting.
UPDATE: We have logged the underlying issue with Adobe: https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4208624

ColdFusion 2018: How to setup a mapping correctly?

These are the steps I use:
1) I created new mapping inside CF Server => Server Settings => Mapping
logical path: /mysite
directory path: /Volumes/drive2/work/mysite
2) I restarted the server
/Applications/ColdFusion2018/cfusion/bin/coldfusion stop && /Applications/ColdFusion2018/cfusion/bin/coldfusion start
3) Using my preferred text editor, I created test.cfm inside /Volumes/drive2/work/mysite with the following contents
<cfdump var="#CGI#">
4) I then tried viewing the new file on my browser via
localhost:8500/mysite/test.cfm
I then get a 404 error. Exact message goes like "coldfusion.runtime.TemplateNotFoundException: File not found: /mysite/test.cfm"
I checked these 2 things:
I verified that /Volumes/drive2/work/mysite is readable by everyone (755 permission)
I verified that /Volumes/drive2/work/mysite/test.cfm is readable by everyone (644 permission)
Other than creating the mapping, the other configurations I've changed are:
created datasource for my app
Enabled debugging/logging but only after I got the first 404 error
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? or perhaps other settings I should've set? I've added a screenshot of the mappings section below.
Thanks!
Edit: I'm using the built-in webserver provided by the standalone/developer edition. I'm also using localhost.
What you are attempting to do is not what ColdFusion mappings are for. ColdFusion mappings are used by ColdFusion code to access files. What you are attempting to do via a request like localhost:8500/mysite/test.cfm is access a folder through your web server. What you need to do for that is create a "virtual directory" using your web server admin.
You did not specify which web server you are using but it should be very easy to find documentation on how to accomplish what you need by searching your "web server name create virtual directory".
Here are a couple of examples for IIS and Apache.
IIS Virtual Directory
Apache Alias
If you are using the builtin Tomcat server, as we can assume by the use of localhost and port 8500, then follow the directions documented on the following page under the Adding a virtual directory for ColdFusion using the built-in Tomcat application server section.

Cannot see any option in WSO2 Identity Server dashboard

I'm evaluating WSO2 Identity Server 5.0.0 but I'm getting a strange issue using the dashboard.
I installed it on a server of mine (so it is not on localhost) and configured the following configuration files so that WSO2 knows where to point
File wso2is-5.0.0/repository/conf/carbon.xml
<HostName>SERVER_IP</HostName>
<MgtHostName>SERVER_IP</MgtHostName>
File wso2is-5.0.0/repository/conf/security/saml2.federation.properties
WSO2=https://SERVER_IP:9445/samlsso
File wso2is-5.0.0/repository/conf/security/sso-idp-config.xml
<SSOIdentityProviderConfig>
<ServiceProviders>
<ServiceProvider>
<Issuer>wso2.my.dashboard</Issuer>
<AssertionConsumerService>https://SERVER_IP:9443/dashboard/acs</AssertionConsumerService>
...
As stated in the official documentation I should see some blocks and after clicking the "View details" buttons I should be able to do the operations of the dashboard related to each block.
However, when I login in the Dashboard I can see the blocks, but when I click "View details" I get a blank-content page a you can see in the following screenshot of the "My Profiles" page
The same thing happens for the other blocks.
What can I do? Maybe I didn't configure something?
Thank you in advance
Giulio
If you have installed the identity server other than localhost, You would see some issues with dashboard. I also experienced same type of issues. But you can resolve them by configuring the host name and port properly. Unfortunately there are few places that you need to edit. Please find them below. I have already to report a jira to improve them to configure from one config file.
repository/conf/carbon.xml
repository/conf/security/sso-idp-config.xml
repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/dashboard/apis/gadget.json
repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/portal/gadgets/account-recovery/gadget.xml
repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/portal/gadgets/identity_management/gadget.xml

repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/portal/gadgets/user_auth_apps/gadget.xml
repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/portal/gadgets/user_profile/gadget.xml
modify the url of the user_profile (i.e. http://{IP}:{port}/portal/gadgets/user_profile/gadget.xml ) in "repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/dashboard/apis/gadget.json" file in to HTTP and Port in to 9763.

Azure Web Site with Django 500 Error

I've spent over 8 hours trying to get this Django site up and running on an Azure Website. I've nearly thrown in the towel would really appreciate some help.
So far I have tried numerous methods and followed different tutorials, but they have all yielded the same result. Here is the most recent tutorial I have followed: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/python/tutorials/web-sites-with-django/
Now that my site is "up", I am seeing a 500 error for all requests. Here is the error in the log:
The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.
Most likely causes:
IIS received the request; however, an internal error occurred during
the processing of the request. The root cause of this error depends on which mo
dule handles the request and what was happening in the worker process when this
error occurred. IIS was not able to access the web.config file for t
he Web site or application. This can occur if the NTFS permissions are set incor
rectly. IIS was not able to process configuration for the Web site o
r application. The authenticated user does not have permission to u
se this DLL. The request is mapped to a managed handler but the .
NET Extensibility Feature is not installed.
Things you can try:
Ensure that the NTFS permissions for the web.config file are correct
and allow access to the Web server's machine account. Check the ev
ent logs to see if any additional information was logged. Verify the p
ermissions for the DLL. Install the .NET Extensibility feature if th
e request is mapped to a managed handler. Create a tracing rule to tra
ck failed requests for this HTTP status code. For more information about creatin
g a tracing rule for failed requests, click here.
Please help!
I got it working by settings up a new django project from the azure gallery and changed some configs and such.
Edit: The configs I updated was just the name of my app. In my case I also updated the database config with the database I wanted to use in settings.py.
The lesson learned from this is that it is easier to initialize the app from Azure's "Create from gallery" feature, and then pull down the source and modify it via ftp or git to achieve the desired project structure/naming.

recieving error The file you are attempting to save or retrieve has been blocked from this Web site by the server administrators.<nativehr>0x800401e6

After building and deploying, checked the solution management from Central administration and it's up, a simple web service method that only created a Document Library list with a few columns when trying to retrieve the wsdl or even just by calling the WS fromt the adress since its a void method I recieve some error:
The file you are attempting to save or retrieve has been blocked from this Web site by the server administrators.<nativehr>0x800401e6</nativehr><nativestack></nativestack>
The very same method runs fine when called from another web service project that is already deployed so there's nothing wrong with the code. I'm most probably doing something wrong but can't figure.
The system is running on a win server 2008 with sharepoint 2010, framework 3.5 and "ANY" cpu mode.
thank you!
[edit]
Managed to get rid of the previous error by removing asmx extention from the blocked file list in central administration now instead I'm recieving a 404 error:
