Publishing to a hosting site breaks the login

[davidcanar]

I downloaded the source code. I created the pages I wanted and configured the site the way I wanted. At the moment to publish this to my hosting it fails when I try to login. Adding code to figure out the error it is giving me this exception:

An invalid request URI was provided. Either the request URI must be an absolute URI or BaseAddress must be set. at System.Net.Http.HttpClient.PrepareRequestMessage(HttpRequestMessage request) at System.Net.Http.HttpClient.SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, HttpCompletionOption completionOption, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at Oqtane.Services.ServiceBase.PostJsonAsync[TValue,TResult](String uri, TValue value) at Oqtane.Services.ServiceBase.PostJsonAsync[T](String uri, T value) in D:\Projects\BlazorStore\trunk\bitkulki\oqtane.framework-dev-6.1.3\Oqtane.Client\Services\ServiceBase.cs:line 215 at Oqtane.Services.LogService.Log(Alias alias, Nullable1 pageId, Nullable1 moduleId, Nullable`1 userId, String category, String feature, LogFunction function, LogLevel level, Exception exception, String message, Object[] args) in D:\Projects\BlazorStore\trunk\bitkulki\oqtane.framework-dev-6.1.3\Oqtane.Client\Services\LogService.cs:line 74 at Oqtane.Modules.ModuleBase.Log(Alias alias, LogLevel level, LogFunction function, Exception exception, String message, Object[] args) in D:\Projects\BlazorStore\trunk\bitkulki\oqtane.framework-dev-6.1.3\Oqtane.Client\Modules\ModuleBase.cs:line 562 at Oqtane.Modules.ModuleBase.Log(Alias alias, LogLevel level, String function, Exception exception, String message, Object[] args) in D:\Projects\BlazorStore\trunk\bitkulki\oqtane.framework-dev-6.1.3\Oqtane.Client\Modules\ModuleBase.cs:line 552 at Oqtane.Modules.ModuleBase.Logger.LogError(Exception exception, String message, Object[] args) in D:\Projects\BlazorStore\trunk\bitkulki\oqtane.framework-dev-6.1.3\Oqtane.Client\Modules\ModuleBase.cs:line 646 at Oqtane.Modules.Admin.Login.Index.Login() in D:\Projects\BlazorStore\trunk\bitkulki\oqtane.framework-dev-6.1.3\Oqtane.Client\Modules\Admin\Login\Index.razor:line 263 at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.ComponentBase.CallStateHasChangedOnAsyncCompletion(Task task) at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.RenderTree.Renderer.GetErrorHandledTask(Task taskToHandle, ComponentState owningComponentState)

Does anyone know why?

I recommend installing the application using one of the official release packages, which ensures all required dependencies are included:

Official Releases:
https://github.com/oqtane/oqtane.framework/releases

For example, to install the latest official release (v6.1.2), download the following ZIP package:

Oqtane 6.1.2 Install Package:
https://github.com/oqtane/oqtane.framework/releases/download/v6.1.2/Oqtane.Framework.6.1.2.Install.zip

Please note that publishing the application directly from Visual Studio won't include everything needed to run Oqtane properly. Instead, Oqtane uses a custom packaging process handled by a batch script, which ensures a complete and functional build:

Packaging Script (release.cmd):
https://github.com/oqtane/oqtane.framework/blob/dev/Oqtane.Package/release.cmd

Thank you for your response. I tried using the Install Package on my server and I can't get to pass the very first install screen. Adding "DetailedErrors": "true" to the appsettings.config shows this error in the Javascript Console:

It is like the Client can't figure out the BaseAddress.

My server is a Windows 11 Pro using IIS. Thanks for your help.

I finally found the issue. My IIS didn't have installed "WebSocket Protocol".
I had to go to the "Turn Windows Features On/Off"

Internet Information Services
--> Application Development Features
----> WebSocket Protocol

Enabling this the error message goes away and it now works. Thanks again
