Error when starting client - 'text/html; charset=utf-8',

Post by kpaskins » Mon Feb 22, 2016 5:27 am

Hi,

When I launch Vault client, I receive the below error message. If I click 'ok', it lets me into my repository as normal. Is this message anything to worry about and how do I stop it from appearing?

Previous to this, we had a problem with an old password being used in "web.config" which lives in 'c$\Inetpub\wwwroot\VaultService' so I wondered if this had anything to do with it?

Error msg:

Client found response content type of 'text/html; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text/xml'.
The request failed with the error message:
--
<html>
<head>
<title>Runtime Error</title>
<style>
body {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size: .7em;color:black;}
p {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;color:black;margin-top: -5px}
b {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:bold;color:black;margin-top: -5px}
H1 { font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size:18pt;color:red }

.error {margin-bottom: 10px;}
.expandable { text-decoration:underline; font-weight:bold; color:navy; cursor:hand; }
</style>
</head>

<span><H1>Server Error in '/VaultPro' Application.<hr width=100% size=1 color=silver></H1>

<h2> <i>Runtime Error</i> </h2></span>

<font face="Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, SunSans-Regular, sans-serif ">

<b> Description: </b>An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
<br><br>

<b>Details:</b> To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".<br><br>

<table width=100% bgcolor="#ffffcc">
<tr>
<td>
<code><pre>

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration></pre></code>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

<br>

<b>Notes:</b> The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.<br><br>

<table width=100% bgcolor="#ffffcc">
<tr>
<td>
<code><pre>

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration></pre></code>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

<br>

</body>
</html>

--.

Thanks

This could be a problem with one of the plugins.

Check your Vault server log found on the Vault server at %windir%\temp\sgvault\sgvault.log for errors around the time that you log in. What do you see?

You might also check the URLs configured for plugins. More details can be found in the Vault Plugin Configuration Guide.

Each service has its own web.config as well under C:\inetpub\wwwroot\vaultservice\<service to check>. You might need to check those for correct passwords.
