I first posted this to my Blogspot blog. The most
recent update is for a specific DWA 7 error - and I&os;m planning on adding some stuff from DWA 8. This post generally ranks
high on my search engine hits, so I like to keep it updated from time
to time. Hopefully it&os;s helping people get these issues resolved. If
you know of a resolution that&os;s not listed, please let me know! This
first entry is one that happens pretty frequently. An alternate title
could be "iNotes Warning" from previous versions. This document
contains two sections. One is a general information section and the
other is a section on steps to correct the error(hopefully). Please see
the bottom for a change log.
General Information:
The full error message is: "Microsoft
Internet Explorer Domino Web Access Warning. Sorry, we were unable to
process your request at this time. If you are unable to continue
working in your mail file, please dismiss this warning and then select
View, Refresh from your browser&os;s menu."
In Domino Web Access (DWA) 7.0 and higher, there is a new error message that reads "The
installation of Domino Web Access 7 Control has been blocked or
declined by the user. Do you want to use this on subsequent Domino Web
Access pages?" A specific correction for this can be to ensure
that the user has at least Power-User authority. Another possible
correction is to simply add the DWA server to Internet Explorer&os;s
Trusted sites zone.
Recently,
the top two on the following list have been what we have seen
to cause more issues. If the computers are external
(employees&os; home PC), then I would definitely bank on them having
spyware.
- Disable Pop-Up blocker - Clean up spyware (use application such as Spybot and/or AdAware) -
Add DWA server to Internet Explorer&os;s Trusted Sites zone (this may be a
good idea for any other intranet servers or via an Active Directory
policy) - Clear out Java Cache by running C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_0X\bin\javacpl.exe ---Click "Delete Files" then click "OK". ---*if there are different versions, do this for each version or uninstall older versions and leave only the newest copy. - Clear out Windows temp folders. --- C:\Temp--- C:\Documents and Settings\USER PROFILE\Local Settings\Temp --- C:\Documents and Settings\USER PROFILE\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files --- C:\Winnt\Temp --- *Clear out the Temp/Temp. Internet Files for each user listed in the Documents and Settings folder. - Reset IE to default settings. --- Right Click on the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop or go to Control Panel and open Internet Options. --- Click on the Programs Tab. Then click the Reset Web Settings button. Uncheck "Also reset my home page" then click "OK". -
Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Disable "Use HTTP 1.1"
(you may need to enable it because sometimes IE just doesn&os;t like the
setting. I have actually seen it start working by enabling this option.) - Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Disable "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" - Download the MSXML 4.0 SP2. This link will get you to the download. I selected the msxml.msi. - Clear Browser Cache - Delete iNotes or Domino Web Access class file - If one is currently installed, upgrade to the latest Sun JVM - Windows Update (also verify that a recent Windows Update has not broken this!) - Load Convert, Fixup, Updall, and Compact against the mailfile - Reboot - Defrag - Run a tool such as Symantec/Norton WinDoctor
Change Log: 08/14/2006: Added information regarding Java Cache, Temp Folders, and Resetting IE defaults. 04/14/2006: Added information regarding technotes 1228480 and 1161877. Added
comment to Windows Update line to state that a recent update may be
causing the problem. I have personally seen this in 2004 and the link
in the text above is from April 2006.
