Abyss 2 back to Abyss 1.2.1.0

[parkinsonj]

I downloaded Abyss 2 as it was time for an update, I thought.
However I was having nothing but problems with this: The Website was fine, nothing new; however I was not able to administer it from the Admin view. Problems with the port, console was timing out etc. So I decided to perform a system roll back to the original version, 1.2.1.0 (System Restore via Win XP System Utility: %SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe)

All would appear to have come back fine, except for the ser server.

The problem that I have now is as follows:

---------------------------------------------------------
Abyss Web Server X1 (v 1.2.1.0)
Copyright © Aprelium Technologies - 2001-2003

Unknown option 'C:\Program'

The Web server is not running.
The console is not running.
---------------------------------------------------------

C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\abyss.conf points to
C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\

I'm just unable to start the web server service from running.
OS: Windows
Abyss Web Server X1 (v 1.2.1.0)
Frustrated: Very

Has anyone come across this in the past or know the/a solution?

Thanks in advance
Jon

Don't ever trust Windows Restore to bring your Server Back. Sometimes it works
and sometimes it doesn't. I recommend installing Abyss Web Server: X1 v2 and
again open the Abyss console and configure IP Address controle to let you in.

Console Configuration -> IP Address Control

parkinsonj,

The new version sets more constraints on the console access to improve the security. So you should probably enable access to all IP addresses to see the console from any computer (local or remote).

By the way, you cannot use abyss.conf from version 2 on an older version. So we recommend remaining with version 2 and fixing the configuration of the console.

Thank you for the Windows Information, a have learnt the hard way about the system rollbacks.

You wrote “I recommend installing Abyss Web Server: X1”
I agree this may be the solution; however when you try to download it from the Aprelium Website http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/download.php and select the option “Download Abyss Web Server X1 for Windows from Download.com” you are then pointed to what you think is Version 1 at (http://www.download.com/3000-2165-10079200.html)
However this is in fact version 2.

Unfortunately I didn’t realise till I installed it. However this is now back on my system and so I will try to trouble shoot it this time.

So Now I have version 2 back.

------------------------------------------------------------
Abyss Web Server X1 (v 2.0.0.20)
Copyright © Aprelium Technologies - 2001-2005


-- Default host on port 80 is up and running (Local URL http://127.0.0.1)
Console local URL: http://127.0.0.1:10005
------------------------------------------------------------

Great I think at least it says it is running.
So I go to select menu option “Console” and then “View” nothing happens. A browser window pops up but times out over a few minutes.

I open the Console -> Settings and select “auto detect“ this is successful but again A browser window pops up but times out over a few minutes.

I think okay, so I try to get to my web server by entering the URL, this works.

I check what applications are using what ports, Abysse is active on port 80. Check the NAT and all is okay, no IP problems no ISP issues.

| NAME | PID | PROTOCOL | LOCAL | REMOTE ADDRESS | REMOTE | PORT STATUS |
| abyssws.exe | 432 | TCP | 80 | 0.0.0.0 | 0 | LISTENING |
| abyssws.exe | 432 | TCP | 10005 | 0.0.0.0 | 0 | LISTENING |

So my question is: how do I access the system console?

parkinsonj,

First of all, X1 and X2 are not for the version. X1 refers to the personal edition (the free one) and X2 is the professional edition.

The version is another thing. It is displayed in the main window or in the console. For example, in the excerpt below, your version is 2.0.0.20:
