Just restore your backup, no problem. You can start from scratch by uninstalling CastleOS and deleting that folder in ProgramData, but you shouldn't need to.


I tried un installing and reinstalling CastleOS, and with a fresh configuration file, the service starts successfully, but now I still just get a plain white page,, when I attempt to access CastleOS locally, or a picture of a castle on the app.

Thanks,
Chris


I just tried the latest beta you posted, and it seems the core service is still not launching correctly for me. please see the message from the windows event viewer below.

I just checked the configuration.xml, and it says lightwaverf enabled=false. so that doesnt seem to be the problem.

You have insteon enabled, correct? Looks like they are both trying to use the same port. But I'm not sure why you get this error and no one else does. Everyone using INSTEON should get it, including me.

I moved the offending code, so at least this will only cause an error if trying to use the INSTEON hub and Lightwave hub at the same time, which no one is attempting. Will be posting an update tonight.

Did the REST APIs change with the 2.0 Beta load? I'm using the REST APIs with the PHP wrappers Phil Hawthorne came up with, and they no longer work.

The REST APIs are unchanged, but there was a beta that inadvertently broke the web service. You might have grabbed that. Another was posted this afternoon that has that fixed.

Just installed last nights Beta. Won't let me login; I noticed it changed the title page, but the config file looks good with correct username/passwd. I uninstalled it and then installed 9/8/2016 Beta. It lets me login. But REST APIs still don't work.

A file copy error resulted in the wrong beta version getting posted (the dev version was posted instead of the release version). An update has been posted.

I'll check on the REST to see if something is failing there.

Re REST API, from my Linux server I can retrieve a list of devices. But when I try to turn one of them on or off it fails.

Just installed the beta update 1.3.3000.0 white screen, service IS started, no errors in Config file, no errors in windows event viewer.
Installing 1.3.3001.0 and will try again...

frustrated...

The newest installation is hanging up, it cannot stop the COS core service nor can I, and it will not finish installing....

Why do I do this to myself...

What is the latest Beta build number? I currently have 1.3.3021, which does not appear to be the latest. However, I am not getting that nice banner announcement telling me a new Beta is available. Also, is it posted to the same location announced in the first post here, or is it somewhere else?

We're up to 1.3.3031. The banner announcement is shown for the weeklies, not the dailies. The dailies are mainly to fix individual bugs that are reported, while the weeklies are stable releases that we're looking for wider testing to find issues. The dailies are posted to the beta shared folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4ZX9h5IVCtnREk0TnZ2eldUWTQ?usp=sharing

Hey Tommy, I checked the REST API and it seems to be working as expected. I'd be happy to help figure out what's going on with your setup, can you send me a copy of your code that uses the REST API?

Hi Chris, After downloading 1.3.3165 and having to upgrade .NET, I find that the REST APIs are no longer working. Recall I sent you the PHP code (using Phil Hawthorne's wrapper) from this thread back in September. Its the same code. This time I can't even retrieve the devices; The server is returning an error.

Hey Tommy, I can unfortunately confirm this, and at the moment it's out of our control. The upgrade to .NET 4.6 is the cause, there is a bug in the .NET 4.6 framework that is causing this. I've submitted to MS support to try to find a workaround. Will keep you posted ASAP...

Last night's release has a fix for this. I was able to force CastleOS/Windows to use the old bug free version of the .NET files, rather than the new one Microsoft broke. Lot's of people upset at Microsoft but thankfully the workaround was simple for us.
