Viewer won't launch - error in the pathing / crystal scripts?

Hi,
I've developed a parameterized report (CR 2011). I created a Command that utilizes SQL selects. I upload the .rpt to my web application successfully. When I run the report, in my app, the dynamic parameters come up first and work as expected. Once I've selected the parameters and then click OK to run the report the following error comes up:
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: Report file /var/www/vhosts/jobutrax.com/symfony/releases/staging/shared/reports/null not found---- Error code:-2147215356 Error code name:fileNotOpened
We are using a Java Servlet to capture the information and send it to the Java Report Viewer Web Application. Itu2019s all running on Tomcat on CentOS Linux.
Any idea what could be causing this and how to remedy?
thx!
Mark

Hello Mark.
Have you confirmed that your report is lcoated in the folder "/var/www/vhosts/jobutrax.com/symfony/releases/staging/shared/reports/"?
Additionally, has the report name been set. It sounds like it is looking for a report named "null".
Regards.

I want to load Firefox on my computer at home, which is not connected to the internet. I want to download Firefox to my flashdrive and then add it to my computer at home. When I try to download Firefox, it won't let me change the path of where it download

I want to download Firefox on a flashdrive so I can then download it to my home computer which is not connected to the internet. When I download Firefox, it won't let me change the path and so tries to download on a public computer, which isn't allowed. The reason I want it on my home computer is because I'm creating web pages and I want to view my html pages using a variety of browsers, including Firefox.

From another computer, go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/, click "Free download" button, click "Save File" button, select your flash drive in "Save as" window. "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" file will be saved in your flash drive.
You just need to insert it in your new computer and double-click on "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" from Windows Explorer and follow instructions.

Cannot Update - Error 1324: The path New Folder or the volume is invalid. Please enter it again.

I have been trying to update Adobe reader but every time i trie to this message shows up: Error 1324: The path New Folder or the volume is invalid. Please enter it again. I am running on Windows XP SP3 and using the latest firefox browser. I am not sure if this question has already been answered in this forum so if it has a link to the thread would be appreciated.

For investigating more on this issue we would need the install log. For creating install log follow the below steps:
1. Go to start menu and run command
2. Type Regedit and press enter key
3. Go to the following path and create keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
Reg_SZ: Logging
Value: voicewarmupx
then Install Reader X update. Once you get the error message get the snapshot of error message and then Type %temp% and hit enter. Get the file name as MSI----
Provide the snapshot of error message as well as MSI log.

Just trying out my new mac but email won't load, error says "The mail server denied access to the account because an administrator or other mail client was using it when Mail tried to log in. Try again later." A little lock is beside the email inbox

Just trying out my new mac but email won't load, error says "The mail server denied access to the account because an administrator or other mail client was using it when Mail tried to log in. Try again later." A little lock is beside the email inbox account, no password prompted and account is online and enabled... Thoughts?

Have you tried clicking on the lock to see it it will then ask for a passwored. Otherwise, try reblooting.

Updated iTunes to 9.2, now application won't launch - Error #13005

Help! I just updated my itunes to 9.2 and now it won't launch. An error window comes up and tells me it's due to an unknown error # 13005? I tried re-installing it to fix it but it still won't. Please help. I'm on the white 13' Macbook, running OS X 10.6.4. I have my itunes library in my external HD. Dying to get this fixed any help would be appreciated.

try these user tips:
try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.
and, if you have flip4mac installed
I found that the TSLicense plugin was causing the problem.
From the log:
PlugIn Path: /Library/Frameworks/TSLicense.framework/Versions/A/TSLicense
PlugIn Identifier: net.telestream.license
This pIugin is installed with the Flip4Mac Windows Media Components. I solved the problem by uninstalling the WM Components via the uninstaller at /Applications/Flip4Mac/Flip4Mac WMV Uninstaller.pkg, after which iTunes opens successfully.

AppleWorks 6 won't launch -invalid/non existent path

Appleworks 6 was working fine until a few days ago, now it will not launch--just jumps once or twice, and then nothing. Console log says, "launch failed because the application path is invalid or non-existent" Now I can't open my work-related documents at all. Please help!

Hi, Barry,
Thank you for your reply--I tried your suggestions--and it did not work.
I can open saved documents in TextEdit, but not at all in AppleWorks6. Cannot access anything at all, including templates in AppleWorks6. I followed the threads and tried other suggestions, and Nothing!.
I can see AppleWorks in finder, with all necessary folders in a row (I didn't move any), but when I try to open AppleWorks, it's as if it didn't exist at all. Plus, lots of documents won't even open in Adobe reader, either--and I used to be able to, before.
I am so behind my work--do I have to dig out my typewriter?
I appreciate your help.
Thank you.

HELP! Anyone have ANY idea what the above lingo is re CSS and why it won't launch without popping up a window with this error, whatever it is??
I'm days into this reinstall and this is my "last" hangup / called support and they won't touch it since i didn't BUILD it with Windows 7 from them... just don't get this mindset. Only spent 5 digits (around $20,000 +) with Lenovo so far last year / may be the last dollar - I've run into many issues with support lately, for one the T61p I have has had 2 sys boards swapped, processor, 2 keyboards (after "loose screws from sys board swap" were found rolling around inside - yes, loose) among many other issues / only TP I've ever had issues with / want to stay with them, but if I have to fight city hall to swap out a lemon, heading out into the wild blue.

Itunes won't launch...the computer thinks it has

I recently upgraded to the latest version of itunes. The program RARELY ever launches. The funny thing though is that the dock "thinks" the program has launched. As the force quit option comes up if you hold the mouse button down over the itunes icon on the dock.
I have more success launching from the Applications menu, but even there it rarely ever launches. I never get an error message because again the computer "thinks" the program is running. But no program screens to interface with ever pop up.
I'm having the EXACT same problem with Quick Time.

It sounds like you may have a system corruption, and maybe you need to reinstall the system folders from your start-up cd

entire path of what??

i'm pretty sure Katrina is asking you about this because this installer error usually shows up on 2000 boxes. see:

so if we have to finesse this in your case, it's useful to know precisely what path is being referenced by the error.

TS5376 Help! I can't fix or uninstall/reinstall iTunes without getting this error message: "The path \C\Users\(my name)\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\iTunes64msi.' cannot be found." So I can't remove iTunes.

Here's the complete message:
"The path \C\Users\(my name)\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\iTunes64msi.' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes64.msi' in a folder in which you can uninstall the product from iTunes."
So I'm stuck in this loop in which I can't download an update, can't remove iTunes to reinstall, and can't use iTunes currently as it shuts down at the drop of a hat. Am I hopeless or is there a fix I can find?

See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. Use the same advice as in note 1 but for iTunes. Try the MS fixit, or leave it in place and go to the next step.

Oy!
Why the heck did you do that, James?
I said highlight the icon of the bloody HARD DRIVE you want to designate as a scratch drive; not the darned Photoshop application icon!
CHECK the "Ignore ownership on this volume" box.

So what??? If you want to do editing on another drive you can still launch the one and only copy that will work on your bloody machine, namely the one installed and activated on your startup drive.
Any other copies of Photoshop you have installed on different drives attached to your computer WILL NOT BE ACTIVATED, they won't even launch, they won't work at all! However, they will confuse the hell out of the working copy of Photoshop.
When you edit video you can just boot off the same startup drive. Who led you on that totally screwed path? Had you ever used a Mac before? You have to learn Mac 101.
You desperately need to get this book [CLICK HERE] and study it carefully.

ITunes Won't Launch: Error -50

I've just installed iTunes 7 on both my PowerMac and PowerBook both running 10.4.7 and the new QuickTime 7.1.3. On both computers, iTunes would crash after I launch it and click on "Agree" in the license screen. When it crashes it says iTunes won't open because of error -50.
Help would be appreciated.

I got the exact same error. Please help! Similar problem: I have a Powerbook G4 with 10.4.7 and Quicktime 7.1.2 and got an error (-50) when I launched iTunes 7

Process Viewer won't launch

Using OS 10.2.4 on 933 MHzG4 1.25 GB RAM
I have been using Process Viewer to check memory use and CPU use whenever I get the spinning beachball.
About 2 weeks ago it first failed to launch with "Error 100" message.
Now, I'm not getting that. Nothing happens when I click on it and I don't see any activity on Console Log
I've used Disk Utility to fix Preferences on the partition with the OS on it and then repeated this to make sure nothing has been missed. No other applications show launch problems. I can launch Console Log and Terminal OK and run PhotoShop, browsers, email Eudora.
I did recently upgrade "A Better Finder Rename" and have not tried to disable this or revert to the prior version to see if this is a problem and will do this and will add to this post when I have results.
Meanwhile, any ideas?

Bingo! The pref trash didn't work and logging on with
another account WAS able to launch Process Viewer
with no problem.
This result indicates that the problem is somehow related to your account. It might be some preference file in your account, something in your startup items or something else unique to your account that is causing the problem. Since Process Viewer works in another account, we can conclude that the software for that app is okay.
I'm a fairly regular user of DiskWarrior to check
files/rebuild and even more prevalently use Disk
Utility to repair permissions (what's the sense of
verifying, I'm going to fix it anyway) and they
didn't find any problems. I guess there are internal
code problems that these don't access/check.
These are good things to do and can catch a variety of problems. One other thing that you might consider is to clean the caches in your account. Software that you can use for that is discussed in Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption.
I had to redo my OS a few months ago and moving
prefs from old OS to the new install was tedious to
say the least. I felt that I had to do this to
regain prefs and setup mods I made to various
utilities and applications.
If your problem had started right after this, I would suspect that it was related to this move. However, you said that the problem started a few weeks ago, so I see little reason the move as a cause of your problem.
Wiil I run the risk of contaminating the new
account with whatever was the problem with the old
one? Any ideas on how to avoid this?
By the new account, I assume that you mean the one that you tested Process Viewer in as discussed at the start of your message. This is a tough call. Sometimes, files in a user account become corrupted and cause bizarre problems with an app. If that is what happened to you, then you will not be contaminating a new account by starting to use it. However, the problem might also be related to some software that you are using only in your own account. If you start using that software in another account, you would probably start having problems again. So, if you have any software that falls in this category, my advice would be to start slowly - add one item at a time and see if you can run for a while without a problem. Also, you said that you did recently upgrade "A Better Finder Rename". If this was done shortly before your problem started, I would definitely urge you to remove this code from your system and see if the problem goes away.
A couple of other things to try if there is no joy at this point:
- try a Safe Boot as described in Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode. That disables certain extensions to your system. If you can run Process Monitor okay after a Safe Boot, then there are some directories to check for problem files. But, we can cross that bridge later. Also, even if a Safe Boot works, you probably will not want to run that way for very long, because it disables some things that you probably need - such as printing, perhaps wireless capability and more.
- Try disabling your login items as set in System Preferences > Accounts > Your Account >Startup Items (or perhaps Login Items). If you have items shown there, you can disable them by selecting them with the mouse and then clicking the "-" sign.
I hope something here helps you,

Viewer won't launch - error in the pathing / crystal scripts?
