 Unable to open / login in eScan Web Console:

 Refer to the solutions listed below for the error messages you may come across while opening or while logging into the Web Console.

  

Error:

500 Internal Server Error 

Probable cause:

Go to  <Program Files\Common Files\MicroWorld\Apache2\logs>

Check the size of the .log files. Most probably, the size of the log files has exceeded 1 GB. Or the drive in which this directory resides is full.

 Solution:

Open Services by executing the command “services.msc” and stop eScan-Apache service.

Move the log files to a new location and then start the eScan-Apache service.

************************************************************************************************************************

 

Error:

Page cannot be displayed 404 error

 

Go to <Program Files\Common Files\Microworld\Apache2> 

Verify whether all the Files/Directories have been installed correctly.

Verify whether default.htm resides in root directory of Apache2

Verify whether the user is using http or https while browsing

************************************************************************************************************************

 

Error:

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

 

Probable Cause:
eScan-Apache service missing from Services.msc

Solution: 

Open registry Editor for modification.

Pause eScan protection otherwise you will not be able to modify the registry entry.

Then browse to the below path in the registry:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

 

Select the key eScan-Apache and right-click on it and click on "Rename".

Rename it to eScan-Apache-OLD

 

Now, resume eScan protection and re-install eScan and restart the pc once the installation is completed.

Solution:

If possible, copy the file from other system having eScan Server installed on it.

"Program Files\Common Files\Microworld\Apache2\bin\ssl\"

 

Additionally, verify for the existence of serials.txt and database.txt in "Program Files\Common Files\Microworld\Apache2\bin" directory.

 

If none of these exist then execute ssl_cert.exe from the folder "Program Files\Common Files\Microworld\Apache2\bin"

Error:

Unable to connect to database

 

Checklist to resolve "Unable to connect to database" error:

 

  1. Presence of SQL Service:

Open services.msc and check whether the service “MSSQL$ESCANSQLSERVER” is running or not.

If found not running, then check the Event Viewer for any error.

 

 

Check ERRORLOG in the path C:\PROGRAM FILES\MSSQL1.0\MSSQL\LOG\ (Assuming that SQL is installedin C drive)

 

 2.  SQL SA Password:

Check the password of SQL Server in the registry under HKLM\Software\Microworld\eScan for

        Windows\Webconsole

 

    Use DBconnectivity tool to connect to the database.

    (Note: DBconnectivity.exe will be present in eScan folder and it should be executed from the  

    eScan folder only.)

 

     If DBconnectivity gives error as "Invalid Connection String Attribute" then check for SA   

     password.  Confirm with the customer for the existence of SQL installation whether it was   

     installed by the default “Recommended” option of eScan Server installation or using the existing  

     instance of SQL already available on that pc.

    

     If the SQL is installed by eScan Server installation then the password of SA should be the default  

     one. Rename the key named webconsole to webconsole-OLD found under    

     HKLM\Software\Microworld\eScan for windows, and then run WMCinst.exe setup form  

     eScan folder. Choose existing instance for SQL and proceed further to complete the installation.

 

3.   Compressed database:

SQL database may be compressed. Use DBconnectivity to connect to the database.

If it gives error as  "Database 'eWconsole_Db' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space", then follow the below procedure to fix it.

 

Also, open Event Viewer. Expand "Application" and check the latest event related to SQLServer:

You may find the below event id.

 

Event ID: 5118
MSSQL$ESCANSQLSERV

Description:
The file C:\Program Files\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\eWconsole_Db_log.LDF" is compressed but does not reside in a read-only database or filegroup. The file must be decompressed.

 

Solution:
You need to set the decompression option of the files by unchecking the "compress" option from the properties of the below mentioned files.

 

To do this, first stop ESCANSQLSERVER service from services.msc so that you will be able to do the modifications.

 

Then open Windows Explorer, browse to C:\Program Files\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA and then you need to uncheck the option of "compress" for the below 2 files:

 

eWconsole_Db.mdf
eWconsole_Db_log.LDF

 

Right click on the files one by one or select them together and click on Properties, then on "Advanced". Uncheck the option "Compress contents to save disk space".

 

Restart ESCANSQLSERVER service and then you should be able to login in the webconsole successfully.

 

4.   Corrupted SQL database:    

 The database of SQL may be corrupted. Use DBconnectivity to connect to the database and check for the error shown.

Check for the error found in ERRORLOG in the path C:\PROGRAM FILES\MSSQL1.0\MSSQL\LOG\ (Assumingthat SQL is installed in C drive)

 

 

If Errorlog file shows error as:

 “Error: 9003, The log scan number (-:-:-) passed to log scan in database 'master' is not valid. This error may indicate data corruption or that the log file (.ldf) does not match the data file (.mdf). If this error occurred during replication, re-create the publication. Otherwise, restore from backup if the problem results in a failure during startup. Cannot recover the master database. SQL Server is unable to run. Restore master from a full backup, repair it, or rebuild it.”

 

Solution:

 

Go to c:\program files\mssql.1\mssql\data\ (Assuming that SQL is installed in C drive) and rename the files master.mdf and mastlog.ldf to master.mdf_ and mastlog.ldf_.

Then go to c:\program files\mssql.1\mssql\template data> and copy master.mdf and mastlog.ldf to c:\program files\mssql.1\mssql\data> . Then start the SQL service from services.msc.

Error:

Service is not running :

 

Check in task manager whether the process eserv.exe is running or not. If not then restart that computer once and make sure eserv.exe is running in task manager and you can view eScan Management Console iocn on the task bar/notification area. Also, check whether the eScan Management-Console service "escan-eserv" is showing as Started or not in services.msc.

 

Other Scenario 1:

While opening eScan web console (http://localhost:10443), it displays "Service is not running" and unable to login in web console.

 

-eScan Corporate v11.0.1139.953 was installed, but the escan console when tried to open (eserv.exe) showed of version 10.

So wait for few minutes and then login in the console from other computer and you will be able to login in the console.

For 32 bit OS:

HKLM\Software\Microworld\eScan for windows\webconsole.

Rename the string key“Sqlserverip” to some other name

 

For 64 Bit OS:

HKLM\Software\WOW6432node\Microworld\eScan for windows\webconsole.

Rename the string “Sqlserverip” to some other name

 

7. Close registry editor
