Dear All
Forgive me for such a newbie question.. I've searched around the forums as well as Google but I cannot find the answer to my very easy question:
I have installed the SAP portal developer toolkit (PDK) for Visual Studio 2005. I also installed the "SAP Portal Runtime for .NET" on my development PC. (Windows XP).
Here's the real newbie question:
Do I need an instance of the Enterprise Portal installed somewhere for me to be able to locally debug the .ascx pages created in Visual Studio? The diagram I saw in the installation guide seemed to suggest that, by using the runtime for .net, there was no need for an enterprise portal (except to deploy).
So is this correct?
There is a "SAP" section in my Server Explorer inside Visual Studio. Within there is a "Portals" group, and within there is a "portal" entry. This was there after I installed the .net portal runtime, it is not something I added in.
However it doesn't seem to work... When you right-click and press "Refresh" you see "The server committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseStatusLine"; which is also the error I see when I try to locally debug portal content (.ascx) pages.
Looking at the properties, the "Host" is set to "localhost", the "Port" is set to 8050 (which is the port configured in the .net runtime); the "Username" is ".SapPortal" which is the local user I created when I installed the portal runtime as per the installation instructions; Password is ******** (the password for the user) and TimeOut is 15 (RememberPassword = true).
Should I not be pointing this to the port used by the .net portal runtime?
What should this server be pointing to so I can "refresh" it?
I did try to download the notes from
...But this gives a 404, and I can't find any documentation anywhere else 😔
Thanks a lot for the assistance.
