StoreFront - Receiver for Web error "unable to refresh"

[Kevin Bennett]

Hi All,

 

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction to resolve an issue. I am getting an error message 'unable to refresh' within Receiver for Web in StoreFront.

 

I had been looking at the system.webServer/defaultDocument in Configuration Editor via IIS and made a change to my receiver web site.

 

This mucked up the site. So I went into StoreFront>Receiver for Web and selected the option to delete the website to start over again.

 

Now every time I select  Receiver for Web in StoreFront I get the error message "unable to refresh'

 

in the eventviewr I get the following message:

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

An error occured during refresh.

An error occurred running the command: 'Get-DSWebReceiversSummary' 

Property 'defaultDocument' cannot be found on this object. Make sure that it exists.

At C:\Program Files\Citrix\Receiver StoreFront\Management\Cmdlets\WebReceiverModule.psm1:308 char:5

+     $defaultPage = $xml.configuration.'system.webserver'.defaultDocument.files.a ...

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Property 'defaultDocument' cannot be found on this object. Make sure that it exists.

 

Citrix.DeliveryServices.PowerShell.Command.RunnerInterfaces.Exceptions.PowerShellExecutionException: An error occurred running the command: 'Get-DSWebReceiversSummary' 

Property 'defaultDocument' cannot be found on this object. Make sure that it exists.

At C:\Program Files\Citrix\Receiver StoreFront\Management\Cmdlets\WebReceiverModule.psm1:308 char:5

+     $defaultPage = $xml.configuration.'system.webserver'.defaultDocument.files.a ...

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The line from line 308 in the WebReceiverModule.psm1 is '$defaultPage = $xml.configuration.'system.webserver'.defaultDocument.files.add.value'

 

Any advise would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

This is now resolved. Was due to a missing web.config file.

[Balaji Muthukrishnan]

In our case "unable to refresh" error when accessing Receiver for Web node in storefront console was due to customizing the web.config file for the respective storeweb folder.

 

we opened inetmgr - Default website - Citrix - accessed storeweb - Default document

 

Select revert from parent on the right pane

deleted default.htm from the list

Added default.htm maunally

stopped and started the IIS service

 

bingo refresh Receiver for Web node. you will get it back

Dear mbalajitry

 

your trick save my day..

I was upgrading SF from 3.0.4000.1 to 3.12.2000.8.

After the upgrade the console shows "Unable to refresh" and doing your trick it works again...

This is still a valid fix! Nice job!
