Hello,

My site is hosted in shared server and I am getting same error.I am using Kartris v2.7001 version.

As per my observation, this error is showing if user delay few second in checkout process (in checkout page), it is showing error and it is going to the error page.

I am getting error from admin same as mentioned.

From my local server it is working fine, no error.

I have changed some config like
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Admin:
<pages validateRequest="false" enableEventValidation="true" viewStateEncryptionMode="Always" />

general:
<pages validateRequest="false" enableEventValidation="false" viewStateEncryptionMode="Always" enableViewStateMac="false" controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="3.5" clientIDMode="Predictable">

<machineKey validationKey="D3D116AC6ADF297B69A60D399323C2AF14D3ADB4594B950BBC9BD712EB5F56B1EDCA424D5187F0A7495123FCE45689B311163EEE731694246826B3C0CA95D168" decryptionKey="AD53E582CD1DE6BADF47EEF057DBDF562C4C3A275715279415F096B7E3A59270" validation="SHA1" decryption="AES" />

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

Can you please suggest how I can resolve this issue?

Please help...

Thanks,
Raju

Thank you for your replies.
I am not using a farm or anything similar; just the one pc.
After spending a lot of time researching this online I changed the permissionto "Everyone" for folder "C:\initpub" and it is nowworking.

But I am not sure it will help others because I did a fewother changes like running "System Mechanic" to clear out 438 registryerrors! And System Mechanic did some other stuff too.

Next time I will use a more scientific approach; change onething at a time and see the results. This way I will be able to guide others bydocumenting the steps.

I will be using this Shopping Cart for our website (www.caraclean.com; sorry to mention it butit always helps with seo). It is 6 years old and written in ASP.Net 1.1.

This would mean getting to know Kartris like the back of myhand before being able to customize it for us.

Can you point me to any links to articles describing thecart from a developer angle?

I will try my best to document the changes I am making andpost them here in days (looks like months really) to come.

I have seen this viewstate mac error, generally two situations:

1. web farm or similar as the error mentions

2. occasionally if you submit a partially formed page

But strange that it happens with localhost, which I assume isn't a web farm.

From the port number quoted, I think you're installing this on the IIS express version rather than full IIS, so the user permissions might be different and the adjustments you made are probably to IIS. CHeck the settings of the web platform installer, I think there is an option to set whether you install on IIS or IIS Express - try to choose IIS if you can.

I've never seen that error before, but it mentions a server farm.

Can you give some info about where you are installing this... Is it on a server farm? Or your own machine running locally, or a virtual server, etc?

I have installed Kartris using the platform installer.
I have changed the Application Pool to Framework 4.0.
I have added NetworkService Account with full access.

The error occurs after clicking  "Next" in "Step 3 - Connection String" (browser shows "http://localhost/Kartris/Admin/Install.aspx").
The server name was entered as "localhost\sqlexpress" and that database name is "kartris1".

Here is the error I get:

Does anyone know what is going on here? The solution online require editing web.config but I suspect I do not have to do this and I am doing something wrong! Thanks.
