suddste Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 hi brigante, yeah i did i forgot about that. will get it sorted soon as i can. johns - sounds like you updated the etis or not copied over the patch correctly it's on a clean install of the OS though, it cant be? Ive done it twice on both clean installs and it always seems to do the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnH Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 must be the patch no being correctly applied or something. i will have to look into it and remind myself when i get time off work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Right mate trying to do this.. Got up to step 7)it will now bring up a command prompt (black screen) and start doing some magic trickery I'm stuck on 8)now go back to the patch file and go into the activation file, select all the files, right click copy. Where is the patch file? The thing I copied to the ecat folder? Clicking patch but I can't open anything and I cant see any activation file to copy.

johnH Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 yeah basically its the command prompt thats the patch...does it come with any errors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Yup I've run the patch file, black screens popped up, no sign of any errors but i can't see an activation file or anything. Can you give me a directory for me to type into run or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeLondon Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 just installed it all now. amazing. thanks so much! Brigante, the directory was actually called 'activator' not activation. When you extracted the patch_2011-10 file, it should have given you a load of subdirectories... 5 called patch_xxxxx and 1 called 'activator'. if you copy all the files from the activator directory to the jre/bin folder (as per the notes) it should all work a treat!!

Somethings going wrong for me mate. The first few times I did it, I never got the activator or other directories, just the 3 or so files called patch something. But I've just done it again now and got all the activator directories etc. Seemed to be going well but now I've got to opening ecat on the desktop, only to open an internet explorer window saying this: HTTP Status 404 - type Status report message descriptionThe requested resource () is not available. Sun Java System Application Server 9.1_01 Can I get around this somehow or am I gonna have to uninstall and do it all again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Right disregard the last message. Uninstalled in safe mode, seems to have worked without a hitch this time, but when I opened ecat on the desktop it now opens in firefox not IE, put in all the details, but when I click ok nothing happens and I don't get any log in page.

MikeLondon Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Sounds like you're almost there! I had a little problem in that Google Chrome was my default browser and it didn't seem to want to work either. But then I opened IE, clicked the 'make IE default' button, and when I reopened Ecat... Voila! It's a serious bit of software. Huge thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Right set IE as default, it now worked without a hitch. Got into ecat, but IE kept being annoying popping up with turn intranet settings on, clicked it and it logged me out of ecat, when I try logging back in it says the password I changed it to is incorrect, it also says the old one is too so now I can't get back on it.

DaveRushton Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I found to get it to run i needed to set internet explorer as default, then load up the E-Cat. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I am just getting this message and can't get back into it: Welcome to FordEcat Login unsuccessful: invalid user name or password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveRushton Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Are you using the username and password the readme states? I get the same error, but i think i changed the pw and forgot it :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Yup it worked fine, I logged in with admin and sa, changed the password, logged in again with the new password and it worked. But then IE kept popping up at the bottom saying to change the intranet settings, I thought this was to turn the pop up blocker back on so I did it, but this just logged me out of ecat, now I cant log back in and it says the password or username is wrong. I've tried both the old a new password but it's just not working. Really hope I ain't gonna have to uninstall and do it all over again :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigante Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Right I've got back on it now after a lot of peeing about, but I keep getting messages popping up from IE, and if I click any of them even to close em it logs me out of ecat and won't let me back in. Sorry for clogging up your thread with trivial messages by the way mate and well done for the torrent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
