WebSTAR Lasso Publisher Troubleshooting

Errors can be caused by a variety of problems that may pertain to the database, configuration of WebSTAR, incorrect installation of WebSTAR Lasso Publisher, LDML coding errors, etc.

Installation

When you launch WebSTAR, WebSTAR Lasso Publisher and its various modules display their initialization status in the status window. When WebSTAR Lasso Publisher is correctly installed and loaded, you should see the following lines displayed at startup:

 

WebSTAR Lasso Publisher: Loading Tag Modules
 
 Loaded " Lasso_Tags.mod" module successfully.
 
 Loaded "DB_Info_Tags.mod" module successfully.
 
WebSTAR Lasso Publisher: 6/5/1999 5:42:01 PM New Lasso Tag Parser is ON.
 
 Loaded "NewParser_On.mod" module successfully.
 
WebSTAR Lasso Publisher: Loading DataSource Modules
 
 Loaded "FM_DataSource.mod" module successfully.
 
 Loaded "Send_Mail_DataSource.mod" module successfully.

If you don't see these messages, check to see if another version of Lasso is installed. If not, try reinstalling the WebSTAR Lasso Publisher using the WebSTAR Server Suite Installer.

Debugging Errors

When Lasso encounters a problem it will return the error page you specified with the -AnyError , -NoResultsError , or -AddError tags.

To pinpoint what is causing the problem you're experiencing, place the substitution tag [Error_CurrentError] on your error page. Lasso will insert the specific error name in place of the tag when the error page is displayed. Armed with that information, you can efficiently target your troubleshooting efforts.
