Crystal Report Issue with IIS - ( bobj is undefined , Crystal report not displaying )

I have crystal report 2010 installed with VS 2010.i have created a crystal report which is works fine in the localhost but the issue is once i publish my website to IIS the report is never displayed.it just display a blank page.i checked my published folder even the .rpt file is not there.can any one tell me how to resolve this issue?

Solution

The solution is to work on IIS this way:

• Copy aspnet_client folder from c:\inetpub\wwwroot folder to the new website root folder.

or (first one is easier, second one is better for maintenance)

• Create a virtual directory called aspnet_client that points to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client inside the new website

Problem analysis

It's possible to analyze the problem

• using client tools (debug window of browser)

GET http://someserver:20080/aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/crystalreportviewers13/js/crviewer/crv.js 403 (Forbidden)
GET http://someserver:20080/aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/crystalreportviewers13/js/crviewer/images/style.css 403 (Forbidden)

• or server tool (IIS log , on WIN2003 is placed in %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC###\ on WIN2008 C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC###).

Cause the problem

Crystal Reports runtime is installed, but your application is not running under default web site.

• In both cases i found that crv.js and style.css some files were not served;
• these files are placed by CR installer in wwwroot\aspnet_client folder, but for some reasons they cannot be reached;
• In my case the reason is that i create a different website (port 20080) and aspnet_client folder is not placed inside that website

I can see that you use different versions of software and different configurations, but i think you have the same problem.
