RezEasy Problems

Missing DLL File 

When I publish pages I get a message about a missing dll file.
RezEasy, like many other programs, makes use of certain Windows dll files. These dll files are part of the Microsoft Windows installation including XP and Vista. However, some Windows dll files can accidentally be deleted when programs are uninstalled. This is probably why you are getting the error message. You can download the missing dll files from Microsoft at:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=7B9BA261-7A9C-43E7-9117-F673077FFB3C&displaylang=en Just run the self extracting exe and it will install the ffollowing files: msvbvm60.dll, oleaut32.dll andolepro32.dll

Testing on Your PC 

When I tested the system on my PC Internet Explorer showed a warning.
This is a "feature" of Internet Explorer 6. When you view a web site on the Internet Explorer will run any scripts that are in the page (image rollovers, for example). However, by default Internet Explorer does not allow the same script to run if it happens to be on your PC. Instead Internet Explorer will show a box at the top of the browser window and ask you what you want to do. When viewing your reservation system on your PC click the "Click here for options" link at the top of the browser window then "Allow blocked content"

You can also enable scripts to run on your PC as follows:
  1. Click Tools then Internet Options in Internet Explorer menu bar.
  2. Click the Advanced tab
  3. Scroll down the list to Security and check "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer"
  4. Click OK button and close Internet Explorer then start it again.
NOTE: RezEasy does not require any special setting in Internet Explorer when viewed on the Internet.

Publishing Errors 

When I publish programs an error occurs
Check to make sure that everything in the configuration is completed. If you have upgraded from the evaluation version make sure you have selected a payment gateway or NONE if you do not accept credit cards. Do not leave payment gateway blank.
When I publish pages I get an error
Click the Property Description button in RezEasy then look the Meal Plans and Options. If any of the lines contain data make sure the entire line is complete. In particular check the Charge basis is entered.

General Problems 

I have to activate RezEasy each time the configuration is run.
If you are using Windows 2000 or Windows XP your user account may not allow you to write to the registry. Login as administrator or login to an account with administrator privaledges.

Errors Submitting a Reservation 

When a reservation is submitted I get an "Internal server error" message
On Unix or Linux servers check to make sure that the correct permissions are set on all the scripts in /cgi-bin/ folder (0755). Make sure the /cgi-bin/ folder contains as file called rez60conf.pl 
On Windows server make sure that the web site folder name you enter into RezEasy's configuration uses / to delimit folder names and not \. Example D:\home\ is

not correct

it should be D:/home/ 
When a reservation is submitted I get a message "do not have permission to use this program"
On Unix or Linux servers check to make sure that the correct permissions are set on the script (0755). 
When a reservation is submitted I get a message saying "Could not open template ……"
The web site folder you entered in RezEasy's configuration is incorrect. If the server is Unix or Linux make sure the folder name begins and ends with /. If the server is Windows make sure you have to full path (including the drive) and that the folder names ends with /. 
When a reservation is submitted I get a message saying "Could not write to ……"
The web site folder you entered in RezEasy's configuration is incorrect. If the server is Unix or Linux make sure the folder name begins and ends with /. If the server is Windows make sure you have to full path (including the drive) and that the folder names ends with /. 
If you are sure the folder name is correct and the server is Unix or Linux try setting permissions on /data, /data/sales, data/temp to read/write/execute chmod 777. 
When a reservation is made warning message pops up saying that the connection is not secure.
RezEasy checks to make sure that the connection to the payment gateway is over a secure socket layer. If it is not this warning message dialogue box is displayed. However, the connection will still be made after the dialogue box is closed. This allows you to connect to an ordinary server during testing. As soon as you switch to a secure server this message will not be displayed. 

Email Errors

The location or the name of the mail program you entered in RezEasy's configuration is incorrect.

The location specified for sendmail in the RezEasy's configuration is incorrect. 
My web server is Windows and the smtp server requires authentication before sending mail.
Contact Hallisoft help desk. We will require the type of authentication (plain text, base64, MD5 etc. and the user name/password). We will then customise scripts for your smtp server. 

Payment Gateway Errors 

When the payment is complete I get a "Page not found" error
Some payment gateways use pages on your site to show the transaction status, accepted, declined etc. Make sure that you have uploaded accepted.html, declined.html and pending.html to your web site. Also make sure that the payment gateway has the correct URL for these pages.  
RezEasy will send page names to some gateways. Others require that you enter the page URL's into your account details. Check the payment gateway's integration guide for details. 
The payment is completed but the reservation is not processed
Make sure that you have set your account at the payment gateway to callback to RezEasy after the transaction is complete. Also make sure that the URL of RezEasy is entered into your account details http://www........./cgi-bin/rez60std.pl
RezEasy will send the callback URL to some gateways. Others require that you enter the URL's into your account details. Check the payment gateway's integration guide for details. 
The payment gateway I am using is not pre-configured in RezEasy and I'm not sure what to do
Go to our helpdesk and tell us which gateway you are using. We may require a copy of the integration guide. 

Errors with Online Administration 

When I try to edit or view Property/Inventory data I get constant errors.
You have not uploaded the admin program files to your web site. Make sure that the following files are on your web site: 
  • remupdate/bin/rez60stdupd.js (rez60agtupd.js in the Agency version)
  • remupdate/bin/rez60stdview.js (rez60agtview.js in the Agency version)
  • remupdate/bin/calendar.js
  • remupdate/bin/calendar-en.js
  • remupdate/bin/calendar-setup.js
Sometimes when I use the Cleanup function I get an error.
If this happens when your go to the Cleanup page and login the web server is returning an error because it cannot find any pending reservations. This normally only happens on Windows server. You can ignore this problem unless there are any files named *.dat in folder /data/temp on your web site. 
I added a new property and the property owner cannot login.
When you add a new property you must publish the pages for that property and also the publish the standard pages. Upload the folder and pages for the new property plus the list of properties pages list_?.html and the user list data/rezlist.dat
