Email/Messages/Notifications

I’m having trouble e-mailing content within Content Central.

  • Other settings may have been changed for the e-mail server, such as SSL or port.
  • The Content Central server may have lost physical access to the e-mail/SMTP server.
  • New firewall rules may prevent Content Central from accessing the e-mail/SMTP server.
  • Junk-mail filters may be capturing outgoing e-mails from the Content Central server.

  • Approval-processing notifications can be configured for each process by accessing the Approval Processes area in the appropriate document type(s).
  • The content of several messages may be related to the number of logged-in users exceeding your license. This is not an error; it is only a warning. When these messages are generated, the user logged in for the longest amount of time has been logged out so a new user can access the system.

 

Installation Package

What does it mean when I receive the message, 7zip internal error, 106, during the installation?

This occurs when you run the Content Central installation program from a folder on your computer that has a very long path. To prevent this error, save ContentCentral_Setup.exe to a folder near the root of your drive (e.g. C:\CCSetup\ContentCentral_Setup.exe) before running it.

What does it mean when I receive the message, MSI Launch Condition Failed, during the installation?

The most common reason for this message is when the machine you are attempting to install Content Central on does not have IIS (Internet Information Services) installed. Install IIS by accessing the ‘Add/Remove Windows Components’ console from within the ‘Add/Remove Programs’ dialog in the control panel. Select ‘Internet Information Services’ (XP) or ‘Application Server, Internet Information Services’ (Server 2003) followed by the ‘Next’ button to add IIS.
