Hi there,

I got some trouble as well and it turned out to be the Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar.

So in case you have the toolbar as well try to deinstall to see if it is the cause of your trouble.

I don't have the Developer toolbar installed.

I also tried with the "Everyone - Full Control" approach for the VPP folders. 

I did some digging with Reflector, seems like it's the empty img-parameter to the httphandler is causing the exception. 

http://localhost/hui/Edit/ImageEditor/RenderImage.ashx?zoom=75&quality=65&img=&commands= 

Why it's empty I have no idea. The "..." button for the file is actually doing nothing on my local workstation, but it works on my test server. Either way, it doesn't matter if I select a file in the dialog or typing in a path in the input field. The image in the panel is still broken and the  "An error occured. Close Image Editor?" still pops up.

When the file manager works, the dialog pops up just after selecting a file. If I type the path manually into the input field, the dialog pops up after trying to change zoom level (which obviously would trigger a postback).

Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

I am having the same problem. On my development machine there are no issues with the image editor, but on the production server I'm not getting the Filemanager to pop up from the Image Editor.

We're experiencing the exact same problem and working to resolve it. We're able to select a file, but as soon as we click OK the error dialog pops up.

UPDATE:
It seems that removing the following from web.config resolves the problem:
<add name="udpTransport" type="Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples.UdpTransportElement, EPiServer.Implementation" />

However, not really sure what other side-effects that will have...

When the Image Editor tries to load the image through the RenderImage.ashx handler is throws the following exception:

ConfigurationErrorsException: An extension of name 'udpTransport' already appears in extension collection. Extension names must be unique.

If you rename it you'll get the following exception instead:

An extension of type 'Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples.UdpTransportElement, EPiServer.Implementation' already appears in extension collection. Extension types must be unique.

Was this issue ever resolved?

On my customer's production site, the File Manager pops up fine, but when an image has been selected, the dialog "An error occurred. Close image editor?" appears.

By selecting "Cancel" on the error message and then "OK", the image will show up fine on the page, but I would really like the editor to work.

I have tried Ted Nyberg's suggestion with removing the UdpTransportElement entry from web.config, but this made no difference on my site.

EDIT: Ted's solution works after all. He just forgot to mention that you also have to comment out the other line where UdpTransport is mentioned:

<udpTransport multicast="true">

After commenting out this line, image editor works again.

We're experiencing the same problem. The image editor crashes as soon as we've chosen a file and clicked ok.

I've commented out the two udpTransport things in web.config, but it didn't make any difference.

Got the same problem today

this is the error from log

I've tried commented out the  two udpTransport things in web.config and the cancel error dialog disapears but the images is not showing in the imageeditor

Now I get a CPU peak to 100% everytime I try to use the ImageEditor and I must reset the IIS

Anyone got this error?

We reInstalled All .Net frameworks on the server and it sloved the imageEditor CPU peak problem!

Seems like a standard server update did something on the server

But be aware that the IIS can lose .NET configurations and needs to be reconfigured with the wildcardmaping and things like that

Best regards

We're having the same problem. I've commented out the udpTransports, which didn't help.

Do you have any other ideas? Running R2 SP2 on Windows Server 2003 x64.

Does your CPU peaks or is just det ImageEditor that don't work?

do you have the httpHandler for *.ashx in your web.config?

<add path="*.ashx" verb="*" type="System.Web.UI.SimpleHandlerFactory" validate="true" />

No, the ImageEditor crashes.

I got the handler for ashx under both location /util and for /ui.

can you access the http://www.yoursite.se/UI/Edit/ImageEditor/RenderImage.ashx?zoom=100&quality=65&img=/Global/yourimage.jpg&commands=

and look in the log and see if you can se any error

No, I can't access it. It works when I open the file directly http://www.yoursite.se/global/yourimage.jpg

Your post shows up on the next page...

Hmm not exactly the same error that we had
Have you done some updates on the server before this error started?

could it be access problem to the image editor?

The best is to talk about this with the EpiSupport and show them your log

Doh!

It's a newly installed server with the latest patches.

I have a case with EpiSupport. They got my logs and my config files. They have given me the same advices that exists in this thread.

I will check if theres a problem with accessing the image editor.

Thank you for your help

I has this same issue, I commented out the web.config items mentioned above

<add name="udpTransport" type="Microsoft.ServiceModel.Samples.UdpTransportElement, EPiServer.Implementation" />

And

<udpTransport multicast="True" />

I was also getting the an error on the extendedProtectionPolicy element not being valid (which could possibly be a Windows 7 issue) so I commented this out too,

<extendedProtectionPolicy policyEnforcement="Never" />

Everything now works,

More info on the extendedProtectionPolicy here
