Problem with runing locally project with tridion and DD4T- unable to load dll 'xmogrt': the specified module could not be found

Question

I have two new question about my local configurations.

Now, I am trying to configure a new machine and I am facing two new problems.

Scenario:

1. 32bit local machine and 64bit server

2. installed Java JRE 1.6.0.24

3. copied all jars and configs from the server on the local machine, updated logback.config, added a new license file and updated cd_storage

4. copied dlls from dotNet/x86 an pasted them in the local /bin

Problems:

1) I can not print logs. The file looks nice, I think.

This is my logback.xml file. My c:/tridion/log/deployer directory is empty. I've added permissions to "Everyone" everything to be allowed

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <property name="log.level" value="TRACE"/>

2) Exception: Unable to load dll 'xmogrt': the specified module could not be found.

This is the main part of the stack. The exception happens when I run my project. There isn't any additional code.

Answer 1

DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'xmogrt': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

To avoid exception 2, install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable.

Answer 2

1. Ensure the root level for your logback.xml has been set to ON as shown below:

   <root level="ON"><appender-ref ref="rollingCoreLog"/> </root>
   

   Paste your logback.xml and we will be in better position to help you.

2. At what action you are getting the xmogrt dll error? Is it during your custom code using Content Delivery API? If yes, ensure by looking at the Event Logs in event viewer whether the path is correct for the Tridion Home and it is the path where you have put up your xmogrt.dll

For example: If you have set up the Tridion_Home variable at some path and in your project bin directory you have also put up the Tridion bin and config folders, then the configuration and bin may load from your custom project bin folder instead of Tridion Home variable. Better to double sure from the Event Logs.
