FAQ: How do I know which build ID I'm running?

It's important to know which build you are running because AbleCommerce support and other online resources will make reference to build numbers. In order to find the build ID, you must have access to the Master Administrator Menu.

TIP:  In AbleCommerce 5.5 Asp.Net SR1, (builds 1126+), there is a new feature available from the Merchant Menu.  From the top menu bar, mouse-over Help and click on About AbleCommerce and the About page will display.

 

 

To check the Build ID:

  1. Login to the AbleCommerce Master Administration menu and click the About button.

  2. You should be viewing a page that looks similar to the one shown below:

 

 

Figure 1 - The Build ID for the Asp.Net version is shown in the example above.  
 

Figure 2 - The Build ID for the CFMX version is shown in the example above.

 

 

Establishing Trusted Access to the About Page:

The About page contains very sensitive information.  From the web, it can only be viewed by an AbleCommerce Admin user in the trusted IP list.

If you have tried to view the About page, and are getting an error, please follow the instructions below for the version of AbleCommerce you have installed.

Error - Untrusted IP: 155.15.155.15

To view this page, please access from a trusted IP.

Alternatively, you may edit the AbleCommerce web.config file and include this IP in trusted list.

The trusted IP list is maintained in the web.config file and you will need to find this file and add your IP.

To do this, first locate the file in the AbleCommerce installation. The default location is shown below:

c:\program files\able solutions\ac5\webshare\web.config

Open the file in notepad and scroll to the bottom. You will see a set of installation variables as shown in the example below:

<AbleCommerce>
<!-- AC_InstallPath should always end with \ -->
<add key="InstallPath" value="c:\program files\able solutions\ac5\" />
<add key="InstallPrefix" value="ac5" />
<add key="SharedDomain" value="www.ablecommerce.com" />
<add key="MasterConnectString" value="DSN=ac5-sql-ds;UID=ableuser;PWD=hello" />
<add key="MasterDBType" value="4" />
<add key="BuildNumber" value="1131" />

<add key="Installed" value="True" />
</AbleCommerce>
