ISSUE
New structures are not registered using the WebAPI
When using the Search controller of the Toolbox WebAPI, calls to
/api/v{version}/search/smiles/{smiles}/{registerUnknown}
where {smiles} represents a structure not present in the Toolbox database and {registerUnknown} is set to true, yield a HTTP 400 result instead of HTTP 200 and the id of the newly registered chemical.
FIX
- Stop the Toolbox website in IIS.
- Download the updated ToolboxServer.dll and use it to replace the original one in the Toolbox Server bin folder (typically in C:\Program Files (x86)\QSAR Toolbox\QSAR Toolbox 4.3\Toolbox Server\Bin).
- Start the service in IIS.
ISSUE
On a Windows 7 or 8 OS, Toolbox Server indicates errors while starting and when the Toolbox Client is started no metabolism simulators are available.

Download LMC.Tools.dll and use it to replace the same file in the Toolbox Server bin folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\QSAR Toolbox\QSAR Toolbox 4.3\Toolbox Server\Bin)
ISSUE
You have a previous deployment of PostgreSQL server but don’t know the password for it. You need to reset the PostgreSQL password
FIX
Follow the instructions in this document.
ISSUE
The Toolbox Server cannot connect to the PostgreSQL database when the server application and PostgreSQL are deployed on separate machines
The error log shows:
Npgsql.PostgresException: 28000: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "", user "qsartoolbox", database "EpiReports42".
This happens when the QSAR Toolbox Server is installed on one machine and the PostgreSQL database is deployed on a different machine. The PostgreSQL server would need to be configured to allow access to the deployed databases for the QSAR Toolbox Server Application.
FIX
- Go to PostgreSQL server's Data folder (default folder C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6\data) and open the pg_hba.conf file.
- Add a line to the bottom of the file changing <ToolboxServerHost> to the IP address or hostname of the computer than is hosting the QSAR Toolbox Server.
host all qsartoolbox md5
- Restart the PostgreSQL service.
- Restart the QSAR Toolbox Server application/service.
ISSUE
The Toolbox Client cannot connect to the QSAR Toolbox Windows service
The error log shows:
StructureMap.Building.StructureMapBuildException: Failure while building 'Lambda: new Database(value(LMC.Toolbox.Server.StartUp.StructureMapBootstrap+<>c__DisplayClass35).connectionStringName)'.
FIX
- Go to Toolbox server's Bin folder (default folder C:\Program Files (x86)\QSAR Toolbox\QSAR Toolbox 4.2\Toolbox Server\Bin).
- Delete the ToolboxServerWindowsSvc.exe.config file
- Rename a copy of ToolboxServerApp.exe.config to ToolboxServerWindowsSvc.exe.config. Make sure you don't just rename the original file.
- Restart the service.
