Error when trying to test using Postman

This is an expansion of the error I am getting when testing using Postman:

Barry,

A few questions:

1. Are you testing this on your local machine or on the actual public facing web server?
   
2. What method are you using? (GET, POST, etc.)
   
3. Is the EngineServer running?
   
4. Perhaps post a screen shot of your Postman entry.

Barry,

I just did a little bit of research against the "cannot add duplicate collection entry" error. Everything I read points to a problem with IIS configuration, which is well beyond my scope of knowledge. Others might be more helpful. Here are a few relevant links I came across:

Appears it was the rewrite rule.

We had to do this - put ParsonWeb to get to work, maybe ParsonsWeb 'pointer' got lost.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration>     <system.webServer>         <rewrite>             <rules>                 <rule name="CGI-BIN Api Rewrite" patternSyntax="Wildcard">                     <match url="api/*" />                     <action type="Rewrite" url="ParsonsWeb/cgi-bin/oecgi3.exe/{R:1}" />                 </rule>             </rules>         </rewrite>         <directoryBrowse enabled="true" />     </system.webServer> </configuration>

Removed ParsonsWeb and it now works:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration>     <system.webServer>         <rewrite>             <rules>                 <rule name="CGI-BIN Api Rewrite" patternSyntax="Wildcard">                     <match url="api/*" />                     <action type="Rewrite" url="cgi-bin/oecgi3.exe/{R:1}" />                 </rule>             </rules>         </rewrite>         <directoryBrowse enabled="true" />     </system.webServer> </configuration>

I'm guessing you don't have a \ParsonsWeb folder on your local machine. At some point did you transfer the IIS settings form the pubic server on your local machine? Maybe that's how it got configured incorrectly.
