Connecting epiServer forms in ContentDeliveryApi MusicFestival project
HI,
I guess, I encoutered similer error earlier, I think solution was, Uninstall the CD package and install the 2.21.1v package.
In general 2.21.1 version looks working without any issues.
Also I hope you have tried executing Update-EPiDatabase command, If not please try it out.

Hi Harinarayanan. I tried Update-EPiDatabase command and also I listened to your advice for upgrading the CD to 2.21.1 version (Cms, Core, Forms). Unfortunately the problem still occurs. Is there something I could be missing, or do you remember some other things you needed to change to get it done?
Hi Jedreqq,
Hope you have looked into the documentation from optimizely,
In the above documentation the Optimizely says that, we have to register the CD.Form services by calling AddFormsApi(): and register CD.Forms services in your IoC container. But I have not done any of those, still I'm abe to access the forms through API. This just for your information. may be an workaround.
One more Note: I guess you must have two config in AppSettings of web.config, I not please add it.
<add key="episerver:contentdeliverysearch:maphttpattributeroutes" value="true" />
<add key="episerver:contentdelivery:maphttpattributeroutes" value="false" />

Hi Harinarayanan,
I tried to call the addFormsApi method, also worked on the AppSettings of web.config with your suggestions and I got the 404 error with the implemented in, but it feels like the configuration has something to do with the contentdeliveryapi.search, not the forms package itself. Also I tried with the
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.6.1" optimizeCompilations="false" />setting but nothing changes at all. Also, when I looked into the episerver error log I found this information:

I tried to debug the 44 line in ExtendedContentModelMapper but I cannot detect what is exactly missing in this line:
var contentModel = _defaultContentModelMapper.TransformContent(content, excludePersonalizedContent, expand);
Did you come across this one?

Hi,
I am working on connecting via the documentation the Optimizely Forms package for Content Delivery API on the vue template project MusicFestival (which has packages EpiServer.ContentDeliveryApi.Cms 2.17.0 and EpiServer.Forms 4.27)
As I try to install the compatible version of the package EPiServer.ContentDeliveryApi.Forms 2.17.0 (optimizely.com) for this project and build the project after successful installation I get a 500 error with the information:
code: "InternalServerError"
details: []
message: "The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration"
target: null
I also tried to register CD.form in the SiteInitialization.cs file in ConfigureContainer method (in this version we do not have IServiceCollection but ServiceConfigurationContext and I see that in EPiServer.ContentApi.Forms.ContentApiFormInitialization.ConfigureContainer the code is similar):
EPiServer.ContentApi.Forms.ContentApiFormInitialization service = new EPiServer.ContentApi.Forms.ContentApiFormInitialization();
service.ConfigureContainer(context);
But it still doesn't change a thing as I am still getting 500 error. What can be the case for this issue?
