Client does not have access to specified VI: license issue?

[Derek22]

I'm trying to connect remotely to a vi and think that my configurations on both client and server are correct. When trying to connect using both the labview remote panel and the web-enabled browser, this message appears: "Client does not have access to specified VI". An excerpt from the www.log files shows:

"GET /lizard_gui0v5.htm HTTP/1.1" 200 971
FPP ConnAllowed - - derekm (***.***.15.100) Total licenses checked out = 1
FPP VIReqDenied VIAccessDenied "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\labview\lizard_gui0v5.vi" derekm (***.***.15.100)
FPP ConnClosed - - derekm (***.***.15.100)

Is this a license issue, or am I missing something obvious?

Try going under the host computer in LabVIEW and under Tools>>Options>>WebServer:Visible VIs make sure that you have "allow access" checkbox checked and then place a "*" in the field and add it. This will allow access to all vi's. The other issue could be your IT group not allowing access maybe because of a firewall or if you are using XP the windows firewall could be on. Can you ping the address?? Maybe try and setup some kind of TCP/IP or datasocket test between the two computers. This might isolate your issues. Let me know what you find. Hope this helps.

Success: Under the visible VIs option I added the "*" character as suggested, and now have access. I previously only had the top-level VI added, using it's full directory path name. I assumed that you just needed to add the top-level VI.

I also note that when connecting to the server from the client machine (using the remote server and not the web-enabled browser), you just need to add the name of the top-level VI, and not the full path to it. This is something that I think was also causing problems.

Thanks for the quick response on this!
