LV8 Web publising problems......

[labview man]

Hi

got a few problems with Labview 8.  basically i have some Vi's that i had developed and used under LV7.1 and i used the web publishing tools to develope a html file with a "snapshot" of the Vi's embedded in the html file, i then enabled the webserver and when i installed the VI's on the target machine i just enabled the Web server on the application from the toolbar and i could view the VI's running from another PC with out a problem. 

now this is where the problems start, i have since upgraded to LV8 and i have noticed that this is a totally different setup with regards to viewing the frontpanels remotely, i have fiddled about with everything and still cant get it to work. when place the executable on the target machine i notice that there is not a "enable web server"  option in the toolbar anymore, so how do i enable the web server on the target machine that does not have LV8 installed, just the runtime and application?

Do i have to:

Create an installer?

add any support files to enable remote panels, on the installer options?

Burn LV8, and hunt around and find my copy of LV7.1 and install that back on the machine, and bin any more upgrades that come through from NI

help is much appreciated

Did you check your .ini files of your application that you creates.

Check for the fire wall setting too.

Hi,

To enable the web server you need to put a line in the ini file. When you create the the exe the ini files is created which has all of the web server settings from the development environment. Unfortunately it does not add the enable line:

WebServer.Enabled=True

Just add this line to the ini file and it should work fine.

Cheers jon

i have just had a look through the ini file created during the executable and yes there is no enable function, i will add the line in and give it a go.

many thanks for your help.
