http error using web publishing tool

[snorlaz]

i opened both the server.vi and client.vi in my laptop and run at the same time. using the web publishing tool i manage to create the html and able to view it in my computer but i cannot control the functions from the web itself. however when i tried to view it from my friend laptop, it somehow load a message that it cannot be displayed. so what do you suggest I do?

Has the runtime engine been installed on the friend's laptop?  Often, after some delay, the web browser will ask if you'd like to download and install the runtime engine.  It is necessary for the web page to show up on a PC that wouldn't have had Labview installed on it.

Hi Snorlaz,

Ravens Fan is right on the mark. Additionally, you can find more information about the Web Publishing Tool Viewing Options here.

hi. i have installed the run time engine and i have an error. i am forbidden to visit the web. error: Your internet address (RP-5B068DB51FEB.rp.edu.sg) is not allowed to retrieve documents from this server. i am running client and server on the same computer but surprisingly after installation of run time engine i couldnt even view anything.


do we need to do anything to the run time engine? or any configuration in the labview vi?

another qn:

i am able to view the html while use another computer to run both client and server (everything is done in a same computer as well). but if i want to use another computer to view this link how do i do it? for example if the link is: http://rp-5b068db51feb.rp.edu.sg:8000/Simple%20Data%20Client.html.

Where is one computer relative to the other?  The internet address has a very odd serial number prefix.  And it lists the domain .edu which sounds like its on a college campus.  What is .sg?  I bet the school's IT policies and firewalls have the security locked down pretty tight and is preventing the communication between computers.  You may have to talk to your IT people.

You shouldn't need anything other than the Run-Time engine. Are you using remote panels or web publishing? Is the error you are receiving from Internet Explorer or Windows?

Hi Ravens Fan,

Indeed we are using our campus wireless network which explain the address 'edu.sg'. ".sg" is indicating that it is Singapore. Since you mentioned about the odd serial numbr prefix, then how do you think it is suppose to be? We had talked to our campus's IT people but they are at no authority to help us with the network. And i am wondering if there is any other ways i could do it.

Hi Hillary E,

Regarding your questions, we did download the run-time engine and we also use the web publishing tools.
The problem mentioned previously abt the display error had been solved. 
But the problem now is after we got the display on the computer, we want to make another computer host to view the display wirelessly by copying the URL.
But when i use the another computer to open the URL of the display, the following prompt appear:

Error: host not accessible

Possible source of this error:

1) Host name is invalid
2) There was a DNS error
3) The website may be unavailable.
4) You may not be connected to the internet

You might want to edit the URL...

so can you help me with this?

p/s: Has anyone of you tried this project before? Is it difficult to configure?

Hi all, i did the following steps and i want to know why i still got error?

i set the same port number for both client and server and run it.

On the command prompt, I click 'netstat /a' to check for the ports.

The port is established and listening but on the client side, there was error 56: occurred at TCP Open Connection in Simple Data Client.vi

why is it so?

Hi Snorlaz,

This might be a problem with the Internet Connection Firewall. Is Error 56 the only error you are receiving? Are you still seeing the same problems with the host not being accessible? Is that error from Internet Explorer or LabVIEW or another program?
