remote publishing tool problem

[Ya-hoo]

I am using remote phblishing tool to see a front panel from localhost. After start webserver and click preview in browser, I got forbidden error message in IE, it says: Your internet address is not allowed to retrieve documents from this server. Anything I didn't setup in IE?

Thanks for your help.

I found it works if I set Web Server:Browser Access to all and Web Server:Visible Vi to all instead of the IP address of my PC and the VI's name whose front panel I want to view.

Why?

It seems more likely to me to be a problem with the VI than with the machine name / IP address, but I'd suggest starting by isolating this.  Allow access to all VIs but only the local machine.  Does that work?  Try all machines but just the specific VI.  Does that work?

I believe the VI name is case sensitive and if it is in a library, must contain the fully-qualified VI name (which is "library name":"vi name").  For example if you had a Test.vi as part of test.lvlib, the fully qualified name would be:

test.lvlib:Test.vi

As far as the IP address goes, does it work if you type "localhost" in?  What about using "127.0.0.1"?  If those both work, the actual external IP address of that same machine still doesn't work?  If that's the case, I'm a bit out of my realm of expertise...

Hope this helps!

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried to set Browser Access to localhost and 127.0.0.1 but they both didn't work when either all vi or certain vi's name wsa set in Visible VI.
