Can the pages created be hosted on a Linux system

[Mark_Yedinak]

Can the web pages developed using the Web Development module be deployed and hosted on a Linux web server? If so, what are the steps necessary?

[sbasavaraj]

The build output of web applications built using G Web Development Software is plain HTML and JS and as such wouldn't pose any problems being hosted in a Linux web server. After building the web application in GWeb you would need to copy the build output to the web server. You can locate the build output by clicking on the Output directory in the right rail for a web application component as shown in the image below. 

You can find details of the different options available to host web applications built using GWeb in the manual page here.

I have a follow on question to this. As you replied the web pages could be hosted on a Linux Web Server, can you also host them on a cRIO Linux RT? 

TIA

Yes - it is possible to host a G Web webpage on a (Linux) cRIO.  I will list some rough steps for how to do it because there is not a lot of info online on the steps required (at least not in one place):

G Web:

Create a webpage and build it. It will save the build to a child directory of the "Builds" directory. This will become the public content folder for the cRIO's web service.

LabVIEW:

Add new web service to the cRIO in the project tree. 

Rt. click web service and select, "Add public content folder"

Navigate to the output folder of the G Web application mentioned above and choose it.

Under Web Services>Web Resources in the project tree, you may want to add HTTP Method VIs which allow communication between a RT application and the new web page.  I think there is an example project in LabVIEW which goes through this.

To deploy, right click the Web Service>Application Web Server>Publish.
