How to start the LabVIEW web server

[L.K]

Hi,

    I am trying to use the Labview webpublishing tool. But when I click on the option "Preview in browser", I am getting message as " You must start Labview webserver before previewing your web page. Would you like to start web server now?." When I select the option as YES, nothing happens. I still get the same message.

I have done all the required settings by selecting Tools->Options->Web Server.  Under this I have enabled the Webserver select option and have provided my pc's ip address in the browser access list.

Can anyone help me to sortout this issue.

Thanks,

To enable the web server some of the windows component services must be enable.

Follow the below mention steps.

1. Open control Panel

2. Click on add and remove utility

3. Select add and Remove windows component.

4. Check Internet Information Services is install or not.

5. If not check mark the IIS option

6. Insert the Boot CD

7. Install the IIS

8. Now in LabVIEW web server option select the web Server root directory "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot"

Now you publish your web page. It will work.

Hi,

    I followed the steps that you have provided, still I am not able to publish the VI.

After doing the settings as mentioned by you, the problems I am encountering are:

1. I am not able to set the server root directory to "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot". Even if I try to change it to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot, the server path is being set to "D:\Inetpub\wwwroot".

2. Since server path is automatically getting set to "D:\Inetpub\wwwroot" instead of "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot", I created a new folder in D drive having the same path but I am getting the error as "Error 7 occured at open/Create". I have attached the screen shot of the errordescription.

Hi,

   Now the webpublishing is working in my system. A program was running in my system which had blocked the IP address to which the server was connected, hence webpublishing wasn't working. Now it's solved.

Thanks for your reply.
