Why does my Web Publishing Tool fail to create an image of my front panel when I select the "Embedded" viewing mode?

[DavidMorrison]

I am trying to create an html file for access by a client computer through the LabVIEW Web Server. I want to enable the client to control the vi, so am chosing "Embedded" for the Viewing Option in the Web Publishing Tool. The small preview screen in the Web Publishing Tool shows an image of my front panel, but the resulting html file does not include this image. The Web Server error log shows a 404 error which I believe is due to the lack of an image (or any front panel objects) present in the html file: Error: 404 "Not Found" for "/.lv_frontpanelprotocol.rpvi100", file "c:/program files/national instruments/labview 2010/www/.lv_frontpanelprotocol.rpvi100": Can't access URL

If you are aware of this problem or know any solutions, please post a reply.

Thanks,

David

Does it work if you preview the web page locally?

Does the client computer have at least the minimum 2010 run time engine installed?

altenbach,

Thanks for the reply. No it does not preview properly on the local host. Thus I've not tried to open it from a client computer (which I'll insure has the same run time engine as the server).

Other ideas? Much appreciated, David
