CFP2120 remote panel shows "downloading panel 0% of 0 bytes" but never loads the panel

Question

body {margin:8px} .LW-yrriRe {font:normal x-small arial}Good morning,
   I've been trying to run a remote panel with a cFP2120 upgraded to LabVIEW
2009 & fieldpoint 6.05 (it was on labview 8.5 with 6.01) to no avail, the
program runs ok in the project manager and runs on the fieldpoint but the remote
panel doesn't. I would like to know if anyone else runs remote panels with 2009
and cFP2120s and if so was there any tricks required?
Things I've tried:
Upgraded and installed latest labview Runtime.
Tried on PC's running XP/XP Home/VISTA.
Tried with both Mozilla and Internet Explorer
Tried using a different port
Disabled firewall.
Using full name for html file
check html source code.
New project with simple program (flashing LED A on cFP), this works
Tried on two different cfP2120's
tried reformatting and reinstalling the s/w on the cFP
The front panel works fine with LabView 8.5 and FieldPoint 6.0.2
thanks for any help.

I believe that this may be a problem with the conversion from 8.5 or 8.6 to 2009.  We recently ran into a problem that was similar to this. The steps that we performed to correct this were:
1.) Created a project (with only one VI called test_vi_851.vi) in LabVIEW 8.5.1
that I built into a real-time exe with a remote front panel and got all of that
working.
2.) Closed LabVIEW 8.5.1.
3.) Manually rebooted the cFP-2120
into Safe-Mode (by flipping the dipswitch on the front of the controller).
4.) From MAX, formatted the disk by right-clicking the controller under
Remote Systems and selecting Format Disk.
5.) After the controller rebooted,
reset my network configuration and name of the controller and hit Apply
(controller rebooted again to apply these settings).
6.) After the
controller rebooted (still in Safe-Mode), I added software to the controller
(FieldPoint 6.0.5 with LabVIEW 2009, controller rebooted again).
7.) After
the controller rebooted, I manually switch the Safe-Mode dipswitch back to off
and then rebooted the controller again from MAX.
8.) Launched LabVIEW 2009
and manually opened the VI (test_vi_851.vi, just the VI, not the project).
9.) I went to File»Save As... and selected the option Copy - create copy on
disk»Substitute copy for original.
10.) I then chose to name this copy
test_vi_2009.vi. Then I closed the VI, which brought me back to the LabVIEW 2009
Getting Started window.
11.) Selected Empty Project and then targetted the
cFP-2220.
12.) Enabled the Web Server by right-clicking the
target»Properties»Web Server»Enable Web Server. Then I deployed this setting to
the controller by right-clicking the target»Deploy.
13.) Returned to MAX and
rebooted the controller.
14.) After the controller rebooted, I manually
added test_vi_2009 by right-clicking the target»Add»File... .
15.) Opened
test_vi_2009 from the project and created a new html file (called mypage.html) using the Web Publishing Tool.
16.) FTPed mypage.html
to the appropriate folder on the controller.
17.) Returned to MAX and
rebooted the controller.
18.) After the controller rebooted, I ran the
test_vi_2009.vi from the project and was able to access the remote front panel
(http:///mypage.html).
Please give these steps a try, and let me know if you run into any further problems.
