Filemaker web publishing / port 80 problem

Since installing OS X Server a few months ago, I've gotten reports of remote users not being able to access our web-published Filemaker database. Or rather, the only browser that will currently display our web-published DBs properly is Safari.
The problem: in any browser other than Safari (I should mention our remote users run Windows XP with IE 6), port 80 is removed from the URL when the user hits enter/commits the URL. The result is a blank page with the Filemaker header image...
I've scanned our Web server settings, Filemaker's web publishing engine, and our LAN firewall for clues, but nothing seems amiss. Any ideas?

Sounds like something is not quite right with your firewall.
I don't get why your need to add :80 to the url for your server in the first place. Are you able to advise why you need to?
What do you see if you go to http://yourserver.com:80 and http://yourserver.com (rather than with the /fmi/iwp/... added)?
I assume port forwarding is turned on for port 80 to forward to your FMPro server? This might be a good place to start poking for things that are not quite right.

Activate web publishing feature problem

I am trying to use the object model to activate the site collection publishing feature, and the web publishing feature on a new site. Here is a snippet of my code.
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SiteUrl))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
//Activate the publishing feature at the site collection level (PublishingSite)
site.Features.Add(new Guid("F6924D36-2FA8-4f0b-B16D-06B7250180FA"));
//Activate the publishing feature at the web level (PublishingWeb)
web.Features.Add(new Guid("94C94CA6-B32F-4da9-A9E3-1F3D343D7ECB"));
The problem is I get an error that says "The SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature must be activated at the site collection level before the Publishing feature can be activated."
I have browsed to the site and verified the Publishing feature is activated at the site collection level. I have double checked that the GUIDs are correct. Does anyone have an idea why I am getting this error and cannot activate the publishing feature on
the web level?

Hi
Did you try like this, I meant adding allowunsafeupdates
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SiteUrl))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{ site.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
//Activate the publishing feature at the site collection level (PublishingSite)
site.Features.Add(new Guid("F6924D36-2FA8-4f0b-B16D-06B7250180FA")); site.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false; web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
//Activate the publishing feature at the web level (PublishingWeb)
web.Features.Add(new Guid("94C94CA6-B32F-4da9-A9E3-1F3D343D7ECB")); web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;

Airport, Filemaker Pro 8.5 and Instant Web Publishing

I have a static IP address, with airport configured to distribute to 3 other computers and a printer, using 10.0.1.1 addressing.
In Filemaker, I've designed a data base, turned Instant Web Publishing On, the url showing is:
10.0.1.3:591 (I've set port 591 for use, as it is specifically for FMP.) The file is open, and testing with Safari using (10.0.1.3:591) the DB works flawlessly.
Coming from an 'outside' computer, I've tried the static URL with :591, and Safari returns "Server stopped responding". Obviously, I have something incorrectly set - can anyone tell me where I've gone wrong?

Sounds like you haven't told the router/base station to forward external connections on port 591 to your server.
By default your router is going to block all incoming traffic. If you're running a server inside your network that you want external users to access you need to tell your router that. It needs to know to accept connections on port 591 and forward them to the internal server. Not surprisingly this is known as 'port forwarding' and is discussed at length here and on other forums.
If you're using an AirPort Base Station you can use the AirPort Admin Utility to setup port forwarding. Add port 591 (and/or any other ports you want accessible from the outside world) and tell them which internal machine the traffic should go to (10.0.1.3 in this case) and you're set.

Web service invocation problem on host hostname and port 8000 protocol : http logical port name : LP_WS_SMDAGENT_MONITORING

hello colleagues,
In the phase Connect Diagnostics dont show the Agent available in SLD, but when go to SLD i have the agents,
Error,
Connect Diagnostics Agent
The table does not contain any data
Agent availables in all SLD
SOAP:1.007 SRT: Unupported xstream found: ("HTTP Code 401 : Unauthorized")
Web service invocation problem on host hostname and port 8000 protocol : http logical port name : LP_WS_SMDAGENT_MONITORING
Thanks

OK, then pls follow below steps;
- Go to step 'Create Users' in solman_setup System Preparation scenario and make sure the user SM_INTERN_WS has a green status. Use the 'Test Login' button to make sure the user is not locked and has correct credentials maintained in solman_setup
- Immediately after checking the user status, navigate to Configure Connectivity->Enable Web Services and execute again the 'Create Logical Ports' automatic activity, in order to propagate the correct credentials to the Logical Port definitions.
- If the above operation is not successful, repeat the two steps above, providing a different user Id in 'Create Users' step, eg SM_INTERN_W1. This will prevent situations where the user gets locked by Logical Ports using an obsolete password.
Let me know the results.
Regards,
Vivek

Bridge mode, share a public IP address,& Filemaker instant web publishing

I have finally wrestled my Time Capsule into working order as a router. For some reason, when I try either to use the router in Bridge Mode or Distribute a Range of IP addresses, I couldn't connect to the internet through an ethernet cable to a ComCast cable modem. It works fine with Share a Public IP Address, so I'm happy . . . until I went back to the filemaker instant web publishing.
The instant web publishing seems to need an absolute address (e.g. 67.123.45.23) rather than the relative address (e.g. 10.0.1.4). I tried to go to Whatismyip.com to get my actual IP address, but I can't get to it that way either. Is there any way to keep the relative addresses distributed by the Time Capsule while sharing an IP, but still have a fixed IP to publish the filemaker database to? Any help would be tremendously appreciated.

Well, my posts a year late, but just a suggestion:
From what you said about how "The instant web publishing seems to need an absolute address (e.g. 67.123.45.23) rather than the relative address (e.g. 10.0.1.4)." I think I might remind you that they meant a "static IP", which doesn't change every time you connect. An absolute IP would be virtually impossible unless you requested it from a top-tier company. (And yes, you can subscribe to a service that gives you one, but it's way more than any ordinary person can afford) The other option, which you (and the rest of us) are using is a dynamic IP. It assigns an IP to each of our computer every time we "log on" to the internet
But, if you say that you only need instant web publishing, you can always try some kind of service like dynDNS that can redirect any (of your) domain(s) to your IP every time you connect.
dynDNS is free, but has business accounts....
(iWeb, on the other hand, is entirely different. iWeb is designed to export the website to Apple's server, therefore you do not need to deal with the whole IP thing.)

10.4.7 Update Broke Filemaker 8 Web Publishing

After installing 10.4.7 security update, my Filemaker 8 Webserver no longer functions. I have rebuilt permissions, which had no effect, and Filemaker tells me I need to rebuild the entire server back to 10.4.6.
How do I back out the 10.4.7 update to restore back tp 10.4.6?

James,
We run FileMaker 8 Server Advanced also. Our set up is FileMaker Server and WPE on a 10.4.7 client with all updates and the Web console and interface on our 10.4.7 Server also with all updates. Our site is still working as set up.
Something that may help... Have you updated your FileMaker Server Advanced to the newest version which works with FileMaker Pro 8.5 features? We did that and found that when FileMaker was put into "production mode" in the FileMaker Web Admin Console we got nothing but errors back. Returning to "development mode" put everything right again. FileMaker knows about this and presumably will fix in the next update.
As far as reverting to 10.4.6... I think you may be out of luck. Each time I have seen that discussed here the answer seems to be to reinstall and only update to where you want to be. The more experienced members here also have suggested to back up your system to a bootable disk image before doing any updates so that you can easily go backwards if needed.

Web publishing tool not working

Hello guys,
I am trying to do web publishing of my VI. The problem that I am facing is that it is working on one system but not on my other computer. Both the computers have evaluation version of LabVIEW and the operating system is Windows XP.
Here are the other details that I have -
1. The Web server is enabled by going to Tools >> Options >> Web Server
2. Port 80 is not blocked on both the computers.
3. Firewall is disabled on both the computers. Even the antivirus is disabled.
The error message that I am getting has been put in the attachment. The error text is " You must start the LabVIEW web server before previewing in your web page. Would you like to start now? " After this when I click yes, it is still not publishing.
Could anyone please let me know what might be the issue? I am unable to figure out why it is working in one and not on the other. For my application, I need to use both the computers.
Yours sincerely,
Herok

How can i view a web published Vi from my iphone 4.0???

Hello,
I am able to see the web published VI from any computer using firefox or IE, but when i open safari on my iphone and enter the IP i get a little image with a question mark
does anyone knows how to solve this problem???
Thank you

Austin S wrote:
One unfortunate issue with the iPhone is that it doesn't allow applications that can execute interpreted code such as the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine, so it doesn't look like we can directly run that on the iPhone. However, there are some pretty good links below that walk through how to actually be able to use a web services VI in conjunction with the iPhone.

Thanks Austin S
but i was looking for a simpler solution!! it is just frustrating to see how people with android are able to monitor the VI by just enter the server IP address and name of the HTML with their phones and I can't with my iphone or ipad using safari
thanks

Can't update SQL 2014 DB during web publish from Visual Studio 2013

According to Visual Studio 2013 I have "SQL Server Data Tool 12.0.40706.0" installed, which should allow me to update a SQL 2014 database but when I try to publish my web application I get the error: "Web deployment task failed. (Could not

database, run the update command, and then change my web.config back everytime I try to update my database. What do I have to do to getthis working? I had no problems when I was on an Azure DB.

Actually problem seems to be related when web publish to remote server. I tried local web publish to sql2014 db and it works.
For remote server web publish works to sql 2012 express db but when try with sql 2014 express db on same server get bellow error.
Error message "The database platform service with type Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.Sql120DatabaseSchemaProvider
is not valid. You must make sure the service is loaded, or you must provide the full type name of a valid database platform service."
Any ideea what may be causing it? I have installed the sql server 2014 express with advanced services x86, exact same version as on my local machine, and also restarted server after install. Need install/configure anything else on server like SSDT 2014 to
make this work?
Cheers!

Uninstall LabVIEW and reinstall. All works now

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

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?

Web publish tool creates blank page

I've been having some trouble with the LabVIEW web publishing tool. It seems that when I try to publish the front panel of my vi, a blank web page is produced instead. To publish, I select Tools>>Web Publishing Tool..., then select my VI from the VI name dropdown menu. I select monitor mode and use a refresh rate of a couple seconds. From there, I try to view a page preview, but all I see is a blank white page. When I try to view the html source of this page, it looks like a blank html document (i.e. view source just shows a blank page as well).
When I follow the web publishing wizard through to completion, I visit the address that the page is supposed to be published at, but get the same blank page results as I did in the preview. Note that I don't get a 404, just a blank page. However, when I look at the html document that was produced, it does contain a page (I've attached the html it produces, all I've done is change the extension to text so I could upload it).
I'm running LabVIEW 2009. The vi in question is in memory, running on the server computer. I have enabled the web server, but in the web publishing wizard, the "Start Web Server" button is inaccessible.
Does anyone know what might be wrong? Or better yet how to fix it?

Jordan,
What I meant was that the VI was running on the computer that is acting as the server, which is in fact the same computer I was testing from. So yes, the problem still arose there. I have made some progress on this issue- it seems that it might be due to some bug with the Browser Access List. Our Browser Access list was empty. Whenever I tried to add something to it (i.e. by typing "*" into the Browser Address bar, selecting the "Allow viewing" radio button and then clicking the "Add" button), a blank entry would show up in the Browser access list. After hitting "ok" on the options box, the blank entry seemed to dissapear; when I would revisit the settings page under "tools->Options->Web Server" the browser list would show up totally empty again.
I was able to fix this problem just by typing "*" into the Browser Address bar, clicking "Add", and toggling back and forth between the radio button access options a few times. Eventually the * showed up as an entry in the browser access list, and when I hit ok the option seems to persist (so I can leave the Web Server options dialogue and return to it later to see that the * is still added with the proper permissions).
However, I'm still having problems. Now when I visit the url of my web published vi, I get the message "Client does not have access to the specified VI." I currently have the settings such that I think all browser clients should have view & control permissions for our published vis. I have attached a screenshot of this message and of our current browser permissions screen. Is this the proper set up? If not, what do I need to do to give viewing permissions to all clients?

Oracle Web Publisher: NullPointerException when starting Java Applet

Hi there,
I'm using Express Server 6.3.4 and Web Publisher 6.3.2 and have created a very simple web briefing -- just a basic web page to see whether it works.
Now when browsing the sample page, an applet is loaded and tells me that several Oracle java classes are loaded. But in the end it fails:
java.lang.NullPointerException at oracle.olap.webAgent.express.Express.execute(Unknown Source) at ....
Does anybody know any solution?
Stefan

Yes, I tried a sample "application" -- the same error. I'm using IE5.5. To locate the "bug", I did the following:
I saved the generated HTML code (including the applet tag and all parameters) and loaded that "static" page using SUN's appletviewer. After a short error message (something like "Error in xwd_init: you provided extra input '\'") the applet was loaded and displayed properly. So I know that there's neither a classpath problem nor classes are missing.
Thank you for your help.
Stefan

Web publishing tool, I can't show the panel in embedded mode.

I don't know what happen but I have try every thing and still without the possibility to make a preview of my VI in the "web publishing tool" and also can't show the panel in embedded mode.
I can see the preview in the browser but it remain forever "downloading panel" and nothing more else happen.
Please help me because I don't find any explanation to this problem in Google.
Additional information:
1) I am using Labview professional development system 8.2 under Windows XP SP3 (it was the same under SP2), also in vista ultimate.
2) In the attachment I show that I'm using Mozilla Firefox but is the same problem under IE.

I don't think the preview ever shown an image.
