Opening a project disables web server

This is a problem on Windows XP running LV 8.6.1. Also running MS IIS, which already occupies port 80. Browser of my choice is Opera 10.10
I am working on a legacy project, that I moved up from 7.1. Part of the features is the publishing of certain LV front panels (as static image) on a web browser.
Since that was new to me and the intended access was not working right away I started with the NI web examples. Which did not work either !!!
But that was while my project was open.
So after some try and error this my resumé:
Starting a VI standalone, setting the port in the tools->options->Webserver to 81 allows me to access that image with
http://localhost:81/.snap?ShowTime2.vi as URL
which is a simple VI that shows the current time in a loop and is not part of any project.
While this VI is still open I open my project as well. Not opening any VI from inside. The same tools->options->Webserver from the menue of the project shows the port also as 81. I still can access the open VI and while it's running, can see snapshots of the time.
When I close it and re-open it, it gets automatically part of the project, at least it's title says so, and that seems to be enough, that no web access is possible any more.
Needless to say, that I cannot show any vi that's really inside of the project.
Also opening a new blank project and start the ShowTime inside there does not help.
Fall back to IE7 does also result in a 404.
For benefit of the knowledgeable I attach two log files.
Thanks for any help .

Thanks, Tom, for your interest in this.
As you see from my posting of this morning, I already found out that the URL has to be amended with whatever the name of the project is (plus assuming I use the English version of the development system) "My Computer".
The property node you mention tells me the _kind_ of the application. Even though I know now it's a "Development System" I still don't know the name of the project. The name of the application is of course "LabVIEW.exe" BTW.
OK, somehow I could fix a kludge, to build a really universally working solution I would need to access the name of the project.....

Disabling Web Server HTTP Trace/Track Method

How is it possible to disable the Web Server HTTP Trace/Track Method under SJS 7.x?
As per out internal Qualys Scan report:
A Web server was detected that supports the HTTP TRACE method. This method allows debugging and connection trace analysis for connections from the client to the Web server. Per the HTTP specification, when this method is used, the Web server echoes back the information sent to it by the client unmodified and unfiltered. Microsoft IIS web server uses an alias TRACK for this method, and is functionally the same.
A vulnerability related to this method was discovered. A malicious, active component in a Web page can send Trace requests to a Web server that supports this Trace method. Usually, browser security disallows access to Web sites outside of the present site's domain. Although unlikely and difficult to achieve, it's possible, in the presence of other browser vulnerabilities, for the active HTML content to make external requests to arbitrary Web servers beyond the hosting Web server. Since the chosen Web server then echoes back the client request unfiltered, the response also includes cookie-based or Web-based (if logged on) authentication credentials that the browser automatically sent to the specified Web application on the specified Web server.

Error when Posting a Captivate 5 Aggregator Project on Web Server

I created a 3 module aggregator project with a preloader jpg file using Captivate 5 and published as both a zip and html file. When I play the html on my local machine, it plays fine. But, when I have one of the web developers upload the zip files to the server she says that she gets a flash player error when she tries to test it. I've used the aggregator in Captivate 4 with no problems (when using AS2) so I'm not sure what could be causing this error. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Marion,
I asked her to try again and here's what she said she did:
I unzip the online library folder, double click the onlinelibrary.swf file(the standard.js file is in the same folder), got the popup window as follows
After I click ok, it play the movie. Then I upload the file to server, but it does not work(frozen the server). So can you remake it again as the rest of all video works just fine. BTW, I use flash player 9.
Apparently, she tried it first on her machine which has flash player 9 and then only uploaded the single .swf file to the server. I was told by another developer that she needs to add the standard.js code to the html file. It appears she doesn't want to do this so I have to compile all the .cptx files into one. So, it looks like you were right about her testing locally, but she's also not uploading the files correctly on the server.

Do you have a document called index.html in /Library/WebServer/Documents? The error mesage you mention usually happens when this document doesn't exist and you haven't set the option to list the files in the directory.

Security Issues of Labview Web Server?

Hi All,
How secure is the web server for Labview? Is anyone aware of any one
successfully hacking the systems?
I would assume that it could be possible to gain full control of the
machine running Labview as Labview can read/write data to drives etc.
Just interested as we will be running labview servers on open network
not protected by a firewall etc.
Any comments?
Regards
Wayne Peacock

I have found that a LabVIEW application running the Web Server can be crashed from any machine that has access to it. The Browser Access List denial of an IP address will not prevent this crash.
I have reported the details and National Instruments has confirmed the report and responded with this: "Crashing LabVIEW Through the G Web Server Using TCP VIs"
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/4C3F86E655E5389886256BA00064B22F?OpenDocument. It turns out that this crash will only occur if the web server logging is enabled.
Aborting a server is generally categorized as a Denial of Service (DOS) attack. In this case, it is the LabVIEW application itself that aborts, web server and all. This can be more serious than the usual DOS if the application is perf
orming some other important activity by running VIs. They would unexpectedly abort along with the rest of LabVIEW.
This attack does not enable reading or writing drives, or otherwise controlling the host machine, the vulnerabilities that you asked about. I have even tried to trick the server into getting pages outside of its root directory without success.
If you are running a LabVIEW Web Server, you should certainly disable web server logging. If you could not tolerate an unexpected abort in some LabVIEW VIs that you are running and want to be even safer, I recommend that you do not run them in the same LabVIEW application that is running the LabVIEW Web Server. The principle here is compartmentalization.
On one hand, the small number of deployed servers, relative to other more numerous and attractive targets, has not attracted undesired attention. So you're pretty safe now. On the other hand, LabVIEW is growing and moving to the Internet, and LabVIEW systems control machin
es and chemical processes, not merely data and dollars. Think about the risks as well as the convenience of using the web.

How to deploy flex in web server

hi there.
im newbie flex developer and im having problem in deploying my project in web server.

Hi,
When you deploy your application, you make it available to customers. Typically, you deploy the application as a SWF file on a web server so that users can access it by using an HTTP request to the SWF file.
When you deploy the application's SWF file, you must also deploy all of the assets required by the application.
Deploying an application for Flex SDK and Adobe® Flex® Builder® might require you to perform some or all of the following actions:
Copy the application SWF file to your deployment server. As the previous example shows, you copy the application to webserver.example.com.
Copy any asset files, such as icons, media files, or other assets, to your deployment server.
Copy any RSLs to your web server or application server.
Copy any SWF files for your module to your deployment server in the same directory structure as you used for your development environment.
Copy any SWF files required to support Flex features, such as deep linking. For more information,
Write a wrapper for the SWF file if you access it from an HTML, JSP, ASP, or another type of page.A deployed SWF file can encompass your entire web application, however it is often used as a part of the application. Therefore, users do not typically request the SWF file directly, but request a web page that references the SWF file. Flex Builder can generate the wrapper for you, or, you can write the wrapper.
Create a crossdomain.xml file on the server for data service, if you directly access any data services outside of the domain that serves the SWF file.
Following link will help you.

When viewing documents on a Web Server, IE automatically opens a blank page and then opens the document in the default program. The blank screen should close automatically but isn't happening.

So here is the situation, my company uses a third party scanning software, that puts documents scanned or created onto a webserver. We use a program that grants a user access to view the documents on the webserver. The user will have to log into the system
using credentials, we have Kerberos doing this. Once the user is logged onto the system they navigate to the document they want to view or edit. So the user wants to view a .pdf file, they click the document they want, and it is supposed to open in the default
program associated with file extension. ie: .doc would open Word, .xls would open Excel. When the document is loading in the default program Internet Explorer opens a blank page, this page is supposed to prompt the user if they want to open or save the document.
(I changed the registry to have the files selected to automatically open without this prompt.) The blank screen generated is still staying open, this screen is supposed to close automatically after the prompt or close automatically after the document is opened.
So when a user is looking at several documents, this floods the screen with all these blank Internet Explorer pages. This problem is only occurring for users that have Windows 7 PC's, XP users do not have this problem at all. My PC is the only one in the company
that is Windows 7 64-bit, and working properly with the IE blank page automatically closing. I'm wondering what can be done to fix this problem, is it as simple as registering some .dll files or do I need to make a registry change? Any help would greatly be
appreciated.

What is the registry change exactly? Sounds like one which is supposed to avoid the prompt. I know
that there used to be such a thing, before the new prompt and I know that some users think that there should be such a thing for any program but I'm not sure if that expectation is valid or not. I think this may also be related to a concurrent change
in the OS. E.g. in XP we had File Types Options editor but starting in Vista that was removed. You might get some more clues on this tack from NirSoft's FileTypesMan utility.
The registry change that I did was to remove the open and save prompt. I will be sure to look into that. Our company
isn't worried about the user's automatically opening the files since they are all trusted. They also do not have the ability to install anything, so if they were to download a potentially harmful file they could never install it. We monitor downloads as well,
if they download files off the internet that aren't work related we remove their download capabilities.
Sounds like a scenario for using ProcMon to take two traces and compare them for their essential differences.
I talked to my boss about using this tool and he is worried about using it. I'm only an intern at my office and do not have the authority to use a program without their knowledge or consent. I will run the idea by them again and see if it's okay I use this.
I'll maybe make some presentation about how it can help us with our problem and how much time and money it will save. Because I really want to get down to the bottom of this.
Probably the most significant thing is going to be the Content-type that the files are being served by.
You could use the Developer Tools, Network Capture to check on that and ProcMon could help explain what happens after that. A related workaround to change the symptom when the Content-type is not what is expected is to disable MIME Sniffing (e.g. in
Security options, Miscellaneous section). In fact, perhaps that could explain your machine's difference with anyone else? MIME Sniffing is a default, previously known as "save according to type not extension" (or some such wording).
Okay I will be completely honest I have no idea how to use Developer Tools (F12), yes I could google it, when I tried using it on the blank pages it would never work, I also have no idea what I'm looking at. I should mention that I do not have access to
the web server. Our programming and development side only has access to our AS400, which is where the web server is located. I do have MIME Sniffing enabled and so does everyone else. I may be wrong but, I believe it is needed in order to open the file extension
in the correct default program, yes? I thought MIME Sniffing would see a .docx file and then find the appropriate program to open that .docx file in. I may be wrong but I know it's used somehow along these lines.

Unable to open .shtml file in Sun java web server 6.1

Hi,
I migrated my application from iPlanet 6.0 to Sun one web server 6.1 and after that I'm unable to open any .shtml file from my browser. This issue is not with all browser but only with few.
Ex : It works fine with firefox 1.x but fails with firefox 2.x
I tried adding the shtml_send Init parameters in Magnus.conf and edited the obj.conf, and my mime type has the following entry for shtml:
type=magnus-internal/parsed-html exts=shtml,jbhtml
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
SS

What is the exact version of Web Server you are using? Should be in the error logs or try $start -version
It would be faster if you can capture and cut and paste the data that is sent between firefox and Web Server in both the cases using /usr/sfw/bin/ssltap (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/tools/ssltap.html) or ethereal when you try to view that shtml file. We can see if its any different in both cases and try it from there.
Also verify the steps given in http://docs.sun.com/source/817-1832-10/pgshtml.html
mime.types should have :
type=magnus-internal/parsed-html exts=shtml
obj.conf should have :
Service fn="shtml_send" type="magnus-internal/parsed-html" method="(GET|HEAD)"
When you activate parsing, magnus.conf should have :
Init funcs="shtml_init,shtml_send" shlib="install_dir/bin/https/bin/Shtml.dll" NativeThreads="no" fn="load-modules"
Shtml.dll (or libShtml.so on UNIX), is located in install_dir/bin/https/bin for Windows, and install_dir/bin/https/lib for UNIX.

Disabling IP Communicator web server

How can I disable the web server on IP communicator? This is for security purpose.
We are using CM 4.2(1)sr1b

Hi Pascal,
Disabling the Internal Web Server
You can disable the internal web server for Cisco IP Communicator by creating a Windows registry value using the regedit utility.
Open Windows regedit from the command line or from Start > Run. In regedit, choose HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems, Inc.\Communicator. From the Edit menu, choose New > DWORD value. Rename the value WebServerDisabled (this value does not appear by default) and set it to any non-zero value. To enable the web server again, delete this key or set it to zero.

Unable to close open and blocked web server ports

I have been running the sun webserver 6.1 as a test development environment on my local pc (Windows 2000) at work. The machine crashed while the web server was running, and while the server instance stopped, the ports being used are still open and apparently, still being used. Restarting my machine does not solve the problem.
Using netstat (through cygwin - i am familiar with linux, and have been using cygwin as the easiest way to do many things with the web server) I can see that the ports are indeed being "used", however i cannot find any running processes (through the top or ps command or the task list) associated with the open ports. Also attempts to start the server again fail, and the server complains that the ports are currently being used.
In order to continue to develop I created a new domain using a different set of ports. Since then, I have (in zealous cleanup) removed the domain that was using those ports, and in attempting to setup a different webserver encountered the open ports.
I need/wish to stop the running processes and close the open ports. Any ideas?
Thanks in anticipation.

There are no such processes running in either the task manager or services.
I do not believe that the domain/web server is running, since the domain instance has since been removed.
However, the ports seems to be stuck on being "used".

Unable to open/edit project in project professional form PWA(project server 2010)

i have been working perfectly and opening my projects with project professional from PWA
All of a sudden,i get this error: no permission to read enterprise global file when trying to edit my projects in project professional from the PWA
i have also tried opening the project from project professional directly and it says (you do not have sufficient permissions to perform the requested action)
please what is the cause of this issue and what can i do to resolve it?

Hello kehinde,
The cause of this problem is somebody changed something.
To resolve, I would clear out the cache to see if that resolves anything.
Then, I would reboot system and see if that resolves.
If still no go, then I would look into security settings, and start doing some detective work. I keep a version of project server in a separate instance, that is completely out of the box, so I can have a reference point for settings.
If still not solution, then I would resave the global file settings.
Cheers!

Unable to open external list : Error : Unable to render the data. If the problem persists, contact your web server administrator.

Hi,
Please note we are using SQL Server 2008 for sharepoint. Does it matter for this issue?
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to open external list.
Please change the External Content’s connection properties’ Authentication Mode to BDC identity.
Then launch the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell and run the PowerShell commands to remove the error.
