Labview Server

[cheatian]

Hi,

Good day. I need some advises. The labview provides us with its own server, right? If i want to run a labview remote panel, i have to enable the labview webserver where the root directory is located at National Instruments\LabVIEW 6.1\www, which means i have to save my html file in the directory right? In my case, I have another server which is the IIS (server by Microsoft), running in my pc. I use this IIS server to run my ASP and html file. My problem is, after I installed the IIS, i no longer can access the remote panel from the url provided by labview as i used to do. My question is, is it possible to run 2 server at the same time in the same pc? Is it possible to use the IIS to serve as my labview server? Instead of using server provided by labview, can i use other server, such as IIS? Thank you.

You just need to ensure that each web server is running on a different port. In LabVIEW, go to "tool..options..Web server configuration".

Uncheck "Use default" for the HTTP port entry and choose an unused port other than 80. (A list of standard port number assignments can be found at IANA, but in your case it is sufficient to stay away from any other server port used on that particular machine. (You could use e.g. port 81.)

Now use the "tools...web publishing wizard" and it will tell you the correct URL to use. If it is port 81, it would be e.g. similar to http://myLabVIEWmachine:81/mysite.htm

Thank you for your advises. Your do answer my problem. I think i know what to do now. I have tried port 81 and it works. By the way, the url provided looks like this: http://localhost:81/waterbath.htm. Is it when i get a static IP address, i just need to change the url to this: http://IPaddress:81/waterbath.html ? Then, i can run both the IIS server and labview server at the same time and navigate between them, right?

Thank you so much. You are indeed very helpful.

Take care.
