Internet Toolkit Troubleshooting Wizard

Internet Toolkit Configuration

Follow these steps to prepare the Internet Toolkit for use:

Important: If you are using LabVIEW 5.0 or higher with version 1.0 of the Internet Developers Toolkit (check for a folder labview\vi.lib\addons\internet; if you do not have it, you are using version 1.0), then you need to delete the following VI library:

labview\user.lib\internet\image\printvis.llb

LabVIEW 5.0 implements some VIs in this library independently, and must use those other versions in order to function properly.
If you are using version 1.0 of the toolkit and your LabVIEW version is higher than 4.0.1, you will need to perform a Mass Compile of several directories before you run the HTTP Server or use VIs from the Toolkit. The directories to compile are:
- labview\internet
To perform a Mass Compile on the contents of a given directory and its subdirectories, open LabVIEW and go to File >> Mass Compile, then navigate to the desired directory and press the "Select Cur Directory" button.
In order to access the helpful online example page using your G Web Server, you will have to set the root location of the Server to labview\internet\home--a directory that contains an index.htm file that was installed along with the toolkit.

To set this location, go to Project >> Internet Toolkit >> Configuration >> HTTP Server Configuration:

Press the disk icon on the resulting configuration VI front panel, navigate to labview\internet\home, and choose "Select Cur Directory."
Other mail-, ftp-, and server-related configuration settings can be edited either by using the configuration VIs available under the Project menu, or else by editing the configuration textfiles directly. However, no other settings need to be changed before you can run the G Server and examine the online examples.

For more information about configuring the Toolkit, consult your user's manual and explore the contents of the labview\internet\http\conf directory.
