Table 5 0 The Web Server Dialog Box Fields
Field Name Description
Enable Server When checked, Enable Server turns on VEE’s built-in Web
server. The Web server allows a remote user to view,
monitor and troubleshoot VEE programs on your system, by
using a Web browser to display your VEE program.
VEE’s Web server uses the standard HTTP protocol. By
default, Enable Server is OFF (not checked). Your system
must be connected to a network, VEE must be running, and
the remote user must have a Web browser running for the
remote user to access the VEE Web server.
Root Directory Specifies the location of files that are accessible to a
remote user. The default is
~installDir/www. For Windows
98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP, if VEE
Pro 7.0 is installed with the defaults, this field will read:
C:\Program Files\Agilent\VEE Pro 7.0\www.
• Do not put private files in this directory or any of its
subdirectories, since they can be viewed by any remote
user with a Web browser that has access to your
system.
• VEE installs the file
index.html in the default Web
server Root Directory when you install VEE. By default,
the file will be in
C:\Program Files\Agilent\VEE
Pro 7.0\www\index.html
. This is the default VEE
Web server home page, which can be displayed when a
remote user accesses your system. (You can edit the
home page for your needs, if you like.)
• If you change the root directory for Web files, move the
index.html file to the new directory and do not change
its name.
