Product Requirements
The MATLAB Web Server has the same supporting hardware and software
requirements as MATLAB itself, except for memory required. MATLAB
hardware and software requirements are documented in the MATLAB
Installation Guide for your computer.
Memory requirements while running the MATLAB Web Server vary with the
number of MATLABs configured. Each MATLAB running under the MATLAB
Web Server consumes 256 KB of memory.
The MATLAB Web Server requires that TCP/IP networking software must be
installed on your computer.
Web Requirements
Web Browsers
To submit input to and receive output from the MATLAB Web Server, you
must install a Web browser suitable for your platform. Current versions of the
MATLAB Web Server have been tested with Netscape Communicator Release
4.7 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0. Earlier browser releases will probably
also work but have not been tested.
The MathWorks does not redistribute these products. You can obtain them
directly from the companies that developed them. You can find additional
information at
http://www.netscape.com or http://www.microsoft.com.
Web Server
You need to install Web server software (HTTPD or similar) on the system
where MATLAB is running or on a machine that has network access to the
machine where MATLAB is running. There are numerous sources for
obtaining this software, including:
•Pre-installed Microsoft Peer Networking Services on your PC
•Netscape Enterprise Server, available by purchase from Netscape
Communications, Inc.
•Free distribution over the Internet (Apache:
http://www.apache.org)
The Web server software must be capable of running Common Gateway
Interface (CGI) programs.
