B Troubleshooting Web Server
B-4
1 matlabserver is not running.
On Solaris or Linux run the
webstat script. On Windows NT click the Start
button, open the
Control Panel, and choose Services. The status of MATLAB
Server
should be Started.
2 Port mismatch between matlabserver.conf and matweb.conf.
The default TCP/IP port that
matlabserver listens on is set at 8888. You
may change this setting in the
matlabserver.conf file with the -p option.
The port setting for each application configuration in the
matweb.conf file
must agree with the port setting in
matlabserver.conf. (See “Table 3-2:
matweb.conf Fields”.) If you have changed the port setting in
matlabserver.conf, you must similarly change the port setting in
matweb.conf using the mlport option. If mlport is not explicitly set, the
default of
8888 is assumed.
Locating matweb.conf
In some network configurations, it is not possible to give users access to the /
cgi-bin
directory of the HTTP server. In such cases a matweb.conf file should
be created with only one entry, containing the actual location of a configuration
file that users can edit. This entry must appear inside angle brackets
< >. An
example of this type of
matweb.conf file is
</apps/projects/strategy/matweb.conf>
where /apps/projects/strategy/matweb.conf is a valid accessible file.
Additional Troubleshooting for Windows NT
Using the Windows NT Event Viewer
The Windows NT Event Viewer captures data that can be useful for debugging
matlabserver operations even if you have not requested matlabserver logging
through the command options. To access the Event Viewer, choose
Start ->Programs ->Administrative Tools ->Event Viewer. When the Event
