Web Server Base Folder URL Error

MalcolmEchaluce

Hello,

I'm new to ArcGIS Viewer for Flex so please bear with me.

I'd like to keep everything on my local for now while I play around with this tool. I've kept everything to default, and it automatically changed my machine name to its IP address. I'm unable to get it past this. It tells me to "Please check your Web Server Base Folder URL!" Attached is a screenshot. Does anybody have any advice?

Thanks in advanced!

Johannes,

Do you have a flexviewers folder in your C:\htdocs folder?

johannesschied

Thanks a lot!

I tried this configuration, but again the web server base folder ist not found or wrong.

The folder on C: exsists and http://localhost returns "It works!" but with http://localhost/flexviewers I get 404 returned

thanks

Johannes,

When setting up Application Builder for Flex you have to specify the "Web Server Base Folder", which in your case using Apache would be "C:\htdocs\flexviewers" most likely. and then your "Web Server Base Folder URL" which would be "http://localhost/flexviewers". Is this what you have?

Hi, I have the same issue, but installed apache. When testing http://localhost firefox returns: "It works!", trying http://localhost/flexviewers --> not found.

I am totaly new to flex and servers. Do I have to create a kind of folder in apache, if yes how do I do this?

Any help or recommendation is welcome!

edit: installed also IIS, in menu of IIS there is the connection localhost\Sites\Default Web Site\flexviewers but in a browser I have no possibity to open it?

Thanks a lot

Carlos,

The use of App Builder assumes that your system meets the System requirements.
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-viewer/concepts/index.html#/System_requirements/01m30000002t000000/
Have you read this and do you have IIS or Apache installed on your PC?

Best answer I have seen in 3 hours. I have windows 7 installed on my computer and the instructions to turn on the IIS is found here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725762.aspx I was getting the error because I didn't meet system requirements. Best of luck!

Hi Lsanderson83,

Did you finally solve the problem. I got stuck in the same point. I cant connect with my localhost, and I get the same message from my explorer when I type http://localhost

I realize this is an old thread, but I am in this same situation and figure this is better than opening a new one. I am extremely new to server/programming, and am looking to just get this going locally to play with and learn. I have Windows 7, and had to download IIS Express (as I was in that special case where full IIS can't be installed). I installed the Flex Viewer into the correct folder (wwwroot), but still get this error.

What is really frustrating, is it has worked twice before when I have gone through clicking a bunch of different files in the IIS Express folder/Webmatrix. But since I don't know what is causing it to work/if that is still possible, I'm looking for any advice I can get on what I should be doing to make my Web Server Base Folder URL work.

try this ---- > Http://localhost:80/flexviewer

Malcolm,

Then you still have an issue with the setup of IIS and you need to get with your IT Dept to get that figured out first.

MalcolmEchaluce

Malcolm,

What do you get when you type http://localhost in the address bar of your browser and click enter?

I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage."

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Malcolm,

MalcolmEchaluce

Malcolm,

So now that you have IIS installed and have restarted your computer are your issues still there?

Thank you, Robert. I posted this yesterday about my issue:
"I was able to get it past the Settings page by copying the exact same path in Web Server Base Folder to Web Server Base Folder URL. I'm sure this can't be right?

I've tried putting in every possible path under the Web Server Base Folder URL and was only able to get it to get past the error after doing what I did above. Any thoughts? "

I got past the error, although after playing around with it, I've discovered that it's not a solution, so back to square one. The error is essentially unresolved.

Malcolm,

So you have gone to "programs and Feature" in control panel (on Win 7) and then "Turn Windows features on or off" and ensured you actually have IIS (Internet Information Services) installed (because it is not installed by default)? This is all part of the getting started documentation:

http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-viewer/concepts/01m3/01m300000021000000.htm

I actually didn't have IIS on my computer. I had to install it after trying to locate it then and discovered I didn't have it. I don't have Windows 7. I have XP. I do have IIS6 under Control Panel, Administrative Tools. See attached.

Hi guys,

So does that inetpub\wwwroot\flexviewers folder exist?

Might want to change the IP address to the name of your machine. Can you post a screenshot of your IIS Manager directory?

I was able to get it past the Settings page by copying the exact same path in Web Server Base Folder to Web Server Base Folder URL. I'm sure this can't be right?

I've tried putting in every possible path under the Web Server Base Folder URL and was only able to get it to get past the error after doing what I did above. Any thoughts?

MalcolmEchaluce

Yes, the folder does exist (see screenshot).

I tried http://localhost/flexviewers/ , but had no luck.

IIS Manager ... ummm, I do not think I have IIS Manager (I looked where it would be for Windows 7). I appreciate your patience, I am a student and this is quite new for me.

Any additional suggestions? Thanks!

I didn't have IIS Manager on my machine either, but I believe you can download it from Microsoft for free. Read up on it here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=2299.

Good luck! I hope we can get this working soon...

Hello,

Thanks for your response. The inetpub\wwwroot\flexviewers folder does exist on my machine. See attachment.

As for changing the IP address to the name of my machine, I have changed it to that and it didn't work. I even named it "localhost" and it didn't work. I've run out of things that I could possibly name my machine that would make it work. Attached is a screenshot of my IIS Manager directory. It is empty...

Again, thank you for your help!
