Finding the correct Web Server Base Folder URL - ArcGIS Viewer for Flex

RichardGeoghegan — Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:27:15 GMT

When getting started with ArcGIS Viewer for Flex I enter the following details;

Web Server Base Folder: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\flexviewers

Web Server Base Folder URL: my machine name followed by the \flexviewers (can't provide http address here)

However, I receive the following error message;

Please check your Web Server Base Folder URL.

I can't understand why the URL I provided isn't correct.

I am running on Windows 7 and have turned on II 6 Management Capability and Management Console. Is it possible that I need to share the folder on the server and if so how would I go about doing this?

Richard,

Are you placing http:// in the front of your machine name?

Here is mine as an example:

http://gislap183/flexviewers

Try using http://localhost/flexviewers as your base URL

Richard,

What do you get if you try hitting the webpage http://localhost from your web browser?

Richard,

Have you verified that you have IIS or some other web server software installed on your PC?

This must be the problem, I assumed that it was already installed. Thanks Robert.
