local install of application builder

JonFisher — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 14:35:09 GMT

Is it only possible to install the application builder on my web server, or can I install it locally and then transfer over the application once complete (I would much prefer this workflow). During installation I created a folder to match the default (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\flexviewers) and set the web server base as http://localhost/flexviewers but I get an error saying "please check your web server base url." I've tried substituting my IP address for localhost, trying other folders, and many other variations (including the base URL of my server which is what I would really like) with no success.

Our server is pretty locked down with regard to installing new software and doesn't allow many simultaneous users, so I'd much prefer to let my users (and myself) install the app builder locally and transfer over the app to the server when it's ready to deploy. Any tips? Is this possible and I'm just doing it wrong, or can I only install the app builder on the server?

Jon

Do you have a cross domain file under wwwroot? Really best way is to install locally and on the web server. Web server for deployment, locally to build and test, unless of course you have a Test Server.

Do you have a cross domain file under wwwroot? Really best way is to install locally and on the web server.

Indeed I do, and to be safe I put it both under wwwroot and under the flexviewers subfolder. The contents of it are as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
    <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="master-only"/>
 <allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false" />
</cross-domain-policy>

Since it is recommended to install it locally ( in addition to the web server) it sounds like this should be working. I'm really hoping I don't have to configure my laptop as a server just to be able to configure the viewer. If so, I might just skip it entirely and go back to modifying xml files manually. thanks for any tips you can provide.

Jon,

All you should have to do is ensure that your laptop has IIS installed. To do this go to add and remove programs (XP) or Programs and Feature (win7) and "Add and remove windows components" (XP) or "Turn Windows features on or off" (win7) and make sure Internet Information Services (IIS) is installed. I personally use a laptop with Win 7 and one of my development machines.

JonFisher — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 17:11:37 GMT

Thanks Robert, that did it! I figured that since I could always use FlashBuilder without IIS I wouldn't need it here either for development purposes, but I guess I was wrong.

I'm getting a couple dozen errors when trying to load the 3.0 prerelease. I am using Flash Builder 4.6 and I have tried using flex sdk 4.5 and 4.6 but both produce a number of errors (right now I am successfully using flash builder 4.6 and flex sdk 4.6 for a number of flexviewer 2.5 apps). I did downloaded the Flex API 3.0 and imported the swc into the project so that's not the issue. Any ideas? Thanks!

What are the errors? Do you see them right after importing the project?

M Lowry,

You need to be using the agslib-3.0pre-2012-03-15.swc

Thanks Robery, just d/l'ed and recompiled, good to go now, no errors.
Wow, the website guys certainly don't make that easy to find!!!!

It is here for posterity:
http://www.esri.com/apps/products/download/index.cfm?fuseaction=download.main&downloadid=701

All of the links they have send you to the Viewer section which is here:
http://www.esri.com/apps/products/download/index.cfm?fuseaction=download.all#ArcGIS_Viewer_for_Flex

On that page, search for "ArcGIS API for Flex" and you will find the API downloads. Of course they are not next to each other of even close.

Thanks for the links, I must have been using a different release of the API (maybe 3.0 beta). Compiled without error once I used the links above. Thanks.

I'm using FB 4.0.1 and 4.1 SDK. I have imported the 3.0 Prerelease FV source code and added the agslib-3.0pre-2012-03-15.swc to the FB libs folder.

I am getting a bunch of errors.

I looked at this page to see if FB 4.0 is still supported: http://resourcesbeta.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-viewer/concepts/index.html#/Getting_started_for_developers/01m30000001q000000/

Any ideas?
Thank you

Eric,

The Flex Viewer 3.0 Pre Release has a minimum Adobe SDK 4.5 requirement.

Requires Adobe Flex 4.5 SDK or higher, which in turn requires at least Flash Player 10.2.

because the Viewer is based on the API and the 3.0 API requires Adobe SDK 4.5 as minimum.

I'm running XP 64bit with Flash Player v 11.1.60, downloaded sdk 4.6 (and checked Use default SDK 4.6) and beta FV 3.0 (I'm a FV modify xml type of guy) and ran it in Flash Builder 4.5 (to test my modifications). I set the Flex compiler Adobe Flash Player options to
Use a specific version 11.1.60
No errors occurs when I compile.
But when I try to run it, I get a "Required Adobe Flash Player version not installed" window. It says C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\Flash10u.ocx
This project requires a more recent version of Adobe Flash Player. You might need to install the Flash Player or reinstall Flash Builder.
Installed Adobe Flash Player version: 10.3.181.34
Required version: 11.1.0.0
If I say No, the process stops.
If I say Yes, the Flexviewer tries to open up and wants me to upgrade to 11.2 Reading Adobe information, version 11.2 will not work on XP 64 bit.

My add/remove programs shows I'm running Flash Player 11.1.60
Is my Flash Builder corrupt or am I missing something?

You might have different versions running in different browsers...

You can see what version you have installed at:
https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Also, the 32 bit Flash Player can run on 64 bit systems when running in a 32 bit browser.

You can also test this using Chrome which includes its own Flash Player plugin.

Dasa,
I went to your link, and it does say I'm running v 11.1.60
Maybe I need to uninstall it and install the latest version. Your thoughts??
