Part 8: HostingWEBDEV sites 225 Managing the remote debugging The WEBDEV administrator can allow (or not) the remote debugging of dynamic WEBDEV sites. If the remote debugging is allowed, the following parameters must be specified: • Main port (27 271 by default). • Range of ports for sessions (between 27 282 and 27 289 by default). The "Default" button is used to restore the default values. 2.6 Advanced options The "Advanced" tab is used to configure the advanced features at server level: • Manage the Web server: • Choose one of the Web servers installed on the current computer to run the WEBDEV sites. • Check the configuration of the current computer. • Specify the name or IP address of the current computer. • Display a test page: • Display in the browser a page used to start all WEBDEV sites installed on the current computer. • Display in the browser a page used to start all WEBDEV web services installed on the current computer. • Perform a search for the expired pages. • Manage the print jobs. • Configure error messages displayed in the browser. • Perform various configurations: • Manage the emails in asynchronous mode. • Manage the server sockets. • Forbid the change of IP while navigating. • Don’t allow access to AWP context identifiers from JavaScript. • Manage the fCopyFileWebFolder and fDeleteFileWebFolder functions. • Require a secure connection (https) for remote administration sites. The following options are available for the WEB server: • Server used : The "Server" button is used to choose one of the Web servers installed on the current computer to run the WEBDEV sites. Caution : This server will be used for all the dynamic WEBDEV sites installed on this computer. If the server used is not found in this list, choose "Other". You will have to manually configure the Web server used. For more details about the configuration of specific servers, see the online help. • Diagnostic : "Diagnostic" checks the configuration of the current computer. This diagnosis checks: • whether the FTP/IP protocol is installed • whether a Web server (HTTP server) is started • whether the AWP protocol manager is configured properly • whether the necessary WEBDEV executables are found. The dynamic WEBDEV sites will not operate if one of these conditions is not fulfilled. For more details, see the online help. • Name or IP address of the current computer : The WEBDEV administrator allows you to specify a name or an IP address to identify a specific computer. You also have the ability to specify the port number. For example: localhost:8080. This computer will be used: • when clicking the "Diagnostic" button. • when clicking the "Test page" button. • when running the test of a site, page, report, ... from the WEBDEV editor ("GO" icon). • Test : The "Test page" opens a page in the browser to start each one of the dynamic WEBDEV sites and dynamic WEBDEV Webservices installed on this computer. For more details on testing a WEBDEV site, see 5. Site test in practice. In the "Search for expired pages" section, you can search for expired pages. The "Allow searching for expired pages" option allows you to enable and configure the search for expired pages in WEBDEV sites handled by the WEBDEV Application Server. In "Print jobs", you can choose the default printer (Intranet sties only). The "Print jobs" button is used to select the default printer that will be used when printing on a local printer or on a network printer of Web server. In "Error messages", you can configure the error messages shown in the browser. The "Errors" button shows the different error messages that can be displayed in the user’s browser. You have the ability to customize the error message and the HTML page where the error message is displayed.
