Hosting Xb2net web server

[sstone]

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience with running an Xb2net web server on the server of a web hosting company? I created an application which works when hosted on my pc. I uploaded the program and data files on the server of a popular web hosting company but did not know how to execute the program file to get the server started. The technicians at this company are not familiar with Xb2net and therefore have not been able to help. Any suggestions?

Hello,

First of all, your webserver application need to run on a Windows platform.
Second, the portnumber you are using must be availeble, eg not used by another process.
At last, make sure the portnumber is not blocked by a firewall or router.

If possible, change your xb2net application to a service.
Webservers seem to restart regulary (after a windows update), and do not log in automaticly.
The service can start before login to windows.

Hi Jack,

I have never run an application as a service but in examining the sample Xbase++ HttpService it seems that you have to have adminstrator rights to run services. I do not think my account with the hosting company provides those privileges. I will have to check out that possibility with tech support.
