ASPRunnerPro General questions

Dear Everyone,
Do you have a document explaining how to use the internal webserver that comes with Asp Runner Pro 7? I have opened the required ports in my firewall, but it still does not work to call localhost:8085/login.asp for logging in to my application. I have even tried with IIS locally, but it does not work either. A tutorial of some kind could be handy. Internal webservers are a tricky thing, judging from my own experience...

All you need to do is to make sure 'Built-in web server' option selected on 'Output directory' screen and then click 'View in browser' button on the last screen in ASPRunnerPro. There is no need to open ports in firewall since you only going to access it from there same machine.
Once you click 'View in browser' ASPRunnerPro launches built-in web server and opens correct URL in your default web browser.

You may want to first check before running asprunner to make sure that port 8085 is not already used on your workstation. A couple of other tips below. Hopefully one of them may help.

  1. To check if the port is in use, BEFORE starting up aspRunner go to a command prompt and type netstat -a. Look for port 8085 from another process.

    If found maybe that process could be disabled while you are using aspRunner.
  2. Temporarily disable your OS's firewall if it is running and try again.
  3. Temporarily disable your antivirus if it is running and try again.
    Hopefully one of these ideas may help.
