Setting Up PxPlus Web Server |
|
The PxPlus Web Server can be installed on either Windows or UNIX/Linux/AIX systems.
The PxPlus Web Server can be installed as a Windows Service using one of the following methods:
Method 1: From the PxPlus IDE Main Launcher
Expand the Installation and Setup category and select Install Windows Services to launch the Install Windows Services interface. From the Type of Service drop box, select PxPlus Web Server. After entering the service settings in the grid, select the Install button.
Method 2: By entering "*plus/web/service"
This utility can be run to install/uninstall the Web Server. See Setting Up Web Server as a Windows Service.
In UNIX, Linux or AIX, the standard PxPlus installation comes complete with three shell scripts:
|
|
runconfig |
Runs the Web Server Configuration |
|
|
runserver |
Starts the Web Server in the background |
|
|
stopserver |
Stops the Web Server |
Use these scripts to start, stop and configure your Web Server, or if using WindX to connect to the server, use the PxPlus IDE to access them.
For Windows installations, you will need the following two shortcuts:
|

Your path\PxPlus VX.X\pxplus.exe webhide.ini *web\webserv -arg server_name |
