To validate the installation of the Genero Application Server without involving a Web
server, launch the stand-alone Genero Application Server and run a Genero Desktop Client demo
application.
By default, the demo applications must be run from the localhost, due to configuration
settings in the Genero Application Server configuration file.
- Set the GAS environment by executing the script $FGLASDIR/envas.
- Launch the GAS Standalone (httpdispatch). For
more information on starting the GAS standalone, and the various command
options available, see Startup
and Command Options.
- Using Internet Explorer, check the connection to the GAS by displaying the Demos page, using a
URI that provides a direct connection to the standalone GAS:
http://localhost:6394/demos.html
- Using Internet Explorer, launch the Demos application. The Demos application is provided with
the installation files, is preconfigured, and ready to run.
http://localhost:6394/wa/r/gdc-demo
The first time you access to the demo application, the ActiveX will install by itself. For more
information, refer to the ActiveX topics in the Genero Desktop Client User
Guide.
Important: When
you install the GAS using the .msi setup program, it sets the
ADDRESS element
(child of
INTERFACE_TO_DVM)
to "127.0.0.1" within the
as.xcf file. When validating your
installation, if the Demos application fails to display (and you receive
a runtime error), you may have to replace the
INTERFACE_TO_DVM's
ADDRESS element
with the true IP address for the host machine.
