Rev 4.0 ASP.NET

Hi

Does anybody know if a 4.0 RunRev Revlet application should work on an ASP.NET website?

Just that I have uploaded a revlet to my website using visual web developer express 2008 edition and works fine when you test my website in a browser but when I upload my files to my web hosts server, the runrev application doesnt work - it's not even displayed.

Anyone else having this problem? Could I be doing something wrong or do Revlets only work on Linus at the moment?

Cheers

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Since the browser eventually simply reads and interpretes HTML code, regardless of using PHP, ASP or something else, it must be possible to serve a revlet through an ASP server.

I assume that you are using an MS Windows server. It appears that there are a few problems with MS Windows servers. If you can use Apache instead, your revlet should work fine, even if served from a Windows machine (but through Apache).

Best,

Mark

Hi Mark

I use a webhosting company called ukhost4u and upload my files to their server.

Are you saying that they must use windows instead of Apache then?

You may have to configure the MS-IIS web server to apply the correct MIME-type for the revlet file - it's possible that the server tries to send it to the browser as text rather than binary data.

Dear bsouthuk,

Apache runs in Windows and Unix (Linux) machines. Windows Server obviously runs on Windows machines only. The firm UKHost4u offers both Windows and Linux servers and they might have Windows servers that run Apache --I couldn't check that so quickly. You should probably check out the specifications of your server and see whether it is running MS Windows Server or Apache or both. If it is running only MS Windows Server, ask the company for a solution or wait until the Rev plug-in is completely compatible with Windows Server. BTW I believe you can't simply replace Windows Server with Apache if you want to use ASP. Hope this helps.

Best,

Mark
