Although I am using the new beta i don't think this is a beta problem but one of my setup.

David at RTI is working on this but I missed him (3 hour difference) and I am hoping a brainiac will see this and respond instantly :)

I am using

Windows 7 current patches

Apache; but i really doubt that that is the problem

FireFox; seems to work on all other sites/pages

This Link shows the image of what I am seeing. Basically, when I go to the O4W startup page, http://localhost/examples/start.htm, I get the normal startup page. But if I click on anything else i get a "Open with/ Save file to" dialog box. If i save it it turns out to be html source. If i drop that file on the browser i get the second image here. What appears to be an incomplete html page.

Thoughts on why this is happening …

Try using just the localhost/start.htm, not the examples folder.

If that works, then you probably don't have the examples virtual folder defined in the apache.conf

Examine your registry entries where the oengineserver is located and make sure you "don't" have an examples entry.

Thanks for the quick reply ..

With out examples I get "404 Not Found".

The examples is defined (aliased if that is what you mean) in httpd.conf as

  Alias /examples/ c:/revsoft/OInsight/o4w/

which should work.

Thanks again

By the way, O4W is the only app that behaves like this on my apache

Dave, here are snippets from a working htpd.conf Apache configuration file that runs o4w just fine:

IfModule alias_module

  Alias /o4w/ D:/oinsight/O4W/

/IfModule

# Allow everyone access to the o4w folder

Directory D:/oinsight/O4W

  AllowOverride None

  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews +ExecCGI 

  AddHandler cgi-script .exe

  Order allow,deny

  Allow from all

/Directory

I added the top IfModule section (with tag markers .. we really need a CODE section). I already had the 'directory' section … defined as

<Directory "c:/revsoft/OInsight/o4w">

  AllowOverride None

  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews +ExecCGI

  AddHandler cgi-script .exe

  Order allow,deny

  Allow from all

</Directory>

I tried with 'examples' and without .. with 'o4w' and without. With 'examples' is the only one that brings up the start screen.

I will keep playing with this.

Thanks again David

Hopefully someone else will be able to help here …

This morning I talked with David at RTI and we checked for cookies etc which are fine. Then we tried using IE and guess what. O4W worked correctly. I then downloaded Chrome and it worked as Firefox did. Not allowing a new page from O4W.

So I am not sure where that leaves me except I know that i wont be using IE :)

If anyone out there is using Apache please let me know how it is working for you, set etc.

Thanks

Hi Dave,

I think the problem in in the mime.types file in the Apache conf directory

It is set to force a content type of application/x-msdownload if the url path end with ".exe"

Open the file in notepad and change the line (1084 in my file ) from

application/x-msdownload			exe dll com bat msi

to

application/x-msdownload			dll com bat msi

That fixed it for me.

Thanks bob .. as you know we also had to change mimetype. I will write this all up and get it off to you guys.

Thanks for all the hard work.
