B4a_server Problem

[jddiven]

I’ve been trying to get b4a_server to work on a server with little success. The server has no connection to the internet so I’ve had to work through a local connection to modify it. This is where I am to date.
1) I’ve installed the following on the server:
a) FastCGI 1.5(x86)RTW
b) Java™ SE Development Kit 7 Update 5
c) Java™ 7Update 5
d) Java FX 2.1.1
e) Java FX 2.1.1 SDK
f) MYSQL Server 5.0
g) PHP 5.2.17
2) At C:\Inetpub\wwwroot on the server I installed
a) b4aserver.jar
b) b4a_server.php
c) logo.jpg
d) iisstart
e) files
i) bwlogo.png
ii) logo.jpg
iii) logo.png
f) config
g) run
h) localstart
i) functest.php (my php test file)
j) test.php (showinfo())
3) I created several blank MySQL databases.

I've attached text files showing the contents of the b4a_server.php and config files on the server and the error log and zip file from the IDE.

When I run the program and press a button on the device it take about 30 seconds for the task to fail.

What's happening? I would appreciate any help anyone could give me.

The dns of the Buffalo Wireless Router is set to 192.168.1.1

What else could be causing the problem?

I believe Erel said in an earlier post that the database got wiped when the Java Server received the device's connection request, however, my database keeps building.

what do you think is going on there?

Thanks for all of your help!

The Java server is probably not working or unable to access the PHP script.

 

[jddiven]

How can I correct that?

Thanks for your help.

 

[Erel]

You should check your configuration. Check the Java server logs.

I recommend you to first use the "board" server hosted on basic4ppc.com. It should work with the default settings. Only then try to install it locally.

Unfortunately, the server that I'm working with has no connection to the internet.

If I try to execute the executable jar file, this is what I get.

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot>java -jar b4aserver.jar
Invalid or corrupt jarfile b4aserver.jar

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot>

When I use a fresh copy of the jar file from a cd that I burned with B4aServer-desktop on 30-Jul-12, I get this.

C:\Program Files\Logistics>java -jar b4aserver.jar
Invalid or corrupt jarfile b4aserver.jar

C:\Program Files\Logistics>

I don't believe that the jar file is corrupt but that's what I get.

Thanks for your help!

There is a batch file named run.bat which you should use to start the java server.

 

[jddiven]

Getting there!

This morning I accessed the server and ran run.bat. Then I executed the same java command from the command prompt.

After I did that I ran the B4AServerExample on my Galaxy tablet. It worked perfectly.

I left both windows from launching the jar file open and captured the information. (See Attachments)

I rebooted both the server and my Galaxy and recompiled the B4AServerExample. The program again hung up trying to reconnect with the Galaxy.

I logged onto the server and ran run.bat. This time it worked. I logged off of the server and recompiled the program which worked.

What do you think the hang up is now?

I really appreciate all of your help!

The connection broke. The logs do not show why.
