Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
WebSpeed 3.1x
OpenEdge 10.x
SYMPTOM(s):
Error occurs when trying to open a file through the 'File Open' window in AppBuilder
Getting: An error occurred while reading the WebSpeed directory and will be displayed in your Web browser
After click 'Ok', get a directory listing of the remote broker's working directory displayed in the browser instead of in the 'File Open' window.
Check the temporary file, pXXXXXws.tmp (where XXXXX is a random number), that is generated with the output received from the Webserver. The temp file pXXXXXws.tmp lists:
<html><head><title>Error</title></head><body>The system cannot find the file specified. </body></html>
or
<html><head><title>Site Not Found</title></head><body>No web site is configured at this address.</body></html>
Using AppBuilder in 'Remote Development' mode
Error does not occur when using file open function from workshop, directly from browser
Pings works fine from AppBuilder's Preferences
Can access Workshop
Broker on different machine than app builder
Using Apache web server with Vitual Hosts configured
CAUSE:
When vitual hosting is enabled from Apache, it requests host header information. However, the OCX the AppBuilder uses is HPPT 1.0 compatible only, thus it is not sending the host header information.
Note, the problem can only be seen with Vitual Host is enabled becaue Vitual Hosting requires host header information.
FIX:
Disable vitual hosting, thus host header is not required
Vitual hosting is not tested or supported by Progress
