Resolver One Web Server Documentation

Resolver One Web Server allows you to publish any Resolver One spreadsheet so that it can be used over a network using a web browser.

Preparing a file to be served up by the Web Server

  • The Resolver One Web Server can serve any file saved from Resolver One.
  • In order for cells to be changeable from the web they must be set as ''Web Editable''. This is done by selecting some cells and clicking "Web Editable" in the "Data" menu. These cells can then be changed through a web browser when that file is loaded into the web server.

Running the server

The server itself is run from a windows command line, and will serve any Resolver One spreadsheets which have been saved in a specified directory.

  • Open a command line window (Select "Run" from the Windows Start menu and enter "cmd").
  • Change to the Resolver One directory. By default this is c:\Program Files\Resolver One.
  • Start the web server by running bin\ResolverOneWebServer c:\ResolverFiles
  • ...where c:\ResolverFiles is the path to the directory that holds the Resolver One files you want to publish.
  • The message Resolver One Web Server started on port 8080 will be shown to indicate it is running.

Any web browser pointed at the port 8080 on that PC will then see the Resolver One files that are in the specified directory. To connect to the server from the machine running the server visit http://localhost:8080/ using a web browser.

If you want the server to use a different port, for example port 80 (the default for Web browsing), you can specify that after the directory on the command line.
