I need help to deploy my first EWB application + first EDB database.

I've declared 2 sessions in ElevateDB Manager, one for EWB app, one for a EWB Delphi module.

Here is my file structure, witch I have packed into a setup:
CheckApp
 \ DB  
     (database files)
 \ www  
     \ images
     \ check.html
     \ Check.js
 EDBConfig.xxx
 ewbsrvr.exe
 libeay32.dll
 ssleay32.dll
 checkmodule.dll

I've made EWBSRVR.exe configuration locally
- LocalConfigPath = .
- LocalTempTablesPath = "."
- Port 8822
I've tested successfully the connection to my database, and populated datasets.
Then I've packed all this and copy on my remote server.

Alas, the webserver configuration is not kept.
I have to reconfigure it manually on the new machine, but I'm stuck with
- "Session name "XXX" already exists" messages.

Also, trying to access the application via <localhost>:8822/check.html
- "Resource not found"

Is there a way to save a EWBSRVR config file?
Is there a better way to perform all this, as I'd rather a scriptable one for my clients to deal with this.

Thanks

Please, can I can have some directions with my problem?

I can't help a lot because I don't use the EWB server, but I would be looking at the EDBConfig.xxx files as they are typically containing paths and the like which probably already has your session in, and you need to modify the session rather than create a new one.

I think the server config is in one of the system data paths isn't it? Quite a lot of info at https://www.elevatesoft.com/manual?action=viewtopic&id=ewb2&topic=Configuring_Server but you've probably seen it.

Hi DidierL,

Did you check in task manager if you have multiple copies of ewb web
server running? If so close all and start from scratch, also start
ewbsrvr.exe and check all properties are set/correct (eg port number).

You don't want to use relative path names for the configuration path or the temp tables path.  If you're worried about drive letters, then just use a path like '\MyApplication\DB'.

That is most likely coming from your EWB Web Server module, and is most likely due to you not setting the TEDBSession.AutoSessionName property to True:

Make sure that your Content Folder for the EWB Web Server

Yes, you can do this.  The EWB Web Server configuration file is simply an .ini file, and you can find out more information on the settings here:

under "Configuration Reference" (towards the bottom).

Thank you for your help Tim,
EWBSRVR.ini and AutoSession solved my main issues.
