EWB 2 and EWB modules |
Fri, Jul 3 2015 6:40 AM | Permanent Link |
Godfrey Ultimatesoft | Hi All
I bought EWB 1 and never used it, now I have upgraded to EWB2 and I really need to use it. I just cannot get my head around connecting to data via a web server. I dont have any web development experience other than visual html. I feel like a fool at this point, I have looked at the manuals/examples but cannot put everything together. I have a development server available which has MS Sql. I would like to create a simple web server(using EWB modules) on it and connect to to via EWB2. I have looked at the EWB datasetmodule 2 example, and I can see how to connect to the database. My problem is how do I deploy the EWB module(dll file) on my server? Can someone give me some simple steps to try and understand the concept of what I should be doing? Thanks Godfrey |

> Can someone give me some simple steps to try and understand the concept of what I should be doing? EWB modules are an extension of EWB Server, which is shipped with EWB: << The Elevate Web Builder Web Server allows modules created using Embarcadero RAD Studio and Delphi to be added to the web server and used to handle dynamic requests to the web server. This allows the developer to offload computationally-intensive or database-intensive work to the natively-compiled web server modules, and then use simple server requests in the front-end Elevate Web Builder applications to make requests to the modules and receive back responses along with the relevant data/content. >> Unless I missed something, I don't think you can use them with another server.

I want to use EWB modules as my server but I dont know how to deploy the dll created in Delphi, to my windows development server. I can create the dll that links to my database but how do I deploy it to my server. Godfrey |

Is this the correct process to deploy the Elevate web server: Copy the ewbsrvr.exe file from my development computer onto my windows server computer Run the ewbsrvr.exe file and setup web server Add custom modules Then decide whether to run it as a service or conventional app Godfey |

EWB does not handle deploying web server modules because they could be in use and you wouldn't necessarily want to give the FTP service the ability to overwrite your modules. The steps are: 1) Copy/FTP the module to your remote web server machine. 2) Stop the EWB Web Server. 3) Move/copy the module into the desired location, overwriting any existing module, if necessary. 4) Add the module to the EWB Web Server using the UI (run the EWB Web Server as a normal application): http://www.elevatesoft.com/manual?action=viewtopic&id=ewb2&topic=Configuring_Server under "Modules". If it's already added, just skip this step. 5) Restart the EWB Web Server. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

I've not done it as I use a server made via RemObjects SDK. -- Matthew Jones |
