Configuring a Web Server on WinCE 5.0

Hi all,

I'm trying to configuring a Web server.
Following the instrction of the help (How to configure a web server) when I
try to connect to

http://localhost/webadmin

I get an error HTTP 404.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance,

Paolo

404 means that the server is running, you connected to it on the same
device (if you aren't using the device's own browser you should
replace "localhost" with your device IP address) and the server can't
find the page you requested.
if you type simply:
http://localhost (or http://<your device IP>) you should see a welcome
page.
Webadmin, if I recall correctly, it's a web-administration interface
and you should include a component to have this feature on your device
webserver (and maybe customize it to support all the configuration
features you need).

The WebAdmin utility is not included by default when Web Server is included
in the image. You'll need to add SYSGEN_ISAPI_CONFIG=1.
http://blogs.msdn.com/cenet/archive/2005/04/27/412600.aspx has details on
adding components, i don't know where exactly in the catalog the Web Admin
is included in CE 5.0.

Also note that this feature is mostly for OEMS/ISVs, allowing an end user to
configure web server on a headless device could cause security and/or
locking yourself out issues.
