APROL: Usage of Controller's Integrated Web Server (no MappView)

I am working with APROL 4.2 and Automation Studio 4.5.3, and I am not using MappView. I am following the Automation Studio Help for setting up the Integrated Web Server, but I am still unclear about a few concepts.

What I Have Done:

  • I have activated the Web Server in both Automation Studio (AS) and APROL.

  • From my understanding, AS looks for a “web” directory containing the HTML files.
  • I have tried placing the web directory in several locations on my APROL VM:
    • C:\
    • C:\APROL_EXCHANGE
    • C:\APROL_EXCHANGE\Aprol1
    • C:\APROL_EXCHANGE\Aprol1\Logical
  • However, I always get Error Number 20708 - 404 Not Found when trying to access the pages.

My Questions:

  1. Where should I place the “web” directory and HTML files so the Integrated Web Server can find them?
  2. The AS Help mentions:

If FTP access is enabled for the controller via AS, web server data can be transferred manually via FTP client to the web server directory configured on the user partition in AS.

  • How do I enable FTP access in AS for loading HTML/ASP pages?
  • Where exactly should I place the HTML/ASP pages when using FTP?

I appreciate any guidance on this. Thanks!
