Question

Having difficulty publishing to a server - Do I really need to use Tomcat?

Hi there

I and one of our network administrators have been combing through the forums and posts to try and determine why I am unable to publish to the robohelp server using "HTTP".  I am successfully able to publish to this server using "File System".

So, my question is if this is an internal database (only users who have access through AD will be able to reach it), do I really need to use "HTTP"?  If I use the "File System" to publish, what functionality do I lose by not using "HTTP"?

Thank you for your help.

The solution to my problem had to do with the way RoboHelp Server and Tomcat had been originally installed. The software had not been registerd. Additionally, the network administator had to create an "area" to where the databases could be published. Once that was completed, I was able to select the area as instucted an earlier post. The issue of VM ware and having a D:\drive were completely irrelevant.

Hi there

File System should work just fine as long as you have a mapped channel to the server.

If you can publish that way, just ignore the HTTP publishing.
