Can't start MWS in SDK emulator

[cmterenci]

Hi - I have installed "S60 3RD EDITION SDK FOR SYMBIAN OS, FOR C++ (14.06.2006)
MAINTENANCE RELEASE" and the Mobile Web Server plugin. The MWS icon shows under "Installations" and can the application itself can be started.

I have the following two issues:
1.) The wizzard does only asks for the user name and password - but not for the Winsock APN. My assumption is that the MWS configuration is not completed which may be the cause for the following issue 2.)

2.) When I try to start the web server from the options menue - it never really starts, independent whether I choose the Internet or local option.


The file Epoc32\winscw\c\data\Web server\logs\error looks like this:

[Wed Sep 19 07:39:07 2007] [warn] (88)Function not implemented: apr_socket_opt_set: (TCP_NODELAY)
(22)Invalid argument: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
No listening sockets available, shutting down.
Configuration Failed

Any suggestions?

Kind regards,

That warning can be ignored and is not related to the problem.

Do you have a web-server running on your PC that already is using port 80? Namely, the emulator uses the network stack of the PC so if you have a web-server on the PC, then the web-server in your emulator will not start.

You can change the port used by MWS in the file conf/httpd.conf but if you do that, I'm not sure whether it will be possible to browse to it over the gateway. Browsing directly using the PC's browser should work.

This response helped me to fix the problem. Actually it was not a web server preventing MWS to run but Skype, which was stealing port 80. A really tricky issue - but now that is fixed. Here is how you disable Sykpe port 80 listening:

Thanks a lot!
