How to make webserver work

When I press SelectModel, my models do not appear. There is nothing to select.

I did the following:

Install webserver
Put the correct FlexSim program directory in flexsim webserver configuration.txt
Put the correct path for my models in flexsim webserver configuration.txt
Run Flexsimwebserver
Go to 127.0.0.1 on latest Edge version.

What I am doing wrong?

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.1.4

flexsim 21.1.4 webserver

Hey @Patrick Cloutier ,

The webserver is definitely running, or you wouldn't see that interface at 127.0.0.1

Please attach your config file and we'll see if anything sticks out to us.

Did you try putting fully static paths into the config file, rather than anything with the %percents% around it?

Here is the file. I had to write the full path for the model directory because Documents is in Onedrive and if I write %Documents% it says it can't find the directory. The path I wrote is the one I got when I right click the folder and go to Properties/General/Location.

flexsim webserver configuration.txt

When you pull up the page, the console should look like this if there were no errors:

To see the raw xml that it is returning you could try using this url:

http://127.0.0.1/webserver.dll?availablemodels

The model directory being in OneDrive might also cause problems. I've never tested that before.
