Error Reporting
The PLB Web Server supports HTTP capabilities that allow Windows General Protection Fault (GPF) information to be posted to a web server. When transferring the GPF information, this data is compressed and encrypted to provide secure communications with the target web server. In addition, the Sunbelt CGI utility named 'suncgi' must be installed at the target web server to process the HTTP communications data as received from the PL/B Web Server.
A command line option '-ht' exists for the PL/B Web Server. When the '-ht' command line option is executed, a test HTTP message is posted to web server configured for the PL/B Web Server. In this case, a file named 'test.txt' is transferred to the web server. This command line option verifies that the HTTP communications is working as expected. The ADMIN_SRVNAME keyword string is placed in the 'test.txt' file along with a date and time to give an accurate identification for the test data.
The following keywords are optional. When used, they can be placed in the [Environment] section of the PL/B Web Server '.ini' configuration file. These keywords configure situations that may require special setup to access a web server that collects the GPF data using the HTTP interface.

Keyword |
Meaning |
|
ADMIN_HTTP_ADDR={i/p address}[:{port}] |
This keyword is optional. If it is not specified, the default 'www.sunbelt-plb.com' URL accesses the Web Server. This keyword is only needed to specify the URL/IP address for special configurations where the default URL can not be used. For example, this keyword may be required when a proxy server is used by an end-user.
The default port number is 80. However, the optional {port} can be specified with a ':' character delimiter to set a port number to va value other than the default. |
|
ADMIN_HTTP_COMMAND={command} |
This keyword is optional. If this keyword is not specified, the default command 'http://www.sunbelt-plb.com/cgi-bin/suncgi.exe' accesses the Web Server for transferring the GPF data. Normally, this keyword is not required to access the Sunbelt Web Server. This keyword is only need for special situations where the default command cannot be used. |
|
ADMIN_REPORT_GPF=[ON|OFF] |
This keyword enables the GPF logging support. If this keyword is not specified, the default is the same as OFF. |
Example of PLBWEBSRV INI entries:
[Environment]
ADMIN_REPORT_GPF=ON
ADMIN_HTTP_ADDR=192.168.0.102
ADMIN_HTTP_COMMAND=/suncgi.exe
