vqServer vqServer window


vqServer displays a window on your monitor while it is running. vqServer uses this window to display status messages and error messages. The window's menus control some vqServer features (vqServer's main user interface is the control centre which controls all vqServer features). This window is called the vqServer window in this documentation.

vqServer window menu options

  • File menu
    • Exit: Closes the window and shuts down vqServer (if you opened the window from the vqServer console or using the vqServer API closing the window does not shut down vqServer). You may notice a short delay before this command takes effect. Clicking the close box has exactly the same effect.
  • View menu
    • Display hits: enables the vqServer window connections display.
    • Clear window: deletes the contents of the vqServer window.
  • Servers menu
    • Switch server on or off: the menu contains a list of all the servers controlled by vqServer and the TCP/IP port associated with each server. If the server is switched on a tick is displayed next to its name. You can switch a server on or off by selecting it from the menu.
    • Change administration server port: See changing the administration server port.

vqServer window connections display

The vqServer window can display information about each request for information, or connection, dealt with by vqServer. This is useful for debugging purposes. To turn this display on or off, select Display hits from the Settings pull-down menu. The window displays the following four lines for each request handled by vqServer:

  1. The time and date the request was received, the name and IP address of the computer making the request and the authenticated name of the individual making the request (if applicable).
  2. The HTTP request header line as understood by vqServer.
  3. The HTTP result code returned by vqServer, a brief explanation of this result code and the number of bytes of data sent by vqServer.
  4. An indication of any internal errors or problems dealt with by vqServer. The format of this information is specific to vqServer (The other information displayed conforms to HTTP standards).

Note:

  • The above four lines are displayed after vqServer has dealt with the corresponding request.
  • The four lines of information pertaining to each request are displayed contiguously even though vqServer may be dealing with several requests at the same time.
  • Error messages generated by vqServer while it is dealing with a request are displayed in the window when the error occurs before the above four lines are displayed and may unfortunately be mixed up with messages pertaining to other requests.
