Server App

This first became available with version 4.0.0 of the Yahoo Finance Player application.

The Server Name or IP Address is the address of the server running the XPression Engine on which this server app is also installed. It will by default at first run fill in the suggested IP address of the server. If you are running both the server and client portions of the Yahoo Finance Player on the same machine you could enter "localhost" as the server name instead of an IP Address. You can also regenerate the suggested IP address by using the option in the Help menu.

The TCP Port is the port number to use when connecting via the TCP protocol which is the recommended protocol to use. You will need to ensure that this port is enabled/open on the server to allow the client machine to connect.

The HTTP Port is the port number to use when connecting via the HTTP protocol. Use the HTTP protocol in situations where TCP is not a viable option You will need to ensure that this port is enabled/open on the server to allow the client machine to connect.The HTTP protocol is not expected to perform as quickly as the TCP protocol.

The XPression Project File is the name of the project file the application will use. It will remember the last selected project for the next time the service is launched.

When you press the Start Service button the configuration options are all locked while the service remains running. To make changes you must restart the server.
