I tried to run the launcher as described in the docs. But I am still getting errors when running http://localhost/apps/Visualizer/

Firefox console:

-------------------------------

1. when setting sessionManagerURL in html set to vtkWeb.properties.sessionManagerURL:

POST
XHR
http://localhost/paraview/ [HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable 48ms]
Object { error: "The process did not properly start.…" } Visualizer:42:13


2. when setting sessionManagerURL in html to http://localhost:8080/paraview:

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at ws://localhost/ws. autobahn.min.js:114:0
null Visualizer:42:13
No launcher found. Attempting to connect using the direct WS url. vtkweb-all.js:4456:19 Use of getPreventDefault() is deprecated. Use defaultPrevented instead. jquery-1.8.3.min.js:2:0 Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://localhost:8080/paraview. (Reason: CORS header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' missing). <unknown>
GET
http://localhost/ws [HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found 12ms]
null


So the launcher can't start the pv webserver? But running http://localhost:8080/paraview/1 in browser works but says: {"error": "No session with id: 1"}


My apache config:

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Daniel,

    I want to use paraview web with SSL. As far as I understand I need
    apache as a proxy server for that? Or is it possible with pvpython?


It might be possible with pvpython, but I've never done it, I've always used apache to rely on a single opened port and handle the encryption.

    I have my own launcher which opens pvpython with a different port
    for each user. Is this the right way? Will this work with ssl?


If pvpython directly support the wss connection, you can be good. Usually the setup, that I do is that I have Apache serving only the port 443 (https) for both the static content and the (wss) websocket endpoint. And I use a mapping file between the Websocket endpoint that get returned by my launcher and the host/port I should connect to on the backend to establish the link between the client and the actual ParaViewWeb server instance.

But that does not mean, that's the only way to do it and if you don't mind having several port open, I don't see why it could not work.

    Concerning:

    https://kitware.github.io/visualizer/docs/
    <https://kitware.github.io/visualizer/docs/>

    The web visuailzer should work via npm installation? It does not
    work for me:
    
C:\Users\danie\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\pvw-visualizer\bin\pvw-visualizer-cli.js:41
    var pvPythonExecs = find(paraview).filter(function(file) { return
    file.match(/pvpython$/) || file.match(/pvpython.exe$/); });
                                       ^

    TypeError: find(...).filter is not a function
        at Object.<anonymous>
    
(C:\Users\danie\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\pvw-visualizer\bin\pvw-visualizer-cli.js:41:36)
        at Module._compile (module.js:409:26)
        at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:416:10)
        at Module.load (module.js:343:32)
        at Function.Module._load (module.js:300:12)
        at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:441:10)
        at startup (node.js:139:18)
        at node.js:968:3


Well, I guess I haven't tried to run the new Visualizer server on a Windows machine. But with ParaView 5.2 (yet to be released), we should have a ParaViewWeb back in the binaries. So we should make sure our Visualizer command line tool work on that platform as well. Although, the command line is more for beginners than anything else as it only simplify the demo usage. In real word deployment, with a launcher, the true pvpython command line should be used instead.

Here is an example of what you should see in a working environment:

$ Visualizer -d ~/Downloads/

===============================================================================
| Execute:
| $ /Applications/paraview.app/Contents/bin/pvpython
|   -dr
| /Users/seb/Documents/code/Web2/visualizer/server/pvw-visualizer.py
|   --content
|   /Users/seb/Documents/code/Web2/visualizer/dist
|   --port
|   8080
|   --data
|   /Users/seb/Downloads/
===============================================================================
