If you run into problems setting up your system please double-check following:
1.) Your webserver runs on the same system as you Xpert-Timer database is located.
2.) The system on which both, database and XTWebserver, are running, owns a local IP Adress. (e.g. 192.168.11.24)
3.) Your Android smartphone is in the same IP Adress area as your system with the database and XTWebserver (e.g. 192.168.11.25)
4.) Your router has a fixed external IP address. If not, you need to register for example at no-ip.com in order to get a hostname to be forwarded to your dynamic IP.
5.) You port in your router, e.g.: 8090 (which you defined in XTWebserver), is forwarded to the computer with your XTWebserver and database.
6.) XTWebserver is a known program in your firewall.
So if all those points apply, you can try to connect through a browser on your desktop to connect to your Webserver. You don’t nececcarily need to use your Android to test the connection.
Enter in your browers addres your IP Adress of your system with the XTWebserver, followed by the port number:
http://192.168.11.24:8090
This should open a login dialog. If you get the message, that the website is not available, something in your setup is still wrong. Open XTWebserver.exe (Desktop) and activate the logging in order to see if there’s any incoming requests. Make sure you stop the Webserver if your are running it as a service. You can’t use both programs at the same time.
When you get the login dialog with the browser request, then the routing is correct and you have to enter username and password, you have declared in the XTWebserver. If your Android is known in the network you should now be able to connect to the Webserver as well, using the same IP Adress and port you’ve just used in your browser.
