MapGuide - Server Admin

MapGuide / AIMS mapagent web site contains a section called "Server Admin". If you try to execute one of the commands you will probably get an error message:

MapGuide Server Admin Service Tests

If so then change "localhost" to "127.0.0.1" in file "serveradminhelper". The file can be found in the mapviewer sub folder. Depending on your installation your viewer is either .net, Java or PHP based. For a .net based view the path is:

\www\mapviewernet\

The line in question is (für ASPX):

 serverAdmin.Open("localhost", cred);
and needs to be changed to
 serverAdmin.Open("127.0.0.1", cred);
