Complete the following steps to enable and configure the Web Server.

1. Select Tools»Options to display the Options dialog box.
2. Select Web Server: Configuration from the Category list of the Options dialog box.
3. Place a checkmark in the Enable Web Server checkbox.
   
   The default Web Server configuration is suitable for most applications. Refer to Web Server: Configuration if you need to change this default configuration.

Note  (Linux) By default, LabVIEW uses port 8000 so the Web Server can run in accounts that do not have root access. If you have root access, you can change the port to 80. If you use any port other than 80, you must specify the port number in URLs that refer to the server, as shown in the following example: http://hostname:8000/index.htm

4. If you want to control browser access to the front panels or control which VIs are visible on the Web, configure the Web Server: Browser Access and Visible VIs options.
5. Click the OK button to close the Options dialog box and save the changes.
   
   The Web Server is running.

You also can enable and configure the Web Server in a built application.

You also can use the Web Server properties to enable and configure the Web Server programmatically.
