No access to Form Manager repository

Avatar

Former Community Member
Hello,



I was following the instructions in install_config.pdf for Adobe LiveCycle Form Manager, chapter 9 (Developing Forms) to create the access for Adobe Designer. However, I was not able to get a connection to the mentioned URL: http://localhost:8080//appstore/forms. I installed the software via turnkey option. Do I need some other configurations?

Any help/ideas are really appreciated.

I don't think you can access the Form Manager via HTTP unless you are using WebDAV. If you are going to use WebDAV, the format is:

http://localhost:8080/WebDAVServlet/appstore/forms



The other option is to use the xappstore protocol to access the repository via your custom program as follows:

xappstore:/Forms/



There is sample code on page 44-45 of the Install_config.pdf guide.

Hi Karin



There are a couple of tricks:

1. The URL is http://localhost:8080/appstore/Forms

(ie only a single slash after the port, and an upper case F. This is a typo in the docs, which is corrected in the release notes.)



2. You can NOT point your web browser at this url - it won't work. You must go to Windows Network Neighborhood, click "Add new network place", and enter this url. Then the WEBDAV icon will be available in your NetHood.

Hello,



thanks for your help guys. I managed to create the network place.

I was always looking in the wrong place to add the network place (I have German Windows OS). Now I am able to publish my forms in Adobe Designer.
