BR Web Scripting
I am trying to learn the BR Web Bridge that was taught at the last conference and having some troubles with the basics. I have included all the required programs (short cuts) in one file and tried to use the examples but keep getting errors. Such as not finding the correct page, or even not finding the site. Is there something I am missing?

You will need to have an HTTP server installed. I use WampServer for most development. You can get that here:
http://www.wampserver.com/en/
xampp is supposed to be good, also.
You will also need to add your own brserial.dat file.
If that is done, check to see if the web service is running by going to http://localhost/ in your browser and see if the default page comes up.
What OS are you installing on?

Download the latest bridge package here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/brwebscriptingb/
Apache will be configured to use some directory as the 'root' of the web server. Open the 'httpd.conf' file and find the 'DocumentRoot' directive. This is where all website content should be placed. I would create a subdirectory for the samples. The default would look like this:
Copy the entire 'examples' folder from the Bridge download into this folder.
Copy a valid serial file for br418 into the "/examples/br" folder.
You should now be able to view the demo in the browser at;
http://locahost/examples/
That should bring up the same demo page you see on the official site. Let me know if you made it this far.
