I've just downloaded and installed the latest version of Paraview (4.0.1) using the pre-built binaries. I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to start a paraview server with the intention of developing an app that will incorporate ParaViewWeb.

Here's the error:

Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\ParaView 4.0.1\bin>pvserver.exe

as the docs say doesn't help me much either.

C:\Program Files (x86)\ParaView 4.0.1\bin>
I'm really new to using ParaView so I feel like I've missed a step somewhere along the line but I can't find any documentation to help point me in the right direction.

Thanks

EDIT: I should point out that those hardcoded paths (C:\DBD\pvs-x64\mpi\src\mpi\
orte\mca\ess\singleton\ess_singleton_module.c at line 277) are a mystery to me.

Well, I've answered my own problem by installing MPICH2 from here:

http://www.mpich.org/downloads/

and running
Code:
mpiexec -np 4 $PATH_TO_PARAVIEW\bin\pvserver
However, I'm getting the following error:

Code:
C:\Program Files\MPICH2\bin>mpiexec -np 1 -host localhost C:\Program Files (x86)\ParaView 4.0.1\bin\
pvserver
Error while connecting to host, No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (10061)
Connect on sock (host=localhost, port=8676) failed, exhaused all end points
Unable to connect to 'localhost:8676',
sock error: Error = -1

Greetings circuitBurn and welcome to the forum!

ParaView 4.0.1 on Windows uses Open-MPI 1.4.4: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Binaries

As for another detail, I'll quote myself from another thread:

Wait... I forgot that you wanted to use it for ParaViewWeb...

Mmm... I'll get back to you later today, when I have a Windows machine at hand.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi circuitBurn,

OK, I got my hands on one of my Windows machines. Here's what you'll have to do:
  1. Go into the folder where ParaView is installed, but from the Windows command line. For example:
    Code:
    cd C:\Program Files (x86)\ParaView 4.0.1
  2. Now you have to create a temporary drive letter that points to this folder, because Open-MPI hates paths with spaces:
    Code:
    subst F: .
  3. Now switch to the temporary drive letter, as exemplified above, and go into the "bin" folder:
    Code:
    F:
    cd bin
  4. Now, to launch pvserver, you have to run like this (e.g. with 2 parallel processes):
    Code:
    mpirun -np 2 F:\bin\pvserver.exe
  5. And it should now be running as expected!
  6. Once it's over and if you want to turn off the temporary drive letter, run:
    Code:
    C:
    subst F: /D
Best regards,
Bruno

wyldckat, thank you SO much. I am just about to start building paraview on my machine here at home and I'll let you know the outcome.
