Web Publisher 2: Do you have any tips on using Web Publisher?

Answer: Listed below are some important points about the new Web Publisher feature and published databases.
  • Web Publisher can be used as a service with Reference Manager 12 or later using the steps here.

  • Web Publisher is a web server, modified for use with Reference Manager 11 or later only, running on the computer where Reference Manager 11 or later is installed.

  • When exposing any web site outside a controlled environment (either through an intranet or the Internet), there is inherent security risk. In these situations, a firewall and/or other security precautions are strongly recommended for use with Reference Manager Web Publisher.

  • Before enabling Web Publisher, consult your network administrator, your firewall or other security application’s documentation, or another network professional.

  • The IP address of the computer with the Reference Manager 11 or later installation and a port number are required to use Web Publisher.

  • The computer running Reference Manager 11 or later and Web Publisher must be on for the Web Publisher web site to be available.

  • The computer running Web Publisher must have persistent access to Internet or intranet via TCP/IP.

  • When Web Publisher is enabled, at least one instance of RM11.exe (or RM12.exe) and at least two instances of Apache.exe will appear in the "Processes" tab of Windows Task Manager. This is normal, and is required in order to support web access to published databases.

  • You can publish up to fifteen databases with Web Publisher.

  • Databases can be published with Read-Only or Read-Write Access rights.

  • Each published database maintains its own unique database definition.

  • Opening published databases with Read-Write Exclusive access in Reference Manager 11 or later prevents access to the database from the Web Publisher web site.
