Are there any portable web servers that automatically open the home page?

Submitted by pete101 on October 12, 2016 - 8:31am

Hi,

I was a big fan of "server2go", but alas I think that it might now be defunct.

The reason why I liked it was that you could set it to automatically open up a web server's home page (i.e. the index.html page found within the server's www folder) when it started.

Most other portable servers seem to either take you to a control panel or else simply start and do nothing else. You need to click on a further button to launch the default home page in your browser.

Error loading pidgin.dll under w2k3 after updating to 2.11.00

Submitted by DabjeilQutwyngo on October 5, 2016 - 8:36pm

Today I updated Pidgin Portable from 2.10.11 (libpurple 2.10.11) to 2.11.0. After that I get the following error while Pidgin starts up:
---------------------------
Error loading pidgin.dll.
Error: (999) Ошибка при выполнении операции со страницей.
---------------------------
The eror message means something like "An error at operating with a page". But I think the error is about memory access violation.
After this error the Pidgin process is closed.
OS: Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 x86

Chrome Bookmarks Removed after last update

Submitted by MyNameIs on October 5, 2016 - 2:26am

After this recent update Version 53.0.2785.143, Bookmarks are removed.

Edit: It would seem the "GoogleChromePortable\GoogleChromePortable.exe" opens in a different view to opening "GoogleChromePortable\App\Chrome-bin\chrome.exe" directly. My shortcuts I have created differ from opening within the PA app.

PortableChrome crashing

Submitted by milkmotel on September 29, 2016 - 5:44pm

I'm trying to run an HTML page locally hosted (it's an Shiny R-script run through R-portable) but whenever I try to run it on a network computer that isn't my own, I just get a crashed page.

In fact, when I open Chrome Portable on any network computer, all it shows me is that "Aw shucks it stopped working" page.

Anyone know what the problem is?

Chrome suddenly not working

Submitted by dgelerin on September 29, 2016 - 10:55am

I've had Chrome on this USB stick for a while. I used to use it, without a hint of issue, at my old job, on a W7 machine. At my new job, I have W10 and, at the beginning, it worked fine. Then over the past couple weeks it's gone from having to click it a couple times to open to this morning, where the cursor will "work" for about 15 seconds, then stop and act as if nothing happened and Chrome hasn't opened. Other portable apps open fine.

Google Chrome: profile problem

Submitted by MrMyth on September 17, 2016 - 4:53am

Good afternoon. I would like to use a portable Google Chrome. But there is one problem: when opening links from external programs opens a new window, not tab. Also no external links in the browser history. Links to external programs use a different browser profile. How to make one single profile for everything, and that open new Windows and tabs? Thank you.

Chrome keeps crashing

Submitted by rajdude on August 31, 2016 - 10:30am

I have never been able to get Chrome work inside portableapps. It always crashes with this error:

Google Chrome has stopped working

Fault module name : ntdll.dll

I could post a screenshot but I do not see a way to do that.

Note that I am running portable apps from a network drive on a server.
All the other apps I have installed in there work fine, like firefox etc
I am able to update apps in portableapps also, without any problem.

Any solution?
