AppV Test New Application Package

Test package, quickly
Any package that isn't straight forward to sequence will need a lot of testing and retesting. This takes time.

This causes frustration especially when everything is slow and laggy. A quick way to test is essential.

As per the Client configuration using an HTTP server is the most reliable way to test, (although if it works, you can specify a mapped network drive or UNC path.)

The beauty of changing the client registry key is you dont need to edit the .OSD files to be able to test on a different setup as it overrides whatever is set there up to the start of the filepath. (i.e. it overrides this prefix part "RTSP://%SFT_SOFTGRIDSERVER%:554/" )

Lighttpd
Any web server can be used, lighttpd is fast and simple.


 * edit lighttpd.conf (probably in /etc/lighttpd/lightppd.conf) and set the document root to your OSD folder you want to keep your packages in (this is equivalent to AppV servers root)
 * check directory listing is enabled to check its working (useful to rule out problems even in the future)

This should produce



This should allow you to easily stream your test file to your Client VM.
