Installing screen saver app to Mitel 5000 w/5330 phones

[dervari]

I am trying to install a screen saver .spx on our Mitel 5000 system.  I used the GUI to upload the .SPX file but am getting the error shown in the attachment when I fire up the Admin program.  Any ideas?

Thanks.

I am having trouble uploading my .spx file as the uploader gives me an error because it can not connect to the Mitel 5000 switch.  Did you have trouble with the uploader as well, if not what parameters did you set for connectivity to the switch?

Does your Screen Saver still show up in the Applications Tab or is it a missing/corrupt file?

thanks

I just uploaded the spx file direct in the Mitel Web Admin, didn't need to specify the switch or anything when using that

Can't see it in the DB Manager mind you! So can't assign it to an App Group

Thanks TripleD,

that upload worked and I went into the Applications tab and right clicked and it gave me an option to "Manage Application Files"

there you will find your uploaded application. select it and press "add" you should now have that application in the list and you can assign to an application profile.

Thanks guys!  Many thanks!

That's where mine falls down.

I've uploaded it in the web admin, then gone into the DB admin as you said:

System > Phone-Related Information > Applications

Right click and "Manage Application Files"

But my uploaded SPX file doesn't exist in the list! Going back to the web admin it's sitting there!
I just took the Default_ScreenSaver files and changed the images to 1 image, then repackaged. Don't need to do anything else?

Just downloaded the Default_Screensaver.spx in the web admin renamed to TEST_Default_Screensaver.spx and uploaded.

I can see the file in the DB Admin

My other SPX file must be missing something! Will go through it tomorrow!

Check your HTML and manifest file to be sure that it has all the necessary codes and compare to the sample applications.

I have mine uploaded but now I get a Communication Error and it indicates an HTML App Upgrade at the top of the screen.

Any ideas on how to send that Upgrade to the system?

[rcasimiri]

I fixed my own problem and found that the Application file must be saved as an .htm file and not a .html file otherwise you will get the Communication Error.

Best of luck and thanks for your help guys!

Nope, still can't get it uploaded and viewable in the DB program manager.

All the .xml and html files are correct, even just packaged the ScreenSaverSample application in the Dev Resources folder, and that doesn't show up either!

Strange!!

I realise this is an old topic, but hopefully this may help.

I also found that my app uploaded correctly via the AWS, but it was not shown in DB Programming under 'Manage application files'.

To fix this, you should ensure that in 'manifext.xml' your first line is

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" ?>. There can be no whitespace or comments in front of it.

Thanks.

The fix is to remove the app upgrade.DB Programming, System, phone-related info, Application Profiles, 1, Applications. The upgrade will appear on the right. Right-click and remove it.
