Title: Map panel not working
Post by: DigPeter on March 19, 2019, 03:54:08 PM
Yesterday there was no problem with viewing maps.
Today on opening IM, there was a message that IM Web Services are not running, but I overrode that and IM functioned normally.  Except when I want to view the map panel, I get the message that IM Web services are not running.  At present I am not using this facility - I have yet to install the new IMatch Anywhere. However IM Web services are enable in Preferences>Application.

Is this a temporary blip?

IMatch WebServices are used internally by IMatch to run apps. And the Map Panel.
Do other apps work?
What is the exact error message) See log file (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/#im_logfile.htm)

Have you tried to reboot your system once?

Maybe another installed software has allocated the port used by IMWS in IMatch?
In that case you get a corresponding message and you have to change the port in Edit > Preferences > Application. Just increment by one, restart IMatch and when the message is gone, a free port was found.

Thanks Mario.  I shut IM down and opened again and the problem has gone away.  A temporary blip.
