Please run Set-PowerCLIConfiguration on webcommander. If the result is not persistent on the server, you may need to add it to objects.ps1 (just before connect-viserver )

PS C:\WebCommander\powershell> .\vSphere\interfaces.ps1 -serveraddress xxxxxxx -serveruser 10000-vw0\durgesh.pandey -serverpassword xxxxxxx -listDatastore
% : Method invocation failed because [VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.PowerCLIConfigurationImpl] does not contain a method named 'listDatastore'.

Interesting, the command should not output anything since it's not triggered by exec.ps1.
Where did you get the walnut scripts? They work differently from mine.
Please use github.com/9whirls/webcommander_walnut

Thanks jerry for the help !!!!

Above issue was due to older version of php on the server.

now i am able to run webcommander and webcommander walnut both on same server with different port .

Now i am trying to execute script which are kept on a git server .

Please help how can we do this . I am following the instructions in the manual but not getting success.

I am doing the changes in local source.json but remote scripts are not visible on web gui

example source.json .

{
"remote": "https://github.com/durgesh28/webcommander/blob/master/www/_def.json"
}

Thanks Jerry !!!

It working now . I am now able to run remote script kept in git now .

I have two questions now.

1. To access scripts from webcommandeer, i have make the repo public . If the repo is private , then how scripts will accessible. I mean what will be changes in source.json ??

2. what are configurations if i want to connect the application with mongo db which is installed on the same server on which application is installed. (means mongo is installed locally on window machine )

Please respond .

Hi Jerry ,

Please help on below point .

If the git reposiory is private , then how scripts will accessible. I mean what will be changes in source.json .
??

How the remote scripts kept on private repo can be accessed from webcommander

[9whirls]

I don't have this type of configuration on my side. But a reasonable guess is that you need to setup an access token for your private repository and add that token into webcommander code.
