Amy,
The need to start UWS depends on whether you have registered your web application with UWS Windows service, in which case UWS does not need to be started manually, or whether you run UWS in the interactive mode, in which case you need to need to start it as an application with command line parameters.
Service mode: On the machine where your web app is hosted, please run "UltiDev Web App Explorer" from UWS start menu to see which applications are registered with UWS service. You will see
something like this. Green icons next to web applications and host processes mean they are up and running. Red icons mean host process or application are not running and may need to be restarted. After you select and application, you can use "Browse Application" button to launch a web browser to see the application running on the machine. If you see no registered applications in UWS Explorer, go to http://localhost:7756/ - it shows a simple diagnostic web application hosted by UWS but not displayed among registered ones. If that application is accessible, then UWS is installed and running correctly.
Interactive UWS host, running as a regualar application, has
multiple command line parameters that make it possible to specify application path and many other things, like, for example, whether to start a web browser along with the host.
