[Soaplab-users] Soaplab error: Can't communicate with the application launcher

[Tim T. <Tim...@ed...>]

Hi,

I am using soaplab to make a local install of emboss available as web  
services. I followed the guidelines outlined at:

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/soaplab/BinaryGuide.html

and

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/soaplab/ServiceSets.html

I then configured Taverna to pickup my soaplab install. When running  
a simple workflow through Taverna using services installed on my  
soaplab install I get the following error message (see below). Any  
suggestions as to what is causing this would be greatly appreciated.
