Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Is There a Price for Two User Application Server

    I bought Alpha Five V9 Basic Edition. The tutorials mention needing an Application Server license to access the server remotely. Is there such a thing as a price for an App Server license with a limit of perhaps like two remote users at time?

    Re: Is There a Price for Two User Application Server

    Hi, hope I get this right.
    The Application Server licence is for unlimmited sessions so I guess unlimitted users.
    These users are web users though eg, via Internet Explorer or some other browser.
    -
    If you explan better your needs someone should be able to determin which product you need.
    eg maybe its a runtime licence, or just use Remote Desktop

      Re: Is There a Price for Two User Application Server

      I am attempting to learn the Alpha Five V9 WEB interface. According to the tutorial I should be able to use my own computer as a "server". The explanation even discusses a solution to converting a dynamic IP address to a static IP address. I would like to be able to tell a couple people the TCP/IP address of this "server" and develop things discussing suggestions etc. The goal would be a couple remote users using an internet browser and a WEB interface. You may be telling me that Alpha does not support this?? Could I at least somehow use an internet browser WEB interface between two or three computers on my own router? The tutorial seems to impy I must have some limited App Server to do this. There does not seem to be any "limited" App Server - correct? The only price I see is ~$400.00.

        You need 1 thing to develop web applications and that is Alpha 5 Platinum. To deploy you have 2 options: purchase the Application Server or use a web host that supports Alpha. You discussed the first option of using your own system to serve the files. The Application Server is "virtually" unlimited. Simply, what is important is the hardware you are going to run it on and internet connection you have.

        So to do it on your machine you would need to have A5 Platinum and the Application Server.

          I am attempting to learn the Alpha Five V9 WEB interface.
          Welcome to a new world.
          HTML Code:
          According to the tutorial I should be able to use my own computer as a "server".
          Yes, this server is inbuilt to A5 for development purposes, quite simply it is named the locahost, and normally addressed as http://localhost/YourPage.a5w. This service is only designed for development purposes. Not for full scale web service providing.
          ----- In my case I use this on my development computer all the time,
          But on my internet websites are hosted on a 2003winServer, running the Web Application Server
          -----
          As far as the Dynamic -> static IP issuue, this is designed as some peoples ISPs are too lousy or hopeless to provide a static IP.
          ----
          Maybe for what you wish to do I suggest learning how to set up a windows special Guest account, then have your friends use the Remote Desktop Service or RDP to Access your PC, and then they can browse the localhost pages. Somebody else here might suggest a better way.

            If you bought the Basic version by accident perhaps emailing sales@alphasoftware might get you a decent "pay the difference" upgrade deal?
