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.

    IP Binding startup issue

    I really like the concept of IP Binding. Now, if I can get some help to figure out how to do it...

    I have an application where several users are using the same database and, in fact, the same pages. So I want to use IP Binding to create an instance of the application server for each user. The main reason is to use the new ServerSetting variables in the filter for each user. That way, I think, whenever the server instance is running, the filter will work...don't have to worry about the session expiring. Some of those pages are public pages...no login... so I need the filter active all the time.

    So, I have a dedicated server out on ZebraHost with a primary IP and a couple secondary IPs. I created three versions of the config file and set the IP binding in each, all on the same port ( 80 ).

    Problem is, the instance on the primary IP starts up just fine (green dot, web access...everything good), but the two instances on the secondary IP's begin to start up, then stop before completing. They don't get as far as creating the log files before they stop so i don't get any error messages, just a red dot and no joy. I've tried all the usual things..rebooting, starting in a different order, but doesn't work.

    Has anyone had success with this using multiple IPs on the same port? Did I miss something?

    thanks,
    Pat

    If it helps any, here are my shortcuts to launch each, from AlwaysUp.

    Note that I moved each config file to a central folder named a5installs for better management.

      Hi Steve,

      Do you have a preference between AlwaysUP and FireDaemon (or any other app as service software).

      I think you have mentioned both in the past.

        Steve,

        I see that all the non-ssl instances are on port 81. Does that mean that you just entered the ip binding in the config file and they all started up successfully, or did you have to do something esle?

        I don't think AlwaysUp is causing it to work. I'll be using AlwaysUp once I have the app ready to run, but I find it easier not to use it during development.

        I also moved my config files to c:\a5configs where I could find them and I know that the three instances are running off separate config files because they show the different titles when I mouse over the dots.

          Pat, make sure you have error logging turned on. It should log any failed start attempts, even if they occur before the creation of the access log.

            Lenny,

            If you are talking about the a5w_error.log, no it does not get created.

            I named the error logs individually so I could tell which was which, but only the logs for my primary ip are getting created.

            what comes before that? I do get the message "server is starting", but then changes to "server is stopped"

              Thanks to both Clive and Lenny for troubleshooting this. I don't know what they did, but the magic worked and all three instances are now running perfectly!
