I love his one, very clear and complete

Hello,

You can install and access a second database server using the servername followed by :tcpport.

Example:

server.exe servername=myserver:3001,database=.......

When you connect to the server you should put myserver:3001 in the open database dialog.

This way you do not have to modify your hosts and services files. Anyone can connect to your db servers just using the :tcpport extention to the servername.

Well, I put (for development) in the title.
But it is also possible in a production-environment. Of course for performance it is best that every DB has its own server.

Hi,
Iam using Vista. In vista when i click the server start it gets error like
(An Unknown language selected ('16393'). how can i solve this issue??


Thanks & Regards,

I am not a Vista-specialist (actually never used it), but I think it is because you have only a double-byte characterset. I would try to enable also codepage 1252 or 852 in the regional settings.

Is it possible to install multiple NAV servers with the database located on a network path? Not on a local drive?

I never tried that, but I think it is not possible. You would need to use a format like "\\servername\subdir\filename.fdb" to point to the server and I am not sure the native DB can handle it.
And even if he can handle it, it is better NOT to do it for performance reasons and safety reasons.
