Placing the db on another machine .....

Post by Thunderstone »





I have installed Webinator on our NT server but I would like to place the
db on another NT server.

I have set a share, on the db folder, on the new machine "Webinator"
where the share and the dir. permissions are both set at read and write.

On the NT Server where the program and cgi-programs is based I have maped
a network share to it on w: which links to the share on the machine where
the db folder is.

The database is set up and placed in a db folder with in the share

In the script DB = w:\db and $defaultdb = w:\

The errors I get are :

<OPTION VALUE="min">Some
<OPTION VALUE="max">Most
</SELECT>
<!-- 96: 4 Could not create database w:\db in the function -->
<!-- 106: 4 Could not create database w:\db in the function -->
<!-- 109: 4 Could not create database w:\db in the function -->
<!-- 112: 4 Could not create database w:\db in the function -->
<INPUT NAME=cmd TYPE=submit VALUE="Help">
<INPUT NAME=cmd TYPE=submit VALUE=" Go ">
</FORM>
</CENTER>
<HR>
<!-- 189: 2 can't open w:\db: Permission denied in the function ddopen
-->
<!-- 189: 0 Could not connect to w:\db in the function openntexis -->
<!-- 191: 2 can't open w:\db: Permission denied in the function ddopen
-->
<!-- 191: 0 Could not connect to w:\db in the function openntexis -->
<!-- 193: 2 can't open w:\db: Permission denied in the function ddopen
-->
<!-- 193: 0 Could not connect to w:\db in the function openntexis -->
<B>Error</B>: The database does not appear to exist.

Jamest@rcp.co.uk said:

Webinator should not be run against a database on a network drive, as
even if you do have the permissions set correctly then you will see
poor performance as the data moves across the network to answer queries.
If you want the Webinator database to live on a different machine the
most suitable configuration is to set up another webserver on the other
machine which will run the queries for you.
