dbisam server as a service |
Wed, Aug 23 2006 1:39 PM | Permanent Link |
David | I have been trying to connect to a remote database though mapped drive with Dbisam server
while running it as a service on the main machine. DB server returns error to me that the path is not valid. However if I stop the service and run Dbisam server as an application, and connect to the same path, there is no problem what so ever. |

Jason Lee | You should connect to a remote server (either service or application)
via its IP address or computer name (if Windows network is working properly, IP address is the most reliable I find). Your client program talks to the server program on the server computer which in turn works with the data. Using a mapped drive, your program can also work with the data directly without running the server program at all. Your post is a little confusing: are you using DBISAM in local mode (your program accesses the data files directly [either on local computer or on a mapped server drive]) -or- are are you using DBISAM in client/server (remote) mode (your program talks to the DBSRVR.EXE running program on the server computer, which in turn accesses the data) David wrote: > I have been trying to connect to a remote database though mapped drive with Dbisam server > while running it as a service on the main machine.

The issue is with Database server itself not being able to reconize the pathname. If i enter the pathname into the Database tab while Database server is running as a service I will get the following error: 11293 Db Name or directory is either invalid or blank. However If I stop the service, and manually run the application and try this same entry again. I will have no problem connecting afterwords. Until I switch back to a service.
