Hi,

Could anyone explain how to set Server database which is located on another PC in shared folder?
Database is on shared folder at g:\database\ while I am trying to set this path server return 11293 error.

Tomas

Use UNC format like \\server\share\folder instead of drive:\folder.

I already tried that , it took a little bit longer but then the error message was the same.

You have to make sure that the server machine can access the database via
that mapped drive.   If it can't, then you'll get an error.  How are you
defining the path for the database ?  Via the Server Administration Utility
?

Yes, I use Server Admin utility to set path.

Good.  Make sure that the database path is accessible from the server
machine and you'll be all set.

Path is accessible from windows RUN utility, if I put path in it and press ok, shared folder opened succesfully.
If I set the same path in DBISAM server as database folder I get error.

Maybe somethign wrong with permission, maybe I need to set some kind permission somewhere?

Is the database server running as a service ?  If so, then you need to
change the user account that the service runs under so that it can access
network drives.  By default, the local System account used for services
cannot access network drives.

Hello , i have changed the settings in the service  to the network administrator account but result is the same.
Any idea why this does not work?
Screens are attached.

Did you restart the service afterwards ?   The only other reason why this
would not work would be if the administrator account that you're using
doesn't have the proper rights for that directory.
