Hi all.

Is it possible to run multiple instances of dbserver?

Or is it possible to run multiple configuration files with one dbserver?

Thanks!

Yes, but you have to make sure that each one binds to a different IP
address/port.  For example, if the first server is bound to 12010, then the
next should be bound to 12011, etc.

Unfortunately, no.

OK, that's nice.

There is no problem to start 2 instances of edbserver, when you create a copy of
"edbsrvr.exe" named "edbsrvr2.exe" and run both.

But for me it is unpossible to install two different EDBServer as services. Windows tells
me that there is already a service named "ElevateDB Server" installed with Errorcode 1078
at the second installation.

Hope you can help.

You'll need to rename each .exe as you already indicated, and then change
the server name and description for each in the edbsrvr(1,2, etc.).ini file:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Elevate
Software\ElevateDB Server

Server Name=EDBSRVR
Server Description=ElevateDB Server

I did that:

edsrvr1.ini:
Server Name=EDBSRVR1
Server Description=ElevateDBS1

edsrvr2.ini:
Server Name=EDBSRVR2
Server Description=ElevateDBS2

And I got the same error message!

Is it possible that the service ignores some ini-Properties?

It's not ignoring them, but setting them after the service is initialized.
I'll make sure that this is fixed in the next build.
