Here's another tip for the archives...
We have one client running a web server db under 4D v14.4. We're working
at moving this to v16 in the very near future, but wanted to do a few
tidy up's in v14 before we started the update process.
Things went badly and suddenly no one could connect to the web server. :-(
After many hours of immense frustration trying to solve this we found
that the following setting
Database Settings > Web > Configuration > Publishing Info >
IP Address:
in the current source was now blank (i.e. the popup had nothing selected).
In the source on which the previous build was based, the setting was :
IP Address: All
Changes the setting to ALL in the current soutrce, and voila, it works
perfectly as advertised!
We suspect that a minor upgrade from v14.4 to v14.5 between releasing
these two versions of the app may have reset that setting somehow.
Anyway, the story is, if you have a web server app that stops working
for some reason, and EVEN IF your browser will still connect to the
server via a local loop-back (e.g. 127.0.0.1) MAKE sure that the Web
Database Settings are as they should be.
Hope this saves someone else a few hours....
