Has it crashed yet? This is a fairly crucial test.
Not yet. I'll let you know.
The one problem we noticed with the web client was that if you open up a Foundation process (to a certain table), the process is named after the last graphic that was loaded by our Active4D home page: "/Graphics/BuiltWithOSX.GIF". (I double-checked this by calling a simple wrapper method which retrieves the name of a process given the process number.) The corresponding process on the server is named "•Project" as it should be. (?????) I think at the time, we had both the 4D Server's web server and the web client's web server running at the same time. This shouldn't have been a problem though, should it?
I think this is just 4D reusing a dead web process and not updating the name correctly on the client side.
Hmm. That doesn't sound worthy of "just" .... The reason I noticed it is because my preferences for window positions are based partly on the process name. Not a good thing.
Bart Alcorn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is having very similar problems. (He also has Active4D) Here was his comment to me:
One episode yesterday, crashed, then crashed twice again immediately upon restarting, and then smooth sailing so far. Very typical.
If it is crashing _immediately_ upon restarting, it's hard to see how this is related to Active4D...
Well, our "immediate" problems were a few seconds after 4D Server started. It theoretically could happen when 4D Server loads a plugin. (But that could be any plugin.) The fact that it also hangs after a day or two, points to (possibly) a plugin that's being used at the time.
This is exactly what's happening to us.
I have a client who has had random freezes, but they have now isolated it to 4D itself. It seems to have something to do with triggers.
I'll triple-check, but the fact that it sometimes crashes when no one is logged in leads me to believe otherwise. It's possible that there is more than one reason for it hanging/crashing, but all things considered, it doesn't appear that way.
