Yes. It will be downloaded to 4D Remote. > 2) 4D Remote is installed on the web serving computer. (I think this ends > up by default in the "Program Files" directory?) We deploy the web client on Mac, but I wouldn't think the location would matter unless you have to contend with Windows permissions issues. 4D Remote is in the Applications Folder in our case. > 3) Do the folders "Web" (my web files), "Active4D" (configuration files) > and "Web_Static" (files served directly by 4D) all go here? > > <SystemDisk>:\ProgramData\4D\com.aparajita\Active4D\ If that is what the docs say, I'd say yes. > (Is there a problem having an Active4D folder within an Active4D folder?) > > or can I put them here (with the 4D Remote application, which is how I > think I used to do it)? > <systemDisk>:\Program Files\4D\ My experience IIRC was that doing it the old way didn't work. I don't have the docs at hand, but I think you can configure where the files can go, but I never got it to work.

We use NTK so I can't answer this. > 5) Finally, where does the key file go? On 4D Server or 4D Remote?

Get remote access if you can :) hth, Brad _______________________________________________ Active4D-dev mailing list Active4D-dev@aparajitaworld.com http://mailman.aparajitaworld.com/mailman/listinfo/active4d-dev Archives: http://mailman.aparajitaworld.com/archive/active4d-dev/
