Re: Database Settings Publishing Info IP Address - Tip

[Timothy Penner via 4D_Tech]

Do you have user settings enabled or are you using the settings embedded into 
the structure?

If you are using the settings embedded in the structure then you are probably 
overwriting them each time you deploy a new structure.

If you are using user settings then maybe try resetting/resaving them when 
v15.5 is running? I am not sure if this is needed but the xml commands in v15.5 
are now case-sensisitve so maybe it's having trouble reading the old xml file 
(just a guess).

Re: Database Settings Publishing Info IP Address - Tip

[Doug Hall via 4D_Tech]

I just upgraded from 15.4 to 15.5 and now all of a sudden my Web Client
doesn't keep any of the web settings (at least) set on the server machine.
Any time I upgrade the server structure, it resets my web settings on my
web client back to their default values. HELP! Am I doing something wrong?
When I build my application, I copy all three files it generates and
replace the older versions. I did clear my cached folder, so that it would
regenerate it on the client. Still no love.
