Chapter 4 Assembling and Administering Your Server
If necessary, you can move the MapAgent executable file to a different CGI
script directory
after you finish the installation. You can also change the
remote Autodesk MapGuide Server’s IP address by manually editing the
REG_SZ registry, as described in the following procedure.
Warning Whenever you edit your registry, be sure to use great caution. We
recommend that you make a backup of your registry before you proceed.
To edit a remote server’s IP address
1 Run the Windows NT REGEDT32.EXE tool. You can do this by clicking the
Start button, choosing Run, and then typing REGEDT32 in the Open box.
We do not advise that you use the Windows NT tool REGEDIT.EXE ,
because currently it does not have a friendly interface for editing REG_SZ
values.
2 In the Registry Editor, navigate to the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\MapGuide Server
Agent\5.0
, and then double-click the REG_SZ value Mapserver_IP .
3 By default, the value is blank, which directs the MapAgent to the local
computer. To direct the MapAgent to Autodesk MapGuide Server on a
remote computer, enter that computer’s IP address. If your Autodesk
MapGuide Server’s IP address is assigned via DHCP, the IP will vary over
time; in this case, enter the DNS host name of the Autodesk MapGuide
Server instead of the IP address.
While you are editing the value for this key, you can also set up Autodesk
MapGuide to take advantage of load balancing.
Configuring for Load Balancing
You can specify multiple Autodesk MapGuide Servers by entering each IP, or
DNS host name, on a separate line in the REG_SZ value
Mapserver_IP . The
MapAgent will balance the processing requirements by distributing the map
requests among the Autodesk MapGuide Servers specified in this value. Note
that when you add IP addresses or DNS host names to this value, the local
computer is no longer included by default, so you must also enter the IP or
DNS host name of the local computer if you want the MapAgent to continue
to use it along with the other servers specified.
