Parameters of a Dynamic WebDev site

 

To view the parameters of a specific Dynamic WebDev site:

In the list of sites, select the WebDev site you want. The characteristics of the site come up:

 - connections

 - parameters

 

Connections

For the selected site are displayed:

·                  the number of current connections

·                  the site state:
Active: this site can be accessed through the Internet: this site can be used by Web users.
Inactive: this site is installed on the server but the site isn’t available. The site can’t be used by the Web users: a message indicating that the server is being updated comes up.

 

The site manager (or the server administrator) can:

·                  Deactivate or activate the site:
The site is made available or not. We recommend you deactivate a site before performing a media-based update for example.

·                  Disconnect all Web users:
All the Web users currently connected to the WebDev site will be automatically disconnected: an error page displayed in the browser will indicate that they’ve been disconnected from the site.

·                  Test the site:
You can directly test the current Dynamic WebDev site. The WebDev site then runs in a new browser window.

The "Refresh" button lets you update the data displayed in the remote administrator based on the current server connections.

 

Site parameters

For the selected site, the site manager (or the server administrator) can set the parameters for:

·                  the maximum number of simultaneous connections authorized for this site:
If this number is exceeded, an error message will come up on the Web user’s browser, telling him that he’s reached the number of authorized connections.
Caution: This number can’t be greater than the total number of connections authorized by the server administrator for all the Dynamic WebDev sites installed on the server. If this number is exceeded, the maximum number for the current site is automatically reduced.

·                  the maximum number of connections for a given Web user:
This number corresponds to the maximum number of simultaneous connections for a given Web user to a WebDev site.
This parameter is important: because, if the same Web user can connect several times to the same site (over a 100 times for example), he may take up all the server resources, and slow down (or even lock) access to the site.
If this parameter is set to zero, a Web user trying to simultaneously connect to the same site, will automatically be disconnected then reconnected.
If this parameter is greater than zero, an error message will automatically be displayed after x simultaneous connections.

·                  Disconnect users inactive for:
Maximum connection time authorized without any Web user action. If this time is exceeded, the Web user is automatically disconnected, and an error message is displayed.

 

The "Apply" button lets you immediately apply the modifications performed.

The "By default" button lets you retrieve the main parameter settings for the server.
