Frequently Asked Questions |
If you accessed the Sambar Server home page using the 'Open File...' or 'Open Local...' command of your browser then you are not invoking the Sambar Server and will not be able to access any Sambar Server features (such as administration).
Check the URL displayed at the top of your browser. If it is prefixed with file:// then this is the problem. Reconnect to the Sambar Server using the web server's address.
You can use filenames with a space in them by replacing the space in the URL with '%20' (without the quotes). For example: http://localhost/this%20file.htm
Any of the wildcard entries in the security.ini can be set to the keyword "null" which will match the absense of a corresponding value.
The server can be "paused" during non-operational hours using the
server RPC /session/sysmgmt?action=pause
and then "unpaused"
using the RPC /session/sysmgmt?action=unpause
. To automate
this action so that the server is paused automatically, use the Task Scheduler
on the Services form in System Administration.
One possible cause is Microsoft's anti-spyware (Windows Defender).
This and other anti-spyware products can mis-identify software unknown
to them as spyware and kill it when they perform a system inventory.
Microsoft's product is particularly aggressive at terminating
non-Microsoft software. Fortunately, these products have a mechanism
that allows you to indicate the Sambar Server service should be permitted
to continue operation; this must typically be manually configured.
The Norton Antivirus package inserts a SMTP proxy into all server
operations. If enabled on the same platform as the Sambar Server,
the Notron Antivirus can disable the Save to Sent functionality as well as
other SMTP extensions utilized by WebMail and the ASP mail APIs.
You should consider running a package such as Avast rather than
Norton Antivirus on the Sambar Server platform.
