Server questions

Hi Trixi,

I purchased the omega bundle and received the ADK's along with the purchase so I am not 100% sure of the answer. 

After reading the following links, I still don't know. But hopefully Lynn Fredricks can answer this one for you through email. If not, I'd call him over the phone.

From the link you provided:

> VConnection( 	
> 	inHost as String, 
> 	inUserName as String, 
> 	inUserPassword as String, 
> 	inPort as Integer = 15432,
> 	inTimeOut as Integer = 5,
> 	inOptions as String = "" )
> 
> dim connection as VConnection
> 
> connection = new VConnection( "localhost", "sa", "sa" )
> or
> connection = new VConnection( "123.456.789.123", "sa", "sa" )


They should also have provided this example:

or
connection = new VConnection( "123.456.789.123", "sa", "sa", 15432, 5, "your_serial_goes_right_here" )

This is a question for Ruslan I think.

> Sigh.. the documentation STILL is so frustrating. When will Valentina ever get a user friendly, detailed documentation in english with proper grammar? And yes grammar matters. Here is some original text from one of the log files:
> 
>> "WARNING: Owner name/email are missed in the INI file. It is highly recommend to fill it up to let Valentina team contacts you in case of vServer crashes.”

>> "Owner name and email are missing in the INI file. It’s highly recommended to fill this in to let the Valentina team contact you in case the server crashes.”

> Is this really so hard for russians to do? Am I the only grammar-nazi here? A while ago Xojo hired Paul Lefebre “only” for documentation and as evangelist. The Xojo documentation is getting better and better because of him. It’s really time that Valentina also had a guy for the docs.


Agreed. It's difficult to read. Believe it or not, most of the answers we need ARE on the wiki, but you have to wade through it with patience. If the examples were improved I think l would have got my projects going much faster.
