The Chapter 4D Server in 10 Minutes is a quick tutorial that shows you how to:
• Create a server database
• Connect Clients to the created server database
• Create a database structure, including tables, fields, forms, menus and methods
• Connect with a second user and work concurrently
• Connect with a Web browser
You will need:
• One machine with 4D Server installed
• Two machines with 4D Client installed
• One machine with a Web browser installed
Before working with 4D Server and 4D Client for the first time, it is a good idea to check your installation. To do so, read this section.
Installed elements
If you have installed 4D Server and 4D Client in the default folders proposed by their installation programs, you should have the following folders and files on disk.
4D Server
A 4D Server folder located in the installation folder has been created.
• Under Windows, this folder contains the 4D Server application, its related files, and a 4D Extensions folder. To start 4D Server, double-click on the 4DSERVER.EXE file.
• Under Mac OS, this folder contains the 4D Server software package. To launch 4D Server, just double-click on this package.
4D Client
A 4D Client folder located in the installation folder has been created.
• Under Windows, this folder contains the 4D Client application, its related files, and a 4D Extensions folder. To start 4D Client, double-click on the 4DCLIENT.EXE file.
• Under Mac OS, this folder contains the 4D Client software package. To launch 4D Client, just double-click on this package
Where To Go From Here?
Note that the TCP/IP protocol should be configured for your machines to communicate over the network.
If 4D Server and 4D Client are correctly installed, proceed with the section Creating a Server Database. Otherwise, if some of the files listed above are missing, refer to the 4D Product Line Installation Guide and proceed with the installation of these files.
