Description:

Older Lexia product CDs install a version of the LexiaServer database service that lacks some important performance settings.

Solution:

  1. Open the folder where you installed LexiaServer.
    • For Windows, the default location is c:\program files\lexiaserver\
    • For OS X, the default location is {My Computer}:Applications:LexiaServer:
  2. Double-click on the file named 'LexiaServer.ini'. It should open in a text editor (such as TextEdit or WordPad).
  3. Make the modifications to the values shown below. (The 'DisableDNS' line may have to be added.)
    • THREADS = 15; the number of concurrent threads to the database
    • MAXCLIENTTIMEOUT = 80; minutes to try to connect to server
    • DisableDNS=1; use TCP/IP address for faster connections
    • [VSDK]
      CacheSize=30; the size of database cache in MB
  4. Save the lexiaServer.ini file.
  5. Restart the LexiaServer database service. (For details, please see FAQ #100404.)
