Configuring Link Servers on Linux
If you are running Harmony in a mixed environment where the server is on CentOS Linux and some of the clients are running Windows, you must start the Link Server.This server makes it possible for Windows machines to communicate with the database.
How to configure the Link Server on the server in a mixed network environment
- Use a text editor to create the
Link_srv.conffile in the/USA_DBdirectory. This file must contain the following:
hostname harmonyserver
port 5679
Replace harmonyserver with the name of the database server. You can find the name of a computer by using the uname -n command.
NOTE: You can find the example of
Link_srv.conf under /usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_14/resources/samples/. Copy and paste it from there and change it accordingly.- Change the permissions on the
Dbserver.conffile to644.
chmod 644 Link_srv.conf
- Start the Link Server.
service USAnimation_link_srv start
A message appears in the shell indicating that the script was successful. A log file is generated in /tmp/Link_srv.log.
- Verify this log to ensure there are no errors written to it.
