- Network Installation Overview
- (Quick summary of the Network Administrator's Guide)
-
- These notes are applicable to any Network using Paradox.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- You must create and map/link 3 special directories:
-
- 1) Paradox system file directory
- 2) Data file directory
- 3) User Private directory

-
- Tips:
-
- o Read the first two chapters of the Paradox Network Administrator's
- Guide and the chapter on "Other" Networks.
-
- o Start Paradox from the Private Directory.
-
- o Have Paradox and the Private directories on the DOS PATH with the
- Private directory appearing before Paradox.
-
- o Do NOT make the \PDOXDATA directory a child directory of \PARADOX.
- On some networks the child directory cannot have greater rights than
- the parent.
-
- o Have every user reference shared directories by the same logical
- drive name (NOT C:\something).
-
- o If on a non-dedicated network such as LANtastic, do not let users
- work from the server via a physical drive name such as C:, but
- rather make sure to work from logical drives like E:.
-
- o Create a PARADOX.CFG for each user as per the Network
- Administrator's Guide chapter "Configuration".
-
- o Once installed eliminate PARADOX.CFG from the Paradox system file
- directory since each user will have their own copy.
-
- o On most Networks of type OTHER use -SHARE option to start Paradox
- (Paradox -share). This will usually mean that you have to invoke
- the DOS SHARE command as well.
-
- o If you are using Paradox version 3, substitute "Paradox3" where you
- read "Paradox" above.

- Common Questions: (See also Network Administrators Guide)
-
-
- What are the causes for the message "Unable to record lock unlock
- Paradox.Net"?
-
- o Insufficient rights in PDOXDATA directory.
-
- o Linking or mapping statements do not match the location specified at
- install time for the Paradox.Net (Run Nupdate.exe from the \Paradox
- directory or the install disk to reset location, or redo network map
- or link statements).
-
- o Finding someone else's PARADOX.CFG file along PATH at startup.
-
- o Presence of a leftover *.lck file due to someone abnormally exiting
- Paradox. (With no one in Paradox the presence of a *.lck file
- indicates an earlier problem. When no one is in Paradox you can
- delete any *.lck files or even the Paradox.net file to start
- afresh).
-
- Why the message "Not enough disk space to complete operation"?
-
- o On networks, Paradox disk space requirements refer to the User's
- PRIVATE directory. You need between 2 and 3 times the size of free
- disk space available in the User's PRIVATE directory for the tables
- in question. Use Tools/Net/SetPrivate to test Private Directory
- location.
-
- Is there a way around the message "Sharing Violation"?
-
- o This message may occur with multiple users (or sessions such as in
- Microsoft Windows) sharing the Paradox system files. This message
- has been reported on Networks such as Banyan's Vines and Lantastic
- from Artisoft. Another symptom of the same problem is when a second
- session cannot start Paradox.
-
- o One method of getting beyond this message is to use the DOS ATTRIB
- Command to set *.EXE Files within the Paradox directory to READ ONLY
- (eg. ATTRIB +R *.EXE from the Paradox directory prompt).
