Clarifications to Chapter 3 of the Connect Edge Server 6 Installation Guide

The complete Connect Edge Server 6 Installation and Configuration Guide can be downloaded from:

Issue 1

On Page 22, under the section Install the Connect Edge Server license file, you should see the following text:

2. Save the license file to the licenses folder: [root_install_dir]\edgeserver\win32\licenses. By default, the root installation directory is c:\breeze.

The installation guide fails to mention that the 'licenses' folder does not exist. You need to manually create the folder.

Issue 2

On Page 26, under the section Deploy Connect Edge Server, you should see the following text:

3. Connect Edge Server, if there is a custom.ini file in the root directory (c:\breeze, by default), delete it.
4. In a text editor, such as Notepad, create a new text file named custom.ini. Set values for the following parameters in the file and save it:

Step 3 above is correct. However, in step 4 above, the newly created custom.ini should reside in 'C:\breeze\edgeserver'.

Here's a sample config.ini for an Edge server:

 FCS.HTTPCACHE_BREEZE_SERVER_NORMAL_PORT=connect.yourcompany.com:80
		

	 FCS_EDGE_HOST=edge.yourcompany.com
		

	 FCS_EDGE_REGISTER_HOST=blue">connect.yourcompany.com
		

	 FCS_EDGE_CLUSTER_ID=yourcompany-edge
		

	 FCS_EDGE_REG_INTERVAL=120

Here's a sample custom.ini for it's corresponding Origin server:

 [SETUP]
		

	 # This configuration file is designed to override default
		

	 # settings required for the correct operation of Breeze.
		

	 #
		

	 # Do not edit this file unless you receive specific
		

	 # instructions from customer support.
		

	 DB_HOST=localhost
		

	 DB_PORT=1433
		

	 DB_NAME=breeze
		

	 DB_USER=sa
		

	 DB_PASSWORD=#V1#4cUsRJ6oeFwZLnQPpS4f0w==
		

	 
		

	 # DEBUG LOGGING SETTINGS
		

	 HTTP_TRACE=yes
		

	 DB_LOG_ALL_QUERIES=yes
		

	 
		

	 yourcompany-edge=1

Note: The 'yourcompany-edge' parameter in the custom.ini on the Origin server should match the FCS_EDGE_CLUSTER_ID parameter in the custom.ini on the Edge server.
