Webconfig.ini

Overview

Webconfig.ini controls various aspects of the MapGuide WebExtensions and MapAgent. It is typically located in C:\Program Files\OSGeo\MapGuide\Web\www or /usr/local/mapguideopensource/webserverextensions/www.

[GeneralProperties] Section

Property Name Supported In Restrictions Description
DefaultMessageLocale if a 5 character locale is specified the first 2 characters must be lower case and the last 2 characters must be upper case. ISO 639-1 name for the message locale
Example: en or en-US
ResourcesPath Path where the localization resource files are stored
TcpIpMtu 0 < Value <= 65535 The TCP/IP maximum transmission unit
FailoverRetryTime 2.2(+) Time in seconds for when to retry connecting to a MapGuide server that has gone offline.

FailoverRetryTime

For a single Web Tier and MapGuide server pair use 1. For a load balanced configuration with multiple MapGuide servers use 60. Values other than 1 will cause a delay when re-establishing a connection with the Web Tier after restarting a MapGuide server.

[AdministrativeConnectionProperties] Section

Property Name Supported In Restrictions Description
MaxConnections The maximum allowed concurrent connections for this port.
!Port The port to use for administrative operations. If you change the port # here you must also change the corresponding port # for the server configuration file.

MaxConnections

The default values in the table below are applicable for a typical user load and a single web tier process space connected to a quad core server. In MapGuide 2.1, the MapGuide server on Windows can only support 62 open connections. Heavy user loads on Windows may create multiple web tier processes and exhaust the available connections with the default settings. MaxConnections may need to be reduced under these circumstances. For MapGuide 2.2 and later, the MapGuide server can support more than 500 connections.

Connection Type Platform Default Value Tuning Considerations
Administrative MapGuide 2.1 Windows 2 Reduce to 1 if server becomes unresposive under heavy load
Client MapGuide 2.1 Windows 12 Reduce to 6 if server becomes unresposive under heavy load
Site MapGuide 2.1 Windows 6 Reduce to 3 if server becomes unresposive under heavy load
Administrative MapGuide Linux (all versions)
MapGuide 2.2 Windows
2 Set to #of cores on server machine
Client MapGuide Linux (all versions)
MapGuide 2.2 Windows
12 Set to 3x #of cores on server machine
Site MapGuide Linux (all versions)
MapGuide 2.2 Windows
6 Set to 2x #of cores on server machine

[ClientConnectionProperties] Section

Property Name Supported In Restrictions Description
MaxConnections The maximum allowed concurrent connections for this port.
!Port The port to use for client operations. If you change the port # here you must also change the corresponding port # for the server configuration file.

[SiteConnectionProperties] Section

Property Name Supported In Restrictions Description
MaxConnections The maximum allowed concurrent connections for this port.
!Port The port to use for site operations. If you change the port # here you must also change the corresponding port # for the server configuration file.
