If necessary, you can move the MapAgent executable file to a different CGI script directory after you finish the installation. You can also change the remote Autodesk MapGuide Server's IP address by manually editing the REG_MULTI_SZ registry, as described in the following procedure. Warning Whenever you edit your registry, be sure to use great caution. We recommend that you make a backup of your registry before you proceed. To edit a remote server's IP address 1 Run the Windows NT REGEDT32.EXE tool. You can do this by clicking the Start button, choosing Run, and then entering REGEDT32 in the Open box. We do not advise that you use the Windows NT tool REGEDIT.EXE, because currently it does not have a friendly interface for editing registry values. 2 In the Registry Editor, navigate to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Autodesk\MapGuide Server Agent\6.0, and then double-click the Mapserver_IP value. 3 By default, the value is blank, which directs the MapAgent to the local computer. To direct the MapAgent to Autodesk MapGuide Server on a remote computer, enter that computer's IP address. If your Autodesk MapGuide Server IP address is assigned via DHCP, the IP will vary over time; in this case, enter the DNS host name of the Autodesk MapGuide Server instead of the IP address. While you are editing the value for this key, you can also set up Autodesk MapGuide to take advantage of load balancing. Configuring for Load Balancing You can specify multiple Autodesk MapGuide Servers by entering each IP, or DNS host name, on a separate line in the REG_SZ value Mapserver_IP. The MapAgent will balance the processing requirements by distributing the map requests among the Autodesk MapGuide Servers specified in this value. Note that when you add IP addresses or DNS host names to this value, the local computer is no longer included by default, so you must also enter the IP or DNS host name of the local computer if you want the MapAgent to continue to use it along with the other servers specified. 72 | Chapter 4 Assembling and Administering Your Server
