Land F/X Server Information

The Server installation contains ALL Files required for the use of our software.

Because all required files are located on the server, we recommend you verify with your office's IT department that a viable backup solution is in place. Typically, the Land F/X Server is the machine that also hosts your project DWG files. You will want to include the LandFX folder in your current backup solution.

The default install location of the Land F/X Server is C:\LandFX – that is, on the C: drive of the computer on which your installation is taking place. You can change this location during the install process. Note, however, that if you do change the install location, you must set to an internal hard drive. The MySQL data is stored in the LandFX\Data folder.

After a server installation, all desired Land F/X workstations must be able to "see" the LandFX folder over the network, and must have full permissions to this directory. This means that if your office installs our software on a central server, you will need to grant full permissions to all Land F/X users in your office.

Because MySQL communicates over a TCP/IP stack, you will also need to disable any firewall that may be blocking port 3306, or set a exception in your firewall settings for this port. (This only applies if you are using a firewall product other than Windows Firewall).
