The Chapter 4D Server in 10 Minutes is a quick tutorial that shows you how to:

  • Create a server database
  • Connect Clients to the created server database
  • Create a database structure, including tables, fields, forms, menus and methods
  • Connect with a second user and work concurrently

You will need at least two computers:

  • One machine with 4D Server, 4D and a Web browser installed
  • Another machine with 4D installed

Before working with 4D Server and 4D in local mode for the first time, it is a good idea to check your installation. To do so, read this section.

This paragraph specifies the location of the elements installed on your disk following a standard installation of 4D + 4D Server.

Windows  

The elements have been installed in the Program Files\4D\4D vXX folder and appear in the Start menu.

  • 4D Server: This folder contains the 4D Server application as well as its associated files and folders. To launch 4D Server, simply double-click on the 4D Server.exe file.
  • 4D: This folder contains the 4D application as well as its associated files and folders. To launch 4D, simply double-click on the 4D.exe file.

Mac OS  

The elements have been installed in the Applications:4D:4D vXX folder and appear in the applications.

  • 4D Server: 4D Server software package. To launch 4D Server, just double-click this package.
  • 4D: 4D software package. To launch 4D, just double-click this package.

For this particular exercise, you must install 4D on an additional machine as well.

Note that the TCP/IP protocol should be configured for your machines to communicate over the network.

If 4D Server and 4D are correctly installed, proceed with the Creating a Server Database section. Otherwise, if some of the files listed above are missing, refer to the 4D Installation Guide and proceed with the installation of these files.
