Will WebMessenger 4.0 work in a load balanced environment where 2 people messaging each other get balanced to different servers.

 

We are using a hardware load balancer that round robin sessions to each server in the farm.

 

Thanks,

-Chris

Chris,

 

If you are using load balancing server, you need to stay with 3.x. The version 4.0 doesn't support load balancing.

 

If you want to use version 4.0, you can use one of the servers as the chat dedicated server.

 

 

Are you planning on enhancing 4.0 to handle load balancing soon?

 

We have deployed 4.0 - would we be taking a major step backward to go with 3.x - such as less features or serious bugs?

Adam,

 

Can you point me in the right direction as to which .js files to change in order to direct to a single web server - we are using the

Chat_OpenMessenger()

 

function, but it is resolving to the current path - tried changing the setting of this variable

Chris:

 

Hi , the CuteChat4 use a memory model kernal and all data are not able to share between servers .

So the CuteChat4 do not support balancing.

 

you can test the http://..../CuteSoft_Client/CuteChat/LoadSettings.aspx , and you can get the error detail.

 

Regards , Terry .
