[AdministrativeConnectionProperties] Section
| Property Name | Supported In | Restrictions | Description |
| 0 <= Length <= 255 | Server administrator's email address | ||
| MaxConnections | 0 < Value <= 1024 | Max # of open administration connections | |
| Port | Port to use for administration operations. WARNING: If you change the port # here you must also change the corresponding port # in webconfig.ini | ||
| QueueSize | 0 < Value <= 1024 | Max # of administration operations to queue | |
| ThreadPoolSize | 0 < Value <= 1024 | # of threads available for processing administration operations |
MaxConnections
MaxConnections determines the maximum number of web tier connections the server will accept. For MapGuide 2.1 and earlier on Windows, the total number of connections (administrative + client + site) must be no greater than 62 connections. On the 63rd connection attempt, the server will become unresponsive. For MapGuide 2.2 on Windows and all versions of MapGuide on Linux, the supported connection limit is greater than 500 connections.
To fully utilize all cores on a MapGuide server machine, there should be 1 administrative, 3 client, and 2 site connections per core. Assigning additional connections may reduce request queue lengths and make better utilize server resources if longer delay features sources like WMS, WFS, and databases are used. For local on-disk feature sources like SDF and SHP, the 1/3/2 per core listed above will typically be sufficient.
QueueSize
The request queue size should be set to at leat MaxConnections - ThreadPoolSize. Setting the queue size too low could lead to request loss under heavy load.
ThreadPoolSize
To fully utilize all cores on a MapGuide server machine, there should be 1 administrative, 3 client, and 2 site threads available per core. Increasing the thread pool size further may reduce request queue lengths and make better utilize server resources if longer delay features sources like WMS, WFS, and databases are used. For local on-disk feature sources like SDF and SHP, the 1/3/2 per core listed above will typically be sufficient.

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 | |

| 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 |
