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

|
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
|
