FileWave TCP/IP Port Usage

By default the FileWave software listens on the TCP/IP ports listed below. These are the defaults and they can be configured to listen on different ports if required.
New ports numbers are in red.

FileWave Client Ports
20010 TCP/IP for monitor-client communication
20020 TCP/IP for Kiosk (fwgui to talk to client)

FileWave Inventory
The current release of FileWave Inventory will not work on a default install of OS X Snow Leopard.  This reason for this is that the Inventory component uses the default OS X PHP library.  Snow Leopard ships with PHP version 5.3.  IonCube in turn has not released a loader for this paticular PHP version.

A workaround would be to downgrade the PHP library to 5.2.6 but it's recomended to simply wait until a new release of Inventory is published which will use a MAMP style server install.

During a Leopard 10.5.6 OSX update, a newer version of PHP was installed to the system.  Because Inventory 9 uses the OSX version of PHP, a number of things break due to this bug.  The fix is to downgrade the PHP library on the server back to what it origionaly was until Apple updates the PHP library to fix the bug.

This issue only affects Leopard users.  Tiger users are not effected.

Configuring Inventory for OBDC queries.

In order to access your mySQL Inventory database through OBDC, you'll have to configure both the Inventory computer and the accessing (client) computer.

On the Inventory computer, configure mySQL for remote access. By default, mySQL will only allow the root@localhost user to access the mySQL database. To allow remote access to a user, do the following.

The Asset Trustee database contains valuable information, is easy to back up, and takes very little space. In short, there's virtually no reason not to back up your AT database periodically. This article will describe the steps to create an automated Asset Trustee database backup solution.

First, download this Script.

If you have MySQL 4.x from a previous version of Inventory, you must upgrade to MySql 5.x.
