Starting Client Programs from a Web Browser (fusion_place < 14.0)

This manual is in pilot operation.

The steps to start client programs from a web browser are as follows:

  1. Access the menu page of the server using a web browser. The URL of the menu page is as follows:

    http://(host):(port)/fusionplace/

    (host) is the hostname of the server you are connecting to, and (port) is the port number.

    Hostname:
    If you are using fusion_place standalone, the hostname is localhost.
    If you are using it based on a web server, specify the fixed IP address or hostname of the server machine.

    Port Number:
    The port number specified during the installation of fusion_place.
    If it is the initial suggested value by the installer, it is 50000.


    (Example 1) If used standalone and the port number is 50000, the URL is as follows:

    http://localhost:50000/fusionplace/

    (Example 2) If used based on a web server and the server’s IP address is 192.168.0.2, and the port number is 50000, the URL is as follows:

    http://192.168.0.2:50000/fusionplace/

    (Example 3) If used based on a web server and the server’s hostname is fusionplace.mycompany.com, and the port number is 50000, the URL is as follows:

    http://fusionplace.mycompany.com:50000/fusionplace/

  2. Click the following items on the displayed menu to start [Contributor], [Browser], and [Manager] respectively.

    • "Start [Contributor]"

    • "Start [Browser]"

    • "Start [Manager]"

Starting the Client with a Large Memory Allocation

When using 32-bit Windows on a client PC, starting each client program ([Contributor], [Browser], [Manager]) from the above menu allocates a maximum of about 256MB of memory to that client program.

If you want to start the client with a larger memory allocation, start the client program from the menu displayed at the following URL:

http://(host):(port)/fusionplace/index-1G.html

⚠ (host) is the hostname of the server you are connecting to, and (port) is the port number. Although the appearance of the menu page is the same, 1GB of memory is allocated to the client program. However, please note that if the available memory on the client PC is low, it may not start from this menu (restarting the PC may free up memory and allow it to start).

It is also possible to change the memory allocation amount when starting from the normal menu by configuring the server. Please refer to the section "Memory Management."
