Hey Moderators,
You guys are simply rocking. Congrats on a great product. Wish you all the very best for all your upcoming endeavors.

I am from India. I Just downloaded this software and trying to use it on my Aunts restaurant.

Now I would like to configure this system on a network, ie like a server will be running which will have the software installed.
We are planning to use some ipods/or other hand held terminals to take orders. pls suggest the techniques as how we can go about doing this

If you can upload some videos with english sub-titles, it would be appreciated.

Hello mozhi;

Setting up client server connections documented here
http://doc.sambapos.org/doku.php/en/dbase/client_server_baglantisi_nasil_yapilir

Running SambaPOS application in tablets is possible with remote desktop applications. There are two SambaPOS client applications for different screen sizes. http://doc.sambapos.org/doku.php/en/guide/posclients

We're using "Pocket Cloud" application for IPads, "2X client" for Android and for WF35 handheld terminals or Windows Mobile clients we're using built in Terminal Client application.

Hi Emre/John,
Can you tell me the steps to do a client server configuration. i am a beginner to DB. I have installed SQLSERVER on server machine
and in client machine i  have tried the data source string in local settings as suggested in the posts. But it is not working.

the app_trace.log says "The provider(TCp) didnot return a providerManifestToken String"  How do i make my server to allow remote connections

Thanks in advance.

Mozhi,

What version of SQL are you using and what operating system are you using?

SQL Express 2008 setup instruction are here - http://doc.sambapos.org/doku.php/tr/dbase/sql_server_2008_express_edition_nasil_kurulur

I always create a new instance called SAMBAPOS.

Make sure you have turned on mixed mode authentication and set a password. Usually User Id = sa, and Password = sambapos or what ever you want - just don't forget it.

Make sure that SQL Browser is set to start automatically, if it is disabled you will have connection issues.

Then in SambaPOS set you Data Connection String to data source=servername\SAMBAPOS; User Id=sa; Password=sambapos

And last, but not least, make sure that any firewall software you have is letting the SQL connections pass thru. I find it best to turn off all firewalls until you get it working.

Once that is working make sure that each workstation has it's own Terminal ID in SambaPOS.

This will help with the iPods, etc http://forum2.sambapos.org/index.php/topic,188.0.html

Thanks John,
I have currently installed SQL Server 2008 in the server machine along with SAMBA POS instance.
In the client machine i have installed Samba POS with SQLCE for training purpose

In the server the configuratuion of data source = localhost\SQLEXPRESS and it is working fine. I haven't configured any user name/password  so i havent given any authentication strings
In the client machine I dont have SQl server 2008 installed. But i have configured datasource = home\SQLExpress where home is the name of the server where the SQL server installation is present.

I have checked the SQL Browser in the SQL Server configuration Manager tool and it is running perfectly fine and wrt to Windows firewall it is disabled in server PC.

I am not clear about the what is the use of the messaging server, messaging port, auto start message client in the local settings tab? Should it be configured in the client machine/server machine and what purpose does it serve?

WRT to Remote Desktop i have already tested it with my Windows Phone and it is working fine. One small query is Which free software are you using in case of IPOD?
