'''MapGuide Open User Technical FAQ's'''

'''Is there a way around Window's XP Internet Information Services 10 connection limit?'''
<br>Yes, this constraint can be partially worked around by editing the IIS Metabase.
For those interested in getting under the hood, you can download the Metabase editor from here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/232068.  Then, change the LM\W3SVC\MaxConnections value from 10 to 40.  Note that setting it above 40 will not help.

'''Can a resource point to my Shape, SDF or Raster files in a file location outside of the repository?'''
<br>Yes, you can work-around this by following the steps found in this mail list post.  https://mapguide.osgeo.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=321.  There is also a white paper on this topic on Autodesk's MapGuide Enterprise web site at: http://images.autodesk.com/adsk/files/linking_to_external_data_autodeskmapguidewhitepaper.pdf

'''Is there a good resource for database connection string information?'''
<br>Yes, check out http://www.connectionstrings.com/.  I'm sure if we get them OGR connection strings, they will publish them as well.

'''How do I use the open source raster provider with Studio?'''
<br>Instructions for this are on the [[MapGuide Open Source Using the Open Source Raster Provider with Studio]] page.
