Installing plug-ins

To install a plug-in, follow the instructions that came with the plug-in software.

If no directions came with the software, drag the plug-in to the Plug-Ins folder
inside the current Web folder, chosen in the Web & File Sharing Settings
window.

Setting aside memory for plug-ins

The documentation that came with your plug-in may tell you how much
memory the plug-in needs to load and to work properly. (All the plug-ins in
the Plug-Ins folder load when your Web server starts.)

Important Do not adjust the memory set aside for plug-ins by using the
server’s Information dialog box. Instead follow the instructions in this section.

1

Open the Web & File Admin program.

2

Choose Web & File Server Settings from the Server menu.

The Web & File Server Settings window appears.

3

Choose Web Plug-Ins from the pop-up menu.

<>

4

Increase the number in the box labeled Maximum Plug-in Memory Usage by the amount

of memory that your plug-in requires.

To increase this number, click the up arrow.

The total in the box should be at least as large as the sum of required memory
for all plug-ins in the Plug-Ins folder, plus any special plug-ins that reside
elsewhere. (See “Special Plug-in Settings,” later in this document.)

5

Click Save.

Before you save changes, you may want to read the next section and make
changes to other settings.
