SQL Database
Gym Master is built on PostgreSQL which is a reliable open source SQL database. It is fully networkable, and scalable.
Gym Master can be run over the Internet. You can remotely connect to PostgreSQL databases over an internet connection. Ideal if you want to check what is happening in the gym remotely. Alternatively websites can be modified to directly get information from your postgresql database.
Windows Server 2003/2008 Installation
Gym Master can run over terminal services. Installation of Postgresql onto these servers does require additional work in setting up the SQL server. Please consult our manual on installing onto these environments.
Firewalls and Internet Connections
If you have a firewall, you may need to allow connections to localhost (127.0.0.1) to allow the SQL server to work properly. Most firewalls should allow connections localhost by default. The SQL server allows many client PCs to connect to the server. PostgreSQL runs on tcp port 5432.
Software updates and txt messages are done over HTTP. Some anti-virus software can block HTTP requests.
