Requirements for installation

  • IIS 7.0  or 7.5
  • SQL Server 2008 R2 or Express
  • Microsoft.NET Framework 4 or superior
  • Installation pack

Step-by-step

  1. Decompress installation pack
  2. Specify installation address
  3. Copy decompressed files into the installation address
  4. configure the web server (IIS)
  5. Run scripts for creation/update of database

 



1. Decompress installation pack

When decompressing the installation pack, the following structure of files will be displayed:

DATABASE_SCRIPTS: Contains script files to generate and/or update database of the system according the possible changes in each version.
TOOLS: Contains software to help installing the system.
WEB: Contains the application files.



2. Define an address for installation

In case of upgrade of the system, please ignore this step, since the installation path already exists.

We must set an address for the installation, in which all the web files of the application will be filed.

The structure above is no more than a suggestion.

 

 

3. Copy the decompressed files into the installation address

Copy all the content of the folder WEB that has been generated when the installation pack was decompressed and copy it to the installation address.

In case it is a new installation, rename the file web.config.Sample  to web.config.
In case it is an upgrade of the system, replace all the existing files with the new ones.

 

 


4. Configure web server (IIS)

In case of system upgrade, ignore this step, as the server will be already configured.

A new site will be created with the information about the installation address.

 

The integrated authentication (Windows Authentication) must be enabled and the anonymous authentication (Anonymous Authentication) must be disabled.

 


The site’s AppPool must be in the 4 version, with the pipeline in the mode integrated and the user of the configuration must have access granted of the folder defined as the system installation address.



5. Run scrips for creation/ update of database

In the folder “TOOLS” generated when the installation pack was decompressed, there will be a file name “Constant.Tools.exe” which is a software named Patcher. This software must be installed in order to help running database scripts in the correct form and order. Scripts may be generated each time the system is updated and through this software the scripts will run in a safer way.

After installed, follow the instructions to use the patcher in the link below:

If this is the first installation, you must create an empty database and name it as you choose. We suggest the name AWB.
