To install WebBrix, run the setup.exe from the CD (or resource location). The install will ask some basic questions that will vary on the PC state. The install will also install needed components if necessary (MDAC, .NET, etc.).
Continue through the basic setup screens until reaching the “Features” screen (see figure Features). If you’re doing a “all in one” install, all features should be checked. WebBrix is a modular software, meaning these features can be spread across multiple machines, but each WebBrix system must have ALL features (including the database) installed and communicating on the network in order to function properly. When installing a modular system (a system spread across multiple PC's), it's recommended to install the WebBrix database first and then continue on with the other features. If you have questions regarding setup, please contact support.
The features screen also asks to install a WebBrix database or attach to an existing one.
Features
If attaching to an existing database (see figure Existing), select the database server from the list and click the "Test Connection" button to verify.
Existing
If installing the database (see figure Install), either click "Next" to install the database locally (on current machine) or click "Advanced" to select another SQL machine.
Install
Again, if installing the database, select the location and set the Administrator (sa) password and click "Next"
Destination
The WebBrix install might need to reboot the PC depending on what was installed. This screen prompts for the password for the current use in order to automatically log back into the PC if a reboot is necessary.
The next screen is the “Configuration Editor”. This allows you to specify a user that the needed WebBrix services will run under. It’s recommended you keep the default “Automatic” setting. Click Next to continue.
Enter the user who’s authority the services will run under. This user needs to be an Administrator on the local machine. If your WebBrix system is spread across multiple machines, it’s recommended this user be a domain user that’s part of the Administrators group on all WebBrix machines. You’ll then use the same user to run the services on all PC’s.
The install will complete and will prompt you to reboot the computer. Congratulations, once rebooted, you're no ready to start working with WebBrix.
