1104 - How to do a manual installation of a Slave AccountServer

1. Make sure the Slave AccountServer will be running on port 443.

2. Install SQL Express and make sure the permissions are configured as desired.

3. In CMD or PowerShell, as an administrator:

• Navigate to C:\Program Files\Attix5 Pro\Storage Platform.
• Run AccountServer.exe to install the service.
• Start the service to create an empty settings file to configure.

4. In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\ProgramData\Attix5 Pro\AS_Service and open the file settings.xml in Notepad. Adjust/add the following entries:

<IsSlave>True</IsSlave>
<ActivationKey>Enter platform activation key here</ActivationKey>
<AdminPass>Enter platform admin password here</AdminPass>
<PublicIp>
  <String>Enter Config IP address to bind on, cannot bind on DNS</String>
</PublicIP>

Save the configuration in the settings file. User Access Control may prevent you from saving the file to the original location, in which case you will have to save it to an alternate location, then copy and overwrite the file to C:\ProgramData\Attix5 Pro\AS_Service.

5. Configure the connection string to SQL:

• Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Attix5 Pro\AS_Service.
• Edit the file ConnectionStrings.config in Notepad.
• Set Data Source=ServerName (or it could be one of the following options: ServerName\SQLInstanceName or InstanceName or (local) or IP or IP\InstanceName).
• Save the configuration in the settings file. User Access Control may prevent you from saving the file to the original location, in which case you will have to save it to an alternate location, then copy and overwrite the file to C:\ProgramData\Attix5 Pro\AS_Service.

6. Once done, you can attempt to start the service.
