Training:Installing MDriven Server on Windows

Installing IIS Services and its components

To install IIS Services on Windows 10 head to the Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off

You need to add:

• Internet Information Services

• ASP .NET 4.5 (or higher) and its components.
• Important! Under .Net Framework 4.5(or higher) Features -> WCF Services -> select HTTP Activation and TCP Port Sharing.

Note: If you don’t install HTTP Activation, you will get “Error 405 – method not allowed” instead of the MDriven login screen.

• After the installation of IIS you can start IIS Manager on your computer.

Setting up IIS Manager

• You should install Microsoft Web Platform Installer 5.0 - https://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx

• After the installation, open WPI -> Products and install following components to IIS:

1. Logging Tools
2. Request Monitor
3. Tracing
4. Dynamic Content Compression
5. Application Initialization
6. Management Service
7. IIS Management Scripts and Tools
8. Basic Authentication, Windows authentication or another authentication service
9. Web Deploy 3.6. (or download Web Deploy from Microsoft website - https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/web-deploy) .

• After these steps restart IIS Manager.

If you don't see "Deploy section" when you select an IIS site you need to repair or re-install Web Deploy 3.6.

Install MDriven Server & MDriven Turnkey

Add an Application Pool

• Start IIS Manager and add an Application Pool

• Name your Pool and set it to .NET CLR 4.0 and Integrated pipeline mode.

• Select an Advanced Settings and set:
  • Start mode: AlwaysRunning
  • Identity: <choose what suits your needs>
  • Limit interval: 1

Add a certificate for SSL

• In ISS Manager select Server Certificates and create Self-Signed Certificate.

• On the Default web site, add https binding for port 433 and select the certificate needed.

Installing of MDriven Server and MDriven Turnkey

• Add an application and give a descriptive name. Select the Application Pool which you created earlier.

1. Create an application with your name ("MyTurnkeyApp)
2. Create another application under “MyTrunkeyApp” called “__MDrivenServer” (double underscore) so that it ends up like this: “MyTurnkeyApp/__MDrivenServer”

• Use the deploy function to import the application MDriven Server & MDriven Turnkey which you download from the Capable Objects site. The installer will not overwrite your existing database if this is an upgrade.

Note: During installation of MDriven Server or MDriven Turnkey app, if you created the structure before, keep "application path" field empty to save the needed folders' structure.

• As a result you will get the next application structure

Setting up MDriven Server

Now, you can open your MDrivenServer in a browser via link

https://localhost/<Your_application_name>/__MDrivenServer/

Important! You have to change "localhost" in a link to your machine name because actually, you aren't "localhost".

In the IIS Manager head to Server Certificate, select your self-signed certificate which you have created early and open "Details" and find "Subject". It will be your machine name.
