Follow the installation wizard instructions.
Installation Step 1 (The Start)
The installation process starts. The installation wizard displays information
about the product and the installation.
Installation Step 2 (License
Agreement)
The installation wizard displays the license agreement. Read
it carefully. You
have to accept the license agreement to continue the
installation.
Installation Step 3 (Database Type
Selection)
- License key: If you have already purchased a license,
enter the license key here. If you install the product for
evaluation purposes, leave the default field value (DEMO).
- Choose database: You must select the exact database
type for which your license has been issued. Selecting any database
type other than the one stipulated by the license violates the
license agreement and can cause partial or full malfunction of
your site.
Note! The MSSQL database type will be available if
only ODBC is supported by your system. Oracle databases
require the OCI8 library (the file php_oci8.dll) to
be installed. If your system does not meet these
conditions, the MSSQL and/or Oracle database types will not be
available.
Oracle and MySQL databases can be
installed in UTF-8 encoding. If you
choose to install UTF-8 version, mark
the UTF-8 Installation option.
Installation step 4 (Preliminary
Verification):
The installation wizard checks your system for minimum requirements and displays advices on how to
tune your system for optimum performance.
If your system does not match minimum requirements, the problem description
in red will display on the top of the screen.
The detailed description of the incompatibility can be found
in the page body. You cannot continue installation until you fix the problem.
If your system does not match the recommended settings,
you can still proceed with the installation. The installer will show
the potentially incorrect settings.
However, it is strongly recommended that
you bring these settings into line with
the recommended values. You can verify the
system preferences in the Site Check
form in Control Panel.
Installation step 5 (Database
Creation):
Here the license file and the database connection configuration
file are created, and the data is uploaded to the database.
- MySQL:
- Server: Server that hosts the database engine. Usually "localhost" for local servers.
- Database user:
If checked, a new database user will be
created. Otherwise, an existing
user will be used.
- User name: A user name (login) of the database user to access the database.
- Password: A user password to access the database.
- Database: if checked, a new database
will be created. Otherwise, the existing
database will be used.
- Database name: The name of the database
to which the product will be installed.
Note! If you choose to create a
new database or database user, you will have
to provide the database administrator's login
and password.
Note! The database administrator's user name
and password are used only at the installation and
database creation time. This information is not stored in the
system.
- Login: the administrator's login to
be used for connection
to the database.
- Password: the administrator's password
to be used for
connection to the
database.
- Type of database tables: Select
here the required type of tables. MySQL
supports custom table types as of version 4.0
and higher.
- Oracle:
- Connection string: This field should contain either the name of
a local Oracle instance, or the record name in
tnsnames.ora to connect to. Example of the name of the local Oracle instance: (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 000.000.0.00)(PORT =
0000)))(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = BX))).
- Database user:
If checked, a new database user will be
created. Otherwise, an existing
user will be used.
- User: A user name (login) of the database user used to access the database.
- Password: A user password to access the database.
Note! If you choose to create a
new database or database user, you will have
to provide the database administrator's login
and password.
Note! the database administrator's user name
and password are used only at the installation and
database creation time. This information is not stored in the
system.
- Login: the administrator's login to
be used for connection
to the database.
- Password: the administrator's password
to be used for
connection to the
database.
- MSSQL:
- DSN: a database connection string.
The string should
contain, at least, the
connection driver
parameters and the
server name. Optionally,
you can include the user
name, password or other
parameters.
Note! Sometimes you would need
to specify a user DSN name here (a connection must be created in advance).
For local servers (if the product is installed on the same server as the
database), this parameters has a value localhost;
- User: User name (login) of the database user used to access the database.
- Password: User password to access the database.
- Create
database: Check this option to create
a new database.
- Database name: type the name of the
database to which the system will be
installed.
Note! If you choose to create a
new database or database user, you will have
to provide the database administrator's login
and password.
Note! The database administrator's user name
and password are used only at the installation and
database creation time. This information is not stored in the
system.
- Login: the administrator's login to
be used for connection
to the database.
- Password: the administrator's password
to be used for
connection to the
database.
-
Additional parameters:
- Access permission for site files: Permissions that will be applied to
all newly created files. Access permissions should allow the web server to write to files. The default value is 0644.
- Access permission for site folders: Permissions that will be applied to the newly created folders. Access permissions should allow the web server to write to folders. The default value is 0755.
You can alter the database connection parameters manually by editing
the file /bitrix/php_interface/dbconn.php.
Installation step 6
Here the system creates the database.
This step does not require any user
interaction. The process of the database
creation is indicated by the progress bar.
When the database creation is completed,
the installation wizard will open the next
installation step form.
Installation step 7
(Configuration)
Here you can configure the site and create the site administrator account. This account
gives a user the exclusive access to the site management
functions and
allows to edit all the site settings. You can create
more users with less permissions later.
- Login: The site administrator
login to access the site Control
Panel. Login should contain at least 3
symbols which can be Roman letters and digits only.
- Password: The site administrator
password to access the site
Control Panel. Login should contain at least 6
symbols which can be Roman letters and digits
only.
- Confirm password: Type in the password again to ensure its correctness.
- E-Mail: The e-mail address of the site administrator.
- First
name: The first
name of the site administrator.
- Last name: The last name of the site administrator.
When the administrator account is
created, the system will start the Demo
Site Creation Wizard.
