AuthAnvil Installation Checklist

Below is a list of the pre-requisites for successfully installing AuthAnvil on either Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008. It is highly recommended that these are all met before you being an AuthAnvil installation.

Requirements

  1. You must have the ability to logon as a user with administrator privileges. If you plan to install into a domain environment, this user MUST be a domain administrator. 
  2. You must ensure Microsoft's .NET Framework 2.0 is installed and that the ASP.NET extensions are enabled in IIS.

    Windows Server 2008
    • Open Server Manager
    • Under Roles check that Application Server is enabled.
    • Under Application Server ensure that .NET is enabled.
      NOTE: If the above was done just now it will install the needed .NET 2.0 AND register it with IIS.
    • Look at your Application Pools and you should see a listing "Classic .NET AppPool" and the version will be 2.0
    Windows Server 2003
    • Open Add\Remove Programs and confirm that .NET 2.0 Framework  Service Pack 1 is listed.
    • Open IIS Manager (Start > Administrator Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager)
    • Click the [+] Beside your server name and click on the Web Service Extensions folder.
    • Look for ASP.NET v2.0.50727 and it's status should be 'Allowed'.
    • If not installed download the installer from the appropriate URL below:
            32-bit OS: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=79bc3b77-e02c-4ad3-aacf-a7633f706ba5&DisplayLang=en
            64-bit OS: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=029196ED-04EB-471E-8A99-3C61D19A4C5A&displaylang=en
    • Launch the installer while logged on as an account with administrator rights.
    • After completing the installation open IIS Manager and expand the Web Service Extensions folder.
    • Look for ASP.NET v2.0.50727 and it's status should be 'Allowed'.

      In the instance that .NET Framework v2.0 has been installed but the extensions are NOT listed in IIS Manager you will need to register .NET with IIS. The steps below go through this process:
      • Open a Command prompt (Start > Run - Type cmd and click OK)
      • Copy the following to the clipboard: %SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i -enable
      • On the command window Right click and select Paste.
      • Press Enter
  3. You must activate your AuthAnvil subscription and set your subscription password.

    Log into the Scorpion Software Customer Portal at https://customer.scorpionsoft.com/subscriptionsettings.aspx and either add your company's credit card information to your account or enable the option "I will arrange credit terms with Scorpion Software." Once done, enter and confirm your subscription password. Please note this password as it will be used later during your installation of AuthAnvil.
  4. You must ensure that SQL Server is installed and able to be accessed by the server where AuthAnvil is being installed.

    Open Add\Remove programs and confirm that either Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or Microsoft SQL Server 2008 are listed.

    If needed you can download it from either of the following URLs:
          SQL Express 2005: http://www.microsoft.com/Sqlserver/2005/en/us/express.aspx
          SQL Express 2008: http://www.microsoft.com/express/sql/register/

  5. You must ensure that SQL Management Studio is installed on the server where AuthAnvil is going to be installed.

    Open Add\Remove programs and confirm that either Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express or Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Standard is listed.

    Note: If you are using SQL Server 2008 then Management Studio has already been installed. If you're deploying AuthAnvil on a different server than the SQL Server 2008 instance then you will need to run the SQL Server 2008 installation on the destination server as well selecting the option to only install the tools during the setup. Please contact Scorpion Software if you need assistance with this.

  6. You must ensure that the SQL Server 2008 Management tools has been installed.

    Even if you are installing to SQL Server 2005, you must install the SQL Server 2008 Management tools, as they contain software used to administer your AuthAnvil database. You must download and install them in the following order to the the server where AuthAnvil will be installed:

    • Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types
    • Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Management Objects 
    • Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Native Client
