- To install the AnthillPro server:   + <pre>Perform the normal install as outlined in documentation</pre>  
       
       
    + * '''Install as Windows service''' (optional)  
    + :* Type Y to install as Windows service.  
    + ::* Enter the unique service name and hit '''ENTER'''. ''(Default is ah3server)''  
    + ::* Enter the user account for the service and hit '''ENTER'''. ''(Default is LOCALSYSTEM)''  
    + * Note that when installing as a service, ''AnthillPro only captures the value for the PATH variable''. The values captured at installation will always be used, even if you later make changes.  
       
- Download the anthill3-<version>.zip file.   + === Manual Service Installation ===  
       
       
- Expand the zip file using a tool like WinZip. Expanding will create an anthill3-install directory.      
       
       
- Open the anthill3-install directory created in the previous step in Windows.      
       
       
- If you are using a database other than Apache Derby, copy the JDBC driver file(s) into the anthill3-install\lib\ext directory. See Database Requirements.      
       
       
- Run the install script install-server.bat.      
       
       
- Provide the following information:      
       
       
- Directory where the AnthillPro server should be installed. For example: C:\Program Files\anthill3\server. If the directory does not already exist, enter Y to have the installer create the directory. Default is Y.      
       
       
- Home directory of the JRE/JDK used to run the server. For example: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07.      
       
       
- Port used to communicate with the agent(s). Recommended default value is 7915.      
       
       
- Port on which AnthillPro server should listen for remoting or distributed servers. Default is 4567.      
       
       
- IP address that the server web UI should listen on. We suggest leaving this blank so that AnthillPro listens on all available IP addresses.      
       
       
- Secured connections using SSL. If using a secured connection for all web UI communication, enter Y.      
- When using SSL, you need to turn it on for both the server and the agent -- otherwise the agents will not be able to connect to the server. If you are using the agent relay, ensure that SSL is turned on for all three components: server, agent, and agent relay. This rule also applies if using mutual authentication.      
       
       
- If using a caching proxy, see Caching and SSL before continuing. Under certain conditions, using HTTPS may effect server performance.      
       
       
- If using a secured connection for HTTP requests, give the port the AnthillPro sever should listen on. Recommended default is 8443.      
       
       
- Unsecured HTTP port for the Web UI. This will be used to redirect unsecured requests to the secured HTTPS port when using HTTPS for the Web UI. Default is 8080.      
       
       
- HTTP port for the Web UI (if not using SSL). Default is 8080.      
       
       
- Database type (if other than the embedded Derby database). See Database Requirements.      
       
       
- Database user name. Default is anthill3.      
       
       
- Database password. Default is password.      
       
       
- Install as Windows service (optional). Type Y to install as Windows service. Type N to finish installation process. Note that when installing as a service, AnthillPro only captures the value for the PATH variable. The values captured at installation will always be used, even if you later make changes.      
- For newer versions of Windows, you will need to execute an Administrator Command Prompt to install as a Windows Service. This can be done by right clicking cmd.exe and selecting "Run As Administrator."      
       
       
       
- To automatically install the AnthillPro server as a Windows service, enter:      
       
       
- Service name and click OK. Default is ah3server. (A unique name is required for each instance.)      
       
       
- Login for the installed server and click OK. Default is .\localsystem.      
       
       
- Yes to automatically start ah3server service.      
       
- To manually install the AnthillPro server as a Windows service (optional):
