Before installing WebAsyst Server make sure your system satisfies following requirements:
1. PHP version 4.3.0 or higher
Necessary PHP extensions: domxml, gd
NOTE: Refer PHP manual for PHP extensions installation.
2. MySQL version 3.23.x or higher.
3. Any standard web-server with PHP support, e.g. IIS or Apache.
Copy all files included in the installation archive into any directory on your web-server available via HTTP (e.g. home/http/html/wbs). Then open install_wbs.php page in a standard browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Mozilla/Netscape). Exact address of install_wbs.php page depends on directory where you have copied archive files and settings of your browser. This address can look like in following sample:
http://www.yourcompany.com/wbs/install_wbs.php
If your server corresponds to all system requirements specified above the installation page will be opened. Otherwise you will see a page with information about missing components.
1. Click Install button. Installation script extracts WebAsyst files and Installation complete page opens to display WebAsyst Administrator.
2. In WebAsyst Administrator you must create at least one MySQL Server configuration record and one database for you to be able to login WebAsyst. Follow WebAsyst Administrator instructions.
Security level of your system will depend on how it is accessible via HTTP. For higher security it’s recommended to setup WebAsyst Server into directory which has no HTTP access and then create HTTP alias to wbs/published directory.
