11.2 Windows: Installing and Setting Up a Basic Vibe Site

Log in to the Windows server as a user with Administrator rights.

In Windows Explorer, browse to the directory where you downloaded and extracted the Vibe software.

Ensure that there is a license-key.xml file in the directory.

The Vibe installation program does not start without a license file, and it has a different name when you download it.

For more information about licensing, see Section 13.0, Updating Your Vibe License.

Double-click the installer-teaming.exe file to start the Vibe installation program.

Accept the License Agreement, then click Next.

Click Next to accept the default of New installation.

Click Next to accept the default of Basic.

Use the information that you have gathered on the Single-server Installation Planning Worksheet to provide the information that the Vibe installation program prompts you for:

• Installation Locations
• Default Locale for OpenText Vibe
• Network Information
• WebDAV Authentication Method
• Database Selection
•      Database Type
•      JDBC URL
•      Credentials
•      Setup
•      Encryption Algorithm
• Outbound Email Configuration
•      Protocol
•      Host, Port, and Time Zone
•      User Name, Password, and Authentication
•      Allow Sending Email to All Users
• Inbound Email Configuration
• Adding File Types for HTML Conversions

The installation program stores the information that it gathers in the installer.xml file in the same directory where you started the installation program.

After you have provided all the requested information, click Install to begin the Vibe installation.

When the installation is complete, click Finish to exit the Vibe installation program.

Information about the installation process is written to the installer.log file in the same directory where you ran the Installation program. If a problem arises during the installation, the installer.log file provides information that can help you resolve the problem.

Continue with Creating the Vibe Database.

If you haven’t done so already, install the database on the Vibe server.

For single-server installations running on Windows, install either the MySQL/MariaDB, Postgresql, or Microsoft SQL database. (For information about how to install the PostgreSQL, MySQL or MariaDB database on the Vibe server (on Windows), see PostgreSQL on Windows and MySQL or MariaDB on Windows).

For more information about installing the database for a multi-server Vibe system, see Section 19.0, Creating the Vibe Database on a Separate Server.

Open a command prompt window, then change to the following directory in your Vibe installation-source location:

vibe_installation_source\temp-installer\db\scripts\sql

This directory contains the following scripts for each database type (MySQL/MariaDB, Microsoft SQL, and Oracle):

(Optional) If you need to change the default database name from sitescape to something else, edit the .sql file for your database type to replace sitescape with the new name.

Open a command terminal, then use the database utility command for your database type to run the corresponding script for your database from the vibe_installation_source/temp-installer/db/scripts/sql directory:

sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL>spool update-oracle.out;
SQL>@oracle-create-empty-database
SQL>quit;

Change to the db directory in the Vibe installation:

vibe_installation_source\temp-installer\db

This directory contains the following properties files:

In a text editor, open the properties file that corresponds with your database type and make the applicable changes in both the Driver and referenceDriver sections. Save and close the text editor when you are finished making changes.

In the same directory, execute the following commands to create the database schema:

manage-database.bat database_type updateDatabase

For example, if you are using a Microsoft SQL database:

manage-database.bat sqlserver updateDatabase

Start the Vibe server as described in Running Vibe as a Windows Service and Running Vibe as a Windows Application.

For security reasons, delete the password that you specified in Step 7:
