Installation of the Concordance FYI Server is fairly simple. You can typically install and publish your Concordance databases in less than 30 minutes.
Installing FYI Server consists of four components:
•FYI Server
•FYI Administration Console Server
•FYI Admin Console
•Sample Database
|
Make sure that you regularly back up your server data. Do not install the FYI Server unless the server data has been backed up. |
Before installing FYI Server, be sure to review the Preparing for FYI topic for preliminary planning, including best practices for planning and server setup, and review the FYI Server Installation Checklist in this topic.
|
If you are installing the latest version of FYI Server and have FYI Server 5.02 or earlier installed, you must uninstall the older version before proceeding with the installation to ensure that the application files are accessible to FYI Server. For more information about uninstalling FYI Server, see Uninstalling FYI Server. The default install directory for the application data files is C:\ProgramData\CloudNine\FYI Server 5. |
If you want to upgrade an earlier version of FYI Server, review the Updating considerations topic for preliminary planning, and see the Upgrading FYI Server topic for upgrade information and instructions.
|
To control the server from remote locations, you can install the FYI Admin Console on your workstation or laptop after the FYI Server installation is complete. For more information about remote administration, see Setting up remote administration. |
After installing the FYI Server, you can modify administration settings and register and publish Concordance databases in the FYI Admin Console. You can then distribute the .fiy file to users who need remote access to Concordance and the specified URL to FYI Reviewer users.
For more information about FYI Reviewer and Concordance .FYI, see the About supporting FYI Reviewer and Concordance topic and other topics in the Supporting FYI Reviewer and Concordance module.
|
When authenticating users against an Active Directory server in a domain other than where FYI Sever is located, make sure that the FYI Server is running on Windows Server 2016. See, Setting authentication types. |
