8 Introduction The FIREHOUSE Software Web Installation Guide is designed to help you install FH Web, or to update your current FH Web installation to the newest version. FH Web is a version of FH Enterprise that can be installed on a workstation with Internet access, and client computers can connect to this server and run FH Enterprise in a web browser, instead of requiring the FH Enterprise client software to be installed on individual client computers. This feature is particularly useful for accessing FH from home or from a mobile computer, such as a Toughbook in the fire truck. FH Enterprise is a fire department records management software package that maintains a SQL database of information on a server where client computers can access it. Note: The free evaluation version of FH Web, which is a functional installation with all available modules, expires 90 days after installation. However, you can not export state information in evaluation mode. Before installing FH Web, visit for access to FH Web support bulletins. Because of the number of customization capabilities in FH Web, you may want to contact FH technical support and schedule an installation with a technician's assistance. Additional information on FH Web is available in the (FIREHOUSE Software Web Edition Administrator's Guide), which can be downloaded from or accessed as online help in the FH Web Administrator's Guide. FH technical support staff is available to answer your questions by telephone or . Technical support hours are from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. Central time, Monday through Friday, and from 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. on Saturday. Call , option 2. You can also send an to support@firehousesoftware.com. FH Web Installation Guide 1

9 The servers and the client computer relationship You will need at least three separate computers for a basic installation of FH Web. A FH Web server, which runs the installation of FH Web, FH Web Connection Manager, and web services, A SQL server that maintains the FH Web data in a SQL database and communicates with the FH Web server. One or more client workstations, which communicate with the FH Web server. A client workstation only needs an Internet web browser to access and run FH Web. The FH Web Connection Manager controls client access to the FH Web server. Caution: SQL Server should be run on a different computer than the FH Web Server. Users on client computers view the normal FH interface through a web browser, and their computers send and receive FH data on the SQL server through the FH Web server. The servers should be fast computers that can be assigned a unique address. The SQL database server should not be a computer that is also used as a file server. Ideally, it should be dedicated to hosting the database engine and the FH database. If necessary, the server can also host other SQL databases. 2 FH Web Installation Guide

10 If you need to add additional FH Web servers to support the number of client computers accessing the FH data, you also need to add an additional server to act as a relay server/load balancer. This relay server accepts incoming client connections and directs them to the FH Web server that currently has the lightest processing load. WARNING: Do not cache in the FH Web configuration. More information on load balancing an FH Web installation is available in the FIREHOUSE Software Web Edition Administrator's Guide, which can be downloaded from or accessed as online help in the FH Web Administrator's Guide. FH Web Installation Guide 3

11 FH Web server system requirements Note: When you are planning to use FHnet with FH Web, the FHnet client component runs on the same server as FH Web. As a result, the system requirements for the FH Web server in this configuration are different than those for use with FH. Information the system requirements for running FHnet and FH Web on the same server is available at under FHnet Hardware Planning Guide FH Web large installation hardware requirements. When you are planning to use FH with FH Web, the FH Web server requires one of the following Windows operating systems: Windows Server 2008 Standard or Enterprise with Service Pack 2 (32-bit and 64-bit) Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard or Enterprise (64-bit) WARNING: Computers upgraded from 32-bit systems to 64-bit systems have demonstrated problems and are not recommended. The server must have TCP/IP installed as a network protocol. The server must have an open port (by default, ports 80 and 491 are used). Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 6.0 or later is required. The FH Web server (or the FH Web load balancing server) must have Web services installed and active. You must have unique Windows logons with modify rights to the FH program directory (by default, C:\FIREHOUSE Software) for each user accessing FH Web. Note: Where applicable, these operating systems are supported with or without the Security Rollup Package. FH Web includes support for WoW64 (Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit), which allows 32-bit applications to run on 64-bit versions of Windows. FH Web supports VMware ESXi and Hyper-V in Windows Server 2008 R2. The FH Web server requires the following hardware. Component Minimum Recommended RAM 512 MB, plus 10 MB of RAM for each FH Web client computer 1 GB or more Hard disk space 80 GB of free disk space on C:\ More than 80 GB Your hardware requirements may be higher than listed above, based on the number of concurrent users, other applications running on the server, server configuration, and network configuration. All requirements are subject to change. The faster your server is, the better system-wide response will be. In general, a FH Web server can support 12 heavy users/500 MHz CPU and 25 light users/500 MHz CPU. ( Heavy is defined as a user running one or more large applications with 4 FH Web Installation Guide

12 continuous user interaction. Light is defined as a user running one application with intermittent user interaction.) The color depth of the server should be greater than 256 colors; 16 million colors is recommended. If you add a relay server for load balancing to your FH Web installation, the relay server must have Web services installed and active. SQL server system requirements The SQL server hosting the FH database used with FH Web is supported on the following operating systems: Windows 7 Windows 8 Windows Server 2008 Windows Server 2008 R2 Note: Extended support for environments and products that have reached Microsoft's end of mainstream support is available if you subscribe to either FIREHOUSE Software's Gold or Platinum support program. Information on the FH Support Programs is available at For networking, Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0 is required. For a Web browser, use Microsoft Internet Explorer 10.0 or later. To manage your FH database, use Microsoft SQL Server The hardware requirements for the server depend on the SQL software package you install to manage your FH Enterprise database. Hardware requirements for SQL Server are available from Microsoft at or from your local Microsoft reseller. Your actual hardware requirements may be higher, based on the number of concurrent users or other applications running on the server, server configuration, and network configuration. Tip: To qualify for U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) pricing, be sure to specify that you are a government entity when purchasing your SQL software package. You may save money by purchasing hardware and software as part of a package. Note: If you use FH to collect data from multiple departments, such as collecting state NFIRS transaction files or county EMS incident reports from area agencies, you should exceed the recommended hardware requirements if possible. Tip: Use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with your server in case of power failure. FH Web Installation Guide 5

13 Client system requirements FH Web supports the following browsers on client computers. Internet Explorer 10.0 or later Note: FH Web Edition is supported on Internet Explorer 11.0 in compatibility mode. Mozilla Firefox 24 Extended Support Release (ESR) or later, on Windows and Linux Note: Only the Windows clients and the Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers are fully supported. FIREHOUSE Software technical support will provide best-effort support for the other clients. FH Web Edition is not supported on Google Chrome. Client computers access FH Web from a Web browser that supports one of the following clients. Note: The Mozilla Firefox client is available to Windows client computers. The Microsoft ActiveX client is available to Windows client computers running Internet Explorer. WARNING: To successfully install this ActiveX plug-in, the user at the client computer must modify rights to C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\. By default, only Power Users and Administrators have this permission. The Windows client is a 32-bit Windows application that can be manually installed and run on most Windows client computers. TCP/IP must be installed as a network protocol. The color depth of the client must be greater than 25; 16 million or greater is recommended. Tip: Use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with client computers in case of power failure. 6 FH Web Installation Guide

14 Checklist for installing FH Web Caution: Below is a high-level checklist of the steps you need to install FH Web for the first time. Detailed information for the steps below are available in the following pages of the FIREHOUSE Software Web Installation Guide. Tip: Print this page off and check off the items below as you accomplish them. (If you purchased your copy of FH Web) Verify that you received an from FIREHOUSE Software technical support, containing download links and a PDF file listing your serial number and an activation code Verify that you have adequate hardware to support FH Web and your chosen version of MS SQL Server. Request temporary and permanent license files for FH Web. Install FH Enterprise on the FH Web server and SQL server as described in the FIREHOUSE Software Enterprise Installation Guide. Install the FH Web application on the FH Web server. (Windows Server 2008) Determine the OS bit level on your FH Web server. Download files needed for the installation. Install the FH Web components. Set Index.html as default document. (Safari or Firefox) Set MIME types. Place the temporary license in the FH Web installation directory. Disable automatic Windows updates on the FH Web server. Configure the FH Web server. Map the FH Web icon so that it launches FH Enterprise. Set up printers and check security. Configure FH Web components. Access FH Web from a client computer. (When it arrives) Replace the temporary license file with the permanent license file. FH Web Installation Guide 7

15 Request temporary and permanent license files FH Web requires a license file to run. You can use a temporary license file to run FH Web while waiting for a permanent license file to be generated and sent to you. Note: If you plan to have multiple FH Web servers in your configuration, you need to do the steps below on each FH Web server, and obtain a separate permanent license file for each server. The same temporary license can be used on all the FH Web servers. WARNING: The FH Web license is machine-specific and is based on the server's host name, which must not exceed 15 characters. If you move FH Web to another server, the license file will not work. 1. Log on to the FH Web server as an administrator. 2. Verify that the host name of the FH Web server is fewer than 15 characters. 3. Choose Start Run. The Run dialog box appears. 4. In Open, type cmd, and then click OK. A DOS command window appears. 8 FH Web Installation Guide

16 5. At the prompt, type: ipconfig /all > C:\host.txt The host.txt is created on the C: drive, containing the server host information. 6. Close the DOS window. 7. Create an to and include the following text in the body of the . New Install <Your department's name> <a contact address> Please send the current temporary FH Web license and create a permanent FH Web license based on the attached 'Host.txt' file. Example: New Install Johnsville Fire Department ChiefJohn@JohnsvilleFD.com Please send the current temporary FH Web license and create a permanent FH Web license based on the attached 'Host.txt' file. 8. Attach the host.txt file to the Send the . You will receive a reply with the temporary license file, and then you will later receive a second with the permanent license file. Caution: Save the first for use after installing FH Web. The directory you need to save the license file into does not exist yet. FH Web Installation Guide 9

17 Install FH Enterprise Because FH Web is a version of FH Enterprise, you must first install FH Enterprise, and then add the FH Web components for client computers to access FH Enterprise through an Internet browser. In a normal FH Enterprise installation, you install the FH Enterprise client on each computer that will access the SQL database server. In FH Web, you install the FH Enterprise client on the FH Web server in your configuration, and client computers access the FH Web server, which in turn accesses the SQL database server. Caution: In FH Web, you do not install the FH Enterprise client on the individual client computers. An FH Enterprise installation An FH Web installation 1. Download the FIREHOUSE Software Enterprise Installation Guide from or access it at under FH Installation, Update, Upsizing, and Administration Guides FH Enterprise Installing FH Enterprise. 2. Follow the instructions in the FIREHOUSE Software Enterprise Installation Guide to install and configure FH Enterprise on the FH Web and SQL database servers.
