Quick Install Sheet (If you have installed AppTracker before) Assumptions SQL Server 2008 is installed and configured IIS 7 is installed and configured for Silverlight.Net Framework 4 present SQL 1. Create a new database called AppTracker 2. Run the AppTracker Database creation script against the new AppTracker database 3. Take note of the new instance name e.g. HOSTPC\SQLSVR1 IIS 1. Create the directory C:\inetpub\wwwroot\AppTracker 2. Copy all the files from AppTracker install zip to this location. 3. In IIS convert the AppTracker folder to an application (via right menu) 4. Take note of the new AppTracker url. E.g. http://servername/apptracker/ Configuration 1. Update the web.config on the root of the AppTracker folder. Find the references to the database location and change them to point to the AppTracker database with a user name and password. The two entries will look like the below. a. <add name="applicationservices" connectionstring="data Source=SERVERNAME\SQ LEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=AppTracker_Membership_CS;User ID=sa;Password=Passwo rd1" providername="system.data.sqlclient" /> b. <add name="mitatrack_connectionstring" connectionstring="data Source=SERVER NAME\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=AppTracker_Data_CS;Persist Security Info=True;U ser ID=sa;Password=Password1" providername="system.data.sqlclient" /> 2. Launch AppTracker, log in as Admin (default Password!) 3. Go to the Admin Tab -> Initial Setup a. Configure the Site Address b. Set the upload folder location 2 P a g e

Creating the AppTracker Database 1. If you do not have an SQL Server AppTracker can run of SQL Express, see the section Installing SQL Express for more information. 2. Log into your SQL Server instance a. If you have created an SQL Express instance from the instructions provide in this document then your username will be sa and your password will be Password! 3. Create a new database called AppTracker. a. Expand the Databases Folder b. Right Click on the Databases Folder and select New Database c. Enter AppTracker, leave everything else at default and click OK Note: It s important that your database be called AppTracker as the SQL Script in the next steps expects a database called AppTracker to be present. It s possible to call the database another name but remember to do a find & replace on the script 4. There are two SQL scripts provided with this installation. a. Create_Default_AppTracker_Database.sql i. This is an empty project with a default template applied, i.e. Processes / Discovery Forms / UAT Forms etc. b. Create_Demo_AppTracker_Database.sql i. This has the default template from above but it also has 100 Applications, 250 Users, dummy accounts and 6 months of project history 5. From SQL Management Studio a. File -> Open -> File : Select the script you are to run b. From the Tool Bar select Execute (the red!) 5 P a g e

Installing AppTracker 1. Create a folder called AppTracker in the IIS wwwroot folder. a. i.e. C:\inetpub\wwwroot\AppTracker 2. Extract the files from the AppTracker_Install.zip into a temporary folder a. Copy all the files from the temp folder in the AppTracker IIS folder above 3. Create a folder to hold files uploaded to AppTracker a. E.g. C:\AppTracker\Uploads 4. Give the IIS_IUSER account Modify rights to the AppTracker IIS folder and the Uploads folder 5. Edit the web.config file in the AppTracker folder to point at the SQL Server instance a. The web.config folder is located in the root of AppTracker. i.e. C:\inetpub\wwwroot\AppTracker b. Edit the file in note pad c. Find the ConnectionStrings section and set: d. Initial Catalog = AppTracker (name of the database you created) e. Data Source = [ServerName] (name of the SQL Instance to connect to) f. User ID = sa (SQL User account to use, if you create another account make sure it s a dbowner) g. Password = Password! (or whatever password you setup in SQL) EXAMPLE: <connectionstrings> <clear /> <add connectionstring=" Initial Catalog=AppTracker; Data Source=WINSERVER01; User ID=sa; Password=Password!" providername="system.data.sqlclient" name="mitatrack_connectionstring" /> <add connectionstring=" Initial Catalog=AppTracker; Data Source= WINSERVER01; User ID=sa; Password=Password!" providername="system.data.sqlclient" name="applicationservices" /> </connectionstrings> 6. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager a. Expand the tree on the left out to show the AppTracker site under the Default Web Site b. Right Click on the AppTracker folder and select Convert to Application c. Confirm that AppTracker is Application Pool is the Default Application Pool and that the Default Application Pool is running.net 4.0 6 P a g e
