HansR on support forum | [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=9016 HansR] on support forum has developed an multiplatform installer, see [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=18916 Multiplatform Installer for CumulusMX] which makes life a lot easier if you do not wish to dive into the (file) internals of CumulusMX. | ||
#Copy the InstallCMX.exe to any directory you want on the drive where you wish to install (or have installed). This directory must contain the Archive(s) to install. The install procedure gives you the possibility to select or define the Archive to install and the location where to install. | |||
#Copy the CumulusMX distribution zip(s) to that same directory if you have not already done so. You may have more than one distribution in the same directory. You can give the buildnumber to install as commandline argument. | |||
#Stop CumulusMX | |||
#Run InstallCMX and confirm / fill in on the console where you wish to install (or update) CMX. The default for Windows is C:\CumulusMX\ and for Linux it is : /home/CumulusMX. The Installation directory can be modified. | |||
#Start CumulusMX | |||
'''NOTE:''' On Windows you run the installer as any other commandline executable and it is best to open a command window in which you start the installer. On Linux you run it on the commandline as "mono ./InstallCMX.exe", the mono command can be omitted if mono is already active (e.g. if you run CumulusMX as a service and stop it, mono remains active). | |||
'''NOTE:''' In an existing installation with modified files, make sure those are in a safe place. If they have the same name as files in the distribution they will be overwritten. | |||
'''NOTE:''' Check for the webfiles directory if any modified files for your webfiles exist. If so, move those to the website. | |||
After the installation, there is a log file. Check the logfile to see everything has gone well. | |||
There is an ini file where you can control: | |||
NormalMessageToConsole=true or false (default) | |||
TraceInfoLevel=Warning (out of: Error, Warning, Info, Verbose, None) | |||
Any reactions (thank you, issues and questions) please post in the [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=18916 download thread of the installer]. | |||
Modifications and additions on user request can be discussed (e.g. think about automated start/stop, upload of webfiles to the directory etc....), use the talk for this page. | |||
