Installing Dr.Web Server

 Top  Previous  Next

The installation of Dr.Web Server is the first step in the installation of Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite anti-virus. Unless and until it is successfully installed, no other Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite components can be installed.

Installation of full package of Dr.Web Server contains the following two steps:

1.Installation of general distribution kit. General distribution kit performs the installation of Dr.Web Server itself and includes anti-virus protection packages for stations under Windows OS only.

2.Installation of extra distribution kit. Extra distribution kit includes distributions of all enterprise products, which are provided for installation on protected stations under all supported OS. The package is installed as an additional on a computer with Dr.Web Server general distribution kit installed.

The installation procedure of Dr.Web Server depends on Server version (for Windows OS or for UNIX system-based OS).

All parameters set during the installation can be changed later by an anti-virus network administrator.

 

If the Server software is already installed on your computer, see the Upgrading Dr.Web Server for Windows® OS or Upgrading Dr.Web Server for UNIX® System-Based OS sections correspondingly.

If the previously installed Server was removed before installing the Server software, contents of the repository will be deleted during installation and the new version will be installed. If the repository of the previous version by some reason was not removed, it is necessary to manually delete the contents of the repository before installing the new version of the Server and then renew the repository after installation.

 

The language for the Server installation folder name must match to the language, specified in language settings of Windows OS for the non-Unicode programs. In opposite case, the Server will not be installed.

The english language is an exception for the installation folder name.

Together with Dr.Web Server, Dr.Web Security Control Center is installed, which serves to manage the anti-virus network and set up the Server.

By default, Dr.Web Server will run automatically after the installation under Windows OS and must be started manually under UNIX system-based OS.
