Interface and Dr.Web Server Management

Dr.Web Server has no interface. As a rule, Dr.Web Server can be managed via Dr.Web Security Control Center which acts as an interface for the Server.

Elements to facilitate adjusting and managing the Server are placed by the installation wizard in the Programs main Windows OS menu, the Dr.Web Server folder:

•The Server control folder in its turn contains the commands to start, restart and shut down the Server, as well as the commands to set up the logging parameters and other Server commands described in detail in the Appendices document, p. H3. Dr.Web Server.

•Web interface item opens Dr.Web Security Control Center and connects to the Server installed at this computer (at the http://localhost:9080).

•Documentation item opens administrator documentation in HTML format.

Dr.Web Server installation folder has the following structure:

•bin—Dr.Web Server executable files.

•etc—general configuration files of anti-virus network components.

•Installer—program to install the Anti-virus on a protected computer and the public encryption key file (drwcsd.pub).

•update–db—scripts necessary to update the structure of Server DB.

•var—contains the following subfolders:

▫es-dl-cache—customers’ personal installation packages during two weeks after their creation.

▫backup—backups of DB and other critical data.

▫extensions—scripts of user hooks meant to automate the performance of certain tasks.

▫repository—repository folder to store actual updates of virus bases, anti-virus packages files and anti-virus network components. It contains subfolders for the program components software which include subfolders for their versions depending on the OS. The folder should be accessible for writing to the user under which the Server is launched (the LocalSystem as a rule).

▫templates—a set of reports templates.

•webmin—Dr.Web Security Control Center elements: documents, icons, modules.

The content of the updates catalog \var\repository is automatically downloaded from the updates server through HTTP\HTTPS protocol according to the Server schedule, or the anti-virus network administrator can manually place the updates to the catalog.

Start and Stop Dr.Web Server

By default, Dr.Web Server automatically starts after installation and every time after restarting the operating system.

Also you can start or start, restart or stop Dr.Web Server by one of the following ways:

•General case:

▫Using the corresponding command, located in the Start → Programs → Dr.Web Server menu.

▫Via the services management tools in the Administrative Tools section at the Control Panel of Windows OS.

•Stop and restart via the Control Center:

In the Administration section, use buttons: to restart, to stop.

•Using the console commands run from the bin subfolder of the Server installation folder (see also the Appendices document, p. H4. Dr.Web Server):

▫drwcsd start—start the Server.

▫drwcsd restart—total restart of the Server service.

▫drwcsd stop—normal shutdown of the Server.

Please note, if you need the Server to read environment variables, the service must be rebooted via the services management tools or via the console command.
