Enabling Windows Installer Logging

Step 1: Creating Windows NT User Accounts

Step 2: Creating the MCMS Database and Granting Rights

Step 3: Creating a Web Site for MCMS

Step 4: Installing MCMS 2002 Components

Step 5: Configuring the MCMS Database

Enabling Windows Installer Logging

It is recommended that you enable Windows Installer logging before you begin the MCMS installation process. The log file that Windows Installer creates will help you identify any installation issues and will also assist Product Support Services should you have any problems with the installation process.

If you have never run Windows Installer on your computer, you need to set up a key to enable Windows Installer logging. You must have local administrator rights to do this.

To set up a key to enable Windows Installer logging

  1. Click Start, and then click Run.

  2. In the Run dialog box, in the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.

  3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer.

  4. Right-click Installer, click New, and then click String Value.

  5. In the Registry Editor window, in the Name column, type Logging, and then press ENTER.

    A new value with the name Logging is created.

  6. Right-click Logging, and then click Modify.

  7. In the Edit String dialog box, in the Value data box, type voicewarmup, and then click OK.

  8. Close the Registry Editor window.

Note   This procedure enables Windows Installer logging for all applications that use Windows Installer. To minimize disk impact, it is recommended that you disable logging after you have installed the components.

To disable logging, delete the value Logging that you created.

After you complete the MCMS configuration steps, you can check for the log file in the temporary folder (either type CD %TEMP% from a command prompt, or point to Start, click Run, in the Open box, type %temp%, and then click OK). The installation log files have a name format such as MSIc57af.LOG. Find the installation log file that was created last and open it to view the contents of the file.

Step 1: Creating a Windows NT User Account

You need two valid Windows NT accounts on the local computer: the MCMS initial administrator and the MCMS system account.

You can use an existing Windows NT user account for the MCMS initial administrator; however, it is recommended you create a new account for the MCMS system account.

MCMS initial administrator

The MCMS administrator sets up and manages publishing in the MCMS environment. MCMS administrators have full privileges (including the right to create, edit, and approve pages) in all MCMS 2002 containers. This initial administrator is the first administrator created by the Database Configuration Application (DCA) when a database is created or upgraded. In the beginning, this is the only user who can log on to Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) 2002 through the MCMS 2002 Site Manager.

MCMS system account

The system account is used to access resources such as those in Microsoft Active Directory® and SQL Server 2000. This account acts as an agent on behalf of all MCMS users when the MCMS Content Server accesses a resource. The system account must have permission on all the resources that it needs to access, such as organizational units, domains, containers, groups, and users in MCMS.

When setting up an MCMS system account, note the following:

To create a MCMS system account

  1. On the desktop, click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Computer Management.

  2. In the Computer Management window, expand Local Users and Groups, right-click Users, and then click New User.

  3. In the New User dialog box, do the following:
    Use this To do this
    User name Type the name for the system account. This can be a local account. It does not have to be a domain account.
    Password Type the password.

  4. Click Create, and then click Close.

  5. If you want to create a new account for the MCMS initial administrator, repeat steps 2 and 3.

  6. Click File, and then click Exit.

Once you have created the required Windows user accounts, proceed to "Step 2: Granting Rights to the MCMS Database."

Step 2: Creating the MCMS Database and Granting Rights

After you have installed the prerequisite software, the first step in installing MCMS 2002 is to create a Microsoft SQL Server database and grant rights to it. The database is the Content Repository that MCMS uses to store content. MCMS creates the appropriate database schema and populates it with the required data during the installation process.

The MCMS Content Server uses the MCMS system account credentials to read and write data to the database.

To create a new database

  1. On the desktop, click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, and then click Enterprise Manager.

  2. In the Console Root window, expand the Console Root and navigate to the Databases folder.

  3. Right-click the Databases folder, and then click New Database.

  4. In the New Database dialog box, in the Name box, type a name for the database using the following conventions:
  5. Click OK.

  6. In the SQL Server Enterprise Manager window, click Console, and then either:

    Or

To grant MCMS system account rights to the database

  1. On the desktop, click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, and then click Enterprise Manager.

  2. In SQL Server Enterprise Manager, expand the Microsoft SQL Servers node, and then navigate to the server on which the MCMS database is located.

  3. Expand the Security node, right-click Logins, and click New Login.

  4. In the New Login dialog box, in the Name section, click Browse to locate the system account user you created in Step 1: Creating Windows User Accounts.

  5. In the List Names From section, select the local computer (or the domain) where you created the system account user.

  6. In the Names section, click the system account user and click Add, and then click OK.

  7. In the New Login dialog box, click OK.

  8. In the Logins pane, select the system account user who will have access to the database, right-click the user account, and then click Properties.

  9. In the SQL Server Login Properties dialog box, on the Database Access tab, in the Permit pane, select the check box beside the MCMS database that you created.

    A list of roles appears in the Permit in Database Role pane.

  10. In the Permit in Database Role pane, click db_ddladmin, db_datareader, and db_datawriter, and then click OK.

    Note   The db_ddladmin is only needed if you are using the import function in site deployment.

  11. Click Console, and then click Exit to exit SQL Server Enterprise Manager.

You have created a local database and have granted the MCMS system account rights to that database. Proceed to "Step 3: Creating a Web Site for MCMS."

Step 3: Creating a Web Site for MCMS

You need two Web sites for MCMS. You need one site for MCMS and another site to serve as the entry point for the MCMS Server Configuration Application (SCA).

When you install Internet Information Services (IIS) with the common files, Internet Information Services Snap-In, and World Wide Web Server components, a default Web site is created. If you delete the default Web site or if you choose to have MCMS run on another Web site then you must create that site before installing MCMS. It is recommended you create a separate Web site as the SCA entry point. See Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional Help for more information about creating Web sites using IIS.

Note   In Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional, you can only have one active Web site in IIS, so both the MCMS site and the SCA site will be the same.

To create a new Web site

  1. On the desktop, click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Computer Management.

  2. In Computer Management, expand Services and Applications, right-click Internet Information Services, point to New, and then click Web Site.

  3. In the Web Site Creation Wizard, on the Welcome page, click Next.

  4. On the Web Site Description page, in the Description box, type a description for the Web site (for example, SCA Entry Point).

  5. On the IP Address and Port Settings page, in the TCP port this Web site should use box, type a port, and then click Next. Do not select a port already used by the IIS Default Web Site or the IIS Administrator Web Site. (For more information on ports see the Windows Help.)

  6. On the Web Site Home Directory page, click Browse.

  7. In the Browse for Folder dialog box, select a path where you want the home directory to reside (for example local disk (C:)), and then click OK.

    Note   If this site is the entry point for the SCA, deselect the box Allow anonymous access to the Web site.

  8. On the Web Site Home Directory page, click Next.

  9. On the Web Site Access Permissions page, accept the defaults or select the additional permissions you want to set for the home directory, and then click Next. For more information on permissions, see the Windows documentation.

  10. On the completed page, click Finish.

Now you have created a Web site for MCMS. Proceed to "Step 4: Installing MCMS 2002 Components."

Step 4: Installing MCMS 2002 Components

This step explains how to install MCMS 2002 components on a single computer. The components installed are MCMS Content Server, the developer tools, MCMS Site Manager, and MCMS Site Stager.

To install the MCMS components

  1. Insert the Microsoft Content Management Server 2002 CD into the CD-ROM drive, and then double-click setup.exe.

  5. On the Custom Setup page, confirm that all the MCMS components are ready to be installed and then click Next.

    Note   Unless you plan to use Site Stager, you do not need to install it. Site Stager is a component of MCMS 2002 that produces static HTML or ASP copies of part or all of your Web site and enables you to host this content from another directory or server. Site Stager reduces browser traffic on your MCMS site by allowing you to host your site on platforms other than Windows 2000. Site Stager will not work with an ASP.NET-based MCMS site.

  6. On the Customer Information page, do the following:
    Use this To do this
    User Name Type the user name for your Administrator account.
    Organization Type the name of your company.

  7. Click Next.

  8. On the Disk Cache Folder page, in the Cache size box, type a different cache size if necessary. The default shown is used if you do not enter a different cache size. Click Next.

The DCA opens. Proceed to "Step 5: Configuring the MCMS Database."

Step 5: Configuring the MCMS Database

Note   It is recommended that you create the Web sites you will use for MCMS before starting this step (see Step 3: Creating a Web Site for MCMS).

To complete the MCMS installation and configure the MCMS database, use the Database Configuration Application (DCA). In this step, you specify the Web site for MCMS, a Web site for the SCA, select an MCMS system account and the initial site manager account, and finally select and populate your database.

The user running the DCA must have database owner (DBO) privileges on the database. However, if you are using SQL Server authentication then the SQL Server account you are using must have DBO privileges.

Note   If you select the Cancel option while the DCA is running, your Internet Information Services (IIS) services will be restarted, but you must then restart the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) service manually and re-run the DCA to complete the configuration.

To manually restart the FTP service

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. In the Run dialog box, in the Open box, type inetmgr to load the IIS Manager, and then click OK.

3. In the Internet Information Services window, expand the node with the name of the local computer, right-click the FTP service that was not restarted, and then click Start.

MCMS Site Manager Computer Software Requirements

The following is the list of minimum and recommended software requirements for MCMS Site Manager.

For information about how to install the software required for the MCMS Site Manager computer, see the previous table.

Configuring MCMS in a Multiple Computer Production Environment

You install MCMS 2002 on multiple computers in a production or testing environment. The steps must be completed in the order in which they are listed. Do the following before you install MCMS 2002.

For information about managing a site, including creating rights groups and managing user access, see "Managing Site Structure and Workflow" in MCMS 2002 Help.

This section contains:

Enabling Windows Installer Logging

Step 1: Creating Windows NT User Accounts

Step 2: Granting Rights to the MCMS Database

Step 3: Creating a Web Site for MCMS

Step 4: Installing Content Server

Step 5: Configuring the MCMS Database in a Multiple Computer Setup

Step 6: Installing Site Manager

Enabling Windows Installer Logging

It is recommended that you enable Windows Installer logging before you begin the MCMS installation process. The log file that Windows Installer creates will help you identify any installation issues and will also assist Product Support Services should you have any problems with the installation process.

After you complete the MCMS configuration steps, you can check for the log file in the temporary folder (either type CD %TEMP% from a command prompt, or point to Start, click Run, in the Open box, type %temp%, and then click OK). The installation log files have a name format such as MSIc57af.LOG. Find the installation log file that was created last and open it to view the contents of the file.

If you have never run Windows Installer on your computer, you need to set up a key to enable Windows Installer logging. You must have local administrator rights to do this.

To set up a key to enable Windows Installer logging

  1. Click Start, and then click Run.

  2. In the Run dialog box, in the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.

  3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer.

  4. Right-click Installer, click New, and then click String Value.

  5. In the Registry Editor window, in the Name column, type Logging, and then press ENTER.

    A new value with the name Logging is created.

  6. Right-click Logging, and then click Modify.

  7. In the Edit String dialog box, in the Value data box, type voicewarmup, and then click OK.

  8. Close the Registry Editor window.

Note   This procedure enables Windows Installer logging for all modules. To minimize disk impact, it is recommended that you disable logging after you have installed the components.

To disable logging, delete the value Logging that you created.

Step 1: Creating a Windows NT User Account

You need two valid Windows NT accounts on the local computer: the MCMS initial administrator and the MCMS system account.

You can use an existing Windows NT user account for the MCMS initial administrator; however, it is recommended you create a new account for the MCMS system account.

MCMS initial administrator

The MCMS administrator sets up and manages publishing in the MCMS environment. MCMS administrators have full privileges (including the right to create, edit, and approve pages) in all MCMS 2002 containers. This initial administrator is the first administrator created by the Database Configuration Application (DCA) when a database is created or upgraded. In the beginning, this is the only user who can log on to Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) 2002 through the MCMS 2002 Site Manager.

MCMS system account

The system account is used to access resources such as those in Microsoft Active Directory® and SQL Server 2000. This account acts as an agent on behalf of all MCMS users when the MCMS content server accesses a resource. The system account must have permission on all the resources it needs to access, such as organizational units, domains, containers, groups, and users in MCMS.

When setting up a system account, note the following:

To create a MCMS system account

  1. On the Windows NT domain controller computer, click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Computer Management.

  2. In the Computer Management window, expand Local Users and Groups, right-click Users, and then click New User.

  3. In the New User dialog box, do the following:
    Use this To do this
    User name Type the name for the system account. This can be a local account. It does not have to be a domain account.
    Password Type the password.

  4. Click Create, and then click Close.

  5. If you want to create a new account for the MCMS initial administrator, repeat steps 2 and 3.

  6. Click File, and then click Exit.

Once you have created the required Windows user accounts, proceed to "Step 2: Granting Rights to the MCMS Database."

Step 2: Granting Rights to the MCMS Database

After you have installed the prerequisite software, the first step in installing MCMS 2002 is to create a Microsoft SQL Server database and grant rights to it. The database is the Content Repository that MCMS uses to store content. MCMS creates the appropriate database schema and populates it with the required data during the installation process.

The MCMS Content Server uses the MCMS system account credentials to read and write data to the database.

Note   The db_ddladmin is only needed if you are using the import function in site deployment.

To grant the MCMS system account rights to the database

  1. On the MCMS Server computer, click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, and then click Enterprise Manager.

  2. In SQL Server Enterprise Manager, expand the Microsoft SQL Servers node, and then navigate to the server on which the MCMS database that you created in the development phase is located.

  3. Expand the Security node, and then click Logins.

  4. In the New Login dialog box, in the Name section, click Browse to locate the system account user you created in Step 1: Creating Windows User Accounts.

  5. In the List Names From section, select the domain where you created the system account user.

  6. In the Names section, click the system account user and click Add, and then click OK.

  7. In the New Login dialog box, click OK.

  8. In the Logins pane select the system account user who will have access to the database, right-click the user account, and then click Properties.

  9. In the SQL Server Login Properties dialog box, on the Database Access tab, in the Permit pane, select the check box beside the MCMS database that you created.

    A list of roles appears in the Permit in Database Role pane.

  10. In the Permit in Database Role pane, click db_datareader, db_datawriter, and db_ddladmin, and then click OK.

  11. Click Console, and then click Exit to exit SQL Server Enterprise Manager.

You have created the database that MCMS will use as the Content Repository and have granted the MCMS system account rights to that database. Proceed to "Step 3: Creating a Web Site for MCMS."

Step 3: Creating a Web Site for MCMS

You need two Web sites for MCMS. You need one site for MCMS and another site to serve as the entry point for the MCMS Server Configuration Application (SCA).

When you install Internet Information Services (IIS) with the common files, Internet Information Services Snap-In, and World Wide Web Server components, a default Web site is created. If you delete the default Web site or if you choose to have MCMS run on another Web site then you must create a site before installing MCMS. It is recommended you create a separate Web site as the SCA entry point.

Note   See Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional Help for more information about creating Web sites using Internet Information Services.

To create a new Web site

  1. On the desktop, click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Computer Management.

  2. In Computer Management, expand Services and Applications, right-click Internet Information Services, point to New, and then click Web Site.

  3. In the Web Site Creation Wizard, on the Welcome page, click Next.

  4. On the Web Site Description page, in the Description box, type a description for the Web site (for example, SCA Entry Point).

  5. On the IP Address and Port Settings page, in the TCP port this Web site should use box, type a port, and then click Next. Do not select a port already used by the IIS Default Web Site or the IIS Administrator Web Site. (For more information about ports, see the Windows Help.)

  6. On the Web Site Home Directory page, click Browse.

  7. In the Browse for Folder dialog box, select a path where you want the home directory to reside (for example local disk (C:)), and then click OK.

    Note   If this site is the entry point for the SCA, deselect the box Allow anonymous access to the Web site.

  8. On the Web Site Home Directory page, click Next.

  9. On the Web Site Access Permissions page, accept the defaults or select the additional permissions you want to set for the home directory, and then click Next. For more information on permissions, see the Windows documentation.

  10. On the completed page, click Finish.

You have now created a Web site for MCMS. Proceed to "Step 4: Installing Content Server."

Step 4: Installing Content Server

You install Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) Content Server on your public Web server and your authoring Web server. The Content Server is the MCMS processing engine that receives incoming page requests, and then dynamically assembles the corresponding Web pages from its components in the Content Repository (database) and the file system.

To contribute content through the MCMS Web Author, you need only the hardware and software required to support Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later.
