This guide provides detail description with images of VMukti Server installation

process. This guide includes all steps of VMukti sever installation with all steps of

all prerequisites installation. So if a user has some prerequisites installed already,

skip those steps and look for required prerequisites and VMukti server installation

process’s own steps.







VMukti Server installation has three prerequisites

 .NET Framework 3.5, Microsoft

 SQL Server 2005

 IIS 6.0 or higher version



So if any of these prerequisites is not present on your system, VMukti server

installation would ask you to install that particular prerequisite during its

installation. If none of these prerequisites installed, VMukti Server installation

would ask you to install all prerequisites one by one. You don’t have to worry

about locating the prerequisites, VMukti Server installer automatically redirect to

resource locations of prerequisites or guides for finding/installing prerequisites

during the installation. If your pc has some prerequisites installed already then the

installer skips automatically to those and asks for other which is not present on the

system.

Before using it, please read carefully the usage scenarios.



VMukti usage scenario:

Scenario-1: If VMuktiBootstrap service is started then Server can’t function as a

client



- Do not browse VMukti URL on server PC



- If server pc is on a live IP, then clients can access the VMukti server from anywhere

across the globe. And if server pc belongs to a LAN, then clients can access the

VMukti server under the same LAN only.



- Browse VMukti from other PCs (client’s PCs) with URL: http:///vmukti,

where ServerIP is IP of the server where VMukti server is installed snd now start

participating in collaborative conference.



You can follow user guide for getting detail information about how to use VMukti

widgets (modules).



Scenario-2: If you want to browse the VMukti URL on VMukti Server (i.e. to

function as a client)



- Stop the "VMuktiBootstrap" service (Start > Administrative Tools > Services >

VMuktiBootstrap).



- You must browse VMukti URL on server PC, if do not browse then other

clients won’t be able to browse the http:///vmukti and can’t

communicate with each other.



- If server pc is on a live IP, then clients can access the VMukti server from anywhere

across the globe. And if server pc belongs to a LAN, then clients can access the

VMukti server under the same LAN only.
