Installation
If a previous version of SurfStatsLive exists on the computer, it is recommended to uninstall it
first as described later in this guide.
After you have read the Before Installation section run the SurfStatsLive Setup application and
choose the defaults as far as possible.
Please note that you have to log out of the server and log in as the user that you would want
the SurfStatsLiveComPlus package to run under, before installing SurfStatsLive. The
SurfStatsLiveComPlus package is responsible for report generation and is configured after
installation from the Windows 2000 Component Services tool (refer to Important After
Installation Issues).
At the end of the installation the SurfStatsLive Global Setup Application will start up. Click the
Authentication tab (selected by default), if you want to authenticate Server Administrators
locally specify WinNT://<ComputerName> as User Authentication Provider. It would come up
with the right computer name of the computer by default. For Windows 2000 Domain
Authentication specify LDAP://RootDSE for the User Authentication Provider. For the Server
Administrators Group type the name of the chosen group (as decided in Before Installation).
The default is Administrators (assuming local authentication). You would probably need to
change this, especially for authentication by a domain. These two fields are case-sensitive. If
SurfStatsLive is chosen as authentication method the server administration username and
password needs to be specified, the Server Administrator Group field will become disabled
when this method of authentication is specified.
In the Global Setup application click Forward or the Web Server tab. Depending on your choice
either create a new Virtual Web Server or use an existing Virtual Web Server with a newly
created Virtual Directory. Make a note of the URL and other details in the information dialog
box that comes up as this will be used later in the sections Quick Server Administration and
Quick Profile Administration. If you do not configure the web server (from the Web Server
tab), the Global Setup application will not be able to set the SurfStatsLive item, which is
accessible from the SurfStatsLive program group (Start – Programs – SurfStatsLive) after
installation.
Click the Information tab. Here you can specify information about yourself, the provider of the
SurfStatsLive Service, the default image URL that will be displayed and the global option of
displaying tips when a user logs into the SurfStatsLive service.
Click the Done button.
Note that the Global Setup application can also be run later from the SurfStatsLive program
group on the server.
Please proceed to the section Important After Installation Issues and then Quick Server
Administration.
A troubleshooting section is available on the SurfStats website.
