ProClarity installation and configuration
Before installing PAS you must Install IIS7 and the roles services required for ProClarity, then install and configure ProClarity Analytics Server 6.3:
1. Open Server Manager, click Roles, then ‘Add Roles’
2. Check ‘Web Server (IIS)’ and click Next. Then, click Next again.
3. In addition to the defaults, ProClarity requires the following Role Services:
o ASP (which will also add ISAPI Extensions)
o Server Side Includes
o Security: Basic and Integrated (can be either or both)
o IIS6 Management Compatibility (all 4 sub services)
4. Install PAS 6.3 SP2, Install PAS 6.3 SP3
5. After the installation, ProClarity will not work correctly because the application pool identity is unable to read the IIS configuration file. To resolve this follow these steps:
o Navigate to %windir%\System32\inetsrv\config\
o Right click on ‘applicationHost.config’ and select properties
o On the Security tab, click Edit -> Add
o Select ‘Locations’, scroll to the top of the list, and select the computer <servername> and click ‘ok’
o Click the object name ‘Network Service’ and then click ok. This will default to ‘Read’, and ‘Read & Execute’ permissions, which is the required access level.
o Click ok -> yes -> ok. (Note: If another account is going to be used to run the application pool, follow these steps to grant required access to that account).
o Stop the following 3 services: ‘IISADMIN’, ‘WAS’, ‘W3SVC’ and then start all 3 (Hint: a good place to do this is from server manager > Roles > Web Server node)
6. At this point the ProClarity website is functioning however when libraries and books are created the web interface will loop between the library and book level. To fix this follow these steps (see also: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927947):
o Navigate to %root%\inetpub\wwwroot\PAS
o Right click on the ‘cache’ folder and select ‘Properties’
o Click the Security tab -> Continue -> Continue and notice the Network Service account already has the required NTFS permissions for this folder. If it did not, you would need to grand Read & Modify rights to the application pool identity account.
o Click ok -> Advanced -> Continue -> Continue and select ‘NETWORK SERVICE’ in the list so it is highlighted.
o Check ‘Replace all existing inheritable permissions on all descendants with inheritable permissions from this object’ and click ok -> Yes.
o If a non-administrator account other than ‘Network Service’ is running the worker process, follow these steps to grant the required access to that account.
Install WebDav (optional)
