Step 1: Database Backup

During the installation process there are changes applied to the DAM database. For this reason it is strongly recommended to back up the database for the DAM Center before proceding with running the instalaltion scripts in Step 3.

...

1. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
2. Expand "Databases" menu.
3. Right-click the name of you the DAM Center that Media Manager 5 will be connected to.
4. Click "Tasks".
5. In the new menu click "Back Up...". 
   
6. In the new window that pops up, choose "Add..."
7. Click "..." to access more options
8. Type the name of the back up file, adding ".bak" at the end.
9. Click "OK".
   
10. Confirm your selections by clicking "OK" in the two remaining windows.

Step 2: Preparation

To initialize the installation it is important to to do the following steps:

1. Copy the two provided archives into your server and unzip both of them into new folders:
   1. You will work with the folder named "MediaManager.DbUpgrade.(version)" in Step 3.
   2. You will work with the folder named "MediaManager.(version)" in Step 4.
2. Create a new folder with the name matching the DNS record for Media Manager 5 in the location that your IIS server has the access to. This location is usually the folder named "Webs" (usually C:/Webs is used, but it can also be located on a different drive).
   Alternative method of finding the relevant "Webs" folder is by using Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. In order to do that, you need to:
   1. unfold the menu with the server name
   2. unfold "Sites"
   3. right click on the name of one of the existing Digizuite products, for example your DAM center
   4. click "Explore"
      
3. The folder named "MediaManager.(version)" is your Digizuite™ Media Manager 5. After unpacking it, you need to place its contents into the folder created in the previous step.
4. Create a new folder with the same name as your DNS record in the folder "LogFiles". You will need to specify the path to the newly created folder in one of the following steps.

Step 3: Installation Scripts

3.1 Preparation of the configuration file

In the folder named "MediaManager.DbUpgrade" locate the configuration file named "MediaManager.DbUpgrade". Right-click it and select "Edit with Notepad++". This is what you will see:

...

Example of a valid configuration:

3.2 Running the installation script

Once the config file is set up correctly, the next step is to simply run the executable file with the same name as the configuration file that you have filled in in the previous step, as demonstrated on the screenshot:

...

Dependent on the size of you database, it might take anywhere from under 60 seconds to several minutes to for the installation process to finish.

Step 4: Website Configuration for Media Manager 5

Before the Media Manager 5 can be used, it needs to have some base configuration set, such as which DAM Center it should use. This configuration can be found in the "web.config" file. This file was part of the content that you have copied into the folder containing Digizuite™ Media Manager during the preparations.

...

Example of a valid configuration:

Step 5: Creation of a New IIS Website

To add a new website on Windows Server, open the "Server Manager" console. Then, under the "Tools" drop-down menu, select "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager".

...

Once the site has been created, go into the bindings for the site in the IIS and create http site on the same domain.

Step 6: Application Pool Setup

1. Expand the server content from the IIS Manager window and select the "Application Pools" menu.
2. Locate the pool with the same name as your website and double-click it.
3. The "Edit Application Pool" window will appear. Confirm that the selected .Net CLR version is 4+.
4. Close "Edit Application Pool" and open the "Advanced Settings".
5. Under "Process Model" change the Identity to "LocalService".
