The Digizuie Digizuite DAM Center is installed/Upgraded using Powershell. The package, provided by the Digizuite DAM Vendor, is a zip file with the following structure:
...
To install a new Digizuite DAM Center with UNC storage, the important parameters are the following
Important note: The installation script is NOT idempotent, which means if it is run again it will not validate and correct changes to reflect the config that was used in the installation process.
Issues arising from this could be that for example services and webs folder have been created on the C: drive instead of a dedicated drive.
The only way of correcting these issues are to completely remove everything that the installation script created in this order (some services might need to be deleted by manually killing processes for that service):
- Rabbitmq (service, services folder, references in registry)
Erlang (service, services folder, references in registry)
Nats (service, services folder)
Grafana (service, services folder)
Loki (service, services folder)
Promtail (service, services folder)
Windows exporter (service, services folder)
nssm (service, services folder)
delete DAM database via SQL management studio
- delete SQL security login : "admin_<customername>_dam"
- Delete all IIS sites and App pools in IIS and restart IIS
- check that all these services have been removed (to delete each: use sc delete "<servicename>" via CMD, not Powershell, and if they still don't get removed, restart server)
Keep webs files as these are still relevant and can be moved into the new webs folder on the dedicated drive fx. H: drive
Then finally run the install script again
