File Server Configuration
Instructions to configure the Avo Assure File Server
- 1.Ensure Webserver (avoassurewebserver.exe) is running.
- 2.Create a folder in the server machine (preferably in the WebServer folder, named "PatchUpdate").
- 3.Copy manifest.json file to this folder ("patchUpdate" folder).
- 4.For the 'Download ICE' feature, AvoAssure_ICE.zip should be added (or replaced) to this folder ("PatchUpdate" folder)
- 5.Create a folder (inside the "PatchUpdate" folder) with the alpha version (major-minor) of the AvoAssure_ICE patch. (Eg: if the Patch provided is AvoAssure_ICE_X.Y.Z, then folder X.Y should be created). If the folder with the alpha versioning is already created, then this step can be ignored. Note: The folder structure should be maintained.
Folder Structure for Patch Updater
6. Place AvoAssure_ICE_X.Y.Z.zip (patch file) files in this folder location.
Note: The patch files must have the same alpha version as the folder name.
Patch File Placement
7. Copy the absolute path of this folder, then navigate to the ‘webapp/.env’ file and add this folder path to variable HOST_PATH.
8. ‘File_Server_Port’ (in webapp/.env file) is set to 5100 by default. Any changes in port are to be made here.
- 1.Open an elevated command prompt in the ‘webapp’ folder.
- 2.Type ‘run-fileserver.bat’ and hit enter. Alternatively, type ‘npm run filestart’ and hit enter.
- 3.Upon successful start, you will receive the following message: ‘!!!!!File Server is up!!!!!’
Starting the File Server
4. Avo Assure File Server is available at ‘https://<localhost>:5100’ or ‘https://< localhost >:<port_configured>’. Open the URL in a browser depending on the port they selected (to verify the above).
- 1.Close the command prompt window in which the File Server is running.
- 1.Open an elevated command prompt in the ‘webapp’ folder.
- 2.Type ‘install-fileserver-service.bat’ and hit enter.
Installing File Server as a Service
- 1.Open an elevated command prompt in the ‘webapp’ folder. Note: avoassurefileserver.exe service should already be installed.
- 2.Type ‘start-fileserver-service.bat’ and hit enter.
Starting File Server as a Service
- 1.Open an elevated command prompt in the ‘webapp’ folder. Note: avoassurefileserver.exe service should be running.
- 2.Type ‘stop-fileserver-service.bat’ and hit enter.
Stopping File Server Service
- 1.Open an elevated command prompt in the ‘webapp’ folder. Note: avoassurefileserver.exe service should be in the stopped state.
- 2.Type ‘remove-fileserver-service.bat’ and hit enter.
Removing File Server Service
- 1.Open an elevated command prompt in the ‘webapp’ folder.
- 2.Run the following commands in sequential order i.e., only after the previous command has been completed:
- 1.Type ‘stop-fileserver-service.bat’ and hit enter.
- 2.Type ‘remove-fileserver -service.bat’ and hit enter.
- 3.Type ‘install-fileserver -service.bat’ and hit enter.
- 4.Type ‘start-fileserver -service.bat’ and hit enter.
In case any of the above-mentioned steps fail, ensure the following points have been taken care of:
- 1.Commands are being run with an elevated command prompt (i.e., prompt has Administrator privileges).
- 2.Ensure port 5100 (or any custom selected port) is available and not used by any other program.
- 3.There are no spaces or special characters (such as ! @ # $ % ^ & ( ) + - = { } , . ; ' [ ] ~ `) in the folder name (and entire path) where the WebServer is being extracted. Example:
- 1.Valid: D:\AvoAssure\Server\WebServer\
- 2.Invalid: D:\AvoAssure install files\Server\WebServer\
- 3.Invalid: D:\AvoAssure\Server@files\WebServer\
- 4.If all the above scenarios hold true and the server is still not running, please contact Avo Assure Support Team.
