How To: Install modus web components on a separate server Overview Verify that IIS and Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 are already installed Install the modus web components Create an ODBC connection for the Quarantine database Edit the webmailsvr.ini file NOTE: These instructions apply to both modusMail and modusGate, except where indicated. IIS and .NET 2.0 Availability The server must already be running IIS and .NET version 2.0, otherwise the modus web components will prompt you to install the missing component(s) and direct you to the required Microsoft site(s). If you prefer to install .NET manually, the instructions can be found at the end of this document. Note that IIS must be installed prior to .NET. Installing modus web components 1. Copy the modus executable file from your modus server to the web server 2. Double-click to launch the installer and follow the instructions 3. When prompted for the license key, enter the same key used by the modus server. The keys must match to ensure proper communication between the servers. 4. When prompted, select just the web components for installation 5. The remainder of the installation will only require a few minutes. It is recommended to use the default settings Create the ODBC connection to the Quarantine database On the server that now houses the modus web components, you must create an ODBC connection to ensure proper communication between the web server, the modus server and the Quarantine database. 1.
