Installing the web access server and the web access broker on Windows

This topic provides instructions for installing the Rational® DOORS® Web Access server and the Rational DOORS Web Access broker on Windows.

Before you begin

Copy the installation file to the machine or machines that you want to install the web access server and the web access broker on.
Note: The machine you install the web access server on must have 8.3 file names enabled. If you install on a machine that does not have 8.3 file names enabled, the web access server does not start. Also, if you install on a machine that does not have 8.3 file names enabled, and you then enable and restart the web access server, the server will still not start. You must uninstall the web access server completely, enable 8.3 file names, install again (preferably to a new directory), and then restart.

To install the web access server and the web access broker on different machines, repeat the instructions on each machine.
