• Сonfigure the service by the editing the svc.config file.To navigate to the file svc.config you need to paste %LOCALAPPDATA% into the Windows Explorer and press Enter. The parametrs are described in the File gateway settings section.

• Specify in the svc.config file the path to the folder with logs  (e.g. C:\FileGatewaySvc\Logs):

  <fileGateway>
  ...
  <logging logDirectory="C:\FileGatewaySvc\Logs\" ... />
  ...
  </fileGateway>

• Specify in the svc.config file the path to the database file (e.g. C:\FileGatewaySvc\Data\Database.db3):

  <fileGateway>
  ...
  <database dbPath="C:\FileGatewaySvc\Data\Database.db3" ... />
  ...
  </fileGateway>

• Prepare the credentials of the user on whose behalf the service will run (eg. VC_USER/SVC_USER_PASSWORD). The user must have administrator rights to work correctly with the cryptography. Also the certificates must be configured.

• Allow access to the HTTP protocol. Run the command line as an administrator:

  netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8080/ user=SVC_USER
  To change the port:
  <fileGateway>
  ...
  <webInterface listenUrl="http://localhost:8080" ... />
  ...
  </fileGateway>

  Skip this step if you do not want to use the web service interface.

• Install the service. Run the command line as an administrator:

  filegatewaysvc install -username:SVC_USER -password:SVC_USER_PASSWORD -
  -autostart

• Provide access to the folders:

  • destination folder (напр. C:\FileGatewaySvc\).

  • log folder (напр. C:\FileGatewaySvc\Logs\).

  • the folder with database (напр. C:\FileGatewaySvc\Data\).

• Configure the proxy server (see Proxy server configuration).

• Run File Gateway (see Running File Gateway).

The Hardware id will be installed. This app is used to generate hardware code of the computer on the basis of which a licence is granted to use File gateway (see Licensing).
