Installing Dr.Web Server

The installation of Dr.Web Server is the first step in the installation of anti-virus network implementation. Until it is successfully installed, no other anti-virus network components can be installed.

The installation procedure of Dr.Web Server depends on the Server version (for Windows OS or for UNIX system-based OS).

info

All parameters set during the installation can be changed later by an anti-virus network administrator.

 

If the Server software is already installed on your computer, see the Upgrading Dr.Web Server for Windows OS or Upgrading Dr.Web Server for UNIX System-Based OS sections correspondingly.

warning

If the previously installed Server was removed before installing the Server software, contents of the repository will be deleted during installation and the new version will be installed. If the repository of the previous version by some reason was not removed, it is necessary to manually delete the contents of the repository before installing the new version of the Server and then renew the repository after installation.

 

The Server installation folder name must be set on the same language as specified in the language settings of Windows OS for the non-Unicode programs. Otherwise, the Server installation will not be completed.

The English language is an exception for the installation folder name.

Together with Dr.Web Server, Dr.Web Security Control Center is installed, which serves to manage the anti-virus network and set up the Server.

By default, Dr.Web Server will run automatically after the installation under Windows OS and must be started manually under UNIX system-based OS.
