Installing Dr.Web Server

Installing Dr.Web Server is the first step in setting up an anti-virus network. Until it is successfully installed, no other anti-virus network components can be installed.

The Dr.Web Server installation procedure depends on the Dr.Web Server version (for Windows OS or for Unix-like OS).

info

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

 

If the Dr.Web Server software is already installed on your computer, refer to sections Upgrading Dr.Web Server for Windows OS or Upgrading Dr.Web Server for Unix-like OSs, respectively.

warning

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

 

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

Alternatively, you can use English for the name of your installation folder.

Dr.Web Security Control Center is installed together with Dr.Web Server, which is used to manage the anti-virus network and configure Dr.Web Server.

By default, Dr.Web Server runs automatically after its installation on Windows OS and must be started manually on Unix-like OS.
