Step 2

ECF Installer Steps

 

  • Accept Licensing
  • Configure Database 
  • IIS Web Site Configuration screen: This screen will help you set up an IIS web site for your installation.** Option 1: Selecting the Web Application option is useful because it enables multi-site functionality in a single domain/site folder scenario. ** Option 2: You can choose not to select the "Map to IIS Web Application" option if you are interested in a multi-site/multi-domain scenario.
  • Configuration Options: This screen will allow you to specify the options to set up a B2C Sample Site catalog and install and start a Quartz Job Secheduler Service for ECF.
  • Confirm Installation: The summary of your setup will be displayed here. Select Next to begin your installation. It will take a few minutes for the installation to complete.
Step 3

Verification of Install

 

Now you should be able to verify a few simple tasks on the front-end site.

Browsing Your Public Sample Site

Browse to [[[http://localhost/b2csamplesite|http://localhost/b2csamplesite]|http://localhost/b2csamplesite]|http://localhost/b2csamplesite], or any other URL you specified. The B2C Sample Site homepage will open.
Click on Digital Cameras menu or other catalog menus and you will be redirected to the chosen catalog samples.

Note: If you didn't choose the Install Quartz Service option on the Configuration Options screen of the wizard, then you must first index your catalogs. To do this, log in as "admin" using the default credentials (user name: admin, password: store) and select the Management Console tab that will appear on the top of the sample page. Once you are in the Commerce Manager environment, go to Administration > System Settings > Search Index and click Rebuild. The catalog will be indexed momentarily. Once the indexing is complete and everything works, you are done. If you encounter problems, please read our (Adding Troubleshooting link) section.

Accessing Commerce Manager

To access Commerce Manager, select Log in to Your Account located at the top of your public site and use the default administration credentials (same as logging in as "admin"). Click on the Management Console tab appears at the top of the screen and you will be rerouted to the Commerce Manager.

If You have the Proper System Requirements, then Installing the ECF Trial is Easy!

Follow These Steps

Download and Extract Mediachase ECF G5.1 Package to Local Machine

Download the Mediachase.ECF.SDK.5.1 zip package from the link we send you. For information on how to purchase a package and obtain the link, contact [sales@mediachase.com|mailto:sales@mediachase.com].

Once you download and extract the package you will the following contents as shown in the image below.  
            Unable to render embedded object: File (InstallationWizardScreen0.png) not found.

<<Note>> For Windows Server 2003 users only: Our current release has one known issue that requires one additional manual process before running the installer. For more details, click on [Known Issues with the installer|#Known Issues with the installer]  

Run the Installation Wizard

  • Click \Mediachase.ECF.SDK.5.1\setup.exe and the ECFG5.1 Installation Wizard will launch.
    Note: There are two files with similar names: setup.exe and setup.exe.config. Please use setup.exe as the config file will only open the XML file in a browser.
  • Select Next to move on to the next screen. You can always return to previous pages at any time by clicking Back.

Known Issues with the installer

  • On the Database Configuration screen there are options to use Windows Authentication for the database owner and admin. These options are currently not working. Use SQL Authentication instead. >> This has been resolved in the new release (Installer ver 1.2.2.46).
  • We have one known issue with the installer for Window Server 2003 users. If you are planning to use the installer to set up a trial package, you will need to manually create a new IIS Web Site before you run the installer. On Step 3 of the wizard titled "Public Website Configuration," use the drop-down menu to select the web site that you manually created beforehand. The option to Create New Website does not work for Windows Server 2003. The installer works fine on all other operating systems without having to create a new IIS Web Site manually. ** When manually creating your IIS Web Site, make sure that the following IIS properties are correctly set:** Execute permissions option > Scripts Only** ASP.NET version > 2.0.50727

Completely Uninstalling ECF after a Successful or Failed Installation

To completely uninstall a successful or failed installation, do these four tasks:

  • Delete the Mediachase installation folder (typically found into C:\Program Files)
  • Delete the newly created database
  • Delete the site in IIS
  • Delete Quartz service running

If the install failed and depending on where it failed, you may not need to do all four, but at the minimum delete the entire Mediachase folder under Program Files.
