Install Truxton

Description

There are several different installations of Truxton.

Stand-alone Install

From the root of the ISO folder, run Truxton_Installer.exe and accept the defaults. The database will be running on this machine. The depot files will be stored on a folder on this machine. This is much like a single machine install.

Client Server Install

This installation is where you have a database server and depot folders are shared.

New Install

Server

From the root of the ISO folder, run Truxton_Installer.exe and customize it to:

• Put the database onto an SSD drive
• Put the depot files into folder in storage

Customize the install by:

• Share the Depot folder. The resulting share name will be something like \\TruxServer\Depot
• Edit TruxtonSettings.xml to:
  • Set the hashsetdir setting to point to a folder on an SSD and move the NSRL hashset there
  • Set the depotshare setting to contain the name of the share of the depot folder
  • Restart the Truxton service

Client

• Run the Truxton_Analyst_4.3.0.30731.exe installer.
• Run the Analyst desktop and change the database connection to point to the server.
• If you want the client to be unable to load data into Truxton:
  • Stop the Les service. You can prevent it from running by executing

    sc config "Les" start=disabled
    

  • Stop the Truxton service. You can prevent it from running by executing

    sc config "Truxton" start=disabled
    

Existing Install

Server

If you are converting a stand-alone installation of Truxton to be a server, you will have to modify a few things.

• Stop the Truxton service
• Share the Depot folder. The resulting share name will be something like \\TruxServer\Depot
• Set the depotshare setting to contain the name of the share of the depot folder
• Restart the Truxton service
• Modify the existing entries in the [Depot] table to have the URI column contain the correct location.

  UPDATE "Depot"
  SET "URI" = REPLACE( "URI", '\\Machine\Share\', '\\TruxServer\Depot\')
  WHERE "URI" LIKE '\\\\Machine%'
  

  • Here's the SQL to change the URI
  • You can also change the depot path if need be.

Client

• Run the Truxton_Analyst_4.3.0.30731.exe installer.
• Run the Analyst desktop and change the database connection to point to the server.
• If you want the client to be unable to load data into Truxton:
  • Stop the Les service. You can prevent it from running by executing

    sc config "Les" start=disabled
    

  • Stop the Truxton service. You can prevent it from running by executing

    sc config "Truxton" start=disabled
