Instructions
Note: You must have administrative rights on the computer to install SQL Server Express.
The following components are required to install Octopus.
Microsoft .Net Framework: Octopus has been developed with the Microsoft .NET technology. Therefore, a .NET framework is needed to run
Octopus on your computer. At the time of writing, the required version is the .NET Framework 3.5. SP1
Download and install Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1
Windows Installer: download and install Windows Installer 4.5.
Download and install Windows PowerShell 2.0
Note : In order to use Octopus with Terminal server Remote follow the instruction here.
Install SQL Server 2008 Express (including Management studio)
Why install a database management system (DBMS)?
The information handled in Octopus (clients, accounts, contracts, etc.) is stored in a database. The handling of the data and general
maintenance of the database are controlled by a set of programs known as the database management system (DBMS). Therefore, it is
necessary to install a DBMS before setting up Octopus.
Furthermore, any centralized institution whose members are connected by a network may want to rely on a unique database. We thus need
to allow for different machines (i.e. different users running Octopus on their computer) to access the same database. This is achieved by
choosing a DBMS that works as a "server". In this configuration, individual machines become the "clients" of the server, which explains why
we may refer to Octopus as the "client application", or simply "client".
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express with Tools is a free, easy-to-use version of the SQL Server Express data platform that includes the
graphical management tool: SQL Server Management Studio (SMSS) Express. SQL Server 2008 Express provides rich features, data
protection, and fast performance. It is ideal for small server applications and local data stores.
The present installation guide was effectively designed for the use of Microsoft SQL Server Express 2008,
which we will simply refer to as
"SQL Express."
For more information about SQL Server 2008 Express with Tools, including other versions and downloadable components
now available, see Microsoft SQL Server Express.
SQL Server 2005 Express can still be used but we stongly recommand to install 2008 version of Sql Server
Download SQL Server 2008 Express Edition with tools (around 230 MB) and run the setup file.

Why install a database management system (DBMS)?
The information handled in Octopus (clients, accounts, contracts, etc.) is stored in a database. The handling of the data and general
maintenance of the database are controlled by a set of programs known as the database management system (DBMS). Therefore, it is
necessary to install a DBMS before setting up Octopus.
Furthermore, any centralized institution whose members are connected by a network may want to rely on a unique database. We thus need

The present installation guide was effectively designed for the use of Microsoft SQL Server Express 2005,
which we will simply refer to as
"SQL Express."
1. Download SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (around 40 MB) and run the setup file.
Link: http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/1/0/f10c4f60-630e-4153-bd53-c3010e4c513b/SQLEXPR.EXE
Remark: Microsoft regularly updates SQL Express,
so screens could change a little over time.

2. After reading the license agreement, check the box if you
accept the licensing terms and conditions and click "Next" to
proceed.
3. If you are asked to install any prerequisites, accept by
clicking on "Install." Once they are installed, or if you haven't
been asked to install prerequisites, you will see the following
window:
4. Click "Next" to proceed.

5. The setup checks your system's configuration. Click "Next"
when the analysis is finished.
6. You are asked to enter a "Name" (the "Company" field is
optional) before you can proceed by clicking "Next."
7. The default selection matches the requirements for Octopus.
Simply click "Next."

8. Choose "Mixed Mode" for authentification and enter a
password. For security reasons, any user willing to connect to
your database will thus have to enter the correct password. An
account will be created in the SQL Server with the login "sa"
(by default) and the password you typed in.
9. Leave the default selection ("Enable User Instances" is
checked) and click "Next."
10. Similarly, leave both boxes unchecked and click "Next."

2. Install SQL Server Management Studio
11. The setup program is now ready to install the components
making up the SQL Server. Click "Install."
12. All the components will be installed one by one.
A green check should appear next to each of them. However, if a
red cross appears, this will mean that the installation of the selected
component has failed, which would make the whole process
incomplete and result in the impossibility to use Octopus.
A classic problem comes from an incompatibility issue between
MSXML 6.0 and Windows XP. So, if " MSXML6"
proves impossible
to install, you may already have it installed in your machine and face
this incompatibility problem. In that case, uninstall your own version
of MSXML (using such a software like Windows Installer CleanUp)
and restart the whole installation process. This way, MSXML will be
automatically reinstalled along with SQL Server Express,
and you
will not face the same problem anymore.
13. The installation process is now finished. Click "Finish" to
complete the setup, quit the wizard and proceed to the next
installation.

What is a database administration tool?
The database administration tool is the program that allows users to access the database directly, i.e. without having to use Octopus as
go-between. This is particularly helpful in various situations:
to check the data integrity in the database
to correct critical mistakes input by the data clerk
to work on several databases (e.g. for merging and splitting databases)
to create custom reports (in case you are or can rely on a trained IT specialist)
This tool is optional and is not required for a standard use of Octopus. We recommend that you install it only if you have an extended
knowledge of the SQL language.
In this guide, the database administration tool used is SQL Server Management Studio Express,
a free tool provided by Microsoft.

A. Install Octopus Remoting Version
Remoting is obsolete and not supported anymore (as of 01/01/2011).
Installation and Configuration
Installing SQL Server
Here you can find documentation on installation: http://wiki.octopusnetwork.org/display/OctopusInstallationGuide/DBMS+Install
The server installation
Download: you can download Octopus client / server versions here: http://forge.octopusnetwork.org/Octopus-builds/
Now install Octopus Remoting Server application, during installation the service will directly be installed and started on your server.
Once installation is complete, you will find on desktop a shortcut to start the application and also in the start menu.
Server configuration

You can configure the connection to the SQL Server by clicking on the "Edit Config" button
Creation of the database "Accounts".
This database allows you to manage various branches, if this is the first time that you install the server you need to install it.

When the connection to the SQL Server is configured (and is correct), the "Create" button appears if the "Accounts" database does not exist
on your SQL Server.
By clicking on this button, you create directly the database.
Create branches
After you have created the Accounts database, you can create your branches (reminder that one branch = one database)

You can do it simply by clicking on the button "Create DB".
A window appears asking you to specify the name of the Branch and the name of the database.
The new branch appears in the list of databases with its version number.

Remote server port configuration
The port number used by the server can be configured via the file "Config.xml", this file can be found in the folder "OMFS Remoting Server"
of the installation directory.
Edit the port number in the file and save it.
Don't forget to restart the service after that!!!
Be careful
you certainly need to open this port in the firewall for your server!
Installation and configuration of the client application
Install the Octopus Remoting Client application, after the installation, a shortcut will be placed on desktop and in the start menu.

To configure the client, click on the button "Show Configuration" at the bottom right of the login window.
That will expand the window to display the configuration form.
You can then configure the server address (DNS name) and its port.
Click "Save" to save your configuration.

You can now connect, enjoy.
Connect Octopus to Database
This topic will explain how to connect octopus to database server, locally or remotely.
To be able to connect Octopus to remote database,we first need to set permissions on MS SQL Server.
To do this, we need to follow next steps:
Go to
Start Menu > All programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > Configuration Tools > SQL Server Surface Area
Configuration

Now, click on Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections

In this window, find your SQL server instance. If you have not changed name of instance during MS SQL Server installation, it
should be SQLEXPRESS by default.
Expand it and click on Remote Connections
Choose Local and remote connections and Using both TCP/IP connections and named pipes
Now, apply changes.

Next step, we need to enable SQL Browser, go to SQL Server Browser section, change Startup type: to Automatic and apply
changes
Alert window will appear
Click button OK
Now, click button Start,
then close this window clicking OK and reboot your computer.
Your MS SQL Server is ready to establish local and remote connections.
Next part is to setup Octopus connection to previously configured MS SQL Server.
Start Octopus
If you have not connected Octopus to database before, Database control panel
will appear automatically:

But in the case you already have set up connection and would like to change connection to another SQL Server, then go to Data
management menu in Octopus and click on Database control panel. Then click on Change button
In Database control panel specify to which computer and which SQL server you would like to connect. On the screenshot below,
Octopus will use George_PC\SQLEXPRESS connection. As you see, first it is name of computer: George_PC, then then name of
SQL server instance SQLEXPRESS
In some cases, according to SQL Server connection settings, you have to put computer name only, without name of instance, just
like George_PC.

Now, we need to enter Login and Password.
As we mentioned during the MS SQL Server installation, you need to choose MIXED MODE for SQL Server authentication mode.
User name should thus be sa (system administrator) and password that you specified during installation.
Click button Connect
You should now see list of Octopus databases (for first installation, there should be nothing)
If the list of databases is empty, you can create new database clicking on button Create new database
If you decided to create new database, and clicked on button Create new database a pop-up window will appear, enter database
name (we recommand you to use "octopus" as name) and click OK. When database is created, you will automatically return to the
database list window.
Click on database name in the list of databases you would like to use, and then click Set as default button.
Finally, click button Launch Octopus, to restart it and connect to chosen database.
For the new created databases, user name is admin and password is admin by default.
Next step: Octopus launch
