Installing and Configuring on Windows Environments
If so, then, while configuring the eG manager to use MS SQL Server 2005 as the eG backend, ensure
that the password you provide for the eG database user is a strong password. If not, the eG manager
installation will fail. If the eG manager installation fails, before clicking on the OK button of the error
message, check the file \manager\logs\error_log for any errors that may have been
reported during the installation process. If the password provided is not a strong password, the
corresponding error message is logged in the error_log file.
If you prefer, you can manually create a new eG database and a corresponding user on the MS SQL
Server 2005, using the SQL Server Management Studio. Once you have succeeded in this process, you can
then proceed to install the eG manager using the eG database and user that you created manually.
To create an eG database and an eG user on the MS SQL Server 2005, do the following:
1. Open the SQL Server Management Studio follow the menu sequence depicted by Figure 3.99.
Figure 3.99: Opening the SQL Server Management Studio
2. Login using the sa user by providing the appropriate password.
3. Next, from the tree-structure in the left pane of the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, select
the Databases node, right-click on it, and select the New Database option to create a new database
for the eG manager (see Figure 3.100).
