Option 2 – Parallel installation
Install the new version and let it parse the log files. Your users can use the old version to view
their stats while the new version is parsing the log files. Once you and your users are satisfied
with the correct functioning of the new version, you can stop and remove the old version. The
problem with this method is that it requires re-parsing of the log files.
Option 3 – Serial installation
You select a cut-off date when a new sub-build is installed. Stop the merge service on the
older version on this date and let the new merge server parse from this date by removing the
log files prior to the cut-off date from the directory. Provide your users with the log in details
for the reports prior to the cut-off date and separate log in details for after the cut-off date.
Quick Server Administration
After installation open a web browser and type the URL (of the virtual web server that was
created or chosen during installation) in the address bar (or select SurfStatsLive from the
SurfStatsLive program group on the server).
On the SurfStatsLive default web page click the Log in hyperlink to go to the Login Screen.
Type a username, password and select the user type as Server Administrator. If validated by
domain specify the username in the format Domain\UserName. If validating locally, only
specify the username.
Problems logging in? Does the user account you tried to log in with belong to the chosen group
specified in the Global Setup Application if you did not specify SurfStatsLive as the
authentication method (on the Authentication tab)? Also the username and password are case-
sensitive.
To create profile groups, profile administrators and site profiles you can use the SurfStatsLive
administrative scripts OR profile editing screen on the Profiles tab. Scripts are useful especially
when creating a large number of profile groups and profiles.
To use the scripts do the following: In the SurfStatsLive Server Administration web interface
(Profile Groups tab) click the Generate IIS Server Script link on the left, select \\Localhost
from the list of servers. You can also change the name of the script file (if required). Click the
Generate Export Script link. This will create a script file containing profile groups and profiles
based on the IIS configuration of the computer on which SurfStatsLive is installed. Examine
the file (which is created on the server running SurfStatsLive) and edit the file as required. The
following commands are normally present in the file:
AddGroup – which adds a profile group.
AddProfAdmin – which makes the specific user the profile administrator for the profile
group. Each profile group can only have one profile administrator. No need to create an
account for profile administrator anywhere else.
AddProfile – adds a profile to the specified profile group.
