The Server installer will install or update Servers and Web Console 6.3.

Note: You can install Corticon Servers and the Web Console on a machine that has a previous version installed. Where a previous version is installed, you must manage any port overloads that might result from running both versions. However, an installed version of Corticon Server 5.2 or earlier on the target machine must be uninstalled, then Corticon Server 6.3 installed. Consult with Progress Corticon Support or your Progress representative to consider your migration strategies for existing assets before you take action.

To create or update an installation of Corticon Servers (Java and .NET) and Web Console 6.3:

  1. On the target machine, access the Corticon 6.3.x installers you downloaded.
  2. To open the Progress Corticon Server Setup Wizard:
    • For Windows, double click on: PROGRESS_CORTICON_6.3.x_SERVER_WIN_64.exe
    • For Linux, run: PROGRESS_CORTICON_6.3.x_SERVER_LNX_64.bin
      The installer opens in the installer wizard. The first installer panel opens with information about the installer.
    Note: If the same or higher Corticon Server 6.3.x is installed at any location on the target machine, an alert is posted that denies permission to continue. You will be able to apply Server 6.3 service packs and patches. You can have other versions of Corticon Server installed in distinct folders and they can run concurrently, although they must run on separate ports.
  3. Click Next to continue.

    The License Agreement panel opens.

  4. After you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms of the End User License Agreement, choose I accept the terms of the license agreement, and then click Next.

    The Choose Install Folder panel opens.

  5. The default installation directories are shown. To specify preferred directories on each line, either enter the explicit path, or click Choose to browse to each preferred directory.
    Note: For Linux installations, the work directory path must not contain spaces.
  6. Click Next.

    The Choose Server Components panel opens.

  7. Choose the one or more components you want to install at this time. Any components already installed are chosen and grayed out. If you choose Corticon Server for .NET as one of the components, see the topic How to set up Corticon .NET Server resources on an IIS server for further instructions.
    Note: The Linux installer does not enable a Corticon Server for .NET installation.

    Click Next.

  8. If you selected the Java Server or Web Console, the Corticon Port Numbers panel opens.
  9. If any of the preferred ports conflict with existing applications, you can change them at this time to an integer value from 1024 to 49151. Be aware that the documentation references these ports as though the default values, as shown, were accepted. Consult with your system administrator to identify alternate ports you might use, or to reset the ports on the conflicting applications.

    Enter your preferred port numbers, and then click Next. The Pre-Installation Summary page opens.

  10. Verify your selections in the Pre-Installation Summary panel. Nothing has happened yet so you can click Previous to go back to a panel to make changes, or click Cancel to quit this installation procedure.
  11. Click Install to continue. The installation status window opens. When done, the Install Complete panel opens.
  12. Click Done to complete the Corticon Server / Web Console installation and close the installer.

The installation and update of Corticon Servers and Web Console 6.3 is complete.
