Install data server on Windows 2019

Answered
EDGARDO COLON asked on October 21, 2021

Hello,
I'm trying to install Flexmonster Data Server latest version on Windows 2019 Std Edition.
I successfully installed:
nvm
nodejs
All latest version.
Then I tried 2 ways:

  1. Download the whole package and run the exe files (1. flexmonster-data-server.exe then  2. Flexmonster-Admin-Panel.exe)

Result: when I execute Admin Panel it says "Server is unreacheable"
2. Execute from a folder: flexmonster add fds -f  then selected "fds"
Result: The process stops on trying to remove the "Admin-Panel".
Both ways didn´t work.
Please see screenshots to give you a better idea.
 
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
 
Thank you for writing to us.
 
The Flexmonster Admin Panel is a GUI tool for working with Flexmonster Data Server as a service. It is not designed to work with the console application. This is why it couldn't detect the Flexmonster Data Server, which was running as a console application. With this in mind, there are two possible solutions depending on how you would like to use Flexmonster Data Server:

  1. Flexmonster Data Server as a Windows service (comes with a GUI tool - Flexmonster Admin Panel):
    • Install Flexmonster Data Server by running the service-install.bat installer from the downloaded package. This will install and start Flexmonster Data Server as a service.
    • Once the Flexmonster Data Server service is installed, start Flexmonster Admin Panel to configure your Flexmonster Data Server instance. Here is a detailed tutorial on Flexmonster Admin Panel usage for guidance: https://www.flexmonster.com/doc/admin-panel-guide/.
  2. Flexmonster Data Server as a console application:

    Run the flexmonster-data-server.exe executable from the downloaded package to start using Flexmonster Data Server (see "Step 3. Run the Data Server" in the following guide).

    In this case, Flexmonster Admin Panel is not required. To configure Flexmonster Data Server, please see the following guide for reference: https://www.flexmonster.com/doc/configurations-reference/.

 

Please let us know if this helps to get everything working.
Looking forward to your reply.
 
Kind regards,
Vera
