Installation of AxxonData

Note
titleAttention!
  • You cannot install AxxonData together with Axxon PSIM, because the CassiniService service is started during Axxon PSIM installation. This service runs on port 8081, the same port as the nginx service of AxxonData.
  • Before installation, make sure that ports 80 and 443 are free in the system. Port 80 is used by the Web-Server by default (see Configuring the Web-Server).
  • You can install local cloud on port 80 or port 8082 using the HTTP protocol. If port 80 is free, then local cloud will be installed on it. In this case, in order to access the cloud via web and add servers to it, it is necessary to provide access to port 80 from Client devices or from the connected Axxon One Server. If port 80 is busy, then local cloud will be installed on port 8082. In this case, it is necessary to provide public access to two ports: 8082 and 8888.
  • Before installation, make sure that port 8080 is free in the system. By default, port 8080 uses the Virtual input (see Configure virtual inputs). If port 8080 is busy, the domain synchronization with AxxonData isn’t possible.
  • If Axxon One of the Failover server and client installation type is installed on your computer, you must allocate a separate computer to install AxxonData. You cannot install AxxonData together with Axxon One of the Failover server and client installation type.

...

  1. Download the distribution kit using the link.
  2. Run the AxxonData installer as an Administrator.
  3. Select the installation language and click OK.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Select the installation directory and click Next.
  6. Select the access protocol for local cloud and click Next.

    Note
    titleAttention!
    • If you install AxxonData using the HTTPS access protocol, then it won't be possible to update it to HTTP later. HTTP protocol is available starting from Axxon One 1.9.
    • If you select the HTTPS protocol, AxxonData will be installed in a standard way using a certificate. If you select HTTP, AxxonData will be installed without encryption using port 80. If you free port 80 (for example, by changing the port of the Axxon One Wed-Server), AxxonData will be installed on port 80. If port 80 is busy (for example, if the Axxon One Server is running at the time of installation), you will be prompted to use port 8082:.Image Removed
