JMC Next-Gen Web Server Install - Manual (Page 11)

11
You are now back out to the JMC folder, so go back one folder to the wwwroot folder. There is an App_Data
folder in each of the Parent, Scheduler, Student and Teacher folders that you see in the wwwroot folder, so
follow the same instructions above, including using iis apppool\jmc in each, to give those folders the correct
permissions.
JMC Next Gen Server Is Part of a Domain
If your JMC Next Gen server is part of a domain, we still have to be able to read and write to the App_Data
folder in each of the JMC, Parent, Scheduler, Student and Teacher folders. We just have to do it another
way. Launch IIS Manager by going to the Start menu in the bottom left corner, and go to the Administrative
Tools selection that is up and over to the right, and then up and over to Internet Information Services (IIS)
Manager. Click the + in front of your server in the upper left corner. Then click on Application Pools
underneath that. Now, right-click on the JMC application pool in the middle and select Advanced Settings. In
the Process Model section, click on Identity, and then click the ... button to the right of
ApplicationPoolIdentity. In the Built-in Account field, change it to LocalSystem and click OK twice. While the
JMC application pool is still highlighted, click on Stop to the far right, and after it stops, click on Start. Now do
the same procedure on the Parent, Scheduler, Student and Teacher application pools.
Section 8 – Installing and Configuring MySQL Administrator for Backing Up
Now that you have gotten everything up and running, we need to have some way to backup. MySQL
Workbench doesn’t have an automated way to do that, but we can revert to its predecessor MySQL
Administrator to do that. It is part of an older version of GUI Tools.
Please do not install a JMC Next Gen update while making a database backup. The backup could
hinder the Next Gen software from updating correctly. This could lead to errors in your software.
First, you need to figure out where you are going to backup to. You could backup to an external hard drive and
rotate it out every couple of weeks, a re-writeable DVD, a flash drive, or whatever backup media you would
like. For these instructions, I am just going to make a new folder on the desktop of the server, and backup
there. You would want to do this on whatever media you are going to use for your backup, so I just went out to
my Desktop on the server, and right clicked on the Desktop, and chose New Folder, and named it JMC
Backup.
You now need to go to your JMC ftp folder, and download the MySQL Gui Tools Installer. In your ftp folder,
you will find a folder named Web Database. Open the Web Database folder, and download the file named
mysql-gui-tools-5.0-r17-win32.msi, and run it on your server to install MySQL Administrator and MySQL
Query Browser. MySQL Administrator will be used later to setup automatic backups, and MySQL Query
Browser may be needed at some point to work with your data.
Now let’s go to the folder where it downloaded the installer, and double-click on it. Click on Run to begin the
install process. At the next screen, click on Next, and then accept the terms in the license agreement, and click
on Next.
