Install Media Server from the ZIP Package

HPE recommends that you install Media Server using the IDOL Server installer (see Install Media Server on Windows or Install Media Server on UNIX). However, if necessary, you can install Media Server from the ZIP package.

To install Media Server from the ZIP package (on Windows)

  1. Extract the contents of the ZIP package to your chosen installation directory.
  2. Install all of the redistributables located in the runtime folder. These install prerequisites that are necessary to run Media Server.

  3. Modify the parameters in the [License] section of the Media Server configuration file so that Media Server can query your License Server. For information about how to do this, see Configure the License Server Host and Port.
  4. You can now start Media Server. You can install Media Server as a Windows service and then start and stop the service. For information about how to do this, see Install an IDOL Component as a Service on Windows.

To install Media Server from the ZIP package (on Linux)

  1. Extract the contents of the ZIP package to your chosen installation directory.
  2. Modify the parameters in the [License] section of the Media Server configuration file so that Media Server can query your License Server. For information about how to do this, see Configure the License Server Host and Port.
  3. You can now start Media Server. To start Media Server, run the start script start.sh, and to stop Media Server run the stop script, stop.sh. These scripts are included in the Media Server installation directory.
