Installing GIS Services
The ArcGIS Server 10 - GIS Services setup program is one of two that comprise ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework. The GIS Services setup includes Server Object Manager (SOM), Server Object Container (SOC), Python, Services Manager, and Web Services (SOAP, REST).
How to prepare to install the GIS Services setup program
- Verify that your site meets the system requirements. For system requirement information, see Step 1: Verify system requirements.
- Log in as a user with administrative privileges.
- Close all applications on your computer.
- Insert the ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework media into the appropriate drive to automatically launch the media front end.
Note:ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework requires the following:
- .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1. Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 is available on the ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework media.
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 or higher. You must obtain and install Internet Explorer 7 or higher prior to installing ArcGIS Server.
How to install the GIS Services setup program
- From the media front end, click the GIS Services setup link to launch the ArcGIS Server 10 - GIS Services setup program.
- During the installation, read the license agreement and accept it, or exit if you don't agree with the terms.
- The GIS Services installation allows you to select the features you want.
The ArcGIS Server 10 - GIS Services setup consists of a collection of features and subfeatures. An example of a feature is Server Object Container, which consists of one subfeature, Python. Features consisting of subfeatures will have a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to their left. The plus sign will expand the feature so that you can view its subfeatures. The minus sign will collapse the list of subfeatures. To install other features, see Installing ArcGIS Server overview. To install features at a later time, see Adding additional installation components.
Python is a subfeature of the Server Object Container feature. If Python 2.6.X and Numerical Python 1.3.0 are already installed on your machine, the Python feature will be available for installation, but Python 2.6.5 and Numerical Python 1.3.0 will not be reinstalled.
- If the Python feature is selected for installation and Python 2.6.X and Numerical Python 1.3.0 are not installed on your machine, you will be provided the opportunity to choose the Python installation directory. The default installation location is C:\Python26\.
- Select a Web site for the ArcGIS Server instance. Available Web sites are listed as <Web site name (port)>.
If you don't see the Select a Web site dialog box, this means you only have one Web site. If only one Web site is found on your machine, the ArcGIS Server instance is automatically placed on that Web site without displaying the Select a Web site dialog box.
- Enter the name of the ArcGIS Server instance. The default value is ArcGIS.
Note:If ArcGIS Server 10 - Web Applications is installed, you will not be given the option to configure the ArcGIS Server instance. Services Manager and Web Services are automatically installed to the same instance created by the ArcGIS Server 10 - Web Applications installation process.
- To complete the installation, follow the directions on the screen.
- Complete the post installation process.
After the ArcGIS Server 10 - GIS Services installation completes, launch the post installation process by clicking Finish > OK. The following GIS Server post installation options are required to successfully complete a typical ArcGIS Server installation:
These post installation options will automatically be selected for you.
Note:The Web Services post installation is integrated with the GIS Server post installation.
- After completing the post installation setup, you must complete the additional steps manually using the Windows operating system tools. See Additional configuration steps using operating system tools for more information.
