Server

The backend server software layer which is the part of ONLYOFFICE Document Server and ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors and is the base for all other components.

Document service set up

This instruction describes document service deployment for Windows based platform.

Installing necessary components

For the document service to work correctly it is necessary to install the following components for your Windows system (if not specified additionally, the latest version for 32 or 64 bit Windows can be installed with default settings):

Node.js version 8.0.0 or later
Java. Necessary for the sdk build.
Database (MySQL or PostgreSQL). When installing use the onlyoffice password for the root user.
- MySQL Server version 5.5 or later
- PostgreSQL Server version 9.1 or later
Erlang
RabbitMQ
Redis
Python 2.7
Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2010 (necessary for the spellchecker modules build)

Setting up the system

Database setup:
- Database setup for MySQL
  Run the schema/mysql/createdb.sql script for MySQL
- Database setup for PostgreSQL
  1. Enter in psql (PostgreSQL interactive terminal) with login and password introduced during installation, then enter commands:
```
CREATE USER onlyoffice WITH PASSWORD 'onlyoffice';
CREATE DATABASE onlyoffice OWNER onlyoffice;
\c onlyoffice
\i 'schema/postgresql/createdb.sql';
```
  2. Delete from server\Common\config\development-windows.json option sql.
Install the Web Monitor for RabbitMQ (see the details for the installation here)
Open the command line cmd executable.
Switch to the installation directory using the cd /d Installation-directory/sbin command.

Run the following command:

rabbitmq-plugins.bat enable rabbitmq_management

The Web Monitor is located at the http://localhost:15672/ address. Use the guest:guest for the login:password combination.
If Redis does not start or crashes after the start for some reason, try to change the maxheap parameter in the config settings. For 64 bit version of Windows 7 the config file can be found here: C:\Program Files\Redis\redis.windows-service.conf. Find the # maxheap <bytes> line and change it to, e.g.
```
maxheap 128MB
```
and restart the service

Running the service

Run the run.bat script to start the service.

Notes

All config files for the server part can be found in the Common\config folder

default.json - common config files similar for all production versions.
production-windows.json - config files for the production version running on a Windows based platform.
production-linux.json - config files for the production version running on a Linux based platform.
development-windows.json - config files for the development version running on a Windows based platform (this configuration is used when running the ‘run.bat’ script).

In case it is necessary to temporarily edit the config files, create the local.json file and reassign the values there. It will allow to prevent from uploading local changes and losing config files when updating the repository. See Configuration Files for more information about the configuration files.
