    install server

    by wildman » Sun Aug 02, 2009 11:51 am

    If you don't install server when first installing retail edge on a machine, but decide later to install the server on that machine, can it be done without a complete reinstall? Or do you have to uninstall the client then install the complete server/client?

    With the installer there should not be a problem doing this later. You might get an error message, but I think it should work.

    However, I typically recommend that if you are thinking about doing this in the future (installing the client and server) that you either do it initially or uninstall/reinstall. Many customers install both to provide redundancy in case a server crashes and they need to quickly restore data and point to another machine. This can lead to confusion with some people as to where the data is actually residing, but if you are doing it all yourself then this might be a good and less expensive solution to providing a RAID server or some sort of system that gives you this redundancy.
