Cloud Cruiser Express' automated installation wizard performs the following tasks:
The application server is installed as a system service that you can manage from the Services administrative tool. The service’s name is Cloud Cruiser
.
When installing the Cloud Cruiser Express application, the system sets permissions to all directories for administrators by default. If a user without administrator permissions installs the application, the user has read-only access to installed directories and is unable to modify the content. To change this, right-click the base directory, select Properties, and change the access permissions.
CCExpress-installer-<version>.exe
file.C:\Users\<username>
, as the Install path . By default this directory contains a shortcut named Templates
that conflicts with the name of a directory the installer creates. This conflict causes an error and a failed installation. If you want to install Cloud Cruiser under your home directory, specify a subdirectory such as C:\Users\<username>\CloudCruiser
.The database settings vary slightly depending on the database type you chose:
Database Host | Hostname or IP address of the machine where the database server is running. If using a named instance of SQL Server, do not enter it here. See the Additional URL Properties field. |
Database Name | Name of the database to be created for Cloud Cruiser. If the database you specify exists, the installer will delete and rebuild it. |
Service Name | (Oracle only) Name of the Oracle service. |
Database Port | Name of the port on which the database server is listening for connections. |
Additional URL | (optional) Additional connection parameters needed to establish a database connection. If using a named instance of SQL Server, specify it here by entering |
Integrated Security Domain | (SQL Server only) If using Windows authentication, enter the local name of the machine where you are currently installing. In this case, the Application User, DBA User, and their passwords are not needed. If using Mixed Mode authentication, leave this blank and fill out the remaining fields. |
Application User | Name of the user and database schema to be created. Cloud Cruiser connects to the database as this user. Leave blank if using an Integrated Security Domain. If the specified user already exists, the install will delete the existing user and all existing schema data. |
Password | The password to create for the Application User. Leave blank if using an Integrated Security Domain. For SQL Server, this password must comply with SQL Server's default password policy. For more information, see SQL Server Password policy. |
DBA User | Username of an existing database administrator account. The installer will log into the database server as this user to create the Application User and to create and populate the database named above. The DBA User’s credentials are not stored. Leave blank if using an Integrated Security Domain. On SQL Server, this is typically the |

You are only allowed one data source with Cloud Cruiser Express, so its name is not important. | |
Hostname or IP address of the Windows Azure Pack Usage API computer. This is the server from which Cloud Cruiser Express collects subscription and usage data. It is the same as the Admin Site computer unless you have installed these Windows Azure Pack components separately. | |

appears. If you are unable to correct the error at this time and choose to continue with the installation, you must later provide working credentials as documented in Completing an installation that did not connect to Windows Azure Pack.If you provided working Windows Azure Pack credentials, then after installation Cloud Cruiser Express collected subscription and usage data for the current day, and you can view the charges for this usage on the Home page of the Cloud Cruiser Express Portal or by running a report.
If you want to use Windows authentication with SQL Server then continue to the next section, Configuring Windows authentication with SQL Server. Otherwise go to Registering the REST API endpoint with Windows Azure Pack.
