The Aptify LMS setup program can be broken down into two different actions:
- Installing the Aptify database server components
- Installing the Aptify e-Business web server components
When installing Aptify LMS for the first time, the standard installation method is to install the necessary components for both the database and the web server (as described in Installing the Aptify LMS Module). However, depending on your environment, you can also perform each action within the installation process separately by selecting (or clearing) the applicable options. The sections below describe each installation step and where to locate the action in Installing the Aptify LMS Module if you choose to install the LMS components separately. You can see an example of a separate components installation process in Example Separate Action Installation Method.
Installing the Aptify Database Server Components
This action installs or updates the LMS database and the necessary Aptify database server components, including the Course Import Wizard and supporting entities and objects. See Step 15 in Installing the Aptify LMS Module for more details about the information required to complete this part of the install.
If you are installing the database and web server components separately, you must install the database server components first: Aptify e-Business web server components can only be installed after the Aptify database server components.
Installing the Aptify e-Business Web Server Components
This action creates the AptifyLMS application pool in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) for Windows, which is run by the LMS User specified in the step, and installs the ScormEngine and Courses web applications. See Step 13 in Installing the Aptify LMS Module for more details about the information required to complete this part of the install.
