The Contensive command line tool (cc.exe) performs maintenance tasks, as well as code execution for any of the applications configured in the (application server group)[/help/contensive/Setup and Configuration].
cc.exe --configure
Use the configure command to setup a new server. Before running the command, you should install the latest CLI. If the server will include an http connection, like a web app or website, you also the default-iis app from Contensive downloads.
After running the command, the server will be ready to add an application.
The server group is the name of this server, and it may include one or more applications. Enter a single word, no spaces or special characters. You might use a word that represents the server and not the application, like jayDev.
Answer no if you are not beta testing.
A simple true or false that is passed to the code environment.
For a single server instalation, answer local file system.
A local file systems saves uploaded files to the local server. A remote file system uses the local server as a mirror of a remote file storage area on AWS S3. There are four file systems:
cdnFiles, a file storage location used for content that can be accessed online. This file system is also mapped to http for online file availability
privateFiles, a file storage location used for files that should not be shared with http.
wwwFiles, a filesystem mapped to the physical location of the www files. Typically used to for application files, not content files.
tempFiles, a local filesystem to store ephemeral files (not shared between ). The system automatically deletes tempFiles periodically.
Best practice is to have a drive available for just content, drive-d.
Create an aws user for the server group. All applications in the server group share this user by default. Individual applcations can override these credentials to isolate applications. Policies needed will depend on the configuration.
Enter the region for your application. us-east-1 by default.
Answer no for non-beta sites. This enables sending nLog logging data to Cloud Watch.
For a local database, enter "(local)"
For a remote database like RDS, enter the endpoint for the database engine. for example, "rds-jaydev.-----------.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com"
Credential used to access the Sql Server.
Answer local for non-beta sites. Remote cache expects a Redis server
