This document is a tutorial intended to remind you of the different steps required to configure a new Windows computer for a WEBDEV Application Server. This document is not exhaustive, additional information is available in the first section of this book.

• Operating system of server: Windows Server 2008/2012
• Web server: IIS
• FTP server (for the remote setups): IIS

• the operating system of server.
• the Web server used.
• the FTP server used.
• the management of rights.
• the WEBDEV application server.

If you do not possess these skills, we recommend that you have your site hosted by a professional company.
If you want to host your WEBDEV site, choose a server according to your own skills.

The following elements are required:

• The WEBDEV Application Server setup package (with the serial number and setup key).
• A Windows administrator account of the computer (with the rights to create a Windows user account and a group of Windows users).
• A Web server (IIS for this example).
• An FTP server for the remote setups (IIS for this example).
• An HFSQL Client/Server server (optional).

• In the WEBDEV editor, you can test the site using WEBDEV Application Server 32-bit (default) or 64-bit ("Debug in 64-bit" option).
• For the HFSQL server, we advise you to install the 64-bit version. Indeed, if a large number of connections are established and each of these connections performs many operations, the 2 GB memory limit of the 32-bit server may be reached more quickly.
  Furthermore, the same features are supported regardless of the version of HFSQL server (32 or 64-bit). It is seamless for the WEBDEV sites and WINDEV applications that connect to it: they can be 32 or 64-bit, Linux, Mac, etc.
