Installing an instance of a Power Tool

The Install page allows you to install an instance of a Power Tool on your site.

How to go to the Install page

1. On the left navigation panel, go to the section Services > Power Tools, and click Power Tools.

2. Click the option button corresponding to the Power Tool whose instance you want to install, and click the Install tab.

To install an instance of a Power Tool:

1. On the Install page, enter all the details required in the form.

2. Click Add.

3. Note: If you create an instance of the Community Server Power Tool using a particular URL, Community Server does not allow you to access that instance using a different URL such as that formed with a domain name alias or with the IP address. To resolve this issue, log in to the instance's database using the credentials specified while creating the instance and add the aliased URLs to the database by running the cs_system_AddNewUrl stored procedure. For instructions, refer to http://developer.communityserver.org/default.aspx/CS.MultipleCommunityInstallations.
   For example, if your site name is example.com, and you create an instance of the Community Server Power Tool called commserver1 through the site control panel, the URL for browsing this instance is http://www.example.com/commserver1. To browse the commserver1 instance using the IP address or domain name alias of example.com, add this URL to commserver1's database by running the cs_system_AddNewUrl stored procedure as follows:
   cs_system_AddNewUrl 'example.com/commserver1', '<sitealias>/commserver1'
   where <sitealias> is the IP address or domain name alias for example.com.
