Here you can learn how to start Magic Collaboration Studio using the installer file.

Prerequisites

Before installing Magic Collaboration Studio, do the following:


The installer file includes both TWCloud and Web applications (Resources, Collaborator, TWCloud Admin) in its installation package. During installation you will be asked to choose from installation options. The short introduction about these options: 

  1. Quick Install - Quick install is intended for simple collaboration scenarios where Web-based collaboration is not a daily activity. It will install Teamwork Cloud Server, Web Application Platform and all of the web applications (Resources, TWCloud Admin, Collaborator) into a single machine.
  2. Advanced Install - Advanced Install is intended for heavy-weight production use. It will allow you to choose components to install: Teamwork Cloud Server or Web Application Platform (with all of the available applications). This installation option should be used when Teamwork Cloud Server is deployed in a separate machine from the Web Application Platform.


To install Magic Collaboration Studio by using the installer file

    2. If you select Advanced Install, select the components you want to install and click Next.

  4. Configure IP address: 
    1. Enter the name or IP of the machine on which you want to install Magic Collaboration Studio.
    2. Enter the node IP. If your machine is a single node server or the first node in a cluster, enter the IP of your machine.



  5. Click Next.

  6. Select the Java VM installed on your machine for running Magic Collaboration Studio and click Next. 



  7. Select a location on your machine where you want to install Magic Collaboration Studio and click Next.

    • WebApp service
    • Zookeeper service

  11. Check if the system is working. You should be able to access Magic Collaboration Studio via https://FQDN:8443/webapp/.

Post-Installation configuration

The installer has now created the preliminary configuration. If your system is still not operational and you cannot use Magic Collaboration Studio, check the configuration parameters as described below.

  1. Edit the configuration file: C:\Program Files\MagicCollaborationStudio\configuration\application.conf. Search for seeds = , located under the section for the persistence Cassandra section, and replace: localhost with: ip_address_of_cassandra_node. Search for url =, located in the esi.auth section. Enter the IP address or FQDN (if accessing via FQDN) of your server.

  2. If you are accessing TWCloud Admin via its FQDN, edit the configuration file: C:\Program  Files\MagicCollaborationStudio\AuthServer\config\authserver.properties.  Search for server.public.host and replace the IP address with the FQDN.  Search for authentication.redirect.uri.whitelist, and append the following to the entry, https://FQDN:8443/webapp/

  3. Please create a an entry in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts containing the local IP address and the FQDN of your machine, if accessing via FQDN.  For example, if your IP address is 10.1.1.123 and your FQDN is mymachine.mydomain.local, it would be in this form:
    10.1.1.123     mymachine.mydomain.local 

  4. Open an administrative command prompt and issue the following commands in order to create service dependencies:

    sc config authserver depend= teamworkcloud
    sc config webapp depend= teamworkcloud

  5. Open the Task Manager and restart the authserver, teamworkcloud, and webapp services.

  6. In your web browser, go to https://localhost:8443/webapp (if default options are used) to open Magic Collaboration Studio.
