Local network update via repository available through HTTP protocol

In case of using 2010 version:


To update ArcaVir installation at local networks via repository mechanism available through HTTP protocol, you have to:

 

1. On any machine with Internet access and ArcaVir installed with multi-station licence create so-called repository, namely:
a) Click the left mouse button on ArcaVir icon on the taskbar
b) In the main ArcaVir window click „Settings”
c) Unfold „Update” with a cross
d) Click "Update settings"
e) Select "Applications and repository"
f) In the bottom “Repository folder” window select a folder on the disk, where such a repository is to be created. (the folder should be empty) – this folder should be located on a local disk, it can not be a mapped network resource.

g) Select the "Enable repository" and enter "Port", through which the repository will be enabled in the net (e.g. 800)

NOTICE! If you use ArcaAdministrator, 50000 and 50001 ports are occupied, and on this ports the repository enabling will not be allowed; you should also avoid using the 80 port and a port on which proxy server is running (defaultly it is port 8080).
