Installing Mojave Step by Step.

 

These instructions are for those familiar with Commerce Server 2007 who need to upgrade to Mojave. (October CTP) I am concentrating on the steps that may be more difficult for those unfamiliar with SharePoint.

 

·         You need a running Commerce Server 2007 SP2 system with a running site.

In my example I am using a Windows 2003 SP2 system, SQL2005 and I have StarterSite installed

A Windows 2008 system would work just as well.

It will not be possible to use the August CTP virtual pc as a base, since there are difficulties deinstalling the August CTP Commerce Server API.

 

·         Since SharePoint needs the Workflow Foundation you will need the .Net Framework 3.5 SP1. I need the full package version since I am working on a virtualpc. This is downloadable from here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/0/e/20e90413-712f-438c-988e-fdaa79a8ac3d/dotnetfx35.exe Even though this is the full package, it still gives a message “Download complete. You can now disconnect from the internet.” You can ignore this message. Installation took 10 minutes for me and needed a restart.

 

 

·         You need to install MOSS or Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. WSS is simpler and free, but does not support content management.

You can download WSS from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=d51730b5-48fc-4ca2-b454-8dc2caf93951

 

 

Choose Advanced, since we do not want to install SQL Embedded Edition

 

Similarly, select WFE and install now. Installing just puts files on the system and some entries in the registry. It takes about 3 minutes. Configuration is what does the real heavy lifting! Leave the box checked to Run the Configuration wizard and complete the installation.

Let the Configuration wizard run, and accept the warnings about stopping services. You should come to this screen:

 

Create a new farm and press next.

 

Enter the SQL Server name and an account that has Security Administrator and Database Creator permissions on the SQL server.

 

Accept the defaults on this and the next screen. It will take about 5 minutes.

You will be asked to login and the Central Administration Web Site opens. Make sure your server is in the trusted zones of your explorer to avoid needless logins.

Now click on the  Application Management tab.

Select Create or extend Web application and then Create an new Web application

I changed the port number to 8080 used an existing application pool (Advworks\administrator). Is not good practice, but need to keep things simple for CTP testing.

Click on the link Create Site Collection

Add a title for the site, do not change the Web Site Address, make sure Team Site is selected and add a Primary Site Collection Administrator (you will need this later)

After creating the site, you will see a page with a link to the site itself. Click on this link. The team site should display in the browser.

Install the following two updates.

         WSS 3.0 SP1 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=130486)

You will get a message about installing this on every server in the farm. You can press OK.

·         WSS 3.0 Infrastructure Update (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=130487)

I received a message that there were no components needing this update.

·          Install MicrosoftCommerceAPI.exe, MicrosoftCommerceSharePoint.exe, MicrosoftCommerceDocumentation.exe from the October CTP. (there is no finish screen for these)

I would encourage you to make a back up of the web.config for your sharepoint team site.

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\8080

Now go to the command line and change the directory to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Commerce\Portal

 

 Portalconfig.exe -w:MicrosoftCommerceWebParts.wsp

You can select the application and the site collection. Make sure the site name is the same as in Commerce Server Manager.

 

This installs the solution file and updates the web.config. Amazing the trust level stays at WSS_Minimal.

To test if Mojave is working go to your team site in your browser http://con-cs:8080/default.aspx

Click on the triangle next to Site Actions and select Edit Page

 

Now click on Add a Web Part

Select the Registration Web Part and Add

Now press Exit Edit Mode (Just under Site Actions)

Now click on another page on the site (View All Site Content for example)

Click on the Portal to return to the Page.

Mojave is working!
