MS SQL, like other commercial third party products, is purchased and installed separately from H-Sphere.
MS SQL Server is a fully Web-enabled database with the ability to query the database through a browser
and rich Extensible Markup Language (XML) support. In addition, MS SQL Server holds benchmark records
for scalability and reliability, both of which are crucial for the success of an enterprise database.
This document explains how to install MS SQL database software and integrate it with the H-Sphere system.
H-Sphere 2.5.0 and higher supports
Microsoft SQL Server
MS SQL server can be installed on H-Sphere Windows server. This means the server must be
added to the H-Sphere configuration.
To add MS SQL to winbox with H-Sphere installed:
- Install ASP.NET 2.0 and check the version of ASP.NET.
RootVer must be 2.0.XXXX, not 1.1.XXXX in the registry HKLM/Software/Microsoft/ASP.NET.
If RootVer is 1.1.XXXX:
- Go to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.5xx\ through command line
- Run from command line:
aspnet_regiis -r
- Restart IIS :
iisreset /restart
- Install MS SQL server following the directions of the installation wizard.
You should also install SQL Server Management Studio Express.
- In SQL Server Managment Studio Express create login with system
administrator privileges for the MS SQL server. As a rule, login 'sa' is used.
- Configure H-Sphere connection settings to work with MS SQL server.
- For H-Sphere 3.0 and higher:
H-Sphere 3.0 + uses Windows authetication method
in order to connect to MSSQL server. Therefore MSSQL server should be
installled locally on the same server with H-Sphere.
Go to /hsphere.net/bin/hsphere.config file and
make sure the NAME_OF_YOUR_SQL_SERVER is set correctly in:
prop name="server" value="NAME_OF_YOUR_SQL_SERVER" description="MSSQL server name or IP"
- For H-Sphere before 3.0:
Go to /hsphere.net/bin/hsphere.config file
and set the following three values for MS SQL Server variables:
-- prop name="server" value="NAME_OF_YOUR_SQL_SERVER" description="MSSQL server name or IP"
-- prop name="salogin" value="MSSQL_LOGIN" description="Administrative login to MSSQL server"
-- prop name="sapassword" value="PASSWORD_FOR_USER_SA" description="Password for administrative login to MSSQL server"
Go to SQLServer Properties -> Security.
Chose SQL Server Authentication and Windows Authentication
to allow H-Sphere and your customers to access MS SQL server remotely.
Make sure that MS SQL server IP set as a logical server IP in the E.Manager menu
is set in Start -> Programs -> MSSQL Server -> Configuration Tools ->
SQL Server Configuration Manager -> SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols for MSSQLSERVER ->
TCP/IP(enabled) -> Properties -> IP Addresses tab.
Make sure this IP is there with Active and Enabled set to Yes.
In your CP add MS SQL server group to the physical winboxes with MS SQL installed.
Add logical MS SQL servers in CP and add IP addresses for it.
On winboxes run the following commands:
net stop hsphere
net start hsphere
Turn on MS SQL servers in the user's Plan Edit Wizard. After that, try creating MS SQL databases from user's CP.
