Server installation checklist

Installing TeamWork on a server computer is a complex procedure that involves the installation and configuration of many different components and configuring the security of those components so that they can communicate with one another.

The following table should serve as a checklist for confirming that the critical related tasks of installing a TeamWork application server have been performed. The table indicates those tasks that should be performed when installing a TeamWork server for the first time, migrating TeamWork from an existing server to a new server, and upgrading TeamWork on an existing server. The tasks are listed in the order in which they should be performed. Use the hyperlinks in the checklist to find the installation information for each task. Track your installation progress by printing this checklist and placing a checkmark in the box in the applicable column as you finish each task.
